Description:

A surprise departure an hour ago (1700 hrs 25/11/2016) from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Light ship and lifting into the Atlantic swell.

Repairs must have been completed - or sufficient to proceed - by onboard engineers & electrician.

Unaccompanied by tugs and is currently slow steaming at under 9 knots (for now) with destination Besiktas, Turkey.

An unusual destination as it is in central Istanbul, and, for example, nowhere near the breakers at Aliaga - even if the vessel could fit.
Does she have further life, I wonder?

Built in 1999 by Kvaerner Warnow Werft, Warnemunde, Germany (016)
31,333 g.t., 37,845 dwt. & 2,902 teu, as:
‘P&O Nedlloyd Marseille’ to 2006 &
‘Maersk Patras’ since.

Maersk Patras departed Besiktas shipyard, Turkey on 7 March 2017, arrived at Suez Container Container Terminal,Port Said, Egypt on 12 March, sailed the same day and is currently anchored off Nouakchott, Mauritania.
Vessel would appear to have been repaired and now in service. But is she back on the same West African service, or sold for demolition?
The questions continue.

13/02/2017, "Maersk Patras" is still alongside at the Besiktas shipyard. Does anyone have any news of her future?

She is too young for demolition.I hope she will be in service after repair.
