Actually,she is in the colours of PANOCEAN shipping management (P.O.) but owned at the time by OCEAN TRANSPORT & TRADING,Liverpool(Blue Funnel line).tThey also owned the Pass of Dirriemore (1975) in the same pool of ships.
OCEAN in turn had taken over CORY MARITIME (Cory)who also ran the other PASS tankers Pass of Balhama (1975),Pass of Brander (1975),Pass of Cairnwell (1970) & Pass of Glenclunnie (1963).
Vey complex and a long way from the original BULK OIL days,-a minefield for Shipping enthusiasts !!

Thank you very much Norman, Pete and Rick for the corrrection and the additional information, made the mistake NOT to enlarge the picture, would have seen that this is a modern ship and not built in 1944
Best wishes, stay safe and take care
