Is this her maiden voyage? She looks pristine.

Having checked her port history, I don't think so.

It shows her in Terneuzen on June 21st and in Antwerp on June 23rd.

However, there are other listings I don't understand - from February to early June showing Kr inc; Kr Pus; Za Dur; Pt Set and NI Tnz.

Cannot find anything older than the above.

Her "In-Service" date was the 9th February 2012.

My guess for the ports is - KR Inc - South Korea Inchon, KR Pus - South Korea Pusan, ZA Dur - South Africa Durban, PT Set - Portugal Setubal, NI Tnz - Netherlands Terneuzen. Does that help?

[RichardP]

Marine Traffic has photos of her at Setubal and Terneuzen as well as Antwerp and Hartlepool.

Richardp - thanks for all the other information.

The latest on Marine Traffic is my shot in Hartlepool.
