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!)

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
