Description

January 2023 update - In 2013 she was sold by Woodward to Colombian interests and she has been lying at Barranquilla, Colombia ever since. After her original stationary storage future failed to materialize another company appears to have begun converting her to a dry cargo vessel. All of her deck cargo pipes were removed however the extent of the conversion is unknown. Several years ago she was entirely stripped of paint them repainted with at least a primer coat. As of January 2023 it is believed she remains at Barranquilla awaiting a decision on her future.. Her enormously heavy, ice breaking construction means her hull is still very likely in great shape so she may sail again..
