WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
In the years abt. 1976-78 I shot this picture in Bogen, the Northern lay up harbour in Holmestrand, Norway. Most probably these are the ships: Sevonia Team, Anglia Team, Britta, Scandia Team, Intisar, Modena and Northern Arrow waiting for new jobs.
There is no Ship Data available for this photo!
Would you like to suggest new Ship Data?
This ship is not assigned to any other category.
COMMENT THIS PHOTO(7)
Just checked in "ANL - A Fleet History of the Australian National Line 1957-1999", published 2020, and found that two of their unsuccessful "P"-Class ore carriers were laid up and frozen -in at Holmestrand.
The "AUSTRALIAN PURPOSE", after completion by Gotaverken Oresundsvarvet AB was laid up from some time in 1977 until being commissioned in 2/1979.
The "AUSTRALIAN PROGRESS", after completion by Blohm & Voss A.G., was laid up from about January 1978 until being commissioned in 2/1979.
So, not the "AUSTRALIAN PIONEER".
There's a photo in the book showing "AUSTRALIAN PROGRESS" frozen in at Holmestrand between three of the grey hulled Libyan tankers.

Should read "SEVONIA TEAM" (IMO: 7336410) and "ANGLIA TEAM" (IMO:7226873)
I can't find a"BRITTA" or a "MODENA" to match with any of these vessels.

The three Libyan tankers (blue funnel) could be Elfwaihat, Elgurdabia and Elhani, which were all three laid up on delivery in 1976 and commissioned in 1981.
The stand alone tanker is a Gotaverken built 154000 DWT ship, and could be one of the Karagageorgis ships (logo missing on the funnel) or the Archontas, (again logo missing) delivered in 1976, also laid up and delivered in 1981.
