ahoo If you have the time, do pay a visit and it will be cool ! The older vessel was not fitted air-cont and it was a sweaty affair then. This one I was told recently by a family friend on board (Dr Moses Lee, a retired medical doctor serving on board with his wife) that it is fully air-cont.
It will be in Port Klang after Penang if I'd heard it correctly. He was also the head of home fellowship in FGA KL years ago before he went to Russia to serve as missionary doctor with his wife too.
