purpose before the opening of Jade Weser Port, Wilhelmshaven new container port. Her sale late<br />
August provoked turmoil in the public opinion which suspected the ship was to be sent for demolition in<br />
India. On September 12, the owner announced the sale process was stopped and that the <strong>com</strong>pany was<br />
considering the future deployment of the vessel, stressing she was only 15 years old and well away from<br />
scrap condition. The German authorities had suspended departure clearance. According to her owner,<br />
the Northern Vitality should proceed to sea trials of her newly repaired main engine before any decision<br />
should be taken concerning her future. On October 12, the Northern Vitality sailed away ; her next<br />
<strong>des</strong>tination would be Varna (Bulgaria). Meanwhile, another ship of the <strong>com</strong>pany, the Northern Dignity, 17<br />
years old, is on her way to demolition, in India.<br />
