                The photos are timed and dated on the afternoon of sale , contract signed but still State property unless all monies paid at signing at the auction. The handhelds were hardly included!

                • Nice margin if they manage to flip it, minus of course the cost of the tugs but nice nevertheless

                  • Wait and see what the price will be after her bottom survey.
                    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                    • Maybe the brokers should have been commissioned to sell her.

                      • my thoughts exactly, it will be interesting to see what she finally goes for.

                        • I'm surprised at how much momentum this story has gained on the various Facebook pages. All contributors seem to think it's the government fault that this 37 year old hard worked ship made such a low price at public auction. Others insist it should have been handed over to whatever backwater port the contributor is from and by magic turned into a museum. Best one was from some dude who asserts that the new ships were a waste of money and the older ones could have been upgraded by Irish yards who do this work all the time.
                          What yards?

                            Maybe the mistake was going back to the same cork based broker to sell the ship. Was there a competative tendering process used to appoint the company tasked with selling the ship in the first instance?

                            To be fair, it was probably a better return for the taxpayer when you consider that the last ship was effectively given to Malta and maintained until they decided to take her. We also put their crew up for a few weeks as well and probably threw in a couple of fuel refills while the learned to operate the ship in Cork harbour

                              why the assumption that the price achieved was the result of some form of error?

                              knackered old warships are worth a pittance, steel is cheap amd these things are an absolute pig to recycle.

                              • It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it , the broker is taking a gamble with the advertised price , it may never reach it . Already they have the cost of the towing from Cork plus whatever berthing fees are incurred if they don't have their own yard /dock . Let's wait and see how much it will cost to bring her back into service and the selling price may turn out being a good deal .
                                Don't spit in my Bouillabaisse .
