Bulker ARNAKI seen at shipyard Viktor Lenac, Rijeka, Croatia after accomplished extensive repairs while vessel being afloat along workberth, April 1996;
Owner Cardiff Marine Inc, Athens, Greece;
ARNAKI in greek language means LITTLE LAMB,, a much interesting/unusual name for a panamax size bulker of DWT 81,881 tons;

It is also interesting, that now in 2015, this is the first photograph on the site of this ship with the name ARNAKI, and moreover, the first photograph of this ship which was built yet in 1974 (before 41 years)

With reference to the "car" on the steep hill slope, I only now recognize what model it is:
It's a Citroen Ami 8; AMI in French language means FRIEND hehehe

Thank you for your "last minute" comment my dear friend Jim, ami......

@ Gianpaolo,, thank you very much for the additional information;
Tanti belli auguri per Natale e felice Anno Nuovo
Cordiali saluti da Fiume (Rijeka)
Jadran

PS:
Yes Gianpaolo, and I fully agree with you... this bulker & her sisters were indeed a nice looking bulkers at their time when built (at the Italian shipyard ! ) ;
I also notice,, that this bulker has a rather high accommodation block ( 7-tiers) for a bulker ship of DWT 81.881 tons,, inside the accommodation block had been installed a lift/elevator from the level of the navigation bridge to the level of the engine room lower entrance

@ Patagualino

In conclusion:
The issue of the ship's name(s) is resolved & definitely closed, while the issue of the "car" remains still open !

Thank you Patagualino for helping me to come to the above stated conclusion;
Best regards from Rijeka, Croatia

Interesting theories on the naming of this vesssel.
(As for the car: An over-enthusiastic ship spotter? Hope he/she survived the experience.)

Thank you Acrop very much,, now I well understand the connection between the 2 names of this ship... however, still to me, they are being very weird names for a bulker ship !
Even the staff at the Cardiff Marine office ( I was there as VLS representative) told me that the name ARNAKI is certainly the weirdest name in the fleet among other "exotic" names of their ships...

Clyde, thank you very much for your kind comment & compliment for my scanning work !
I have recognized by now,, that the quality of the scan is very much depending on the quality of the scanned hard copy photograph i.e. how the hard copy photograph is originally processed from the negative/slide... to say in other words,, it depends on how much care is put into processing of the original hard copy photograph, what kind of hard paper is used, as well as the quality-finish to the hard copy photograph that depends of the particular place/processing individual i.e. at which Photo shop had the hard copy photograph been processed !
Hope this explanation might help the site members with their expectations when scanning hard copy photographs;
Remaining with kind regards,
Jadran

PS: Scans from hard copy photographs can not be in any case compared in quality to scans from the negatives/slides which appear much, much better in all aspects !
I have plenty & plenty of negatives/slides at home but unfortunately I don't know how to scan them (have not even tried,, my fault !!)

As I said, "The STRIGGLA which became ARNAKI" i.e. the bitch which became good and calm as a little lamb.... The Shakespeare's novel title in Greek..

Jadran, you are getting better and better at scanning old photos from your archives. As the site saying goes "Thank you for sharing"

Hi Acrop,, the previous name STRIGGLA sounds also weird for a 81,881 tons bulker (the superintendent onboard told me it means WITCH; can you please confirm if this translation is correct); regards (J)

George Economou, the owner, simply played a little bit with the name of the vessel having Shakespeare in his mind. The previous name of the vessel was STRIGGLA (under Cardiff Tankers/Economou again) and owner just changed name to ARNAKI i.e. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW or in greek "η στριγγλα που έγινε αρνάκι"!

@ csaba and Emmanuel ... hmmm the both options are in the "game",, I really don't know, but I think it might have been a bit difficult to 'dump' the car on that place (however, many accidents had previously happened, before properly securing that dangerous curve on the road, when cars flew from the road on that particular place down the steep hill) :-))


PS: I sincerely apologize to all the members of the site for my placed first comment (which I believe is of an additional interest apart from the ship),, please be so kind to accept my apology;
Now... let's make a few comments about the "nice little" ARNAKI (please be kind to read my Description above).......

Could have been dumped, because if it was an accident it would have been recovered. regards.

I saw that car just before reading your comment and thinking how to hack did it get there. Wander if the occupants survived?
