Celtic Commander & Celtic Ambassador, where are they now?

[Henry23]

Noted the above vessels off the radar so to speak.

Anyone know of their status or renaming?

Thanks

[Ian Thomas]

Checked equasis Charles, both reported laid-up but unable to find out where for you.

Many thanks yours above!

I had thought maybe this the case.

With the current Willie fleet of 12 was a little supprised these laid up with there strong liner bis.

Market indeed slow but over 2 years laid up is interesting!

Any recent photos out there?

Best

Laid up at Eregli, at least until 10/2011 (last noted AIS signal from CELTIC COMMANDER)

I wonder whether there was an underlying 15-year lease from, say, Turkish interests.  And I see that they are described on the Willie website as "managed" rather than "owned".
