ship which was on an incorrect course two miles off the northwestern reef.

A Harbour Radio spokesman said that just before 11 a.m. yesterday morning the ship, which was tracked on radar surveillance, was en route from New Orleans to St. Petersburg, Russia when it went off course near Bermuda.

Harbour Radio assisted by setting the ship on the correct route.

The spokesman also reported that the cruise ship Statendam has been diverted to Bermuda this morning to discharge a male passenger suffering from a heart condition.

The ship, en route from Europe to Florida, is due in Five Fathom Hole at 6.30 a.m today.

Harbour Radio also reported it was investigating two urgent marine alert signals. One came 355 miles northeast of Bermuda and the other came 300 northwest of the Island.
