Suresh Ramasubramanian It's a break bulk ship - a large container vessel for shipping extra large or awkwardly sized cargo like coal / fertilizer / oil pipes etc Built in 1978 and has seen real hard use every day it's been in service as far as I can see from googling out the marine registry
Length / tonnage? Large cargo ships are worth a million or two in "bulk" just for the raw steel, as long as it's not too rusted. The dismantling of these (they beach full-speed at high-tide on the highest tide of the month) is one of these areas where the boundary between work and slavery is not completely clear. Michel.
