I did a fantastic 20 month trip as 2nd Mate on this fine vessels maiden voyage. A very happy ship with a great bunch of lads. Master Capt John Kemp MBE. Mate Carl Jacobs. C/E Joe Hanover. 2/E Jim Cairns. She was one of the first Bankline ships with the new P type engine so had a few teething problems which kept the Engineers busy. but as professionals, they took it in their stride. Happy Days.

  1. I enjoyed my time in Inverbank, Andy “chop” Whittle and me were the apprentices, old man was a top bloke, B.J.Peterson, with Johnny Lowans the mate. She was a fine ship, with a fine crew.
