Desert Storm

It has been a year now since QE2 arrived in Dubai.  To date, Nakheel has kept her running, rotating her engines for generating ship's power.  They have drydocked her and cleaned her up, painting her bottom and topsides.  It is unknown whether they repaired her leaking seals in the bow thrusters that prevented their use in her final season.  Plans for sending her to Capetown appear to have stalled.  Now we learn that Dubaiworld and it's various development arms are in trouble.  The fate of QE2 is now more uncertain than ever.
