The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency has seen fit to issue an official statement on the rumored cannibal rat-infested ghost ship that may or may not be headed toward Britain:

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has received no sightings of the former Soviet cruise ship 'Lyubov Orlova' since April last year and there is no evidence to suggest it is still afloat.
