I am looking for information (pictures, particulars, owners and history) on a VLCC named Alva Star. I have searched the internet without much success at all. I joined this vessel, as 2/0 in January of 1971 in Finnart and payed-off in April when she went to guarantee dry-dock in Lisbon four months later. She was bulit in Sweden (1969/70?) and originally manned by German officers and Philippino crew even though she was registered in London. I was one of a number of Brits that were gradually replacing the German compliment.
Any information on this vessel, and those who sailed on her, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
