The last time MV Doulos visited Kota Kinabalu in October 2007, its first in 8 years, was supposed to be its last ever, as it was reported that the ship would be decommissioned within 3 years.

Well, 2007 + 3 is 2010 and it is still only 2009, so this time would perhaps be the real swan song.

This year, apart from Kota Kinabalu, the ship has visited / will visit only a select few places in Malaysia: Kuching in January and after KK, it will go to Pasir Gudang (Johor).

The 95-year-old ship, the world’s oldest active passenger ship has now been a floating library for more than 30 years.

- Location: Berth 8 of Kota Kinabalu’s port.
