On 1 April 1973, spearheaded by Oetker’s DLL, the operations of the two competing groups were merged under a single umbrella organisation named Deutsche Nah Ost Linie (DNOL). This organisation then served the trade to Levant with ships owned or operated by its shareholders, supplemented by chartered-in vessels.
Between 1951 and 1953, Bock, Godeffroy & Co. took delivery from Flenderwerke Lübeck of four new ships named Athen, Galata, Libanon and Cairo. In June 1956, Rudolf A. Oetker took complete ownership of Bock,Godeffroy & Co., the DLL trade name and its six ships. Galata, delivered on 20 May 1952, was in 1971 sold to Colocotronis with a charter back to Oetker and in April 1974 renamed Patras.
