MV Gail to be scrapped
PPL has no use for her anymore. We don't even think she could make a good museum.
MV Gail to embark on her last voyage next month
MV Gail will be embarking on her last voyage next month. She has never been popular, and her latest passenger list proves it: Only one passenger sailed on her last voyage. She will be having one final farewell voyage to say goodbye to PPL. It isn't certain if she is going to be scrapped or turned into a museum.

MV Atlantic to be going out of service in 2014
MV Atlantic is going to be going out of service in 2014. This was our first ship, and she was really undersized. We even used her as a tugboat a few times. However, she is outdated and we want to clear the way for more modern ships. It is unknown if she will be scrapped or sold. We would love for her to become a floating hotel or restaurant, but that may not happen.

PPL starting to come up with unique ideas for the cruise industry
We have started to come up with unique ideas that no one else has. We already ordered a submersible cruise ship from MCamachoShipyards. and we have plans for a heli-ship. We want people to have a unique experience that they can't get anywhere else.
PPL Strikes a Deal with MCamachoShipyards.
We ordered three ships from them!
MV Atlantic missing
The ship was planned to dock a few days ago. Last reported position was close to land. A small raft with a single body was found.
The MV Seaway is safe!
The Seaway made it back to land and has been repaired. She only received minor damage from the crash, but the speed of the Queen Anne II pushed the Seaway onto her side.
The MV Seaway is back on an even keel,
and she is proceeding to new york where she will be repaired.

MV Luxury is being towed
The small MV Atlantic is towing the MV Luxury to land. The storm is still at full force. 55 foot waves, 51 MPH winds.
MV Luxury found, listing to starboard.
The captain sent me a message that said that a huge wave sent the ship back onto an even keel. We lost contact with her yesterday. After an extensive search, we found her. She is listing to starboard, poor visibility. All passengers are still aboard because it is not safe to lower the lifeboats.
Look closely in this photo. You can see a faint outline of her.

MV Superfast has run aground.
The captain said a passenger was distracting him, and when he turned to check the radar, their was land not 2 miles ahead. With the ship traveling at 130 knots, their was no way he could make the turn. He was able to turn the ship slightly, but the bow plowed into the shore. Using the stern thrusters, he was able to turn the ship until the bow was facing the water, but now the stern was on land. The bow was also above the water, even at high tide. Salvage operations expected to start soon.
