Thank you Ralph for your very comprehensive info.
I still believe that some of the "people" would like to purchase these advanced look ship/s as second hand instead scrap; nevertheless that they would run them at slow speed 15-18 knots being fair for their needs. |

jadran, that's the Tirrenia fast craft GUIZZO: http://www.faktaomfartyg.nu/guizzo_1993.htm
(yes, it's in Swedish, but the numbers and pictures speak for themselves). Tirrenia sold a total of six fast craft last year. Three of them went straight for scrap to Aliaga (ARIES, TAURUS and SCATTO). The CAPRICORN was pulled away from the scrapping beach for conversion into a yacht. And now the GUIZZO has arrived for scrap. This leaves only the RONKE (ex-SCORPIO) awaiting an uncertain fate in Greece. If you wonder why these vessels went for scrap so early, the answer is simple: fuel economy. These vessels were major gas guzzlers. |

| Agree, while these were very utilitarian car ferries, they still had that Italian elegance to their lines. |

| Correct, this is the LIA (ex-ROSALIA). IGINIA was found to be still good enough for another season. The other sister SIBARI went to Aliaga a few years ago. |
