ASTORIA
Scrapped
On July 4 at around 7 p.m. the 'Astora' arrived at her last destination ever after a journey of more than 24 hours, being towed by the 'ÄMultratug 20', 'Multratug 13' and 'Multratug 1'.. The ship was towed from Rotterdam to Ghent and will be dismantled at the recycling yard Galloo, which has years of experience in dismantling, depollution and recycling of scrapped ships. The and will be good for more than 12,000 tons of material, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, glass and plastics. Galloo will recycle more than 97% into renewable raw materials. The demolition will take about 12 months. First, all decks above the waterline will be dismantled, after which the ship will be pulled onto dry land on a specially designed slipway. ‘The entire process is specialist work, not only because of the hazardous substances, but also because of the stability of the wreck during the total processing time. The scrap will be transported by barge to other Galloo locations in Europe. Report with photos: https://www.schuttevaer.nl/nieuws/actueel/2025/07/04/cruiseschip-galloo-aankomen-op-final-destination/
