Sorry to say but the “Orient Explorer” (ex Sognefjord, ex HMS Kilham, ex PSC 833) has gone to the scrapyard. Several galant attempts to save here and bring her back to Norway has thus failed.
She was blown aground in Kota Kinabalu in a storm:

And after being salvaged, awaiting her faith, also in KK:
A painting made of the Sognefjord as she look during her many years in service as a ferry between Bergen and numerous small places along Sognefjorden, Norway:
The painting was made by Tommy Vågen and sold to entusiasts to make money for the latest attempt to save her.
The artist seen her at the wheel onboard “Orient Explorer” during an inspection trip by members of the group to ascertain her condition in 2022:
The group is now attempting to get hold of some artefacts from the scrapyard.
