Anbody know her previous name or names,,she looks a lot like the one that a few years ago in the 90s had a russian crewmember onboard that murdered the whole crew and tried sailing the ship to Russia via skagarak, the ship was found drifting with bodies onboard by danish fishermen off Esjberg.
Cant remember the particular ships name but it was German flagged at the time..
