Thanks both Mr. Link and Mr. Lafferty as that’s just what I was looking for and more from both you guys! You two are the best and at the top of my list when it comes to any type of questions or information. Thanks again to both Mr. Link and Mr. Lafferty again for your help as I appreciate your help and info.

Mr. Link is correct. Launched 16 January 1998 at Akitsu, Japan, by Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd., hull number 2965, as Asia Cement No. 7 for U-Ming Transportation Corporation, Keelung, Taipei. It was built as a dedicated limestone carrier.
