Worldwide Dive and Sail to assist in Philippines relief effort

Published

on

Liveaboard Tour operator Worldwide Dive and Sail are to assist in the Philippines relief effort following the devastation that Typhoon Haiyan caused to the country.

Currently in Cebu, the crew of P. Siren are getting ready to set sail for the islands of Malapascua and Leyte with 15 tonnes of food and water for residents affected by the typhoon.

Since Haiyan hit, the death toll has continued to rise and many people have been left without shelter, food or water. There are a number of organisations arranging relief to the affected areas including Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) and the Philippines Red Cross.

Worldwide Dive and Sail’s Marketing Manager Susie Erbe had this to say: “Having been through the devastation of the 2004 Tsunami that affected many countries in Asia, everyone here at Siren Fleet knows that what the Philippines needs right now is your continuing tourism! Tourist dollars are relied upon to maintain the country’s infrastructure, so if you were planning to visit the Philippines, whether for diving, adventure activities or a beach holiday – please remember that there are many places that are still operating “business as usual”. Encourage your friends to visit also and show a united support for the Filipinos.”

“To show our commitment to continued tourism in the Philippines, Siren Fleet will donate 50% of the trip price to the above mentioned organisations, for all remaining berths booked on the Philippine Siren and P. Siren for sailings between now and 31st January 2014. But whether you choose a Siren Fleet trip or not – get yourself to the Philippines!

Aqualung Group Enters Court-Supervised Reorganization Process

Published

Aqualung Group has announced that two of its French entities have entered into redressement judiciaire, a legal reorganization process under French law designed to enable companies to continue operations while restructuring. This step, initiated last week, is part of a broader effort by the company to stabilize operations and transition to new ownership.

The group emphasized that this is not a liquidation process (liquidation judiciaire), but a court-managed effort aimed at securing long-term viability and continuity.

“All entities within the Aqualung Group, including those currently under reorganization, continue to operate and serve customers,” the company said in a statement. “While we temporarily face some cash flow challenges, our teams remain fully mobilized to minimize disruptions.”

Aqualung assured stakeholders that it remains committed to transparency and will provide updates as the legal process progresses, particularly in regard to timing and future developments.

The company thanked customers and partners for their continued trust and support during this transitional period.

Aqualung Group, a long-standing name in the dive and watersports equipment industry, is working toward a resolution that will allow it to emerge from the reorganization with a more stable foundation under new ownership.
