    What does AH think of this?!? First of all the "Repo Ship", runs aground, then another absolute balls is made of the job when they try to hoist up the two boats that are being Repo'd, onto their recovery ship!

    What the hell are you talking about? 3 guys are severely injured and probably could have been killed. Whats with the repo hate? Molested by a clown while on the ferry to hollyhead?

    Don't do the job if you can't handle the risk, the guy who bought these boats has obviously put a curse on the Repo team!

    The owners must be in a sea of debt. Apparently they borrowed from Ocean Finance...

    It's their own fault, standard practice (and common sense) states when a large object is being moved by a crane you should not to be on/in said object. You know, just in case the sling snaps or something...

    Yeah these were ferries for the aran islands but the company went into receivership.

    I dont think they are necessarily being repossesed but they were sold by the receiver at auction and they have been bought by a foreign company in india I think.

    First the ship coming to collect them moored in the wrong spot and ran aground when the tide went out and now this. What a calamity!

    They were a transport company. The boat was been sent to Mauritius, - repo crews dont do long distance transportation - they seize.

    If you cant pay for something you bought- the owner takes possession of it. I dont see the problem

    Its not a "Repo". The two smaller vessels in question were sold off months ago by a Bank/receiver to recoup some of the loans the original owners could not repay.

    A new ligitimate ferry operator from Mauritius bought the two vessels for approx 800grand from the bank and hired the bigger ship to transport them back to Mauritius for them. Hence its not a "repo" or anything like it.

    Just a ship trying to transport a cargo from point A to point B and making a complete balls of it along with a lot of bad luck.

    I hear ye on the "Repo" argument. It's looking like it would be a cheaper task to move Mauritius to here than to get these two boats to Mautirius by the current task masters...
