MV pacific Ocean

Hi
I am an Ex Engineering Officer Merchant Navy, the first ship I sailed on was the MV Loch Long which was the Ex Pacific Ocean owned by Tirfing Sweden. Her and her sister ship MV Atlantic Ocean both reefers, were built in Landskrona in 1962/63 for their high speed pacific/atlantic runs on citrus fruit and meat from Australia to US.
The Pacific Ocean was purchased by Denholm Ship Management in Glasgow Scotland then sold onto Greek shipping interests renamed the Poros and subsequently sold for scrap!!!!!
Regards Doug
