Cruise industry newcomer Haimark Line has filed for bankruptcy just months after beginning operations, USA Today reported today. "Any disruptions in service will be announced if and when they occur during this period of reorganization," the line said in the statement. Initially offering voyages along the Eastern USA and into the Great Lakes, Haimark had a troubled start this summer. It's only ship, the 210-passenger Saint Laurent, crashed into a lock while navigating the St. Lawrence Seaway just weeks after its May 30 debut. In its statement, Haimark blamed the accident for the bankruptcy filing, citing insurance issues that remain unresolved. The line charters the Saint Laurent from Clipper Cruises, which owns the vessel.
