Guys,

Tbreed VII was sold to cash buyers 7/2004 for resale to Indian breakers and was scrapped by 9/2004.

Nice to see she's still alive. As SIJILMASSA she visited Helsingborg a couple of times.

Strange..., according to Lloyds, she was scrapped 06/2004 - the sister Ragni Berg which became the TBREED III died 09/2003..., so they are gone.
Not sure we met..., unless via telex, I worked with operation from the office in Copenhagen ;o)

We probably met I worked for Sea Services at Auckland then.

Remember how that beautiful Drammen Elisabeth Berg, Emanuel's sister, ended up once the Iraqi's got hold of her ?

As to TBREED VII must be recent as she was still in Fairplay ISR last month.

Thanks Chris - however TBREED VII appears as dead in the system, so think only Torrens left of the Drammen Reefers.
I worked for Lauritzen Peninsular Reefers in 1978 and the years after, and had the pleasure of operating the Emanuel (on your link), the Ragni Berg, the Zain al Qaws etc with meat out of NZ!

The other is the EMANUEL, now the TBREED VII

NZ being a food exporting country saw at least 27 of the 40 ships, some under two or more names visit to load frozen produce.

Hi Chris - nice picture of this once very nice classic Drammen Reefer. Having worked with a number of the Drammen Reefers from back in late 70'ties - I note you comments that Torrens is one of two left - which one is the other? Brgds/Henrik
