As I wrote, it is solely a positioning cargo, meant to get her back to the east coast of Canada, I work for a company associated with this move, and I am quite sure those are her orders.
I am not doubting your knowledge, she can load cereal for repositioning ,I was just stating that she is a very small carrier, we were smaller than her and we loaded cereal products for Montreal back in the 50's. Its that today.s vessels take 4-5 times what they load in a vessel the size of the Dutch Runner. I spoke to the crew of the Dutch Runner a few weeks ago while she was secured at sec 25 in Montreal, they told me they were waiting for orders.
