She is carrying passanger and cargo regularry between Istanbul and Odessa.research ship sailing as passanger but cargo too

No Friendship, I´m not wrong!
I wrote that the "shiptype" is RESEARCH VESSEL, so she was built for that, and the "passenger service" is a sub-use for her and not her shiptype ok!

When I sad "shiptypes", this word means what purpose the vessels was built for, and not for her sub-services with some financial or other problems!
thanks :-D

Cordeiro has wrong!
GLORIA was research ship and runs because of financial need of the Ukraine now as a privatized passenger liner...

Regards friendship

She is not a passenger ship type vessel, but she is a "research vessel" type, by Lloyd´s (Equasis)! :-D
