Owner/manager: Eletson Corp., Greece
Port of registry: Piraeus
Gross tons: 29,506
Deadweight: 45,425
Length overall: 183.0 m
Engine: diesel
Service speed: 14 knots
Completed 1991
Sold December 2010, renamed “Damalis” (Barbados flag)
Sold March 2012 to Penta Ocean Shipmanagement, Dubai, renamed “Mena” (manager Marian Shipmanagement & Consultancy Services, Mumbai). Flag initially Tuvalu then changed to Togo (?).
There is currently (August 2020) some confusion as to flag, manager & position/status. Most of the usual websites still give Togo as the flag, but one gives it as Iran (another as the original Greece!). Several still give the manager as Marian Shipmanagement (and some also give this as owner), but one gives the manager as Rahbaron Omid Darya Ship Management (whose website says they are an Iranian-registered private company). The position is generally given as at or off Bandar Abbas, Iran. Most indicate no movement for several years & two give the status as “laid up”.
