DR. PETERS GROUP.

The fund vessels show several variations, while many chartered ships carry charterers’ funnels and names, including Hyundai and Front. Cape-named ships generally have buff funnels with the logo on a broad white band edged light blue. Other forms place the logo on plain white, between narrow light-blue bands, in light blue on a broad white band on a light-blue funnel, or in green on a green-based funnel. Early vessels show ordinary light-blue DS letters on black or very dark blue.

DS Performer and DS Power supply the early lettered form. DS Power’s earliest photograph, dated 28 November 2005, is unclear; lettering is confirmed in a photograph posted on 1 July 2006. The base remains uncertain between black and very dark blue. Its owning company was confirmed as DS-Fonds No. 111.

The funnel follows a starboard photograph of DS Accuracy dated 16 January 2010.

DS Blue Ocean was photographed on 2 June 2007, one day after takeover, still carrying RBD Constantia on its bridge board. Rosanoski presumes an earlier black funnel base was subsequently changed to white. DS Wave, in the same fund, also used this form.

DS Blue Ocean’s later form is shown starboard in October 2007 and port-side on 25 September 2010.

The green form follows DS Promoter on 7 August 2013 and DS Warrior on 17 February 2014. An initial theory that it retained Sanko’s funnel with a replaced logo was later doubted: DS Venture appears to show the form first in 2011, followed by DS Promoter and DS Progress in 2012 and DS Warrior in 2013.

Cape Charles and Cape Hatteras show dark yellowish buff, whereas Cape Henry and Cape Spencer show light buff. Apart from these shade differences and a sometimes more bluish panel, Rosanoski regards it as the common Cape-vessel funnel.

DS Vision supplies the funnel, but the band marking is assumed because it is obscured.
