Flag raises exploratory questions

摘要

An investigation by the Liberian Registry into the November 2007 sinking of the passenger-ship Explorer off the South Shetland Islands, while on an Antarctic cruise, has concluded that the primary reason for the casualty was a mistaken interpretation by the vessels master of the nature of the ice he was entering.rnAfter the ship was abandoned, all 54 crew and 100 passengers were rescued by the Norwegian vessel Nordnorge.
