Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
Built in 1978 and has seen real hard use every day it's been in service as far as I can see from googling out the marine registry I'm sure its owners (the Shipping Corporation of India) would be happy to give them the ship for free.

Valuable? The consignment belongs to whoever consigned it, and I guess all the shipper has to do is to remove it from the impounded ship and book space on some other rust bucket. Should be fairly easy - those are fairly crowded waters.
This I'm not sure about. The GTS Katie debacle involved holding the cargo hostage; in at least that one case such was a nono. Otherwise...?

The sheriff showed up one day with eviction notices for all.] -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
