Dimitrios

m/v Dimitrios

When I was visiting Rhodes a few years ago I spotted this coaster beauty on the breakwater. Turns out she's got a pedigree of 60 years now as she was built in Germany back in 1964, she also looks well looked after as well. Judging of all pictures online it seems her livery of blue changed in 2012/13 to red and the aft derrick boom and mastframe were cut off in 2015/16.

I also had a look in Equasis, it appears there is no history of her in there. Perhaps because she's only trading in Greek waters in domestic traffic.
