Thanks a lot, Juan! Obviously I must have missed something... As I just read, her new name will probably be MED STAR. Astonishing... that would absolutely be a tragic name, as two RoPax vessels (!) with that name have suffered serious fires onboard lately...

Anyway, if we see the ship sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar in the future, I'm already looking for your nice pics from Algericas. ;)

Cheers
