Spent two nights aboard this one from Gothenburg to Tilbury. It's British flag but had only a British skipper and 2nd Engineer. The rest of the officers and catering crew were East European and the ratings were (very friendly) Filipinos. The food was awful! Fried Polish sausage (on its own) for breakfast. Yeukk!

I'm still to see her in this guise Derek, kept missing her on the Thames. Is she a regular at Harwich now, I see from ships details that she is Rotterdam-Harwich.
Only time I've seen her is as RFA SEA CENTURION (A98)

Regards

Bob
