So said on Equasis as well as Jumboship removed those 2 ships from their fleet list.
Sad to know my favourite heavylifters will be scrapped after 28 years of work for Jumboship.

Hello Denis both were sold for breaking-up at Alang, India.

No worries,they have ordered new one a week ago with Brodosplit shipyard in Split,Croatia.

I can understand you, Denis. I do also really like Jumbo Challenger and Fairmast. But thats life i guess. Recykling is good!
But these vessels could have... Lived a bit longer.

[Dеnis]

Indeed they could. Say Storman Asia & Ocean Team, thank God, still sailing after changing several owners and names.
But those who examined the 2 Jumbos know better... Interesting, when they will arrive (or arrived) at the breakers?

Regards,
Denis

Both delivered Alang in June, I think.

FAIRMAST had the indignity of being briefly renamed FAIRY.
