This must surely be the end, but who's going to pay for the voyage to the breakers?
It is looking as though it is going to be a joint venture between Middlesbrough Council and Able, as Erimus has indicated there has been a number of proposals to save the vessel but up till now nothing firm.
She will have a lot of Asbestos aboard which will be costly to remove and dispose of, in reality Able are the experts but at present are busy scrapping Oil Platforms which are floated in on a Barge then placed on to a special Jetty whereas scrapping this vessel will require a Drydock or a Beaching.
