Dear Malcolm Cramfield,

But Miramar.com also my company's profile don't have any information about these vessels pre-owners before The Cuban Goverment (Empressa Naviera Mambisa) you mention above.

Please, give me a clue if possible ?
Thanks for information, Malcolm.

Regards,
Binh.

Thankyou Binh for your interesting photographs and information. I confirm that the four ships (and other SD14's) were built for the Cuban Government (Empresa Naviera Mambisa) and others were purchased second hand.

best regards.Malcolm Cranfield
