I can't imagine the jumbled together hull of this vessel was built like this intentionally - so i would put my bet on a conversion into a container ship. The superstructure looks like she has a additional training wheelhouse or maybe this was part of a conversion. Ideas anyone?

Inspired by the Blohm und Voss design from the late sixties,
https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/3219482?navList=gallery&imo=6915506&page=1&viewType=normal&sortBy=newest

She was actually lengthened in 1974, and from the looks of it, they may have considered a gantry crane, but I have not seen pictures fitted with one. The extra bridge floor is probably required to keep visibility acceptable with higher stowed containers.

but my original question remains : What did she it...the bow did not look like on most pictures around....

It has nothing to do with the Blohm&Voss design, they just wanted to get the container-fit width.

This is how she looked as built:

Hi Manfred: I knew how the ship looked before, I got a colour version of your shot, which actually shows her carrying containers. So what was the purpose of the hull change? Did they want an additional row? The shape of the hull reminded me of the B&V ships, to quote Denis: "ugly"

Those angular sponsons are for having additional row of container stacks on deck at either side & thus giving buoyancy & maybe being wing tanks too.

Many thanks for the replies Gentlemen!
As i have seen on the fotoflite-picture, it was quite a nice vessel when built.
@Pieter: Unfortunately I don't know where she buckled her nose either.
All the best,
Stefan
