Hi Lanaud,

to me it looks like a vessel built by Neptunwerft, Rostock of former "Deutsche Seereederei" since 1975. First vessel was RUDOLF DIESEL. They were a series of 19 vessels. The first vessels of the series ended with "-WALDE" like "FÜRSTENWALDE", the others of the series ended with "-SEE" like ARENDSEE".

Regards,
Holger

Thanks for that information. rumours here have it that a load of drugs was dumped in the Gulf somewhere... Weird story

I found the two you mentionned of th same class. Pretty much look the same allright.

Hi Lanaud,
Got few informations about this mystery ship. Left Rimouski to get caught in Sydney for 900+ days under Port State Control.
Last available information on official data base is a Class certificate issued 05-01-2006, by Indian Register of Shipping, might be to ship her to Alang for scrapping...
Could be interesting to find out by the shipspotting community over there! Have a nice summer

I had heard she was sold, left Rimouski and headed of to osme Port on The U.S. Coast where she was for sale again... Mind you, that was 2-3 years ago. Thanks for the info. :-D

Thx for this picture. Remember a lots of memories of my time pass here in Rimouski.

I went onboard and it was in really bad condition....
