Title: "Ore Fabrica" ore transhipper (ex VLCC) ready for action at Subic
Post by: Mats on February 08, 2012, 06:55:49 PM

Vale is readying the "Ore Fabrica" transhipment terminal at Subic to receive "Vale Brasil" this weekend. "Ore Fabrica" is the former Frontline VLCC "Front Duchess".

Tradewinds has some news on her today: http://www.tradewindsnews.com/drycargo/663516/vale-plots-grand-opening

Antipodean Mariner has some very interesting pictures and details here:

The following is a hotlink to one of his pictures (which I hope he does not mind). Check out his always interesting blog for the rest.
