She was jumboised to make her more that 600,000 tonnes but they never upgraded her steering so in bad weather she was unsteerable in autopilot. The big Esso ones (Atlantic and Pacific) were much better. They were designed to be fast by the standards of the class. 15 knots loaded and 18 in ballast. 200 tonnes a day of fuel though. Used to take bunkers in 20,000 tonne parcels. "Green" they were not. 2 or 3 times was along side jahre wen she become storage with 300 000 vlcc, we were so small compare to her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was her last cargo op before she went for scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
