COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
I had it still posted as "tugs" but admin changed this to "scrapyard ships."
Indeed the vessel's old engine was removed but at least the hull will be re-used. I am not sure about superstructure though.
Cheers, Dirk

While scrapping is certainly a possibility, there's a chance she could just be undergoing an engine or superstructure replacement.
