GNV ATLAS arrives at anchorage off Turkish shipbreaking beach
FerryGNV’s GNV ATLAS arrived at the anchorage off the shipbreaking beach at Aliaga, Türkiye, on 7 November. The destination suggests that the 1990-built RoPax ferry may have been sold for recycling, although GNV has yet to confirm a sale.
If confirmed, GNV ATLAS would be the second vessel GNV has sent to Türkiye for recycling within a month. In October, the company sent the 1981-built RoPax ferry GNV AZZURRA to Aliaga for recycling.
GNV ATLAS joined the GNV fleet through the acquisition of SNAV in 2017. The 33,336 GT ferry has capacity for 1,600 passengers and 1,470 lane metres. It was originally delivered as OLAU BRITANNIA by Germany’s Schichau Seebeckswerft to Olau Line for service between Sheerness (UK) and Vlissingen (the Netherlands).
