Yeah Mike I think that was the plan by McKeil Marine was to have the Roman run until the Ardita is converted over to a cement ship. If I recall, I believe the Ardita was also supposed to re-flagged as well until the conversion is completed. Just to let others know as well, I think the Roman now is being run by McKeil Marine this year whereas in the past it was run I think by Essroc Canada. I would think the Roman should have a new stack on her this season as well correct? What about the billboard lettering on her side as that says Essroc on it. Will these letters get painted out and replaced by McKeil Marine maybe? Perhaps maybe at some point they will put McKeil on its sides or McKeil Marine. Any information is appreciated here. Thanks in advance.

Was the Ardita that sat in Hamilton for months not to be converted to a cement carrier and run by McKiel to replace the Roman, so possibly they will run the Roman till the conversion is complete!

Anyone know who the skipper is and what company is managing her now.
