MV ''Regent Sky'' was an unfinished cruise ship that travelled to several locations during her uncomplete construction. She was initially being built in Poland as the cruise ferry ''Stena Baltica'', one of four sister ships planned for the Stena Line. Still incomplete, she was purchased by Regency Cruises and moved to Greece, but her new owners filed for bankruptcy in 1995. The unfinished ship was sold for scrap in July 2011.〔 ==History== ''Regent Sky'' was originally ordered in 1979 and laid down in 1985 under the name ''Stena Baltica''.〔(Some sources ) state ''Stena Polonica''〕 She was one of four fairly identical cruise ferries being built by Stocznia im Lenina, in Gdańsk, a Polish seaport on the Baltic coast, for Stena Line, ''Stena Germanica'', ''Stena Scandinavica'' and .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=M/S Stena Baltica (1988) )〕 In 1986, her construction was cancelled (and her sisters' delayed) because of problems with the shipyard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Regent Sky )〕 The unfinished hull was purchased in 1989 by A. Lelakis, owner of Regency Cruises.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Regent Sky )〕 Regency planned to put her into service as their first new ship, having previously purchased and converted ocean liners. ''Stena Baltica'' was towed to the Avlis Shipyards at Perama, Greece (also owned by Lelakis), where a USD $200 million process to convert her into a cruise ship began. The vessel was renamed ''Regent Sky'' at this time, and 7,000 tons of steel were installed after she was lengthened 50 meters at Elefsis Shipyards in Greece. In 1995, while ''Regent Sky'' was at the Avlis Shipyards of Chalkis, Greece and about 60% finished, Regency Cruises ceased operations. The vessel was seized by the National Bank of Greece and Hellenic Industrial Development Bank in July 1999. Since then, ''Regent Sky'' has moved from one lay up berth to another, including Perama, Ambelakia and then Kinossoura. All attempts to sell the vessel at auction failed. The ''Regent Sky'' had been laid up and moved to anchorage off Eleusis, Greece, until July 2011 when she was sold for scrapping.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=THE EMERALD Of Eleusis And Piraeus To Petrola-ing )〕 The never finished hulk arrived for demolition in Aliaga, Turkey on 16 July 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Uncompleted Cruise Ship Regency Sky (Zoe) off for Scrapping! )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Regent Sky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
