In November 1975 in Malta, after her delivery to Marasia. She had already changed her name but still did not have Marasia's funnel marks.         In January 1976 at Santander, without having yet changed her hull for the typical Marasia gray of that time, which she swears in the rest of the photos, but already with the Marasia's funnel marks.. The color of the hull changed during that year, a few months later. In August 1976 she was already wearing the Marasia gray color. She was sold in January 1982 to a Greek company, which renamed her GME Atlantico under the Greek flag. She was scrapped in Turkey in 1988.
