ABYOT of Ethiopian Shipping Lines photographed entering the Tees. Built by Austin & Pickersgill in 1985. May still be alive?

Dave,

As far as I know the ABYOT and her locally built sisterships are still in service.

My only sighting this day but I must have meandered down to the South Gare to catch her sailing - 3 May 1987:

and although this would be 200mm telephoto it was extreme range (probably changing a film) as she sailed away:
