Post by: krytsch on September 05, 2011, 17:11:13: Yes, that's right!

In times of Google Translate I thought there is a chance for everybody to understand.

It's one of my favourite ships ... no discos, no fancy restaurants - just a ferry!

Post by: Stuart2007 on September 05, 2011, 17:31:12: Going for scrap? After all the work that was done to it to make it seaworthy again?

A shame, she was one of my favourites at Dover. The big Emperor.

And she passed through the Dover straits one last time... in a shroud of fog...

Post by: Sunseekeringo on September 06, 2011, 09:51:17: ItÂ´s always a shame to give ships to shipbreakers...but a new vessel will be born...and there are still some ferrys without any discos or something like that on board.

Cheer up!!!

Plus the contraction of the ferry market.

But the biggest killer of mid life ships has to be the mooring charges. The owner likely couldn't justify the cost of mooring.
