The RIO entered drydock for an underwater check and a underwater hull clean up.I don't know if her hull will be painted in the new owner colours now.If her new name,port of registry etc is being quoted in marine traffic, I presume the sale has gone through,so even if her hull is not going to be painted now, her new name etc will be applied before she sails.
thanks rene

Hi Emmanuel , maybe her complete hull will be repainted in the Spliethoff colours, then the name will be painted at the end.
Thanks anyway , René

This morning the HHL RIO DI JANEIRO was in no.4 drydock, and though marinetraffic is showing her under her new name ,she is still not having her new name and port of registry changed.I will post a photo later on.

Hi rene, I took that photo on 7June, but since then I did not drive down to the harbour as I had other more serious things to attend to,but I will drive down today and confirm your info. As to the MANISA KRISTIN sorry but I have not any more info.Once I had a source but he has now found alternate work in a local company not dealing in marine.So it is only by viewing from a distance that I can perceive anything.
