Interesting to see 3 ex-dockyard cranes installed on her.

What is the status of this ship now?

She is used ,as a grain discharging vessel in Port Said. The bulkers berth alongside and Vac-u-Vators are used to discharge grain (mainly Wheat) into her. It is then bagged and distributed. Think her days are numbered as the Egyptians are concentrating more and more Panamaxes on Abhoukir and Alex., where dedicated grain installations.

A streched t2 built in chester pa 1943 yard #291 later she became the esso shreveport caught in the suez in the 1975 war , facts from the new web site miramar ship index , a great site with over 100,00 ships listed 8-)

Incredible, how old merchant ships are stil lying sonewhere hidden in southern ports like this nice former bulker or tanker.

I would agree that this is probably a T2 tanker.
From the state she is in, I would imagine that she is in use as a cement storage hulk.
Also interesting to note that the other photo shows port of registry as being Miami, Fla.

Possibly a T2 tanker by the look of her.
