Fred Olsen Cruise Lines is standing up for its environmental performance after a Norwegian environmental group raised questions about the disposal of an elderly cruiseship.
The Norwegian-controlled, UK-based passengership owner sold the 28,600-gt sisterships Black Watch (built 1972) and Boudicca (built 1973) last year for use in an unidentified accommodation project.
TradeWinds reported on 11 June that Norwegian environmental organisation Bellona had called for greater transparency after one of the ships, the Boudicca, subsequently turned up at a Turkish scrapping facility.
