Hi
I am wondering if anyone can assist here!
This is a name on a Ship but it isn't Pedo as it may look.
The one letter (third looks like a D but is it?) NO I DONT THINK SO ,SO DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL LETTER IS AND WAHT LANGUAGE IS IT IN? ???
Thanks in advance appreciated any good answers! :)
Regards
-
Could be a Cyrillic D, which would make the P an R
Don't know a Redo word though which says more of my Russian vocab rather than whether the word exists
-
Will have a look and see if any such Ship name comes up!
Thank you for trying!
-
In the same place that you found that name, did you also find its Port of Registration, such as Gdansk, Murmansk, Alexandria, Liverpool etc?
Or do you know which flag she flies?
Could the name translate as "Peter"
-
There is no info on the Picture at all!
So am flummoxed ! No flag Flying even >
What can you make of it??
Cheers and thanks !
-
Don't know if its a General cargo, Coaster,Oil Carrier or what!??
What Canal is that I wonder! Where! Oh so many whats and wheres! LOL ;)
Cheers

No SMOKING is visible in English language.
-
Yes I saw that but not helping at all!! Grrrr!
-
Try changing the title as above. In the style of "Where am I"
-
PEQO?

Interestingly, there is a REDO, a chemical carrier, but it looks to be a different ship. :-\

Yes seen that one too! Cheers Will keep trying!
-
That ship looks more like a Trawler.
There is a flag, but with no wind blowing it is hanging limp. ;D
-
Trying all avenues thanks !
-
Too large for a Trawler me thinks,and the Decks are not made for Fish dropping !
More either General Cargo or Coaster,or some kind of Chemical Carrier!????
Just my thoughts ! again Grrrrrr! Its driving me nuts! ???
-
MY OH, who knows a bit about Cyrillic languages, says it's REDO and might be Bulgarian. The name REDO can be found in Bulgaria.

I wonder if it could be an oil industry Support Vessel? For Off shore Oil rigs.

Despite the apparent joining bar across the bottom of the "mystery" letter,I wonder if it is a form of "N",making it PENO.
It may be total coincidence but there is a shipping company(Chinese?) of that name,and "googling" for
images,the first that comes up is here(maybe the colours are the company livery!)

What date do you think the photo as taken?
-
No doubt in my mind that it's in the Cyrillic alpahabet, and should be transliterated "REDO".
I've also found another picture of her at
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1554822
More info can be found by searching for her by name, or with the identification number IMO 5424990. It seems she typically plies around the Baltic, and round Norway to Murmansk, so the location of the photo seems likely to be in that area.

Hi,
The ship is the REDO, a Russian flagged Asphalt/Bitumen carrier, built 1963. The IMO is 5424990.

Rest?? ;D ;D Mad Mack! Don't you realise that however exciting a new find is - it always creates loads of new Questions!! It's so hard to turn your brain off!! Good luck!!
Isn't this community a wonder at creating new questions for us?
Fortunately though, also a wonder at giving us answers and pointing us in the right direction!!
So enjoy your rest while you can!!
Cheers

There is an image of this ship at www.photoship.co.uk showing her as REDO-01 (the 01 refers to first ship image with this name). It appears to show the ship with a Finnish flag and the letters FES in white on a blue funnel.
