No asbestos fibres present in the air
The Brodosplit shipyard said on Aug 4 that an authorised professional service had conducted air testing aboard the 'Moby Drea' as part of preparatory works for the reconstruction of areas containing asbestos materials. The results showed there were no asbestos fibres present in the air.
Asbestos to be removed under strict conditions
On July 28, the 'Moby Drea' has arrived at Brodosplit in Split en route from Genoa, and after 350 tons of asbestos found in the passenger cabin partition walls have been removed, it will sail towards a repair shipyard in Greece. During the removal of the passenger cabin partition walls from the ferry, the employees will have to work under strict conditions, almost like in quarantine. Every day, they will put on special disposable suits, special masks and gloves, and before they even begin the demanding and potentially dangerous work, as well as during the work, the concentration of hazardous particles will be measured. The panels are filled with asbestos, which amounts to about 350 tons. Afterthe removal, the panels will be wrapped in special foil and stacked on pallets, and then an authorized company will transport them by truck. They will be stored in special cassettes, or concrete boxes, after collection. The work in the shipyard will last two months.
Ferry under tow to Split
The 'Moby Drea' has left the port of Genoa on July 18, 2025, being towed by the tug 'Sea Dream' (IMO: 9560259), but not headed to Aliaga, but instead bound to Split with an ETA as of July 26. It is currently unclear whether the ferry is headed to the Brodosplit shipyard or what the reason for this journey is. In May, the vessel was sold by the Onorato family's ferry company, and esd thought to be scrapped in a scrapyard in Aliaga, but in fact has been sold for commercial purposes and not for demolition, and therefore it is not excluded that it could return to service in the Mediterranean or elsewhere.
