Zhichuan International Shipping is sending one of the rarest types of commercial ships to South Asia for recycling.
The final demolition destination of the Chinese shipowner’s 300-teu, 392-passenger container-passenger ship Xiang Xue Lan (built 1996) leaves only six of this hybrid type of vessel still operating worldwide.
On Thursday, the ship was heading up the Malacca Strait on its final voyage as the Comoros-flagged Xiang under the management of last-voyage delivery company Partagas Maritime.
