SNOW LAND-SNOW DRIFT-SNOW CRYSTAL
« on: July 08, 2011, 08:29:18 PM »
Anyone know of old ships LAND SNOW - SNOW DRIFT - SNOW CRYSTAL? For almost 3 years did not come to Chile to the fruit season, they were ancient ships with over 30 years of service but I had no information from them, if they are gone.
Any comments will thank you..

Juan,

Only Snow Drfit remains (last of 8), she is currently laid up in Riga and I guess her days are numbered.

Snow Land - Broken up 2/2010
Snow Crystal - Broken up 7/2010

Juan,

Both Snow Land and Snow Crystal were broken up at Alang, India. Sister Snow Flower also went here in 2008, and the two ex Blue Star sisters (Santos Star and Santiago Star) were broken up in Bangladesh during 2006.
Amongst my favourite ships!
See my pictures of these two back in 2002 when they laid up in the River Fal -

they were probably the last of the old style reefers from the 70s
lovely big well built ships , suppose they did well to last as long as they did
all good things come to an end
all of the british reefers i sailed on from that era of similar age were scrapped years ago

are the younger  salens winter class reefers which proceeded the snow boats from the early 80s still in service they were also lovely big reefer ships

SNOWDRIFT appears to be loading at Antwerp on one of the City berths on the Schelde.  It will be interesting to see where she goes.

SNOW DRIFT is now heading for Nouakchott, Mauritania.
As the last of her class it is nice to see her back in service.

Glad to hear she is back in service, no doubt heading their to pick up a cargo of fish considering her age.

SNOW DRIFT has ETA Fujairah 10.04.2012.
I am afraid that means that she has been sold for demolition as I have seen many reefers going there as a final stop before heading for Alang  :(

Nice list!

MALAGA CARRIER (ex-WINTER WAVE) broken up Alang 8/6/'09 as per Miramar Ship Index. It does not say whether this was the arrival date or the beaching date.
