Villablanca Villablanca by T. Diedrich

This vessel was built by the Elcano shipyard at Seville, together with three sister ships. This one received the construction name of Astene 94, that became Bretagne when all them were bought by Fred Olsen. When this shipowner refused to take charge of them due delay in the construction they were layed up after finished. When an agreement was reached on 1967 with Castañer y Ortiz this shipping company took care of them under charter, not passing to their property until 1973. This was renamed Villablanca, being scrapped on 1986.

All of them were chartered to Cofruna and Pinillos until 1974, when they were dedicated to the lines between the Peninsula and the Canary Islands.
