Privilege Yard

Carl’s photo @ 157 is actually from 2012 or at the height of her glory.
You might remember post #40 here was taken in late April 2014… the workers had at this time revolted and the canvas had already begun to tatter.

I spoke with the Port Authority President last month. He has no explanation, as the Google image was a surprise to him also.

Privilege One P430, the ‘carcass’ or ‘sarcophagus’ as it is known locally, was ordered to be removed by June 30 2024. The owner, Marine Goddess Srl. and its Serian/Nigerian owner has yet to commence the 6-month process to evacuate the vessel. It will be interesting to see her fate that may be revealed in the next 3 months. This might involve a torch.

Marine Goddess purchased the vessel in 2018 and has not spent a dime in storage of repair since then.
In 2021 the owner of the Shipyard pumped, drilled, and drained the ship which had been open to the elements since 2013.
All ports and hatches were sealed and several tons of rust were scraped and removed from the flaking decks.
That has been the only work on the vessel in over a decade.

This vessel will never see the water and will ROT exactly where it sits.

The actual owner of the P430 (in-build) purchased the 85m Blohm + Voss 'Grand Ocean' (ex- Golden Odyssey) in 2018, and it too has sat on the hard ground (Spanopoulos, Perama) barely attended to for 6yrs.
Within a couple months he also bought a 50m Miss Tor another project. He completed the re-fit on the Miss Tor and has been using form his personal pleasurer.

The owner and the Miss Tor ran afoul in late July while anchored off of Mykonos:
