To Jadran,
Thanks for your "deep in" story of this vessel and the JUGOLINJA. Passenger service without any hope to compete with airlines. I reckon.
I remember one of the very big 5 o (6?) hatches general cargo vessels of JUGOLINJA berthed here in Palma de Mallorca next to the Club De Mar unloading timber. She must have been one of the last general cargo vessels using that berth. She had the yellowish JUGOLINJA livery. Very "llamativo" (using a spanish expression)hull colour. That must have been in the early/mid 90ties? All gone....
Thanks again and regards from the western med to the adriatic sea
Jürgen

@ Jurgen (Pica)
I will try to give an explanation regarding this ship that was built originally for the shipping company Jugolinija, Rijeka in 1966 and named ZVIR :-)
Jugolinija built this ship as a general cargo/passenger liner for the regular service Rijeka – North America – Rijeka (the round-trip lasted for abt 45 days; speed 18-19 knots).
Her regular route that she serviced was: Rijeka – Venice – (Messina) – (Livorno) – Genoa – New York – (Boston) – Philadelphia – Baltimore – Norfolk – New York – Tangier – Genoa – Rijeka.
For the number of 50 passengers were available 2 classes of accommodation onboard:
The First class & the Tourist class;
It is much interesting to also mention, that on the route New York – Tangier the passengers' capacities were always fully 100% occupied on the ship.


And one more thing to tell you Jurgen ..... you should have seen this ship painted in her original Jugolinija's livery: the very much distinctive light yellow colour of her hull with the dark-blue letters of the company name JUGOLINIJA painted on the hull sides ... how BRILLIANT she was looking at that time !!!

Kind regards
Jadran

Indeed a beauty of a ship!!!
Why did she have such a big passenger capacity? What run was she built for?

Yes, yes, Jadran... nearly all ("big") vessels I like from that era have at least one HLD... otherwise, no HLD - no deal! :D

@ Denis
Please also notice the HLD on her third bipod mast (that is the reason I like 'heavy lift derricks' from the very beginning ..... at that time we did 1x load test 45 tons of that HLD while the ship was being at Boston, USA )

This ship was originally built for the shipping company Jugolinija, Rijeka and had the name ZVIR.

ZVIR was the last built in the series of 4 ships;
Indeed beautiful ships,, 4 sisters:
Visevica, Tuhobic, Klek, Zvir
DWT 10,451 tons
50 passengers

Btw, I sailed 1 voyage Rijeka – North America – Rijeka in 1967 on ZVIR as "School boy on practice" and was onboard the ship having the "Seaman Book".

Kind regards
Jadran

Lovely curves, bipods, smooth "melting" accommodation... a handsome ship!
I see most of the beautiful ships I like from that 50s-60s era come from Croatian, Russian & especially German shipbuilders.
