Cruise liner that evicted its passengers is 'placed under arrest'

• The Odyssey cruise ship, operated by Villa Vie Residences, has been impounded in Singapore following a court order secured by a local law firm.
• The vessel arrived in Singapore without any passengers after 203 people were evicted in Cambodia when the operator suspended its round-the-world voyage.
• The legal action is believed to be linked to unpaid debts, including an alleged $500,000 (£371,774) owed to a fuel supplier as operating costs escalated.
• Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority said that the vessel has been “placed under arrest pursuant to a court order”.
• Passengers paid up to $440,000 (£327,161) for cabins on the multi-year voyage, with Villa Vie's chief executive saying that the company plans to file for bankruptcy in the US.
