Hi guys,
I am a photojournalist for newsagency. And trying to get the picture of NORWAY. And I know that NORWAY is in Port Klang, Malaysia..but can't locate its location..Anybody have some tips for this? Have tried to call Star Cruise media relation..they claim they dont know anything bout this..
Yusni

Yusni,

from what I have been told, she is at anchor outside the port. I have no idea how current that information is, however.

it's me again,
any idea which port as Klang has 3 port, Northport, Westport and Southport.
Cheers,
Yusni

Yusni,

sorry, no idea.

Hello everybody,

new rumors suggest that Star Cruises is currently in negotiations with a number of potential buyers, including at least two French projects. One group of investors has reportedly been successful in raising US$ 38 million for the purchase of the ship. That French group hope to be able to raise more money in order to equip the "Norway" with new engines so that she may sail again.

I guess we will have to wait and see...

Hi Raoul

Thats really interesting, and would be great if it comes off. I'm still a little sceptical though.
Still, let us know if you find out any more.

Rosey

Will keep my fingers crossed. Personally, I think the idea of turning her into a floating hotel was a good one. Maybe that will work out this time. She's a grand old lady.

Very good page about s.s. France/Norway on:

There is something about too, however in french
only.

Unfortunately I don't understand french. If there is anything in that article that has anything to do with selling or buying the S/S Norway, please please let us know. Thanks

Hallo everybody,

I have been able to obtain a photo of the S/S "Norway" taken September 3rd at the Port Klang, Malaysia, anchorage by passengers of the container ship "Baltrum Trader":



Many thanks to "tathraman1" for sharing it!

Thanks Raoul

She's still majestic, but looking a little tired and sad.
I hope they do something sensible with her, no-one cares much for heritage these days which is a real shame.

Keep us posted

Whereas I agree heritage is important, it's more of a government sponsored activity than it is private enterprise activity.
I don't see either the governments of France or Norway stepping up to save this ship.

What has happened to the two(2) tenders that sat on Norway's bow, I note that they are not present in the picture posted of Norway on Port Klang.

Mercedes,

first of all, welcome to Cruise-Chat.com!

The tenders were taken off the ship in Bremerhaven several weeks before the "Norway" left Germany. A couple of weeks after the "Norway" had left, they also left Bremerhaven by freighter. That ship's destination was listed as Freeport, Bahamas. I don't know whether NCL stills owns the tenders and plans to use them at Great Stirrup Cay (which would be a good idea IMHO) or whether they will be used elsewhere or by a new owner.

Bureau Veritas (the tenders' classification society - they are considered individual ships, i.e. coastal ferries) still lists them as "Little Norway I" and "Little Norway II".

Hello with all Much of photographs of Norway and the steamer France has to discover on: attention in French but the tracduction is done with http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Is any info if Norway has still any crew or is ghosts ship like old France years ago?

Mick,

she has a small maintenance crew onboard - as she's been having since the boiler explosion.

Thanks Raoul,
still better than empty ship, let's hope ...

French pages reported that all NCL logos were
removed from NORWAY, but nothing more ...

Thanks, Mick!
