Description:

Not only the morning provide good light, also the evening can be nice here.
It gave me the opportunity to spot a for me completely unknown ship, which turned out to be the official fuel transport ship to supply the country of Mauritius.
Owned by the Mauritian Company Betamax, the LR1 Red Eagle is part of the 15 year supply contract with the State Trading Company.
Searching a bit deeper I found that in 2015 this contract was terminated by STC, but after a legal procedure that was considered to be unlawful, so perhaps Red Eagle is still involved in what she was intended for.
Here she is a long way from home, so perhaps she is free to do other things as well.

The Eagle was delivered in 2011, from the now defunct Sungdong Shipyard. (#3056)

Thanks for spotting that Igor, a search on Betamax vs STC provides more info, key issue is a change in Government in 2015, and this is Africa.
