Thankyou Jadran for your most interesting personal recollections of this vessel as NOVI SAD and for the corrections. I see that she and her sisters are described in detail here:

As I have recently been studying aspects of Yugoslav/Croatian shipping it would be most helpful if you could contact me by email: [email protected]

As a kid of 12 years I had traveled one round trip Rijeka - Ulcinj - Rijeka in duration of 4 days with NOVI SAD in 1962.
On that trip I was guest of the Captain and also shared his Captain's cabin on board the ship during the entire voyage.
At that time NOVI SAD was on regular service called Dužobalna linija ("Along Coastal Line") touching ports Rijeka - Rab - Zadar - Šibenik - Split - Hvar - Korčula - Dubrovnik - Kotor - Ulcinj and vice versa.

Hi Malcolm,, I apologize for recognizing a slight error (Split >> Rijeka) in the Description and maybe should read in its entire:
Jadranska linijska plovidba (JADROLINIJA), Rijeka

Kind regards from Rijeka, Croatia,
Jadran


PS: Thank you very much for posting this fine photograph of PATRIZIA (ex NOVI SAD)

Thankyou Jörg - IMO 5618849 relates to a 1952 built drycargo ship of the same name - the location of where she was built has also been corrected

Correct IMO is 5258482
