On October 28, 2012, a vessel was beached at the renowned shipbreaking yard in Alang, India. This location is famous for its ship dismantling operations, attracting a variety of vessels seeking decommissioning.

This sale marks another chapter in the vessel's lifecycle as it transitions from active service to being dismantled.

Such moves not only help in reducing operational costs for the owners but also play a crucial role in sustainable ship recycling practices.
