Everyone thanks for the info of a few days ago. I have changed her category.

Krispen is spot on. There are several photographs of her on shipspotting at dedicated cement terminals, notably Cebo's own base in IJmuiden:

She was a frequent caller at Aberdeen with cement for the offshore oil & gas industry

Well done Krispin. If anyone was going to come up with a definitive answer, it had to be you!

Understand in 1998 she was fitted with cement handling equipment taken from the CARINE (also from Cebo Marine) at Oranjewerf. Believe this was removed before her sale and placed in the RHOON-C.
The pump gear was never obvious on her, lying within the hold. When handling cargo she would have the hatches partially open, so assume there were tanks of some form in the hold as well. Observed her a few times working cargo, but could never get to a place to look into her hold.

Lloyds Register 2010-11 shows her as cement carrier, having been converted from general cargo in 1998.

I've dug a bit deeper here.
Currently, Equasis shows her as a general cargo ship. She is classed with the Dromon Bureau of Shipping which also refers to her as a general cargo ship
Additionally, I have a full description for her when she was for sale in 2010. She's a box hold singledecker with a removable bulkhead enabling the single hold to be split into two sections. As such, she can no doubt carry bagged or bulk cement, along with many other cargoes, but there is no mention of specialist cement handling pumps or silos.

I've had this debate with a couple of admins over the years, i.e. do you categorise the ship as she is in the photograph, or as she is now. I've always done it as she is in the photograph, but I've had admins change them to as she was at the time the photograph was posted.

But the photos tell a different story. I don't have access to Miramar but it's an amateur database and is probably copying Equasis.

Looks like she was converted to a bulk cement carrier in 1998.

Hi Phil,

I had the same doubt, but some times the pumps are in the engine room and the connection just before the bridge. Old cargo holds are filled by manholes in the deck.
Also other pictures of this ship are in this section.

Frans,

I doubt that she is a cement carrier in this photo as there is no on-deck pumping gear or silos. She looks the same as she did when built - a bog-standard singledecker. Equasis reckons that she is a cement carrier but, if she is, it's not in the strictest sense.

Cheers
Phil
