Ukrainian ship transformed into a casino

Ukrainian shipyard sold the Varyag to be transformed into a floating casino in China.

The Varyag is 300-metre (300-yard) long.

On Sunday during a storm the Varyag, which has no engine or rudder, broke away from its towropes.

The skeleton of a giant former-Soviet aircraft carrier being dragged to China is drifting in the Aegean Sea for a second day.

One tugboat managed to re-attach itself to the ship later in the day but a Greek marine ministry official said high winds were severly-hampering efforts by two other tugs to secure the ship.
