Ithaca Reveals Plans to reduce Risk In an effort to thwart a possible terrorist threat along the more conventional routes taken by most vessels out of Dubai, Ithaca has chosen an alternate plan for getting the BW Athena FPSO back into British waters by heading NW out of Dubai across the Saudi Arabia desert.
Although this report can not be independently confirmed, it is believed that the this photo was taken just a few miles short of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Athena will be in the Mediterranean shortly.
The Company neither confirms nor denies knowledge of this plan and reiterates that it will not issue any comments until it is appropriate to do so.
