OLD FERRY
The 58-year-old ferry Star N is under demolition at Aliaga, Turkey after an exceedingly long career, which started in 1965 with the vessel’s completion by Germany’s Orenstein & Koppel for Norwegian shipowner Otto Thoresen as Viking III for service out of Southampton. The 5,762gt ro-pax, which last operated between Tripoli, Libya and Zarzis, Tunisia at the start of this year, had previously sailed under the names Gabriel Scott, Sagafjord, Sandefjord, Fenno Star, Scandinavia, and Terje Vigen.
