Hi Asnyk,
You are right, not only the SD 14 are being converted for the Chinese coal trade, but its sad that we are not able to trace them anymore because like you said they are deleted from LR.
Its nice to see that at least this one has all her derricks intact :)

But this happens with other ships, such as type 36L - removes masts, cranes. . . Even with the Japanese ship's construction is normally done and it is really hard to come by on the ship as it was. Ship is to be declared as deleted in LR, but still sailing in local transportation.

Hi AAA,
I have also noticed that they cut the gears of and use them in the coal trade in China, its sad that they also remove the Imonr. when trading domestic, it makes it difficult to follow their history. It would be nice to know how many of them that still are in service in China.
