LOOKS LIKE 'da qing" series

With the discussion from yesterday in the back of my mind, is it a wild idea to suggest that this is a another Galatz built ship, but converted to a tanker? I have not not seen any report of such conversions, but what the Chinese did in the nineties was seriously under-reported. There is a welded 8 on the hull at the end of her previous name but that does look not be of much help either.
