Armed crew prevents ship move

Sailors aboard an Argentine navy sailing ship seized in a billion-dollar international debt controversy brandished weapons to block Ghanaian officials from moving the vessel to a less busy dock.

Crewmen on the ARA Libertad showed their rifles to deter Ghanaian officials from boarding the South American ship on Thursday, Kumi Adjei-Sam, corporate affairs manager of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, said.
