Would like information on m.v. SUGAR PRODUCER, London. She sailed
during the '50's. Ports of call, cargo. Any history that's available.

Could this be your ship?

"M.V. Sugar Importer, built by Hall Russell & Co. Ltd., Aberdeen, for
Silvertown Services, London, and propelled by twin British Polar M48M
engines developing 3,000 bhp, at 300 rpm. operating through a
single-screw reducing gear."

Unfortunately, this is all I could find out about her but there is an
actual photo of the ship here:

Let me know.

Here is one called "MV Sugar Crystal" but it looks almost identical to
the vessel mentioned above. They may very well be one and the same.
