I recently read that she only cost 130 million to build (as part of a multi ship construction program) so if I were the owner I should suggest that the Egyptian authorities kept her. That should save the owners a fortune. Let the owners of the cargo sue Egypt for the return of their property. After all, the cargo owners had no responsibility for the accident. Or am I missing some major legal difficulty here? Deep down I have a feeling that this issue will rumble on for years until either sanity sets in or the lawyers get very rich.
