Sticken catamaran to be broken up in Dénia

A Baleària high speed ferry that ran aground last month at the port of Dénia is to be broken up on site, after authorities ruled out refloating the stricken vessel.

Work has been ongoing since the Pinar del Río struck the breakwater on the 16th August to determine if the catamaran could be refloated.

However the location of the ship, and damage sustained since the accident meant it was too difficult to refloat her.

A crane was spotted lifting equipment from the ship in the last few days, and she will be broken up in situ in the coming months.
