Al Salam Carducci 82 in Suez
El Salam gained media attention in 2006 after the MV al-Salam Boccaccio 98, sank on 2 February 2006 in the Red Sea en route from Duba, Saudi Arabia, to Safaga in southern Egypt, with the loss of over 1000 lives.[1]
This ship, among others in the same class, were supposed to end their career in 2010, but after the Boccaccio 98 disaster all remaining (3) vessels were sold to an Indian scrapyard (one other had burned out and sank already in 2002).

- Safaga, Egypt — Duba and Jeddah, both in Saudi Arabia
