Hi Malcolm
I find a GRANIKOS photo as RINGULV
http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/gallery/data/510/Ringulv.jpg
her masts different
But hull and accommodation same.
i dont know maybe masts changed ?
(There are 2 air fans with round cover on bow of mystery ship. .
and same round covers on Ringulv's bow mast?)

(i find another Kieler Howaldtswerke built in 1960
KALLIXENOS (ex Ermis,Alkman) but renamed to Arion in 1980 ,no photo
for compare and name a little longest.)

best regards
ilhan

Hello Brian

I believe this ship to be GRANIKOS, built 1961 and owned by Pappis - the P on the funnel was the clue to identifying her - she sailed from Singapore on March 8th 1984, purportedly returning to Liverpool but in fact was heading for Chinese breakers

It would be good to meet up if you are ever in Liverpool - my office e-mail address is [email protected]

best regards. Malcolm Cranfield

Hi Brian, it is a Greek vessel, I guess built in the late 60s, the name ends with ___ios.
The rest of the name is not visible. But the shape is not familiar to me.
If you put the vessel in the mystery ship category, more people weil have a look on it.
Regards
Gerolf
