On a slow boat to China

This is the story of an incident loaded far-eastern voyage to China. The ship - P&O's Artemis was on it's last main voyage leaving a trail of destruction in it's wake as Mubarek fell in Egypt, Libya erupted and people in Jordan and Oman took to the streets. Not to mention the dreadful tsunami in Japan, which was missed by seven days only or the piracy threat mostly anticipated, which proved longer and more dangerous than anyone had imagined.
