Turns out she was quite a regular trader to the Tees ports as I saw her twice in Tees Dock on different dates to Mick.
Tees Dock - 22 June 1975: and on 16 January 1977: She was also seen in Hartlepool on 19 June 1977:
I had also seen her under her original name of NORDLAND (Norway).
Eston Jetty - 13 June 1968: and coming out of Smith's drydocks on 31 July 1969: Ron

Albert Weller slide, Tees Dock, dated circa July 1975: Ron

50 YEARS AGO TODAY seen as the NORDLAND coming out of Smith's Drydocks - 31 July 1969, as above.

As I recall this was the first of my photos to ever appear in print, I think it was MARINE NEWS when the ship was sold.
