Description:

Reefer built 1968 at HDW for Sloman, Sold 1975 to USSR and converted to fish-carrier named Yeyskiy Liman. BU India 1995.

But my problem is she is not carrying a Sloman funnel - so are there any funnel marking experts out there who can tell me who she was operating for with the blue 'R' on the funnel.

Thanks Brent - since posting I did a bit more digging and on Ships Nostalgia there was a reference to Reefer Express so I would guess you are probably right. The photo was actually taken by Bill Mitchell, but we exchanged slides for a number of years after I left Southampton area.

Morning Allan
My thoughts is an early version of the Reefer Express Lines funnel. My shot of Greenland Rex (that I will tidy up now that have access to better technology) shows a similar "R" depiction that maybe their advertising people had modernised from the design you saw. One I hadn't seen before so a nice get Allan, always appreciate your well composed postings.
Cheers
Brent
