David, thanks for the link. I remember German vessels with far more outrageous color scheme, like the "Borussia Dortmund"...

Cheers

Chosen by MD of Contship, Cecilia Battistello, perhaps to match her dress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecilia_Eckelmann_Battistello

In an interview she said in reply to "Contship Germany, the ship that wanted pink. An exercise of power?

«A feminine madness rather. An idea. I told my parents, who looked at me with wide eyes. I felt exposed, my credibility was at stake. I was forced to do it. They came with a pink-painted cardboard, over the containers of all colors and tried to make me change my mind, telling me it would be bad. My answer: either pink or I cancel the construction order. It turned out to be a huge zero-cost advertisement for the company. They looked for me from all over the world. Artists proposed me to make ships with flowered liveries ... ».

At first I thought that this little one got a really good deal on a leftover paint from "ONE" ships, but she was built several years before the "ONE" became a reality. So now I think that some future "ONE" exec saw this vessel and had an epiphany, like "This is exactly what we need!!!" :)

Maybe there is a link with ONE as she is having exactly the same color.

From time to time I see these psychedelic ships... but her crew is more likely to consist of 5 middle aged Japanese men. :)

The owner is probably a die-hard "Psychedelic Furs" fan...

Such a tender looking coaster, lol! What if her crew is consisting of hot Japanese females?
