Maritime Compass: Princess Taiping update

Sakkis, a friend of one of Princess Taiping's crew members, Hugh Morrow, took time to leave a comment here. He has a nice post with a video on his blog, "Mr. Cakes mishapps and misadventures." He prompted me to look for some updates.

I was able to dig up the following news stories that cover different aspects of the incident:

Wrecked vessel's crew wants investigation into sea strike (Apr. 29, 2009) Story with details of the accident from crew members.
Foiled voyage crew visit commission (Apr. 28, 2009) Story about the crew's visit to the Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission, and their intent to file a reasonable compensation claim.
Princess Taiping's crew to tell their voyage in Xiamen, (Apr. 29, 2009) Story about Hugh Morrow, who left the ship in Okinawa.

In addition, The Old Salt Blog has an update with a link to the details on the freighter, the Champion Express.

I still can't get over this. How on earth could the tanker just keep going?

That's a question that I hope gets answered by the investigations.

Probably, because the screws weren't fouled by the debris.
