Dear Auke,
I have just hade my daily visit to you excellent website where I can find several vessels that I have worked on.
30 years at sea on mainly ULCC steam turbines and the last 5 years on LNG steam turbine on the old generation.
LNG Bonny and LNG Finima. I have been sailing on several og the Kockums (Sweden) built ULCC for Swedish
former owner Salen. On the pic 2 of Mystery tankers I belive that this is one of the last series built for Norwegian
owner Simonssen. The vessels were delivered but payment was canceled and the vessels were taken over by
the Swedish state controlled shipping owner Zenit. This must be T/T Velma. They had the typical
cockpit bridge design. The only two of 21 built 357 000 Dwt. The later became ZENIT KRAKA and KRAKA.
