I wasn't at home impossible to correct the informations.
I was surprise with only one word in the name because I supose this ship belongs to American owner Delta Line.

comment
the official name of the owner was Mississippi Sg Co Inc which was also called Delta Line. Up to 1946 their ship names (13 ships) were spelled without the space, from then on with a space, first ship was DEL AIRES in 1946.
Best wishes, Manfred
