Northern Shipyard from Gdansk delivered these two livestock carriers, named after devils (perhaps because of anticipated characteristic smell :)
For ten years Polish Steamship Co. used them to transport mostly horses, but cargo lists showed also the cattle, sheep, pigs and... turtles!
Later they had no employment and, after short term charter, they were sold to Dignity Maritime Co. (Cyprus).
