Tanker ARCTIC SCAN at Corydon, undated

Apparently this vessel only carried this name in 1982 as from newbuilt.
In 1983 renamed to MELKKI and many name changes followed over the years until she was hacked to pieces mid 2010.
Hereby a photo of MELKKI, photographer unknown.

She sailed as Arctic Scan for about one and a half year, from 1982 to 1983.
The ship is build in Finland and owned by the Danish Shipping Company Blaesbjerg & Co, and sold to Neste in 1983.
I had 6 month as 3" engineer on the ship in 1982.
