SPEC was the abbreviation of the project / partnership the vessel was purchased and converted for - LDE stands for Louis Dreyfus Energy – 888 being the luckiest combination of numbers for the Chinese.
She was purchased and converted by LD in Sembawang Singapore for use as a storage / transfer vessel moored just off the coast of China in what was then the “Shenzen special economic zone”, taking in various grades from large product tankers, storing / mixing and transshipping into small river tankers that ultimately fed an upriver power station.

The vessel is north bound, and heading to Priolo in Sicily to discharge diesel oil,
Where I departed the vessel on the 30th, according to my discharge book.
She had 2 ESD III roof fired boilers.
