Europa-Type Coasters

Built in 1968-73 in the German Democratic Republic for service in the North Sea and Baltic seaports, these Europa-type coasters were designed as multi-purpose carriers, handling diverse cargoes such as wood, paper, grain, containers etc. Over 30 vessels were originally built for Lars Rej Johansen of Oslo however they have since changed hands and names.
