The ship in the picture (photograph by Joerg Seyler captured on 8 February 1992) was a cargo ship given the name Manchinchi Bridge before it changed ownership.
The ship was build in 1978 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd at their shipyard in Shimonoseki, Japan
It was a general cargo ship which had changed names and owners over the years:
The formers names are:
🇨🇳Dong Hua Men (Until 2009 Jun)
🏴Chelsea Bridge (Until 2002 Dec)
🇺🇸Apache Belle (Until 1996 Aug)
🏴Chelsea Bridge (Until 1995 Aug)

Sometime in 2010 it was reported seized by Somali pirates. On 13 November 2011, the ship was released by pirates after 207 days of captivity. It is not known what cargo it was carrying.
Later in 2011, it was sold to unknown ship breakers.
Thats all I could find out about the ship which was once owned by Zambia
