After waiting in the waters outside the New Orleans port for about four days, the "CPO Sweden" that rescued six Cayman Islands boaters on 26 July has been turned back to Houston, Texas after having received orders to proceed there in the evenig of Aug 1. The resued men were supposed to disembark from the ship in Houston on 28 July, but the ship got rerouted to New Orleans for dock space reasons. After arriving in the New Orleans area on July 29, the tanker spent about four days off shore waiting for approval to come in which was 
never received. It was hoped the ship could dock in Houston sometime on Aug 3. After that, the men needed to be processed through US Customs and Border Protection and obtain passports from their respective consulates before coming home. The UK and Honduran consulates are aware of the situation and are being kept informed. All six were on the 37-foot fishing vessel ‘Miss Janice’ when it capsized five hours after leaving the Cayman Islands on 17 June.

Six men whose boat sank after leaving the British territory have been found by athe "CPO Sweden" passing through the Caribbean. They were picked up by the tanker den and are en route to Houston. The men were safe and well. They were found floating in the sea on July 26, 2011, just as authorities called off an air and sea search that had covered 4,000 square miles. The men were traveling from the Cayman Islands to Honduras when the "Miss Janice" sank on July 17. On board were four Caymanians and two Hondurans.
