Indian ship recyclers are set to scrap a cruiseship that German operator Phoenix Reisen sold to Egypt’s Pickalbatros Hotel chain last September for conversion into a floating resort.
The sale for recycling of the 28,500-gt Albatros (built 1973) brings the number of cruiseships scrapped as a result of the pandemic to 25, with the total volume of tonnage removed from the market now breaching the 1m gt mark.
