Imbat has just discharged a cargo of coal on the Tyne,[13.11.06-15.11.06]but it appears to be detained again as she has been moved from her discharge quay to a mooring often used for lay-ups or detention.

Last week, she lost two crew members who argued they wanted to see a doctor in Montréal but who didn't report back to the ship. Today, six crew litteraly went overboard while the ship was underway on the St.Lawrence River off Champlain, Québec, during the early morning hours. Three made it safely to shore while the other three are unaccounted for at this time,
IMBAT is now detained at the Port of Québec quite short on manpower as only 12 out of 20 crew members are still on the ship.

The builders in all probability used the same plans they had for her in 1987, making her look old even after being complete in 2000, my opinion only. Good photo Marc.
