Maltese owned Ship
Would it be the Maltese owned Ship Paola C (ex Good Hope Castle) or could be Southampton Castle?

Certainly not disputing your post mate
Hi Terry
Certainly not disputing your post mate ,but all i can find on the Teal is the following and it had no reference to UCL!
But is still in service!
Is this the same one at all?? Dont think so!
Cheers
