Boreal
An update. Boreal has been towed from Falklands to Punta Arenas and is currently moored next to the ship I am on (Seabourn Quest), returning from Antarctica to Valparaiso, and looks in good shape. However, there is evidence of a very significant fire on the engine room walls, burnt, peeled plates and black soot. Etc. first thoughts of marine engineers here is of a burst fuel pipe spraying fuel onto very hot turbocharger casings.
Lots of engineers currently working on the vessel.
New ship , only 4 years old, very high onboard standards.
Apparently, in the Falkland the locals put up most pax in their homes until cruise line flew them out. Many did not speak English so it was an "interesting " time.
Seems the incident got lots of press coverage in some parts of the world, but not in the UK.
Anyway, it seems the rescue was a text book operation so another "very well done" to all concerned.
