H i Joe,
she's BUENAVISTA - imo7104984/ Fred Olsen.

Some additional info about her fate you can find here:

PS: I think, Tomas is wrong. Please count the windows :-x ! Only BUENAVISTA had no Bulleyes under the bridge-peak and she had davits for 4 lifeboats!

Thanks for your help ,lads! I had spotted the different window layout but still thought that she was the Bonanza,as that vessel operated out of San Sebastian.Which was much more familiar territory to me than Northern waters. I cannot fully decipher the info in Faktaomfartyg so cant work out where I would have seen her. One thing I am sure of is that I took the photo between November 1982 and June 1987. On the basis of the davit and window count it has to be the Buenavista

Yep, saw it to late. Not to good a detective, but it was close, hehe! Close but no cigar.

As far as i can see, this is the "bonanza". So it means this shot must have been made between 1972-1980. Nice ship. Here are full history:
