Thanks for posting, 'Fairfield'. OK, being pedantic, but I would slightly question the date as being 1970's. She has, what appears to be, an early Inmarsat "C" satellite comms receiver on the bridge deck. Inmarsat itself, although founded in 1979, began operations in 1982, which would date the photo to more mid 1980's. Can't help with the ID as yet, but I think I have seen this somewhere before. With those big vents, maybe she's a roll-on roll-off stern loading cargo ship, not a bulker and we are looking at the after accommodation, as from the hull form that appears to be the stern mooring spring. Lot of people on the main deck mind, so maybe carrying some, but not a lot of, passengers?
