10 near sisters of this Typ 63 were built, but the only real sister with the same cargo gear is ASHDOD, IMO 7000255:

APUS was laid down and launched as DAHLID for Zim Israel Nav. Co., Haifa as a sister to ASHDOD but for some reason they retracted the order.

During 1970 Sietas built at least six more ships of this size, but you are right, she is not represented here.
