Croatian shipbuilder Brodosplit proudly showed off the new sail-powered cruiseship Flying Clipper in Split last week, but there was one glaring absence at the event.
No smiling executives from Star Clippers, the Monaco-based cruise line that ordered the ship, were on hand to take delivery as a dispute rages with the shipbuilder.
Star Clippers told TradeWinds the problem is that the vessel has been completed 20 months too late and it will not accept it under the terms being offered by the shipyard.
