TonyMWeaver Report post Posted April 27 AIS on the former 'St Cecilia' has now changed to her new name, 'Nando Murrau'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pigeonrat Report post Posted April 27 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... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ferry Man Report post Posted May 6 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pigeonrat Report post Posted May 7 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 Report post Posted May 10 Indeed - just had a look and you can still see the name fairly clearly on the bow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMWeaver Report post Posted June 9 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seadog Report post Posted June 10 Maybe better to make her properly sea worthy before a long voyage. Quote Share this post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
