*Finnsnes* IMO 7632888. Steel single screw bulk carrier launched 28 April 1978 at Shimizu by Nippon Koka KK as hull no. 372 for Jebsens Rederi. 125m x 20.5 x 11.51; 8967 gt, 4542 nt; Pielstick 12-cylinder 12PC2-2V-400 Diesel, 6000-bhp, by builder. Later *Fairnes* (1988), *Finnsnes* (1992), *Marimar* (2004), and *Daly* (2006). In service for Daly Shipping Ltd., Marshall Islands, flagged Cambodia. There are several *Seahorse*s in that time frame. Was it a bulk carrier? The most logical candidate seems to be: *Ace* IMO 7921605. Single screw steel bulk carrier launched 25 December 1979 at Setoda by Naikai SB&EngCoLtd. as hull no. 455. 164.01m x 23.11 x 14.76; 16518 gt, 9322 nt; 8-cylinder Burmeister & Wain 8L55GFC Diesel, 550mm x 1380, 10699-bhp, by Hitachi Zosen KK.

Is this the vessel in your photo?:
