did 6 months on this one, brought her out of lay up from Brunei Bay. Beautiful ship for a tanker, not such a nice chief engineer I worked with.

They originally had green hulls and yellow funnels and I always think lost something when Shell changed them. However, still stylish ships in an age when ships still had looks.

My time on her was when she was in North Sea on Brent Spar / sullom voe runs

1983 - what a heap she was. I suppose if you were on her when she was new then she would have been lovely.

having been on BP ships of same vintage they were technologically ahead and far better accommodation.

Trouble is they stayed with same technology for the next 30 years............

Could be worse I recall surveying a Rowbothams tanker that was described in nautical journals on launch in the 80s as "a ship that has put back British ship building 20 years" LOL

I was on the Serenia only for a month sailing out of Teesport to the Brent Oil Field. Not my best experience. This was the last trip I ever did.

I had a great four weeks on her over Christmas/New Year 1978/79. I think my liver has now recovered!
