My thoughts also, the picture is only part of the story. My data source was Marine News and Lloyds Register + Shipping Index, and researched / recorded in pre-Miramar days. Happy to add data when opportunity arises. Hope someone posts a colour shot of this one, they loo good in the green such as the Mogamisan Maru:

Nice ships, but probably losing money at the time.

@P.F. Keer, because possibly some people, including me, like to see this site (also) develop as a kind of illustrated Miramar...

IMO5031884, completed April 1952 at the Tamano yard of Mitsui Zosen for Mitsui Line and looks to be in the green colours. 1964 to MOL and then sold in 1975 r/n Eurystehli, then Poheng. Deleted from registers in 1998/9, but thought to have been broken up in China in 1978, arriving there from her last reported position in Mauritius.
