Finnwood i know runs from OULU finland to ANTWERP & ZEBRUGGE in BELGIUM . I haven,t been in touch much lately but i presume she still does. "SNOCKY"

[snocky]

Mind is slowing as i should have stated she is now called TRANSWOOD. Presently in or on the way to LUBEC in GERMANY. Hope this is one you are seeking. She ran transatlantic for years with forest products to U.S. & returned to europe from CANADA with newsprint. "SNOCKY"

Hi all

Thanks for your replies, thats why I couldnt find it (now called TRANSWOOD, IMO 9232785). Does she just stay around Europe nowadays? Do you know when she was renamed?
Ive always been interested in ships / shipping but never really had time before and being landlocked doesnt help a lot.

Changed name to TRANSWOOD in 8/2008.  Not long after her registered ownership changed to Longitude Shipping (UK) Ltd, London, which I take to be indirectly a subsidiary of Trantlantic Rederi AB, Gothenburg

Since 1/2012 she's been running regularly between Finland (Oulu, Kemi)/Latvia (Riga) and Belgium (Zeebrugge, Antwerp), with an occasional call at Lubeck.  Prior to that, she seems to have been making round trips for some time to USA (Camden/Philadelphia/Portland) and Canada (Gros Cacouna/Corner Brook) from Zeebrugge and other W European ports, including Port Jerome/Rouen, Santander/Ferrol, Sheerness, Bremen
