Channel Notes: Ship appears to have been under a Russian operated company, according to Tradewinds, named Russian Universal Solutions Group, with ships operated under British and German management, one of which was Rostrum Ship Management of London, which was dissolved in March 2025.

This particular ship was attacked by Houthi forces in 2023, which would have been shortly after it was delivered from the shipyard, the vessel suffered no damage in the attack.

Currently the vessel is managed by the companies listed here, with Vogeman given as Commercial Managers and ABV as Technical Managers. The ship is listed on ABV's website. ABV and Vogeman are for all intents and purposes the same company.

All Rostrum named ships are operated under eponymous single company names and under the management of Vogerman.
