MATTHEW TT
Sold/Decommissioned
The efforts to sell the 'Matthew' were continuing after eight men were jailed for a total of 129 years on July 4, 2025. The ship, which remained tied up in Passage West, has cost the state over nine million Euro to crew and maintain, with the engines running for almost two years now. A preferred bidder has been identified, but there was an extremely large amount of regulation to adhere to with the Marine surveying office in terms of adhering to that legislation and working through the embassies in Colombia, with the flag station Panama, to ensure to get all the regulatory compliance before the vessel can be disposed of.
