The Ocean Star, first Mexican-owned cruise ship, lies in Manzanillo with its owners said to be looking for a buyer. The 40-year-old vessel was intended for cruising along the Mexican Pacific. Its market would be primarily Mexicans, especially those who did not qualify for a U.S. visa. Low prices were another allure, since no flights to foreign ports would be necessary. One mishap after another forced a cancelation of this year’s schedule. With 20 million in debts, the owners are not expected to weigh anchor in 2012
