Hi Denis, am sorry for the delay, just read your comment, as this ship was discussed in a german maritime Facebook group today. Member Ernst Schulz gave this answer: The heavy loads derrick was a swing-through loader, "Flender" type....normal 60 to Wish you all the best Tschüss Dierk

Thanks!

Thanks Pieter, It's very faded but will have a go

Thanks Robert, make a scan of the picture you have, increase the contrast and it may be publishable...

Nice photo Pieter.

I have a faded photo of her as JUNO wearing the colours of Dart Container Line when new in 1969.

Typ Rendsburg. 5034gt, yn661. Sank 19.03.1993 in position 24.24N 119.33E in way Bangkok - Namo. Cran worked as Stulcken. rgds

Apart from this being a great shot of an interesting vessel, I wonder how did they make the heavy lift derrick to serve the forward hold? Was it being put in nearly vertical position & then rotated on 180 degrees or the derrick was simply "falling" to the other side like a Stuelcken one?
