I refer to the query in the March edition about STRAITS ENTERPRISE and an Elder Dempster crew, I cannot say regarding this but she was built in 1977 and carried that name until 1982, so presumably it happened within that period. Below is what I have on her from my work on Straits SS Co. Ltd.: Owned by Straits Container Line / Straits SS Co. Ltd. In which Ocean Group held a major part. Ocean Group also controlled Elder Dempster, so there is potential that the crew may have been ED STRAITS ENTERPRISE (1977 - 1982) Containership. BENGAL ENTERPRISE (1982- 1984) O.N. 324934. 5,199g. 2,846n. 118.88x17.0x10.22 metres. 7-cyl. 4 SCSA engine by Hitachi Zosen, Hiroshima Works, Inoshima. 6,150 BHR. 23.3.1977: Launched by Hashima Zosen, Imabari, Japan (Yard No. 625) for Straits Container Line Pte. Ltd., Singapore, 6.1977: Completed. 1982: Renamed BENGAL ENTERPRISE. 1984: Transferred to Sharikat Perkapalan Kris Tanah Melayu Ltd.

Yours, etc Thanks Bill, sadly we are none the wiser, but we do have her full career details. Can anyone help us with the original question?
