MARCO POLO showing destination Dubai when she left here (Falmouth) last night (22nd). So....not heading to Aliaga after all. Maybe onward to a breaker's yard further east? Alang, Chittagong maybe?

Reference the questions about the above vessel, as a resident of Falmouth I can confirm that Kuzma Minin remains at anchor in Carrick Roads, Falmouth, as I write. She still carries her original name and Russian registry - the only change being that the Polar  Bear emblem was painted out on her funnel a while ago (see the picture I posted on this site on 26th March).
