Passengers stranded on cruise ship in South Korea
Passengers were left stranded on a Chinese luxury cruise ship after it was detained at a port in South Korea over a legal dispute.
Some 2,300 passengers and crew were stuck on board the Henna in a port on the South Korean island of Jeju from Friday as it was due to leave for Incheon.
A local court ordered the ship not to leave after a request from a Chinese shipping company, Jiangsu Shagang International but it is not clear what the dispute centres on, reports the BBC.
The cruise liner had set off from Tianjin, a port city near Beijing, on Wednesday and was scheduled to sail around South Korea islands before returning to Tianjin six days later.
More than 1,000 people were due to be flown back to China yesterday, the Chinese consulate in Jeju said.
The Henna, which was previously operated by Carnival Cruises, made its maiden voyage under Chinese ownership earlier this year.
