The Browning  was of a Standard Ship Design known as  SD 14. One of  four, of the Bronte, Boswell and Belloc 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.

I sailed in her from Glasgow on the day Argentine forces invaded South Georgia, with a full cargo for Brazilian ports  & Buenos Aires, with the result she never went further south than Rio Grande do Sol. It marked the downturn in trade for Lamport & Holts, with the result of her being sold to the Chinese.

The first Browning (5,332 tons) was built in 1919  as War Marten, but completed as Browning. She was torpedoed in 1942  and blew up while carrying ammunition off Oran for operation 'Torch'.
