Hi, Pieter!   

Neftegaz-4 / Ilga is serving as a naval tug MB-305:

Ilga would have been Neftegaz-4, but was delivered as Ilga and converted to a missile range tracking ship for USSR Navy, I believe in 1994, but may have been earlier, Kalar was launched as Neftegaz-65 but renamed prior to delivery.

Neftegaz-4 / Ilga is still serving as a naval tug MB-305:

Shipping News and information / Re: Jumbo Challenger & Fairmast to be broken up???

Indeed they could. Say Storman Asia & Ocean Team, thank God, still sailing after changing several owners and names.
But those who examined the 2 Jumbos know better... Interesting, when they will arrive (or arrived) at the breakers?

So said on Equasis as well as Jumboship removed those 2 ships from their fleet list.
Sad to know my favourite heavylifters will be scrapped after 28 years of work for Jumboship.
