Scrapping begins for the world’s first Boeing Jetfoil Flores

The dismantling of the Boeing Jetfoil named Flores started on the morning of 15 October.

Flores was launched in 1974 as Jetfoil One and spent 45 years serving the Hong Kong–Macau route before being retired in 2008 and laid up in a Hong Kong shipyard. After the COVID‑19 pandemic halted the Macau–Hong Kong maritime link, the vessel was moved to the Hong Kong Ocean Shipyard area in late 2020.
