The Belloc was of a Standard Ship
Design known as SD 14. One of four, of the Bronte, Boswell
and Browning class. All built by Austin Pickersgill 1979 to 1980 with
a Four Cylinder Sulzer and single turbo-charger. ( It did look big. ) and
conventional Sulzer fuel injection equipment. There were initially a few
little problems with vibration but it was soon resolved and generally were very
good ships for their purpose. Regrettably the trade situation was falling
away and they did not get a lot of service before being laid-up in Liverpool
and then sold, Belloc in 1981 and the others in 1983.
