I have to confirm that the MV Southsea has arrived at the Smedegaarden ship dismantlers in Esbjerg, Denmark. She was sold for scrap during the week ending 11th March 2005. She left Southampton docks around 10 am last Sunday morning behind the tug "Vitus"(Danish). Southsea was spotted in the Dover area early on Monday morning. She then continued what is the farthest distance from the UK she has ever been, a total of 570 sea miles. I will miss the old girl and hope that a company may buy her and put her to good use.
