Apologies for the late response. I acknowledge it is after COB 9th August.

However, during the period we were trying to contact Tanzania (Zanzibar). They have just confirmed to me that the vessel has been registered under Tanzania (Zanzibar) since July 2024.

I have updated the record, with new owners, today. The IMO GISIS website should refresh and reflect those changes by EOD tomorrow.
