Last Friday, I spent some time on board the MV Doulos. She is currently the world’s oldest ocean-going passenger ship with the hull built in 1914, just 2 years after the famous Titanic. This is her last voyage to Singapore as she is due to be decommissioned at the end of this year. What a great pity but understandable given the age of the ship.

MV Doulus arrived in Singapore a few days ago and will be here until December 26, 2009. She is currently docked at the Harbour Front, Vivo City.
This 94 year old ship has gone by many names over the years such as the SS Medina, the SS Roma, and the MV Franca C.

Doulos (meaning "Servant" in Greek) is operated by the non-profit charity organization Gute Bücher für Alle (“Good Books for All”), based in Germany.
