also Gdańsk Shipyard delivered ships for Shipping Corporation of India - namely, six vessels of type B-343.
The ships had length of 161,6 m, beam 22,9 m, ca. 16000 DWT and 400 TEU container capacity.
9900hp Sulzer provided speed of 15,5 kn. For some reason, they were delivered with two types of cranes:
- four vessels with Hägglunds' cranes;
- two vessels with apparently heavier cranes of other maker (Krupp? I can't figure it out, although the logo is visible).
These two vessels were later rebuilt to full container ships and after some time even lengthened by three 20ft. bays.
I guess that moderate speed made them suitable only for secondary or feeder duty.

Having different layout of superstructure and holds (three, equally long Holds. Nos. 2 to 4, each for 60ft. of containers),
and a bit smaller dimensions, the ships were still looking quite similar to Chipolbrok's B-348 class "Parandowski".
