Thank you for your comments, TYZEF29 and George.

You're too kind, George, I just sometimes happen to be lucky with this hobby of mine... :)

Cheers

Your opportunities and your ability to capture them are always amazing, Vlad. In my opinion, you are the Shakespeare of the art and reality of our maritime world today.

Good day all, very good quality picture. I saw her twice when I was at Kaohsiung fishing port. It was in 2016 and to be honnest, for me she was almost dead and not able to go anymore at high sea. I don't speak chinese, but I understood that the main reason this lady was not scraped yet, was that she was used as a floating fridge for frozen tuna...and what I see now, she is there at Busan anchorage ! wow much respect, thanks again for sharing this pictures with us. Regards TYZEF29

Thank you all for your comments. She's still at Busan anchorage, so her smoke will be around for some time to come...

At 54 years, she's an old lady. At her age, if she likes to smoke, she should be able to do what she likes.

What's in a name!
Beautiful ship

Nice shot!

Impressive photo!

Indeed a nice old lady, but let's face it: the sooner she goes to the breakers the better it will be.
Would be a profit for the environment...

Thank you for your comments.

Jürgen, the way she moved around the anchorage suggests full crew on board, so maybe there's a future for her, indeed...

Pieter, I think her owner's integrity prohibits playing with her "classic" lines, so no such monstrosity will ever be considered... :)

Cheers

Vlad

Is she waiting to get a scrubber fitted?

Hello Vlad,
again your famous "Profit Rich"... Good sign that the ME is still working and that the crew is alert and battling with her against wind and waves. It seems that she is not a lost case so far and there is still hope of some more profit...
Thanks for posting
