In early 2018 LEDA was bought by the theatre school "L’école de théâtre Actéon" in Avignon for conversion to a floating performance space with the engine removed, and renamed ACTÉON 900 (so perhaps that is the current name).
Then in June 2018 the vessel was in a repair yard at Arles: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10155933657578999
At the same time the Actéon school was appealing for donors: https://ecole-acteon.fr/blog/appel-a-dons-peniche-theatre.
Then the project seems to disappear until your discovery. Whether something negative was found on inspection, the school's money ran out, or the project became a casualty of Covid, I don't have any idea.

@ Frank Behrends,
Re subject upload.....
Many thanks for the information and attached link.
With the various names, the ship had a busy trading life. When I zoomed in on vessel looking to identify vessel, it appeared the name Zebre was "welded" on the bow...?
Anyway, interesting history. Appreciate the information. Thanks again.
Best regards,
andre
