Friends and Fellow  Mariners,

The "Stolk Valor" hijacking "Media News" seems to have gone "Cold" and my deepest sympathies to the "crew" of the vessel for being considered a "Dispensable commodity". Have we Sea-farer's brought these "State-of -affairs" on ourselves by our own petty squables and professional rivalries? Strange,"Sea-fare's" which form the elite professionals of the Indian work-force are given an absolutely callous view by the 'media" as well as "Government".

As they say, "Out of sight means out of mind", in a few weeks "Stolt Valor" will be part of "Shipping Disaster history", another casualty in the world's second largest populated Country.Hope i am proved wrong.
