It's timw again, I need your R.I. factor, it's up to 86% this week and I want to see if yours fits in to the figures.
I've had a call from the yard and it's good news and bad news, first , ....
M.V. Ruby Norton. apparently, Lloyds have been doing some checking and we have a problem, as they can't actually work out how old it is, it's been touted in some publications as being younger than it is and there's photographic evidence of it, which apparently show it dressed overall to disguise it's age.
We'll have to see.
Dumb Hopper Sandy Sole... good news on this one, apparently the welders say its plates are tremendously thick for it's age, they describe it as the thckest they've ever seen, they got in a metallurgist to check it out and they confirmed it was also the densest they've ever encountered. Thick and dense, ... better than expected.
