Could they not have benefited more by reflagging it, auctioning it off, or atleast using it for scrap steel? Anyone know the rest of the story? Perhaps they were concerned that, given the Dear Leader's propensity for irrational and violent scheming and outbursts, this ship would have been an ongoing provocation and a magnet for mischief in the future.

It is North Korean, they could only sell it for scrap, it would never meet any safety or environmental regulations.
