New ship: MV Fedra

This new ship is a large bulk carrier based on the real MV Fedra vessel. The MV Fedra was a spanish manufactured (AESA company) bulk ship run under liberian flag. The ship was known because of the accident she had on October 10th 2008, in Europa Point (Gibraltar), where she crashed against the coast after loosign anchorage because of 12 Beaufort scale heavy winds.
