The 12,660gt reefer Summer Bay of Unicool at Sheerness in 2012. She was built in 1985 by Kurushima at Onishi as the Ellen D. In 1990 she was chartered to Chiquita as Chiquita Baracoa and in 1996 she joined International Reefers as Summer Breeze. In 2000 she was renamed Summer Bay. In 2015 she became Yong Xiang 7 and in 2018 she was broken up at Chattogram. See this month’s Port of Call.
