We are deeply saddened and shattered by the recent unfortunate occurrence. From the onset all our paperwork, licences and other formalities have been in perfect order in keeping with every govt and local regulatory requirement including our maintenance procedures. In order to perfectly follow the safety protocol the Floatel was scheduled to be moved away from its location to be docked at Mazgaon on 26.5.18. Upon Receiving the ominous weather and sea forecast the vessle was being readied to set sail for the docks in fact a day prior to the original date of the 26th. The floatel was not functional nor open to any patrons when the incident occurred. Essentially the tumultuous undercurrent dislodged our anchor causing the vessel to drift and collide with bedrock creating ominous damage . As a result the vessel tilted and partly sank . No member of the crew was injured and were all in ferried to safety way prior to the above and even before the first assistance from the Coast guard team arrived . Detailed investigations in regard to the exact extent of damage and vessel salvage are underway. The avior is a lease vessle on which our brand the Ark deck bar is being run. Our Brand, F&B and management operations on board have no connect in any form with any matters pertaining to insurance and claims structure of and for the owner of the ship. We Hope to resolve all the investigative and salvage matters at the earliest
🙏
