Former Stena Hengist now known as "Panagia tis Tinou" sinking in the harbour at Piraeus Athens since Tuesday when she started taking on water. A sister ship to Stena's Horsa and Senlac she provided cover in the early 1990's on the Holyhead route while the Hibernia was either being repaired or annual overhaul. Some video of her sinking here:

Did the former Hengist currently have a route, or was she laid up?

The ship was reported last year as having being confiscated due to financial problems with her owners. She was not in service when she started to take on water.

She was re-floated last month and is currently being towed to Turkey to be broken up.
