Thanks for the link to my comment Clive. Haha, if only I could have remembered, myself!
As of 14/12/2021, there was no movement, per se.
However a Marpol road tanker (for waste oil) has been alongside her, and a 'permanent' gangway and guarding watchkeepers are evident.
This may be unconnected to her alleged sale, and may be due to the ship's movement to an 'insecure' port quay which is not part of AstiCan's private property.
It may also be indicative of a new owner. We will see.
Regards, Rick

@ Ralph, yes indeed. I have not seen this number of expedition ships idle, here, before.
Pic of Greg Mortimer coming up soon.
