She was, along with her four (?) sisters, the biggest ship built in Europe after the 499,000 dwt NANNY built at Uddevannavarvet, Sweden in 1978.
To admins: While copyright is important I do not think we should be too worried about posting pictures like this, provided the picture is ole (20 years or more) and cannot reasonably have any commercial value to the original photographer today.

In fact there were four vessels scheduled to be built.
Sister vessel is Vassiliki Colocotronis.
