Vessel Description

SKY LIGHT is a small general cargo vessel built in 1978, operating under the Tanzanian flag. With a gross tonnage of 1,598 GT and a deadweight of approximately 2,362 DWT, she is typical of the aging short-sea and coastal cargo fleet operating along the East African coastline. The vessel services regional trade routes along the Indian Ocean coast, primarily operating between Tanzanian ports and neighboring East African destinations. As an older vessel constructed in the late 1970s in Japan, she reflects the class of small general cargo ships commonly employed in regional coastal trade throughout the East African maritime corridor.
