Cruise ship legal row resolved
A legal row which left a cruise ship with 460 passengers on board detained in Madeira since Tuesday has been resolved.
The MV Van Gogh, on the last leg of a world cruise, was at the centre of a dispute between administrators of former operator Travelscope and ship owners, Dutch company Club Cruise.
Paul Clark, one of the joint administrators of Travelscope, said last night: “I can confirm that, following discussions with Club Cruise, we have agreed to release the vessel MV Van Gogh from detainment in Madeira.
“This is as a direct result of a satisfactory solution being agreed by ourselves and the owners of the vessel.
“We are unable to reveal the details of the solution but, needless to say, we are pleased to have resolved this impasse.â€
It is believed that the administrators were looking for payment of £1.6 million.
The ship was originally due back in Falmouth in Cornwall on Saturday.
