Jinsha (yn 877, 1967), and its sister Dunhuang (yn 876, 1966), were two cargo liners for the China Ocean Shipping.The ships caused a stir at the time because the owners gave out Moa Tse Tungs Little Red book to Doxford employees, had political banners strung from the ships during construction and held at least one workers party in Doxfords shipyard canteen. Both had George Clark Sulzer 7RD76 engines.
I have Jinsha as also being named EMEI but that may not be reliable.
These were almost a Doxford standard design and were nice looking ships
