Thanks for posting! Very interesting to see this ship in such a good shape. She is almost identical to the four ships built by Deutsche Werft A.G., Hamburg-Finkenwerder for Sloman (SLOMAN MESSINA/VALENCIA/PALERMO/ALGIER. They were eqipped with twin 2SA 6Cy. MAN diesel engines rated at 1.200bhp each, geared to sc.shaft.

NORRLAND (yard no. 759) was built in 1951 by Stuelcken-Werft, Hamburg (not Blohm & Voss), together with sister SVEALAND (yard no. 758) for Mathies-Reederei, Hamburg. They where part of the reconstruction program of the postwar german merchant navy, with restrictions in GRT, length, engine etc and developed on basis of the (pre)war-HANSA-program. To be compared with sister SVEALAND: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1681840
Hope this may assist. Regards Peter
