and the Neuenburg was alitle different as she had on the back of the forecastle 2 cranes and also heavy lift booms which the Freedeburg/Muggenburg did not have. The both were long time in Lloyd Brasiliero charter, the Freedeburg was there the Lloyd Estocolmo, do not remember the name of the Muggenburg in that charter.

Freedeburg , Muggenburg and Neuenburg. They were all operated by Reederei Barthold Richter in Hamburg and owned bei Reederei Eugen Friedrich,Bremen which actually operated them again in 1978-79 until they were sold. I sailed on the Freedeburg and the Neuenburg, which were then named Roland Atlantic and Roland Pacific
