Cruise ship Costa Allegra has had to be towed to safety following the fire broke out and the ship had been without power. This had happened in March,2012, about 200 nm miles SW of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
The ship had been towed to Port Victoria. Instead of using the two tugs went in there for assistance the Captian had opted to use a fishing vessel to tow his ship to Port Victoria.
The action of the Captain had allegedly delayed the arrival of the ship in the port by about 15 hours, extending the misery of the passengers and crew:no air conditioning, no working showers in toilets and no hot food.
Good news is no any casualties, except that one woman has had a broken ankle.How did that happen???
Nevertheless, she is said to be under good care and will be home soon."
On arrival at the port passengers have been taken to local hotels and had been offered flights home.
What a great Island it must be;some passengers have extended their stay in Seychelles.
