Description:

Malta-flagged NEW HOPE is here seen at Philadelphia in April 1984.
This bulker was built 1962 by Nippon Kokan, Tsurumi / Yokohama, and was of 40 753 t.dw.

Her history:
1962: Delivered as JESPER MÆRSK (Denmark)
1965: MARCHEN (Denmark)
1973: SOTIR (Greece)
1983: KIKKOS I (Cyprus)
1984: NEW HOPE (Malta)
28.06.1984: Arrived at Beilungang, China, for demolition. (So it did not help her with a new, optimistic name in 1984).
Maybe it was start of her last voyage to breakers when I photographed her at Philadelphia?

Hi Arne, indeed not unlikely that this is about the last shot of her before meeting the torch.
