Thank you for sharing these pictures Vlad. It is sad to see ships being demolished like that. I guess this was one of the last vessels with the good old Mitsubishi "bridge" superstructure that was so common in the 70s and early 80s.

It must have been quite an experience being there. I hope you have more pictures to share.

Best regards
Mats

It came to my mind: fair condition, poor condition, any condition...but in the end they all face cutter's torch...

This whole business of visiting ship breaking yards, while interesting beyond my imagination, still filled me with sadness...

Super shot Vlad, & that is a unique view of the upper wing ballast tanks , which seem in fair condition after 32 years of use.
