In 1977 - perhaps in connection with this photo - ex " Vibeke Mærsk " was traded two more times. At first she was sold by the Hong Kong Islands Shipping Co. ( this photo ) and renamed " Sea Speway " of Panama. Later in 1977 she was sold again and named " Huey Fong " of Panama but owned by a company in Hong Kong.
" Huey Fong " was mentioned in the press when, on 25th December 1978, she picked up about 2500 Vietnamese refugees, from nine overcrowded small boats, at open sea and brought them into Hong Kong.
From the rescue operation http://www.immd.gov.hk/40/eng/mil/70s/mil_70s_iv.html - please zoom in on the small photo to the right.
" Huey Fong ", ex " Vebeke Mærsk " was laid up in Hong Kong in January 1979 and during the Summer of 1980 she was broken up, also in Hong Kong.
Regards
