Hi Jan, yes it is something completely different after Fornaes have renovated their space for a top environmentally friendly scrapping.

You can read more about it here.

Thank you for your kind comments

It remains an interesting way of working Bendt.
And a surprisingly clean operation.
No signs of mud from the ballast tanks or traces of fuel.
Thank you for posting this series.
Best regards, Jan

Yes the next is the melting pot David, so maybe she arise as a new ship, but yes it's always sad to see them end this way.

Thanks for your comments
Best Regards

They certainly are the last remnants, I expect the next photo in the series will be of Nissan cars and razor blades. A sad end nonetheless. Regards David.
