Beached at Aliaga Towed by MSC Dragon 29.07.25

Ferry under tow to breakers in Aliaga

The 'La Superba' was towed out of the port of Palermo on the morning of July 23,on its final voyage in the direction of Aliaga by the tug 'MSC Dragon' (IMO: 9240952) where it will be demolished following the extensive damage caused by the fire that occurred on the night of Jan 14, 2023 at the time of departure from Palermo in the direction of Naples. The ship was due to arrive in Aliaga on July 28. The Port Authority of tPalermo had recently published the company's application dated July 7, seeking the authorization for the vessel's voluntary demolition. Any comments regarding the application can be submitted by the first week of September. Following the fire, the intention of the owner company GNV was to declare the ferry a "constructive total loss," a step that would then allow ownership to be transferred to the insurance company (SIAT) that had provided hull and engine coverage, to manage its end-of-life. For a time, the Genoese ferry company seemed intent on evaluating srepairing the vessel, but the estimated costs evidently made this option unviable.
