details
Description:
Built by Hugo Peters in 1977, this handsome little feeder operated the first part of her life in the Westeuropean feeder trades. She was lengthened by 6 metres (20 ft) in 1982, and I am not sure whether this picture shows her before or after the conversion. Probably counting the number of containers holds will provide the clue, but one needs a comparable shot.
She is still sailing judging from the name, somewhere in the Middle East.

Listed as "to be broken up" since 11/2015.
Containers may be difficult to estimate (especially if there are 45-footers) but here they end well short of the forward ventilators, as in most of the other photos. But counting the openings in the bulwarks here there are 9.

However in the following the containers reach the ventilators, and there are only 8 openings:

Also, guess I missed this one while making a list of sister ships. There are:
IMO 7703259 - CORONEL (lengthened to 86 meters in 1986, superstructure raised on one deck)
IMO 7702126 - CRANZ (lengthened to 86 meters in 1987, superstructure raised on one deck)
IMO 7811159 - FAROS
IMO 7702114 - PASSATWIND
Those vessels (originally with LOA 80.4 meters) have a slightly different bulwark at the bow.
Regards,
Denis
