Although at the moment we are only concentrating on promoting the ocean liners highlighted on the "Save the Classic Liners" Campaign main page, we also are looking to the future and have a list of other ocean liners on which we are keeping an eye on so that we can consider helping them perhaps in the future. You might say that this is a "Watching Brief List" or "Reserve List". So if you hear of any developments or news regarding these ships or know of any opportunities then please do let us know. These ships include the following: M/S Kungsholm (1966) Currently in service on charter from her owners Topaz International to The Scholarship as M/S Oceanic II. There is interest from Sweden to preserve her as a static hotel ship and tourist attraction in Gothenburg, Sweden. M/S Hamburg (1969) Currently in service on charter from her owners Sovcomflot to Phoenix Reisen as M/S Maxim Gorky but due to be retired on the 30th Nov 2008 due to the implicatons of the increasing oil prices making her expensive to operate. So her future after this date is uncertain. S/S Ausonia (1956) Currently in service with Golden Star Cruises as S/S Aegean II. However due to the new SOLAS 2010 regulations her future after 2010 is uncertain. M/S San Giorgio (1956) Currently in service with the African Safari Club's Indian Ocean Cruises as M/S Royal Star.
