Could this be the excuse russia uses to screw syria over??? [/quote] This took place off the UK coast. I'm not an insurance expert, but how could a russian company insure a vessel in UK/EU territory? In this day and age, you cannot just sail where and when you want. [/quote]
Original Message
The UK has made moves to stop a cargo vessel allegedly carrying refurbished Russian-made attack helicopters from completing its journey to Syria.
The MV Alaed had its insurance withdrawn by The Standard Club in London while it was about 50 miles (80.4km) off Scotland's north coast.
Withdrawal of insurance prevents the MV Alaed from sailing until its owner could secure new cover.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the ship was returning to Russia.
It was thought that the vessel had stopped for a time off the Western Isles.
The Russian embassy in London has not yet commented.
