Cheers,

approx £40,000 per week seems a awful lot,to pay for a week,I can hire the QE2 for 3 weeks for a fraction of that, and be served hand and foot, {-)

That's nothing!

With the current economic recession, loads of cargo ships are parked around the Far East waiting for better days. I understand it used to cost £100,000 or more per day to lease a supertanker, but you can get one at the moment for £3000 per day (which is probably cost price for the crew - fuel extra)

Think of the parties you could host inside the tanks....
