BALCHART EESTI OU.

B905

Porhov and Roel are recorded with plain white funnels. Roel appears in that condition in a photograph dated 10 August 2006 after carrying charterers’ colours in 2005; Porhov later received Keystone Logistics’ logo. Rosanoski suggests that plain white may represent the company colours when no other markings are supplied.

This corroborates the 2001 company described in part of the archive, while the archive also reports a 1993 formation and several Balchart group affiliates. The earlier Balchart Estonia identity and full fleet continuity remain unresolved.
