18 nov 2013 - Seismic firm diverts MV Rhosus?

Description:

"Prokoshev claimed to have received then the order to divert the ship to "take a second cargo," whereas its maximum capacity, of 1,900 tons, was already largely exceeded.

But in Beirut, the Lebanese company Cogic Consultants, representing an international company specializing in seismic imaging, was looking to rent the services of a ship to reach Aqaba, Jor-dan. Its owner, Georges Kamar, was a former ministerial advisor who did not wish to answer our questions.

The company wanted to return equipment it had used during onshore oil and gas exploration missions conducted on behalf of the energy ministry, then led by Gebran Bassil. This equipment belonged to the Jordanian company Geophysical Services Center (GSC), which was also contrac-tual to the ministry.

Accused by the journalist Dima Sadek of having "brought the ship to Beirut," Bassil defended himself, through his lawyer's firm, denying having intervened in the choice of the ship."
