As part of its announced fleet renovation plan, the ageing ferry GNV ANTARES has left the MSC-controlled ferry company.
The vessel departed the port of Durrës in Albania and arrived this week in Turkey. She is currently anchored off Aliaga, where dismantling will take place.
In recent months, the ferry had already changed flag, switching from Italian to Portuguese, under the Madeira registry.
GNV ANTARES was purchased by the MSC Group in 2021 from P&O Ferries. She was built in 1987 by Japanese shipyard NKK in Tsurumi.
