ALEKSANDR ULYANOV (was Russian ship in Middlesbrough Dock)

An unidentified slide taken by Albert Weller in Middlesbrough Dock.

Posting merely for interest as I don't think we will be able to discover her actual identity.
For what it is worth, I think she is one of the quite numerous NOVO class vessels of around 9150gt built in the late 1960s/early 1970s.

Yes but most of them had deck cranes but not the big derrick.
One that is a good match is ALEKSANDR ULYANOV, 1970, 9812grt from Warnowwerft and the name seems to be about this length, but have not looked for others.
Photo in Photoship but had a black hull then.

OOOOOHHHH! From Russia with love on Valentine's Day. Give that man a big box of chocolates!!!

See, it takes only someone a bit (just a bit) younger than me, with a better memory than me, who knows more about ships than me, to solve a seemingly impossible puzzle.
