O. de Leeuw, renamed Moby Dick, registered in Den Helder, Netherlands, and converted for recreational and sports purposes.

In 1989 she was sold to the Opinia Shipping Company, who renamed her Altea, and was registered in San Lorenzo, Honduras.

In October 1989 Altea was stopped and searched in the English Channel, and 17 tonnes of cannabis was found aboard.
