ARA Libertad (Q-2) is a steel hulled, full rigged, class "A"[2][3] sailing ship which serves as a school vessel in the Argentine Navy. One of the largest[7] and fastest tall ships in the world,[8][9] holder of several speed records,[3] she was designed and built in the 1950s by the Río Santiago Shipyard, Ensenada, Argentina.[4] Her maiden voyage was in 1961, and she continues to be a training ship with yearly instruction trips for the graduating naval cadets as well as a traveling goodwill ambassador,[8][10] having covered more than 800,000 nautical miles (1,500,000 km) across all seas, visited about 500 ports in more than 60 countries,[11] and trained more than 11,000 navy graduates.[5]

حادثة غانا

In early October 2012 the vessel was impounded in the port of تما، غانا, by a court ruling in favour of NML Capital, a subsidiary of Cayman Islands hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation, which claimed that it was owed US$370m (£233m) as a consequence of Argentina's debt defaults of 2002,[12] and was seeking payment of $20m for release of the vessel.[13] NML was not originally a creditor, but bought the debt for "pennies on the dollar" according to Forbes.[14] Argentina's foreign ministry condemned the move, claiming it as "a stunt" pulled by "vulture funds, who are not subject to the laws of any jurisdiction".[15][16][17]

On 25 October 2012 most of the ship's crew returned to Argentina, leaving the captain and 43 crew members with the ship in Ghana.[18]

On 15 December 2012 the UN International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ruled unanimously that the ship had immunity as a military vessel, and ordered that "Ghana should forthwith and unconditionally release the frigate ARA Libertad", and report to the Tribunal on compliance by 22 December.[12][19] Libertad was released from Tema on 19 December. She arrived on 9 January 2013 to the port of Mar del Plata, where the ship got an enthusiastic homecoming.[20] Following the International Tribunal ruling, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority sued NML Capital for damages of least US$7.6 million related to the Libertad's impoundment.[21] The Supreme Court of Ghana ruled in June 2013 that the 77-day impoundment was "unjustified, and could have endangered the security of Ghana by triggering a diplomatic conflict."[22]
