You forget to mention, 'identical' sisters as well. Why should Sherpa get all the love?! :)

There is a difference with my post and yours. The lowered bridge window isn't there in real life and the missing bridge consoles are there in real life. (duh) ::)

We already have the Fairmount company's consent, I see no reason other than work why we couldn't have my favorite the Fairmount Fuji

Those ships have a different owner now.

Fairmount Marine is now owned by the French firm Louis Dreyfus Armateurs.
