At the time the announcement of the ship's retiral was made the company expressed the hope that it would continue operating.

According to what's been written Black Prince does not meet the new safety requirements (SOLAS) which come into force next year. Olsen has decided the the cost involved, age & economical climate cannot justify it's modifications, so it probably wouldn't be viable for another operator take it on either.....Wilba.
