The following ship was built as the first of six sister-ships, in 1948. The ship was a combination passenger and cargo ship, used on the route from Bilbao Spain to South American ports like Buenos Aires and Montevideo. On the 7th of September 1971 the ship was sunk near Archipelago dos Abrolhos (Brasil), after hitting a submerged object and being holed.

The motor tanker Christian Holm was operated by the Det Danske Petroleum A/S for the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. During WW2 was operated by Anglo-American under the British flag and in 1945 returned to her owners and the Danish flag.

Another merchant ship, a combination passenger and cargo ship.
The SS Zion was built in Germany along with a sister ship (SS Israel). After 11 years in Israeli service both ships were sold to Portugal, the former Zion becoming Amelia De Mello. Later she was sold to Greek interests and as Ithaca was heavily modified as a cruise ship, ending her life as Dolphin IV.
