While at the St. Clair River today I was fortunate and lucky enough to see among one of the ships I saw, the Polsteam Salty the Iryda. As I watched them go upbound, I was very surprised to see that her hull paint scheme was a Blue. It was a bit of a surprise to see that they had a blue hull as I was expecting them to be in a Black hull color instead of the Blue. From pictures I’ve seen on various websites it appears that her Polsteam sisters and fleetmates the Isa, Isadora, Isolda and Irma all have been painted from Blue to Black as I saw the Irma this year and it looked Black. In 2018 I saw the Isadora and her hull color appeared to be and look as though it was Black. Does anyone know just when then the Iryda reverted from Black hull color to Blue or am I missing something here then? If there is anyone that has more input and insight to this along with any further information and even photos to share and add, it would be appreciated. I’ve also noticed and seen that the Lubie another Polsteam salty, in 2021 went from having a black hull scheme to now a blue hull color. It appears and seems that Polsteam is changing their hull colors at times then!
