A.O. Jendi / Abdullatif Osman Jendi

J208 is based on starboard and port-side photographs of Letfallah II dated 6 October 2006 and 5 June 2005. It may show a flower with a red centre and orange or light-brown petals, whose colour is uncertain. The ship had that name from July 2003. Donna Khadijeh Shipping was owner and manager from 2001; Al Fahel became manager on 1 April 2003 and Jendi AO registered owner on 24 April. ISM Group became owner and manager in January 2007, followed by Khafaji Shipping as registered owner in May 2011 under ISM management. A 2009 photograph on Khafaji’s website appears to show unchanged markings, prompting Rosanoski to wonder whether the ultimate owner had remained the same.

A port-side photograph of Soumaya J dated 27 May 2007 shows the same funnel, with apparently golden petals. The source identifies this vessel by IMO 7217016, with that name from February 2003 and Miraj from December 2006. Equasis records Jendi FO [sic] as owner in 2003 under Aalaae Shipping management, then F. Osman in December 2004 with Phoenicia Maritime, and Mariposa Maritime in January 2007 with ISM Group. As Miraj the logo was removed. Rosanoski infers retention of the old name and funnel through the 2004 sale and questions the 2007 dates. This is a different vessel from Hamzah Shipping’s similarly named ship; their “J” logos suggest a possible connection but do not establish it.
