South Korean operator Seaworld Express Ferry has scrapped a ropax it had hoped to sell for further trading after failing to find a buyer in the secondhand market.
Its 23,900-gt Santa Lucino (built 1996) was beached at a recycling facility in Chattogram, Bangladesh, last week under the name Lucino I.
The Japanese-built ropax spent 15 years operating in the South Korean domestic ferry service until replaced by the 27,400-gt Queen Jenuvia, a Hyundai Mipo-built newbuilding that was delivered at the end of 2020.
