Need some help with identifying ships
« on: December 27, 2015, 06:01:50 PM »
Hi all,

I've bookmarked some photos over the last three months where I can't identify the ships.
Your help is much appreciated!

I only found Cast Prosperity IMO 9313199 which obviously isn't the right one:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=83957

Golden King, can't find a match for this one:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1319908#

No match for RCL Baron:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=499

Not quite suitable for the containership-category but maybe someone knows the dredger (if it is one)?
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=123398#

Definitely not Anna Maersk IMO 9260421, but the others I found don't seem to fit either (comparing the accommodation):
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=30932

Kind regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
for the Maersk vessel I would say it belongs to Maersk L-Class (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A6rsk_L-Klasse_%281980%29) - but there are several with only 4 letter first name...

Best regards,
Malte

Thank you all very much for your help so far! :)

I could have searched forever when the king's a wing, RCL is KCL and prosperity turns out to be a prospect ;D

I agree with Malte that the first word in the Maersk photo has four letters, but even blown up it's impossible to read a name.
But Luna Maersk is fine by me (I'll make a note in the description box).

Kind regards,
Jens

Jens,
Sylvia was Rachel Borchard, IMO 9012795, but ship had cranes.

Sistership of Sylvia was Hannes Oltmann, IMO 9012783, chartername was Susan Borchard and ship had no cranes.
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=160595

So maybe Rachel Borchard had cranes removed during her charter?

There are 4 sisters all built at Volkswerf, stralsund.

I'm pretty sure that the dredger RECREIO DOS BANDEIRANTES is the former RIO DE JANEIRO (IMO 5295818), built by IHC/De Klop for the Brazilian Government in 1961 and deleted from IHS-Fairplay in 2010, probably because they had no recent information.  There was a sister MINAS GERAIS (IMO 5235648) which was apparently broken up in 4/2004.  Still trying to get confirmation and it would be premature to give this one an IMO number.

Incidentally, after being abandoned by her owner (Bandeirantes Dragagem e Constru
