Completed in 1959 by J J Sietas Schiffswerft of Hamburg this small reefer was one of three sisters which joined the fleet owned by Heinrich C Horn of Hamburg. Nowadays they would be classed as Reefer-Feeders
Sold in 1969 to French owners she was renamed DONIBANE, a name she retained when in 1979 she was re-registered to other French owners, Socipeche of CIV Abidjan
In 1982 her name changed to URSULA, a name she carried while registered to two further French owners
In 1987 she was sold to R Donnan (Enterprises) Ltd., of Newry, Northern Island, and renamed SOCOMAR. Retaining this name during two more changes of registered ownership at Newry she finally made her way in 1989 to shipbreakers at San Esteban de Pravia, Spain
