TonyMWeaver Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) 'St Ceclila' has had a name change on Southampton VTS, expect her AIS to show 'Nando Murrau' shortly. Edited April 16, 2019 by TonyMWeaver Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMWeaver Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 AIS on the former 'St Cecilia' has now changed to her new name, 'Nando Murrau'. Link to post Share on other sites
Pigeonrat Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 She'll be off soon then I should think. They certainly clean up well, and seem to stay in better condition under Delcomar - mind you, the weather conditions are a lot kinder down there! I suppose St Faith will end up down there soon enough too, and that'll make me feel old, as I remember her entering service... Link to post Share on other sites

eagleeye Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Changed it today as this morning it read st cecilia.so must be prepping for the big voyage Link to post Share on other sites
The Ferry Man Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Saw Nando Murrau today from the Red Funnel ferry - on the return trip she was smoking from her funnel so assume generators were switched on (wasn't smoking on the outbound trip few hours earlier). Interestingly there is still a remnant of her former name on her bow! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Pigeonrat Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 She looks good! Yes, they've left behind the plastic plaque on the superstructure, I'm sure that will be removed at some point. Mind you, I believe the original names on the Saints were embossed on the bow and stern and are still readable through the white Delcomar paint anyway, so their original names will survive in some form.

The Ferry Man Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Indeed - just had a look and you can still see the name fairly clearly on the bow! Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMWeaver Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If you hover your mouse over the ship on AIS, she's shows up as 'Nando Murrau' but if you click on it, it shows up as 'St Cecilia'. She's not scheduled to leave just yet, she's still being painted internally and having other work done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

seadog Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Maybe better to make her properly sea worthy before a long voyage. Link to post Share on other sites
TonyMWeaver Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) 'Nando Murrau' (former St Cecilia) is scheduled to leave Southampton Water for Sardinia this Wednesday, departure time TBC. Edited June 10, 2019 by TonyMWeaver Link to post Share on other sites

The other two had their aft staircases enclosed before the journey so I imagine this is likely to have happened with the Cecilia. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
