Unusual Boat Scouts Around Anse La Mouche

 

The ‘Zarko’ off the coast of Anse La Mouche this week

An unusual vessel showed up around coast of Anse La Mouche early this week. Looking like a huge landing craft, it went around the bay as if it was scouting the water for the right passage. Its size can be estimated by the fact that it dwarfed the little island off the coast there.

The Port Authority has identified it as the ‘Zarko’, coming from the United Arab Emirates. The official could not confirm if the owner was Sheikh Khalifa or not but said that it was actually a helicopter platform.

So what is the Sheikh up to this time? Actually, Khalifa is rumoured to be in Seychelles this week, with two planes as well as his yacht, a $485 million purchase. No wonder President Michel cannot refuse him anything!
