COMMENT THIS PHOTO(6)
By the way, the twin-funneled oil tanker in the middle of the picture looks like it could have been built by Uljanik in former Jugoslavia during the 70s. Any thoughts on this?

The vessel nearest us is the 275.000 dwt Sumitomo-built VLCC "Svelvik", owned by Polys Haji-Ioannou and managed by Bergshav in Norway:

The vessel on the other side of "Kanchenjunga" is the 392.000 dwt. ULCC "Jahre Venture", built at AG Weser at "Ioannis Colocotronis". She was maneged by Jahre Dahl Bergesen of Norway and owned by Polys Haji-Ioannou. If you look closely, you can see that she has three longitudal bulkheads (i.e. four tanks side by side), which was only found in this series of ULCCs from AG Weser and the 507.000 dwt ULCCs "Esso Atlantic" and "Esso Pacific" built at Hitachi in 1977:

I am still working on the fourth vessel (behind "Jahre Venture").

Apart from the other VLCCs/ULCCs mentioned here, no others were sold into Bangladesh in the period leading up to 9/2000.
