Dutch Investor former Irish Naval Ship resell

Formerly known as LÉ Aisling Sold for €110,000 in March

The ship went under the hammer back in March at Dominic J Daly & Co. Auctioneers in Cork and was bought by a representative of a Dutch company with plans to refurbish it and re-sell the vessel. There was only one other bid on the day from a Cobh businessman.




The ship’s listing says the recently decommissioned naval service vessel “is in very good condition and the price will go up as the owners spend money on further improvements.”
