A crew member of the Cambodian-registered bulk carrier Maystar looks for his identity documents in a Disney folder after arriving at the Armed Forces of Malta Maritime Squadron base in Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour December 1, 2008. The Indian and Bangladeshi crew of the ship, carrying a cargo of wood, were forced to abandon ship twenty-six miles off Malta when it started taking on water and began to list heavily to one side. All the 16-man crew were safe and accounted for. REUTERS/Darrin Zammit Lupi (MALTA)
