What future for the ex Finnjet ?

Last saturaday, the DA VINCI (former Finnjet) sailed from Genova bound for scrappyard.

The ship was surpringly sold due too high conversion cost and Club Cruises financial difficulties.

By the way, Club cruise stopped its branch operating the Van Gogh

Later on, it was reported the ship was bound for red sea and to be used on Saoudi Arabi-Egypt line which is of course utopic.

The ship was in Jeddah port yesterday and it seems that now she is heading to Alang, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

The DA VINCI was delivered in 1977, by the time she was the biggest and the fastest ferry in service.
