Does anyone have more information about where are the eight passengerships MARIJA JERMOLOVA, MARIJA SAVIN, ALLA TARASOVA, LJUBOV ORLOVA, OLGA ANDROVSKAJA, OLGA SADOVSKAJA, KLAVDIJA JELANSKAJA and ANTONINA NEZHDANOVA which were build 1975-1978 for Murmansk Shipping Company and for the Far Eastern Shipping Company trading at the moment?
I know the ALLA TARASOVA is nowadays CLIPPER ADVENTURER. And that the former MARIJA SAVINA is nowadays called SAMPAGUITA FERRY 2 and what I know she should be operating in the Philippines on the Zamboanga - Sandakan route. But what is going on with the other ships in this serie???
I believe that the MARIJA JERMOLOVA and KLAVDIJA JELANSKAJA are stil owned by Murmansk Shipping Company as well as the ANTONINA NEZHDANOVA and OLGA SADOVSKAJA are stil owned by Far Eaestern Shipping Company but where are all these ships operating???
Interesting... I had no idea that Alla Tarasova (Clipper Adventurer) had that many sisters! Mind you, being that she was built expressly for the Soviets, I figured there must have been some, but that is a lot!
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question however... But interesting nevertheless!
