Post by: Henry23 on September 14, 2016, 02:44:29 PM

Does anyone know the status of the Mv Ben Ellan (imo 8018936)

She was sold by Ramsey Steamship Comp back in 2011? And then ended up Dordrecht.....??

Thanks

According Equasis renamed into Big Mike, Guyana flag.
Converted into a Tanker.

more info found here:

Perhaps some one in Poland knows more. ??
