Description:

Hardly recognisable as the Karageorgis multi purpose ship Aristarchos she once was, she was sold to Hansa DDG in 1974 to become Frankenfels. Hansa added a new forbody and rebuilt the bridge section as well. Takenover in 1984 by HAPAG Lloyd Singapore, who renamed her BISCAY. As so many older containerships, she ended up iwth MSC in 2004, who finally sold her to the breakers in 2008.
Here leaving Rotterdam, mid eighties.
