Not according to this arrival and port calls schedule. You may also note the big hole in the schedule from the end of April through July. I suspect this was the intended time for the drydock work.

This gives you all the OT 8 comps up to 2005. I'm missing 3 issues of Freewinds
Magazine but have all the rest of them. I'll try to get an update.

Managed to get some more information after calling the newspaper today.

Turns out the SXM daily herald has a co-op agreement with the Amigoe in Curacao and that is where the original article came from. But its in dutch.


Amigoe.com


The article is largely the same but this part is interesting

Inmiddels is het schip geïsoleerd en verzegeld. Freewinds is zelf verantwoordelijk voor het eigen personeel, maar CDM-werknemers komen het schip niet meer op en werken ook niet aan de romp voordat alle onderzoeken afgerond zijn en het personeel geen gezondheidsrisico’s meer loopt. Rhuggenaath wil niet vooruitlopen op eventuele sancties en gevolgen voor de relatie met het schip van de scientologykerk, dat het eiland en Bonaire al twintig jaar als thuishaven gebruikt.

pretty much saying that a change in relations is expected between the government and the freewinds.. maybe a sanction..
Edit: sorry it actually says that... Rhuggenaath doesn't want to make any predictions on sanctions and relation changes..

Here's another article but you need to register to read the whole thing..

Tijd dringt voor Freewinds

WILLEMSTAD — Op dit moment gebeurt er niets op het cruiseschip Freewinds in het droogdok. Als het aan CDM ligt, mag er op het schip worden gewerkt mits men voldoet aan de geldende procedures. Dat is tot nu toe niet het geval.

Mkay, this has been talked to death now. People, spread out and GET TO WORK. We've gotten a definite win against the Cancerous Midget and his Failboat, but now it's actually turning to his FAVOR cause we've turned the discussion of it into a mental circlejerk. Get to work, turn this fail into an even more epic fail for them.

There's a number of target audiences. With a complete list of service completions, we *could* spam the individuals with the information, and encourage them to see their doctors and talk to their lawyers.

We could also contact asbestos lawyers and hope they'll look up the service completion lists and find people to sign on to a lawsuit.

Either of these 'ought' to work, as we're alerting people that, for a little work, they can get filthy rich.

The best strategy, however, would be to actually do all the legwork FOR the lawyers. Get them the service-list completions. Get them the information on the company that owns/operates the Freewinds. Get them information on jurisdiction. Point out potential witnesses to them. The less work they have to do, and the more solid the case sounds, the more likely they'll pursue it.

It does kinda suck to do this much work just to hand some lawyer *millions* of dollars. But our goal isn't to get rich, our goal is to bring about justice.

A Mesothelioma Lawyer That Has Won More Verdicts Than Most Others

looks like these guys specialize in asbestos suits, perhaps contacting them is a place to start? Not trying to promote any one lawyer, just happened to come across these guys

EDIT: deleting my post. Short answer: write to the government. I don't want to give scienos any tipoffs as to who I contacted.

Looks like CoS is squashing the PR best they can.

Not that they can undo whats done, but going for the clean-up the evidence approach ASAFP.

Who is teh cleaner corp?.

Special team strips Freewinds of asbestos

WILLEMSTAD – A special team from the United States is working on removing the asbestos from the cruise ship Freewinds. The team is being supervised by an independent bureau from the Netherlands.

Head of Environmental Service, Tico Ras confirms the above, but doesn’t say much. The seriousness of asbestos being released during work is according to him ‘a matter of interpretation’. He nevertheless admits that readings are constantly being done that indicate the amount of asbestos, but that he does not know what the results of the readings are, and that he is busy finishing up a report.

It is in any case safe around the ship in the dry-dock. The Environmental Service is also supervising the removing of the asbestos and is making sure that this is done according to the rules. The asbestos is taken to the landfill of Selikor that has a special dump place for this.

Freewinds promised last week to give an official declaration, which they didn’t. Harbour captain Ludwig Alpes is now referring everybody to the dock company (CDM) for comments. PR-director Karin Pouw of Scientology in Los Angeles gave a reaction on the internet: “The Freewinds on a regular basis checks the air quality on board of the ship and always meets the American standards. Inspections on April 15 and 28 confirm that the air quality is safe, in accordance with the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and US Clean Air Act.”

The Freewinds is undergoing a complete touchup in the dry dock. All the cabins and other accommodations are being upgraded. To comply with the tight maritime rules that become effective in 2010, also the navigation- and safety equipment is being replaced. “The true and accurate story is that the Freewinds is being restored to better than new.” The restoration is on schedule.

CDM-director Frank Esser indicated last week that the ship had till yesterday to be in dry-docking. Aside from the disputable exceeding of the asbestos standards in the air, the CDM–director blamed the Freewinds for not complying with the different procedures. A ship in dry-dock that is going to work on asbestos is required to do this with qualified people.
