Container Ship ‘Valdivia’

Does anyone know what this vessel is doing in Antwerp? She has been here for about three weeks now and very little seems to happen (apart from the odd paint job). Did a little search on the Internet Ships Register and according to their info the vessel is currently owned by P Dohle. Is she changing ownership or maybe waiting for cargo?

Who can provide more information!
According to http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=147772 there seems to be some confusion about its identity:

Taking a closer look at the photo provided by shipspotting, the vessel appears identical.
Unfortunately, I also noticed the ship in Antwerp for weeks, without any visible activity. It left the downtown riverbanks a couple of days ago.
Hi,
The vessel has indeed left Antwerp. No idea where she went though.
I had a look at the shipspotting picture but it is not the same vessel.
The VALDIVIA is managed by Peter Doehle (see: http://www.doehle.de/ships/ships_short_description.php?file=/ships/ships_selectmask.php&letter=V&art=c&id=336). No further info available.
Anyone from Doehle reading this
The Valdivia was in Seaforth Dock Liverpool yesterday, 14 March 2008, unloading and loading containers. I am not sure as to her destination, but she departed late yesterday.
