Chiliburn Posted December 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Apparently they couldn’t get insurance and the certification. I read because it had a engine . Best place for it. Edited December 21, 2020 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinbadThePorter Posted December 21, 2020 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Sailed on her twice with P&O. Not a great ship. To tell the truth, barely adequate, but she did the job. She was often the only choice out of Brisbane. The scrapyard is the eventual fate of all ships that stay afloat. It's either that or the bottom of the ocean. Just remember that her steel will now go into bridges, buildings or even new ships. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then butchered to become Pacific Dawn. Where is the tiger? We had 30 days on Regal, Sept O7, Last trip she had, LA to Sydney.

Rare Essiesmom Posted December 24, 2020 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2020 She is sitting in Colon right now, awaiting transit through the Panama Canal. Unfortunately, no canal webcams are working. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaDog-46 Posted December 25, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted December 25, 2020 After bunkering alongside at Colon - she has returned to the anchorage. If going to Alang - Satoshi will go across the Atlantic then via Cape of Good Hope to India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
