After being sold/transferred in  1967 to Booth Line and renamed Dominic she was lengthened by fitting a 35.5 meter section forward, at the Société Anonyme Cockerill-Ougerée yard at Hoboken, Belgium. Booth Line at the time needed a vessel to carry plywood from the Amazon to Europe. The forward derricks were removed and three cranes fitted.
