The ship was delivered on 26.06.1969 as "Kopalnia Kleofas" to Polish Steamship Company, by Nakskov Shipyard.
Already three months later she was back in Nakskov for damage repair. In September she had collision near Fehmarn with Panama-flagged "Tiger", which in turn was damaged so hard, that had to be considered as total loss. The damage extent of "Kopalnia Kleofas" can be seen here:

The repaired area seems to be still recognizable, right under the superstructure, in this series of nice pictures by Gerolf.
