Description:
This is a very strange name, and the only place where you can find it mentioned online is in Google cache, related to otherwise unavailable report on some marine incident in Korea.
It is also written in large letters on the stern of this fast ferry, that languishes seemingly abandoned at one of bays in Masan area.

Does this indicate that you may have some photos of the vessels from this period? If so, perhaps we should do a piece in CFF.

Interesting to learn that you have sailed on Santa Eleonora, San Frangisk and San Pawl. Was this as a crew or passenger?

Agree this sales ad is IMO 9060089:

After 2011 had changes of owner, still as WOORI:
12/2012 Dae A Express Shipping Co Ltd, Pohang
6/2014 Jangheung Ferry Co Ltd, Jangheung
[then....?]
disclassed KRS 2015, so no longer in their accessible database.

I searched for the info on this ship first when I took the photo, without much success; then, yesterday, I got a hit on some brokerage site that advertised the sale of a fast ferry "laid up in Pohang", the picture resembled this one. Then, I dug deeper and found other photos and data on this vessel, that was supposed to operate on a line between Hopo on Korean mainland and Ulleungdo island in the East Sea in 2011, but failed due to being simply unsuitable for the prevalent weather conditions.
I've been sailing on some of these ships (Santa Eleonora, San Pawl, San Frangisk) and they are perfect for calm seas, but brutal in case of storms.
Previously I have seen this ship laid up in Busan.
The photo of the "Woori" ("Our") from the times when she tried to earn her bread on Hopo - Ulleungdo:

I'd say it's the same ship.

Just to stir the pot, "Meisam" and "Miaad" are fairly common forenames, but only in Iran. Caught up in sanctions?
