COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
3/2010 BLUESTONE TOPAZE sold by Bluestone Topaz Pte Ltd (mng Bluestone Shipmanagement Services Pte Ltd), Singapore to Swift Ship Management Pte Ltd, Singapore for $2.7mn and renames EXCELLENT DIVER under Nigerian flag
6/2011 sold to Netsach Ltd, Belize & Lagos, Nigeria transferred to Belize flag (c/s V3QD2). Remained in Singapore area.
8/2011 Belize registration closed
after 2012 sold to PTC Marine Pte Ltd, Singapore, returned to Belize flag (c/s V3QD2) and renamed PTC MARINE 7.
Possibly later reveted to EXCELLENT DIVER (as PTC MARINE 7 shown at one point by MarineTraffic as a "previous name").
All very confusing.
However there appears to be a different PTC MARINE 7, and aggregate carrier ex-YUE DONG JIANG 7 and built 2011, owned by PTC Marine Pte Ltd, Singapore since 2014 and also under Belize flag, and this may be the one still at Singapore in 6/2018 with MMSI 312823032 (other reports noted with 312823000, 312822992, 312822993)
The reports of scrap sale to India seem to date from March-May 2017

Sold for demolition in India, but I have not been able to find a record of its arrival in India, so may have been sold elsewhere, or sunk under tow. Existence doubtful.
