Discovery detained

摘要

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) detained the 1972-built cruise ship Discovery at Portland Port in late February after the crew were unable to launch lifeboats in a pre-cruise safety drill. The passengers, whose cruise was cancelled, were paid around ￡250 each and offered a large percentage reduction if they rebook on the ship. They spent around 24 hours on the ship before being informed the cruise would have to be cancelled.
