MARIAM 8205694
The "Mariam" delayed its departure on Aug 21, 2010, after Cyprus refused to allow the ship to sail through its waters or to use its ports. It was to have left the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli on Aug 22 bound for Cyprus, the first leg of the trip. Organizers said that they had been negotiating with Turkey and Greece for the use of ports and waters and that they could reach a deal by aug 23. Cyprus’s refusal came after Israel said it would use force against the vessel.
