Not bad surviving for 53 years of service.

1957 build & bulbous bow... Anybody knows if it has been added later?

A rare occasion to see a bridge-forward tanker these days in any capacity, even if it is her voyage to the breakers. Thanks for the picture!

She has a beautiful profile.

Thank you for the quick and massive response with information, now updated. :-)

Also thank's for noticing I don't change the time zone setting in my camera... ;-)
