Makes her 55 years old this year. I'm guessing the oldest gas tanker still afloat. I see she's currently berthed in Malta Freeport.

Hi Matt, read the story about the CV Sea Witch, which suffered a collision in 1973 and was laid up in damaged condition until 1983, when she had been fitted with a new chemical tanker body (not gas). so basically the age is much less impressive than 55 years.
