Description:

The FINA BELGICA incoming Europoort around 1985. Built by the Gdynia shipyard as the lead ship of the B557 class, she was ordered by World Wide and to be named World Eagle. At the time demand for tankers was rather sluggish and delays in the construction of the ship made World Wide step out and the ship took the water as the EAGLE, but never traded as such. She was taken over by Petrofina and renamed FINA BELGICA. In 1993 she was taken over by Centrofin and renamed SERENO and later SERENO 2.

In 2006 she was picked up by Zhen Hua, who converted her to one of their container crane delivery ships. She was the number 20. In 2020 she was disposed of but rather then going the scrapyard she was subject to another conversion and fitted with a 2000 ton crane, and employed in the construction of offshore windfarms. In July 2022 , as FU JIN 001, she got caught in a typhoon, broke in two and sank with the loss of 27 lives.
