COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
You are spot on with the vessel.
I am sufficiently persuaded to confirm that it is the ship you suggest.
Comparing with other available photos, especially Emmanuel's , I have found three identifying features which match exactly:
1) On the after starboard end of the boat deck, a coloured punchbag is lashed to the railings of the deck above.
2) On the extreme starboard aft end, in way of the fairlead, the white/grey staining shape matches exactly.
3) The aftermost bulwark on the working deck has a primed uppermost part in grey paint, and is unfinished.
There are other points, but three will do!
Thanks again.

If not it is another of that series BOURBON EXPLORER 501-519. Looks like a St Vincent flag, so one of 504, 506-508, 510, 512-513, 515-516, 518-519. Good luck!
