I know this is not strictly speaking a Union Co vessel, but have placed this query here as I felt it would be mainly Kiwi viewers looking who most likely be able to answer this one.

This vessel has slipped off my radar screen and i would love to know what eventually happened to her.

Appreciate any help.
