QE2 runs aground ahead of journey to Dubai

  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, November 11 - 2008 at 13:54

Britain's QE2 luxury liner, which is to be turned into a floating hotel in Dubai, temporarily ran aground on its final call at its home port of Southampton, southern England, Tuesday. Tugs were employed to refloat the vessel which had been blown off course by strong winds as it entered the port. The 40-year-old liner is slated to leave Southampton Tuesday evening to sail to Dubai where it is scheduled to arrive on November 26. The QE2 will be handed over to Nakheel, part of Dubai World, to be refurbished before taking up a permanent docking on a berth in Palm Jumeirah.
