A Nedlloyd container ship in Durban. I thought this was Nedlloyd Lek but am no longer 100% sure. Photo was taken probably 1987. Any information?

Hmm,
I am not sure it is the "Lek" but the second part of the name is very short...

There is a photo of her as the " Safocean Mildura" here :

and as you can see the masts abaft the funnel do NOT appear to be goalposts. Or ..... is this an optical illusion ? .....can't be sure.

I will try to compare with others in the class.

Regards,
Rick

This is definitely the NEDLLOYD LEK. Her conversion was different to that of her sisters. The other three retained their original masts and cranes abaft the funnel.
