Still going strong a decade after I first saw her in my hometown, though she looked more classy with her original high red masts.
Btw, is that a stern thruster there near the propeller? Can't see a thruster sign above it...

Regards,
Denis

Thanks Volker, for your nice comments
about the fine old freighter.
I know she is well taken care of so I think she has some good years left yet.

Best Regards
