"THE cost of rescuing 52 scientists, passengers and journalists on a scientific tourism voyage to Antarctica could blow out to $2.4 million and has compromised two years of the official Antarctic work program.
The head of Australia’s Antarctic division, Tony Fleming, said negotiations to recover costs were now underway with insurers for the Russian vessel Akademik Shokalskiy and tour organiser the University of NSW.

After returning to Hobart yesterday, tour leader Chris Turney apologised for any inconvenience the rescue had caused."

Der "eingebetttete Reporter" der BBC, Andrew Luck-Baker, hat es nach 4 Wochen geschafft, dies etwas genauer zu erläutern:

"At 14:30 Ship Time (Luck-Baker) – only 90 minutes later – the captain of the vessel said that the ice was starting to close in and, according to Greg Mortimer, they “hit the evacuation button”. However, it took over 4 hours to evacuate, a time that Mortimer agrees was an “excessively long time”. However there was a lack of organisation to supervise and enforce it. A number of us were at the islands for about two hours, having wandered off in small groups with the scientist whose work we were particularly interested in.In the thrilling environment in which we now found ourselves, it was easy to lose track of time."

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the University of New South Wales is a signatory to the sub-charter of the Akademik Shokalskiy ... [T]he fact that the University of New South Wales is a party to the sub-charter places its potential liability in a new light. However, in most legal proceedings, plaintiffs look for the party with the deepest pockets, which, in this case, would be the University of New South Wales.
