REALLY THE END OF AN ERA

摘要

St Helena Line's St Helena, currently managed by Andrew Weir Shipping, was always going to be replaced at some stage, and is now almost 30 years old. Now, one of the last true passenger and cargo liners is entering the final months of her service between Cape Town and St Helena. The recently opened airport on the little South Atlantic outpost of St Helena, although not operating quite as envisaged, means that the passenger-carrying capacity of the ship is no longer required, and she will be retired in February 2018.
