Hong Kong Little Tanker
Mike,
I think the tanker is..... 'Wah Hu 3'. of the Wah Hu Petroleum Company Ltd., based at Tue Mun, Hong Kong. It's the second one from the left.

Re: Hong Kong Little Tanker
Hi JAE
Certainly don't want to spoil or put a damprt on all this but on closer look it seems although it does look very similar in many ways the Flag on the Mast is different and the Flat Bow does not have the same Colour or lettering on it??
The Sign too looks different!??
It may however have been redone at some stage!
But all the same it is the closest (if not the correct ship)yet!
Still well done and I am taking naught away from you!
Cheers
What do you think !???

Re: Hong Kong Little Tanker
I have sent an email to the company that owns those ships requesting information with the original photo of the little tanker and hoping to get a reply. We will have to wait and see.
