SPAR GEMINI

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed Jun 25, 2014 4:34 am

Thanks to Mr. Peter Crichton who after a long time found out via the IMO No on the bridge (almost unreadable) that the vessel IMO No is 9307580 which belongs to the Norway bulker SPAR GEMINI.
Peter gives also that on the photo the name of the SPAR GEMINI deliberately has been removed, photos of the ship shows clearly her name.

Imo No.9307580.

Togo 2014 7500F sgMS?, scott? The SPAR GEMINI is the vessel in front of the stamp, then Peter has found out that the vessel on the left of the stamp has a badge on the bow which looks the coat of arms of the town Hamburg, so most probably a container ship belonging to an owner from Hamburg. Behind the two ships you can see the bow of a Hanjin Line of South Korea container ship. The grey hulled ship in the margin of the stamp is most probably a chartered Cosco vessel from the Far East the name is in Western and Eastern letters on the bow, but unreadable. Images received from Mr. Sitnikov with thanks.
