Here is the FarCenturion pictured working out in Brazil in 2005. I am minded to post it because just the other day the wreck of the sister ship, then named Ramco Crusader, was recovered, having caught fire and sunk in 2013. These two ship are just a bit historic. They were the second and third ME303s built in Korea for Seaforth and entered service in 1983. The first of the class to be constructed had been rejected by its Norwegian buyers and entered service as the Star Orion. Star having bought it for a bargain price. These vessels were not without problems but were still the super ships of their day.
