A very sad news for the greek shipping world. The mythic Georgios Express(Ex Roi Baudoin) built in 1965 by Cockerill yards in Hokeben, Belgium was sold for scrapping.
The ship sailed firstly under RMT banner on Oostende-Dover and then under ventouris sea lines colors,nearly on all cycladic routes.
After her successful career, Georgios Express was laid-up in 2001, probably to her age and the express samina tragedy on september 26, 2001.
The new came to my ears yesterday from a fan of this ship. According to him, the ship was sold to indian breakers, and although some belgians fans are trying to bring her back in Belgium to convert her into a maritime museum, their chances are probably too small.
