| The Dream is over

THE unnamed and barely assembled sister ship of Global Dream is being sold for scrap.

Set to be one of the largest cruise ships in the world, the 9,000-passenger vessel has only had her lower hull constructed.

Administrator Christoph Morgen announced at a recent press conference proceedings are now underway to resell some of the equipment and engines, while the hull will be disposed of at scrap price.

MV Werften, which recently escaped the same fate as the ship (CW 15 Jun) was constructing her.

Meanwhile, the fate of the almost-completed Global is unknown, with the most genuine interest coming from Swedish party Stena, which reportedly withdrew its consideration last month.
