Stanvac Mariner - (1957-1962)
"Stanvac Mariner". Built 1957. Later "Mobil Mariner" and "Mobil Transporter". Scrapped in 1978."Stanvac Mariner", 35,500 tons dwt., on dimensions of 690 feet by 90 feet was built in Japan in 1957 for Standard-Vacuum
Tankers, owned jointly by Socony Mobil and Standard Oil (New Jersey). Transferred to South Africa in 1961 she became this nation's largest ship and the third tanker under their flag. Previously the T2 "President Brand" served until 1951, whilst in 1954 a new vessel perpetuated this name, but was sold to the Greek flag in 1963. Another associate of these owners, Standard-Vacuum Transportation, was formed in Britain in 1951, so allowing their British-flag vessels to carry oil for Sterling payment instead of Dollars. Subsequently many tankers joined this fleet, but some 12 years later, the Stanvac assets and operations were divided between the parent companies. "Stanvac Mariner" was renamed as "Mobil Mariner" in 1962. and reverting to British flag in 1964, was renamed "Mobil Trans-porter".
