Description:

Fifth in the series of Kuwait Class general cargo ships built on the Clyde and also in Korea.
IBN HAYYAN was completed in 1975 and this shot was taken when she was returning from trials.
Moored across on the opposite bank at the Scotstoun Marine yard is the reefer LOCH LOMOND fitting out and the bow of her sister LOCH MAREE can also be seen on the building berth.
Apart from a renaming to TRIDENT BEAUTY for charter purposes, IBN HAYYAN remained with the same company later the United Arab Shipping Co. and was scrapped in August 2000.
LOCH LOMOND and LOCH MAREE have also been scrapped in 2000 and 2006 respectively.

Good photo Paul - The "K" Class , as you know, were Govan designed but, even though the ships were like "two peas in a pod" (except of course those without the "Jumbo") there was a marked difference in the "finish" between the Govan built and the Ulsan jobs. Always felt the Govan built had that slightly better machining and welding for a start. Fairly revolutionary when built and kept quite a lot of British officers employed, thankfully. Good liner ships but not good for bulk cargoes. Those twin hatches are, were and always will be a nuisance for such cargoes. Hate twin hatches with a vengeance :-D Finally when a fair number were time-chartered out and re-named "Trident" etc., the company whom took them on for , I think 2 years, was Gulf Shipping , alias Abel Gokal of Bank of Credit and Commerce fame or notoriety ;-)

My recollection at the time was that Govan would have gotten the bulk of a 45-ship order if they
could build the fist 6 to schedule. As a result
Hyundai ( or high-n-dry )shipyards got the rest.

IBM Hayyan may have been the first cargo ship through the Suez canal when it re-opened, IIRC.
