Orient Star.
In the year that this image was captured (2007) the General Cargo ship Orient Star was detained in Spain because she was considered sub standard, the crew had not been paid and the owners had failed to supply food for the 19 crew. The 2057 Gross Ton Orient Star was built in Germany in 1971, was Registered in Sierra Leone and when I saw her was berthed in the Spanish Port of Vigo. Internet information (2023) indicated that she was decommissioned (probably scrapped) sometime after 2007.
