Helsinki Shipyard in Finland said it has started to invite tenders for an incomplete 12,500 gross ton cruise ship originally intended to be operated by Swan Hellenic, it said in a statement.

“The Vessel is offered for sale and will be sold ‘As Is’ and ‘Where Is’ without representation, warranty, or guaranty as to quantity, quality, title, character, condition, size, or kind, or that the same is in condition or fit to be used for the purpose for which intended, and no claim for any allowance or deduction upon such grounds will be considered after the bid opening or conclusion of an auction,” the shipbuilder said in a statement.

Swan Hellenic bought the second of the planned three ships, SH Vega at an auction from the shipbuilder in the summer. The sale was due to Russian finance being linked to the original contract to build the ship that Swan Hellenic was to charter from a Russian controlled company.

The winner of the tender would be disclosed on 12 December, the shipyard said.
