Help and Advice / A question concerning Chemical Progress (IMO. 7350260)
« on: August 08, 2011, 09:49:21 PM »
Hi all,
last Sunday I came across Chemical Progress on the river Elbe here at Hamburg. Her IMO suggests that she was built around the mid-70s, but according to Equasis she was actually built in 1990. Why is that? Has she been built from the hull of a vessel built in the 70s like Louis Cristal (IMO. 7827213) or was her keel laid back then and then work stopped for about 15 years?
I'm really curious...
Best regards,
Jens
