Hi John, was just researching her as she was running to Las Palmas until earlier in the year. Now the ''Hellenic Sailor'' and currently alongisde in Piraues. As Derek said, nice to see her in her original guise. I saw her and several others of the class being built at Chiba in 1978/79 when I was there working on Shell's "e" class tankers. I don't expect she will last too much longer. Regards, Rick

Thanks Derek,
unfortunately the slide has suffered the ravages of time a bit, but from looking on the site the actual ship is still looking well. Considering that these ships live a hard life, many Ro Ro's seem to survive an awful long time compared to more conventional ships.
Regards

Hi John,

Many of my slides have suffered the same fate.
But as you say the ship itself is certainly a credit to her builders.

Derek
