General History:
SILVERHARRIER was used to carry oil cargoes, chemicals or sulphuric acid in center tanks SG up to 1.84. The cargo tanks were protected by forming a double hull inside the vessel using heavy brackets and strengthening bars in case of collisions or groundings.

In the late 1970s it was on bare-boat charter to Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd., Sydney as a chemical tanker for the Australian coast. (www.flotilla-australia.com/csr.htm)
