Chrisoula K
Marcus
The Chrisoula K began life as the 3,720 or 3,807 GRT Cargo Ship Dora
Oldendorff built at Orenstein, Koppel and Luebekker, Lübeck, Germany for
Egon Oldendorff's growing post-WWII fleet. Launched 16 December 1953 and
completed early in 1954, she was 98 meters in length, 14.8 meters in beam, 9
meters in draught, with a single 2,700 bhp 9-cylinder diesel engine from
Masch, Augsburg-Nuermbuer (MAN), Augsburg, Germany, connected to a
single shaft for a maximum speed of 13.5 knots.
The Dora Oldendorff was sold in 1970 (Company Unknown) and was
renamed the Anna B. She was sold again in 1979 to the Clarion Marine
Company, Piraeus, Cyprus, and renamed the Chrisoula K.
Built in Bremen (Germany) in 1956, this 2699 ton (3100 gross) general cargo
vessel was fitted with Man diesel engines. She was a German registered
vessel and sailed under several names, including 'Naguilan', 'Nordhaff' and
'Atlas' until 1971, when after an extensive fire, she was declared a total
constructive loss. She was then sold to Greek interests and again went
through several changes in ownership and name changes. The vessel finally
took on the name 'Marcus' in 1978.
Both the Chrisoula K and the Marcus had MAN engines
