CONTI REEDEREI.

A photograph of Conti Arabian confirms the funnel.

Mitchell’s funnel is not supported by any of his three line drawings.

Alpine Athelia at Port Botany on 29 April 2012 had dark-blue bands and letters probably of the same colour, though possibly black. Similar markings appear on Conti bulkers, including Conti Pyrit. Distant sunlit photographs suggest blue letters matching the hull, but no close view established the colour. Rosanoski considers the marking likely to distinguish ships on Conti business from those in charters or pools.
