An engine room fire in November left Le Boréal without power near Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands.
Royal Air Force search and rescue teams stationed at the Falklands had helped evacuate the passengers. No injuries were reported, but the ship had been in danger of grounding, according to the British Ministry of Defence. Le Boréal subsequently was assisted alongside to Port Stanley by two Dutch tugs.
The ship had been on an Antarctica cruise.
Last word from Ponant, back in November, was that repairs likely would be carried out in a nearby port such as Punta Arenas, Valparaíso or Montevideo.
That was four weeks ago.
