Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Koole-32

16 years after the grounding of the Panamanian-flagged ferry “Assalama” (IMO 6712631), while leaving the port of Tarfaya on April 30, 2008, the removal and scrapping work on the ship, which stoically resisted the storms and inclement weather during all this time, was in an advanced state. The work involved a pontoon equipped with a crane and assisted by the “Koole 32”. The ferry, due to strong prevailing winds and the narrowness of the entrance, had allided with the breakwater of the port during the departure maneuver. On board, 114 passengers and several vehicles, and then ran aground in shallow waters. It was declared a total loss. Since then, it has been a tourist attraction in the area.
