MS Tor Hollandia was built in 1966 and launched and christened by Godother Huck Van Rietscoten.

[1] The ship was built as yard number 559 by Lübecker Flender-Werke Lübeck, West Germany.

She was powered by a Pielstick 12PC2V-400 diesel engine of 18,390 kilowatts (24,660 hp) which drove a single screw propeller.

However, the negotiations dragged on over time and a Greek shipping company, Minoan Lines became interested and bought her in October 1975.

She was reflagged to Malta, and renamed Ouranos, entering service on the Corfu, Greece - Brindisi, Italy route.
