The above reefer left Nakhodka on the Pacific coast of Russia over 30 days ago heading through the Japanese Islands bound for supposedly South Boat Shore ( Which is not a merchant ship port ?) with an ETA of 9/12/15

As of today there is still no sign of her on any website ? Any news would be very much appreciated

Many thanks

Above Reefers both heading for Falmouth for lay up (unconfirmed) with ETAs of 5/8 1030am and 7/8 0800.
Looks like they may have had a reprieve from the scrapyard to continue trading next season ?
The 3rd sister ship Summer Bay dropped off AIS 36 days ago so not sure what she is up to. The 4th vessel in the series Summer Wind unfortunately went for scrap on the 10th September last year in Alang
