WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
She was completed in 1971 by Swan Hunter at Newcastle for British India Steam Navigation Co and I took this in Glasgow in March 1971 when she was loading for her maiden voyage.
Under the P&O corporate renaming she became STRATHMEIGLE and then went to the Thai flag as KANNIKAR. She was scrapped under that name in 1987.
Two sisters I think were MORVADA and MULBERA.

Spent a lot of time between Australia and Persian Gulf, later extending to N.Z. when given the "Strath" names. Unsure of their trading to Japan.

There is a good chance you did see them in Japan at some stage, I'm sure yr memory is fine.

At some stage will scan and post a slide I took of Strathmeigle sailing Auckland for the Gulf late one evening maybe some 25 years ago now. This was a far more important event for me than the alternative of dinner with the wife's relatives. Still married.

Her sisters were indeed Merkara and Morvada, along with the Manora.
