ABU DHABI // A ship that ran aground in Ajman over a month ago has begun to attract the attention of residents and amateur photographers.
Sea Blue became stranded on the Ajman corniche when it ran into trouble in rough seas. While the Ajman population is used to vessels being beached during the winter season, stranded vessels are usually tugged away in a matter of days. Sea Blue is believed to be the ship stranded for the longest in the emirate's recent memory, the Arabic-language newspaper Al Ittihad reported on Tuesday.
It is unclear, however, whose responsibility removing the ship is. First Lt Salem Al Zaabi, head of media and public relations at the civil defence department in Ajman, said his organisation was neither responsible nor has the means for tugging boats away from shore.
"It is the ship owner's responsibility to do that, in conjunction with the Sharjah Coastguard," he said.
A source at the Coastguard denied they have anything to do with the stranded ship.

Q&A with Dash Berlin
Welcome back. What was it like to return to RAK and to play for fans out here again?
It’s an amazing feeling to be back in the passionate UAE again. Seeing the fans having a great time that is what it’s all about.
You're currently touring the globe as part of your Legends of the Feels Tour. How important is it to you to include the Middle East in the schedule?
The tour is doing really well and is extensive and intensive at the same time travelling all over the globe. My Middle Eastern fans are very dear to me, it’s good to be back.
You mix tracks that people know and love, but you also have a visually impressive set too (graphics etc). Is that the secret recipe to Dash Berlin's live gigs?
People enjoying the combination of the music and visuals are the key factor in the success of the Legends Of The Feel tour 2018.
Have you had some time to explore Ras al Khaimah too? If so, what have you been up to?
Coming fresh out of Las Vegas where I continue my 7th annual year DJ residency at Marquee, I decided it was a perfect moment to catch some sun rays and enjoy the warm hospitality of Bab Al Bahr.
