Description:
Passing Tilbury downriver 12/5/83
499 grt, built 1972.
One of the commonest vessels on the Thames in the 1970s and 80s, the Sassaby ran almost continuously between Tilbury and Rotterdam with containers. Initially, she was operated by European Unit Routes, a P&O subsidiary, with the distinctive EUR logo on the hull. Later, she ran for Containerlink, as observed here.

Hereby I send some information about the Sassaby. She's since 2003 sailing as Azeza Moon for the same owner. When you give me your emailadress I'll send you a image with new building information.

Thanks for the info. I see what you mean about the similarity with Hugo Peters built vessels, such as the Kiefenberg and Graebe ships, as per John Jones's photo here http://www.shipspotting.com/uploads/photos/87479.jpg
However, as you mention, the Sassaby was definately built in Holland. Unfortunately, I don't have an explanation, but maybe Hugo Peters licensed the building to the Dutch yard using their hull plans.
