"Ore Fabrica" ore transhipper (ex VLCC) ready for action at Subic

[Mats]

Vale is readying the "Ore Fabrica" transhipment terminal at Subic to receive "Vale Brasil" this weekend. "Ore Fabrica" is the former Frontline VLCC "Front Duchess".

Tradewinds has some news on her today: http://www.tradewindsnews.com/drycargo/663516/vale-plots-grand-opening

Antipodean Mariner has some very interesting pictures and details here:
