Hi wogo,

The latest I can find is that she arrived in the Dominican Republic for scrapping. I can't find confirmation whether scrapping has started, but safe to assume it did.

Ola Esmeralda (ex Black Prince) is/was being scrapped at the same yard.

Best Regards,

..and this yard also scrapped the OCEAN JEWEL OF ST PETERSBURG (ex-MIKHAIL SUSLOV), that vessel was completely scrapped by mid-2013.

The same yard that didn't get LYUBOV ORLOVA?

Hello to all of you,

Today I read on MaritimeMatters:

I recently was aboard the palm beach princess and made a whole survey in the ship, the capital problema was in the main engine sulzer which suffered a crank failure in the bedplate of the piston number 9, of course the vessel was reclassified to sail with the two nohabs diesel engine, however i think that the qualification of the engineer team and the delay of an maintenance program was the principal cause of the end of the ship, when the owners only think in money and more money and don not made any investment , is the end of any ship

It gives me hope that the good old "Ilmatar" has not yet been scrapped.

Best regards, wogo.
