Much has happened from the
moment she arrived in Malaysia both NCL and Star Cruises never had any
intention of re-instating her, be it as a cruise ship or as a static casino
hotel, as was reported by Star Cruises. They always intended to have her
scrapped. By transferring her from Europe to Asia,
Greenpeace and 12 other international organisation
declared that Star cruises broke maritime law in relation to the asbestos laws,
thus these organisation became actively involved, the result being that the
Bangladeshi breaker returned the ship to Star, who resold her to Bridgend
Sipping/Haryana Steel and Indian breaker. Later she was
transferred to Priya Blue breakers yard and partially and illegally beached on
August 15, 2006, and now she has been sadly scrapped!

there are some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private

there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding the

be so kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com

seen a multitude of my own photographs on other sites, yet these individuals
either refuse to provide credit or remove them when asked, knowing full well
that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show
these charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where
credit is due!
