Can Anyone identify this ship?

[Stephen Reynolds]

Hi All

Seen in Kuantan Malaysia earlier this month.

Although there are numerous Yuan Tong's on various web sites none seem to match this ones appearance.

Can anyone help i.e IMO etc.

Regards

Steve

Stephen,

Yuan Tong IMO 8909599 would seem to fit the bill in terms of type, size and age. She also appears to Japanese built, which also fits nicely. Unfortunately, I can't find a photo to confirm though

Incidentally, It's a really nice photo and perfectly acceptable for the main photo section, you should have uploaded it to the mystery ships category.

Thanks for your help and advice - I will do as you say.

Hopefully I can get a positive ID.
