Note that she is a handy sized ship, very much resembling the unfinished ship.

A bit more searching, and located the ship when moored in Eleusis Bay in numerous satellite images, which has enabled her to be measured; the length is a match for DOCEVENUS at 221 metres in length (she was in fact longer than DOCELUA). From the records I have on PEARL CONSTANTA, she is 238m in length, so it is not a match.
From my understanding, at some point there were three incomplete hulls in the area, two from Brazil: DOCELUA (which became KIVELI) and DOCEVENUS, whilst the other was PEARL CONSTANTA (Mangalia). But this then raises the question, what happened to the third ship.
Apologies for any confusion caused.

Confirm that this hull is not a sister (this has a flush deck, whilst the Kiveli has raised quarterdeck and foc'sle).
There was a long discussion on this site around 10 years ago about this hull, which concluded this was PEARL CONSTANTA (Mangalia 856). Pictures of a near sister, which was completed, KIRAN ASYA/TK NEW YORK (Mangalia 855) can be seen here: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/search.php?query=9040895&x=29&y=3
It shows she has the same hull shape.

Nektarios, This is Kiveli, and although completed, I think that there are too many differences with this hull.
Some sisterships of the Pearl Constanta (Mangalia 856) have been completed, this is yard number 858, and the shape of the hull looks much more the same than that of the Kiveli

But yes the link you are sending seems to point in another direction...
