Beautiful, clean capture of clean lines :) In addition to B-41 series of general cargo ships:

Polish Ocean Lines ordered in Denmark next three ships based on the same concept, also for India lines.
Main particulars were similar, although the forecastle was shortened and superstructure raised by one deck.
Two vessels (including locally manufactured B&W main engines) were built at Elsinore Shipyard:

382 WESTEPLATTE, IMO 6725092, 1967;

383 GRUNWALD, IMO 6807163, 1968;

Third vessel was built at Nakskov Shipyard, with Sulzer main engine delivered by Cegielski.
Website arkiv.dk provides more photos of building process and sea trials.
