The new name for the general cargo ship BBC Danube appeared today on the ship's bows and in very large type face. As per my October 15 post, the ship arrived in Halifax on October 9 and its name was painted over along with the "BBC Chartering" wording on the superstructure. This morning the new name began to appear as workers applied the lettering.
By late afternoon the work was nearly completed and workers were dismantling the staging from the port bow as others on shore operated a platform lift on the starboard bow. The ship is due to sail late this evening.
