Title: Help needed with ship's data
Post by: Jens Boldt on October 08, 2016, 02:15:40 PM

Hi all,

is someone able to shed some light on this one?

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1415122#

I've tried Miramar and searched Shipspotting.com for a ship named "Enterprise". I found no other matching photo here under that name and Miramar offers 92 results, though none that would match a general cargo ship of that size built in the 1990s...

Cheers,
Jens

Hi Jens,

I believe IMO 7343372, ex-CALEMAX ENTERPRISE.

Cheers,
Aleksi

You caught it mid naming 2011 ...now Trafford Enterprise.
1974 Seacombe Trader; 1998 Sibir; 1999 Elf; 2005 Calemax Enterprise; 2011 Trafford Enterprise

Right ship Aleksi.
The name was, by then, TRAFFORD ENTERPRISE.
In this pic they have burned off the raised letters "Calemax"
Five days later they had added the "Trafford" letters, but had not completed the repainting:

Not long afterwards, probably in early 2012 the local grain trade closed and she was laid up in Manchester where, so far as I know, she remains.

Thanks for further info David.

So should the correct title of the photo be "Trafford Enterprise" instead of just "Enterprise"?

In the photo showing her in 2014 she still looks quite good. If she's still laid-up there I hope someone's taking care of her...

Yes, Jens, I think so.

She is laid up in Liverpool. And I am not sure if Trafford Enterprise was ever painted on her. Certainly Calemax was painted out - but I remain to be convinced that Trafford was painted up. But I may be wrong!
