Luckily I am at work tomorrow. Time for a closer look. Am I right in thinking that the Nikita will discharged at the Delta terminal?

I also found some great pictures on portpictures.nl

MSC Nikita has ben declared "constructive total loss " by experts today. She will be towed to Keppel Verolme shipyard this Wednesday and after some basic welding probably sold to the breakers.
Cheers Fred
