The photo must date from late 2005 or early 2006. The Trochus was delivered February 2006 to Viken Shipping AS of Norway and upon delivery was bareboat chartered to Shell on private terms. She was originally ordered from Samsung by Turkish Shipowner Dunya Denizcilik, who sold her to Viken for $55 million in May 2004, before keel laying. Not bad considering here original contract price was $37 million.
