At Souris, Prince Edward Island in January

Perhaps laid up there, as no AIS reports since Dec 2011.

She was in Europe last year and returned with a new paint job.Possibly more retro work being done?Is Souris a yard?

I wouldn't say so - it's a small port and ferry terminal for the Iles de Madeleine.  It was certainly her wintering port 2011-12:

and she is there now on the port webcam.

DUTCH RUNNER was berthed in the photos as shown on http://goo.gl/maps/gVBbz

Are you sure about her being in Europe last year?  I have here over this side 12/2010-5/2011, including 11 days at Tuzla just before returning to Canada.

Sorry it was 2011. There are many photos of her in Germany, UK, etc.

She is still in Souris, PEI. I was there just this week in my truck and while waiting to load for Virginia I noticed and distinctively non-North American looking ship down in the harbour so took a walk down to get some photos. The first time I've taken photos of ships since moving to Canada from England in 2009!
According to the harbour office she's been there since 2011, though I'm not sure if thats strictly true. They said she's up for sale but her owners continue to pay her port fee's which amount to approximately $40,000CAD per year. Either way she looks in a bit of a sorry state, though its probably only cosmetic.
