Ferry sent to scrapyard in frame of fleet renewal programme
On Dec 17, the 'GNV Antares' has arrived in Aliaga en route from Durres to be broken up. The decommissioned ferry dropped anchor in pos. 38° 54' N 026° 59' E in front of a site specializing in ship demolition and the disposal of scrap iron and steel. The ferry had already changed flags in recent weeks, switching to the Portuguese flag and the Madeira registry. The 'GNV Antares', built in 1987 by the shipyard NKK in Tsurum, was purchased by the MSC Group in 2021 from P&O Ferries and was initially used by GNV on connections to Sicily, but more recently served the line between Bari and Albania. Its sister ship, the 'GNV Aries', had already been earmarked for scrapping about a year ago. The GNV fleet renewal plan continued in parallel with the arrival of the 'GNV Virgo', from the Chinese shipyard GSI, joining the 'GNV Orion', while the 'GNV Polaris' returned to China for upgrades, involving the addition of 132 cabins.
