Suneita

[MauriceJ]

Can anyone please identify the coaster SUNEITA of Georgetown ? She was anchored off Bridgetown, Barbados on 11th March 2014, apparently laid up and very low in the water aft. A photograph is attached and any information on a previous name or other background would be welcome since she is not listed in my usual sources. Thank you.

Dear Seadog Pete,
Many thanks for your quick and very helpful reply. Your suggestion seems to match the SUNEITA extremely well and on investigating it further I find that shipspotting also has a picture of GONCALO (originally THURSO) in the same place in April 2013. The same yard built many similar ships, but apparently every other one has been lost, scrapped, converted or lengthened. Thus unless the same design was used by other builders with exceptionally identical details I am happy that this is the same ship. Thanks again, and best wishes,
MauriceJ
