Like your selection of fine shots showing Azu after the 'grounding'! I seem to remember at that time she was maybe the largest vessel to go onto the floating dock? By the way you likely don't have a shot of the "Odon" from the late 1980s - she was the other Nigerian klondyker that was working with the Azu at that time??

Thanks also Stig for info re Indi - didn't know about her - you don't happen to know who / where she was built for and when? Can't find her in any of my recent LRs or under any other name so maybe long since gone for razor blades! By the way the discussion and subsequent pics of Azu came from recent shot of her on this site(now as Vardberg) in Las Palmas by Luis Herrera.

You proberbly know that Azu had a sister named "Indi"!?
I have a original catalogue from the yard where they were built, with pics and other info.
I`m suprised to see she`s still active and whith originale colours.

Stig
