(5289000 is a much copied error in Miramar - and is in any case an invalid number)
One rare point in memoriam for grosstonnage.com

Built by Götaverken, Göteborg (758) , launched 15/11/1960 & completed 04/1961.
Vessel owned by Gencon Bunkering Services , Saudi Arabia.
Interesting to see that all four lifeboats seem to be unused; also that there is a military Helicopter hovering over the poop deck.
Regards,Rick
