UNITED TONY entering the Tees as seen from South Gare. Don't know when I took the photo - but it was a canny while ago.

She was originally Lecko or Luro (Not sure which).

Regular runners to Billingham Oil and possibly the largest ships
to go there. Unusual in the fact that she had a "Rotational"
bow thrust, possibly the forerunner of modern azipods. She could
make about 2 knots headway with this pointing aft and the
main engine stopped.
