COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
An interesting question indeed, just looking at the photo she looks to be a containership. But you say grain is below deck, in which case no cellular holds so to me dismisses a containership. All sorts of ships are now fitted with various forms of deck lashings to handle containers - even barges and heavy-lift ships, so the sight of containers on deck can be very misleading. On Equasis they list the ship as a 2006 built general cargo ship, quite a rare ship type these days. In view of all the uncertainty, I would go with the Equasis definition.

And this ship has like hatch covers to make an orlop deck in the holds, for "conventionnal" cargo. These hatch covers are pile up on the bay near the accomodations and on the first bay forward.
