Two of them are laid up since a while in Balboa, panama.
they are most probably really the ugliest ships builded ever in a series. I saw some of them often in the Caribbean Sea in the 80,s. on top of the ugly they are also
slow, never saw one making more then 7.5 kn
but they could carry a pretty good load and because of the shallow draft go into ports where other could not. Seems that is still a good advantage. On top of that, also when the cranes seemingly are a misfitt, they can lift together
also quite tonnage, which makes even the small ports independent of shore based cranes. By all that, they were a very successfull class (mini-liners we called them in the Caribbean Isles) however, as ugly as possible.

The hull also looks similar to these specially designed shallow water stone dumper vessels:

There were dozens on these ships, the MINI L's, built late 60s early 70s for Livanos. Designed with very shallow draft and cranes so that they could get to places and unload where other ships couldn't

Really interesting. The cranes look like they are way too big for this vessel.
