Another one trying to be all things to all men, in other words..........an Ore/Bulk/Oil Carrier.

She only has one main engine so I would guess the other funnel takes care of the Aux Sets.

Dwt is 124,100 tons.

I moved her on Sept 23rd 1979 from Redcar Ore Terminal,after discharging,across to Phillips to load
Crude Oil. Don't think many ships actually did this though many OBO ships discharged at ROT
or loaded at Phillips.

Hate to think what the cleaning problems must have been later if any of the Ore residue
got mixed with crude oil !!!
