FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
St Ange said the next move would be to fly Costa Allegra’s 636 passengers and
413 crew out of the country, but he feared there may not be enough seats on
the four flights scheduled to leave the country on Tuesday.
The tourism board head said arrangements would be made to tow the cruise liner
to Mahe “but it will take a day or two to reach here”.
The luxury liner left the port of Diego Suarez in Madagascar on Saturday and
was due to arrive in Mahe in the Seychelles on Tuesday.
There were no injuries from the fire, which has not spread to other parts of
the vessel.
The ship had been without power and adrift about 20 miles off Alphonse Island
in the Indian Ocean.
“The shipboard fire-extinguishing system and procedures were promptly
activated and the special fire-fighting squads intervened to extinguish
fire,” parent company Costa Cruises said in a statement.
“As a precaution, the general emergency alarm was given and all passengers and
crew members not engaged in the management of the emergency reached the
muster stations with the relevant safety equipment.
“Inspections on the state of the engine room are on-going, in order to restart
the necessary equipment to reactivate the functionality of the ship.”
The ship sent out a distress single and alerted naval authorities, including
the Maritime Rescue Control Centre in Rome.
“Costa Crociere and the relevant authorities are acting to provide the ship
with the necessary support. Costa Allegra is going to be reached by tugs and
other naval and aerial units,” the company said.
On board the ship are 636 passengers of various nationalities and 413 crew
members.
The 600ft-long ship was built in Genoa in 1992. It has eight passenger decks
and 400 cabins and can carry up to 1,400 people.
The Costa Allegra was on a month-long cruise of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea
and the Mediterranean.
After leaving from Port Louis in Mauritius it made its way to Madagascar. It
was then due to head to the Seychelles, Oman, Egypt and Jordan before ending
its voyage in Savona near Genoa in Italy next month.
Two web cameras on board the ship, which normally transmit live pictures, were
shut down earlier on Monday.
There are 212 Italians on board – 126 passengers and 86 crew. The
nationalities of the rest of the passengers and crew are not yet known.
Shares in Carnival, the American company that owns Costa Cruises, fell by
nearly two per cent on the New York Stock Exchange on news of the accident.
The accident comes weeks
after the 950ft-long Costa Concordia rammed into rocks off Giglio,
forcing the night-time evacuation of 4,200 passengers and crew.
The death toll from the disaster stands at 25, with seven people still
missing.
