Classic International ships held

Saturday, 20 Sep, 2012 0

Reports from Europe indicate that three ships in the Classic International Cruises fleet have been arrested for non-payment of fuel bills.

One of the ships, the 580-pasenger Athena, is scheduled to be home ported in Fremantle for an extended 2012/13 season in Western Australia.

According to Seatrade Insider, Athena, on charter to All Ways Travel, Belgium, was arrested in Marseille on Friday.

Some 285 passengers were repatriated to Belgium with “minimum fuss,” reports the Belgian tour operator.

Susanne Hunter, the administration manager of Classic International Cruises in Sydney, told Seatrade Insider the owners of the vessels were solving the problem and Athena’s full 2012/13 extended season in Western Australia would go ahead.
