I had attended her arrival at Avonmouth, inbound from Bahrain, on 7th June 1973 and your photograph appears to show her subsequently shifting, possibly into the oil basin in order to free up the berth, whilst she was without power.
Lloyds' Shipping Index reports that she sailed from Avonmouth on 26th June 1973 for Glasgow to load for Kuwait, but the 5th July photo date.does not fit.
