Fire damaged ferry to be broken up
The 'GNV Azzurra' was not deemed worth an econimical repair after the engine room fire on June 19 and has been sold to breakers. The ferry will be towed from Genova to a scrapyard in Aliaga at the end of October.
Ferry replaced by another GNV ship after fire
The 'GNV Azzurra' departed from the ASI dock in Porto Torres on the afternoon of June 24 and was towed by a tug of the Italian Navy to the port of Genoa, where it was to be transferred to a shipyard for repairs and comprehensive structural refurbishments. On June 21, the ferry 'GNV Altair' (IMO: 9222534) took over the service between Porto Torres and Genoa, which had to be suspended after the fire on the 'GNV Azzurra'. The 'GNV Altair', which arrived on the morning at the west pier of the Porto Torres seaport, provided service to Genoa while the repairs were carried out. The Porto Torres Coastguard has meanwhile launched an administrative investigation into the fire, which occurred approximately 40 nautical miles off Porto Torres in international waters under the jurisdiction of the French SAR zone. The aim of the investigation was to reconstruct the incident and determine the cause of the fire.
