I was hoping the Gulf might be one of the 4 by Furness around 1962, in for drydocking but they all had a slotted funnel front and some prominent ventilators by the funnel.
All the Gulf tankers I have found round that period in photos also had an exhaust extension showing.
Possibles are GULF's HANSA, HOLLANDER, SWEDE (not ITALIAN) of 1962 or maybe the older ARCTIC SEA / BERING SEA of 1959.
By the way, that scrapman's hoss will have a long walk back to Hebburn ....
