Description:

Russian ore carrier DAGESTAN is here seen departing Rotterdam in April 1983.
She was built 1962 by Warnowwerft, Warnemünde for USSR-Murmansk Shipping Co. This yard built a total of 15 vessels of this type for the Soviet Union, their names all started with the letter D.

End of this vessel is a bit unclear to me. Miramar say that engine was removed in 1985, and vessel broken up in Lisboa in 9/1988.
Starke/Schell give her end as: Deleted from registers 1988.
And one source say she was broken up in Turkey in 1987.

Regarding the final fate of the ship, I think the Miramar option comes closest to the truth. FleetPhoto reports her as being in use in Lissabon (storage hulk) probably since 1985, when she left the Russian Register, and scrapped there during September 1988,

Thanks Pieter, I think you are correct, the report from FleetPhoto seem very detailed. Very often I see that various sources have different information about vessel's fate, it's very frustrating.

The ship is general cargo carrier and not ore carrier because she has cranes on her deck. Ore carriers don't have cranes, just holds.

Smaller ore carriers did sometimes have cranes, just to be able to load or discharge in ports without any shore based facilities.
