@Pietro...Very interesting comment you made about the Sulzer Type RTA. That's very interesting to know...I much prefer a comment like yours than those ridicilous and boringly endless posts about "Ugly Ships" etc...Your comment is a breath of Fresh air and also Matty for asking interesting questions...
This is what I like to see people distributing and asking questions to expand one's knowledge..This is what i like about shipspotting..It's why I click on..to ask and read interesting stuff...regards. Oz

Hello.
Interesting one.
IMO 8220151. Ore bulk oil (OBO)built by Mitsubishi 1983 as Zaragoza (probably with one of the first Sulzer type RTA engine built), then Maersk Zaragoza, Mare Oriens of Italian company Fratelli D'Amico,then conversion to bulk carrier, as Hebei Rainbow and scrapped 2011. You can add the IMO number, the photo will be the only one with the Mare Oriens name.
Regards.
Pietro.
