My third encounter with the Dmitriy Shostakovich -classer SC Atlantic was recently in wintery St. Petersburg, where she was laid up by the channel leading to the Morskoy Vokzal passenger terminal alongside a group of freighters, looking quite forlorn. (The photographs from the second encounter you've already seem - the 1st encounter was last summer in weather conditions that were too poor to yield displayable photographs). As indicated in the previous entry, I do not know if S-Continental are planning to reactivate the ship for the 2011 summer season or not. She is still listed on the company website at least.

| A bunch of laid up ships and... what's that familiar-looking thing in the distance? The ships are, left to right: Dutch Mariner, the aptly named Frost 5, Forline I and SC Atlantic. |
 |
| She hasn't been moving in a while, judging by the unbroken ice around her. |
 |
| It was cold and snowflakes keps getting in the photos, but it was still worth it. Except maybe for the flu I got as a result of hanging out too much in the cold outdoors. |
