I would go for the SA Morgenster by the lines of her Hull, if you look close the Hull runs straight for longer than the other two, who,s Hulld are a bit Shorter on the Low side ? But just my guess! Even the Bridge etc look more like it!

Just wondering after a bit of a read, is it possible that the Ship is the Vigil (Vigel) ex SA Vergelegen ) as it is last known ?? Possibly just still using the old SA Funnel for a spell.

S.A. Vergelegen was commissioned in 1969 had a 250 Stulken heavy lift and the number 3/4 and 5/6 holds had been extended. She was last known as the Virgil prior to being decommissioned after 1987.

Well going futher i find this is the Port of Tampico, the Ship could possibly be the SA Huguenot as said in another post, on this Thread!

Could be a Eastern block ship on charter, did the Poles and the east germans not have a class along those lines?
