Yes, she was still trading in 2019.

Thanks Coasterwatcher, perhaps the name change dates in Miramar are not totally correct, (based on late reporting by official sources.) You mention that she is still trading, was that in 2019?

Yes, Pieter Melissen. I have a photograph of her thus named off the West African coast. You can see her on page 66 of the April 2015 edition of "Coastal Shipping" magazine.

Hello Malcolm,
she was built by Bayerische Schiffbaugesellschaft, Erlenbach am Main, which is situated in Northern Bavaria near Aschaffenburg. In 1969 I lived in Hanau (Main) not far away from that place and I watched her construction.
Kind regards Michael

Coasterwatcher, are you sure? She only became Pereye I in 2016, and since then no further info.

Was trading as Blessing I in 2015. Still trading.

She is being reported as trading under the Nigerian flag. Her remnants can probably be found somewhere along the Nigerian coast.
