A South African court has slapped a sale order on a Murmansk Shipping cargoship that was holed off Antarctica in February.
The 10,500-dwt Ivan Papanin (built 1990) will be the subject of a public auction by Admiralty Consultancy, Surveying & Shipsales on behalf of the high court in Cape Town.
The vessel will be sold together with its bunkers.
It has been docked in Cape Town since April.
