Description:

Hello there, I just found this ship beached at Gadani ship breaking yard for Demolition, but for reason it didn't happened, so stands there for the last 8 months. Anyway no official data is available and it was presumed to be the dead ship.. I guess....but no folks ... I have the Pictures of that old master piece burnt in Iran/Iraq war but still looking good.

Any one has more info of this vessel .. just pass it on ...

Chill.....

Shahid .... well done indeed ...this class of ship in BP Tankers were our favourite ships to be on, lovely accommodation great runs ... this one is ex British Curlew. There is an Iranian film made aboard her called 'Iron Island'

Would you be able to keep an eye on her and take photos as she gets broken up please? there will be a lot of ex 'Birdy Boat' crews very interested ....
