Again reported (by GMS Inc) to have been sold for scrap to Alang, we'll see. She's currently heading for Madagascar.

Best regards,

She was reported to have been sold for scrap to Alang, India in September 2014 but apparently the deal fell through.

Cheers,

More important, data says "dead", even though vessel clearly still active...

No real hair-splitting, if a vessel has a ramp it tends to be classed as a ro-ro. If dominant function was the major criterion, then the Atlantic Conveyor type would be container ships, but these are classed as ro-ros, as are the Grimaldi multipurpose vessels. Personally I have always thought there should be a separate category for this type of dual-purpose ro-ro/container vessel.

One can split hairs about where such combi-ships should be categorised. The vast majority of photos on here of this ship are in "general cargo" (the better choice, in my view , since that appears to be the dominant function). But at least they would be better all in the same place.

Category C/RO/CON built as YEVGENIY MAVINSKIY

Warnowwerft Lo-Ro 18 standard type

incorrect category - it should be ro-ro

Gorgeous ship...
