Hot off the press...QE2 up for sale?

I have just been reading that the QE2 which was sold to a Dubai based property company part of the state run Dubai World for $100 million maybe put back up for sale to help pay off some of the debts that are currently crippling the country's economy.



Over the course of the year, little of the planned work has been carried out on QE2 to convert the vessel to a luxury hotel. The ship has been re-flagged and has spent some time in dry dock for work on the hull but there is no evidence that
refurbishment has started on the interiors, which, according to announcements made a year ago, were due to be converted into luxury suites and fine dining outlets.



There is a lot of talks happening behind closed doors at the moment and a rescue package has been talked about to sort the debts the country has which is in the reigon of $59 billion as of yet is is not sure if it will be sold but i will keep you all updated.
