Any idea what those big guardrail looking things are along the sides? Were they to keep the containers from going overboard?

Hi, I would say yes, somebody thought it was a good idea to have these guard rails. But as you can see on a different pic of her ( https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/1966052 ) they have been removed before 1975. In favour of a better TEU/ FEU intake

Looking at the gaping whole between the lowest visible row of containers and the deck, it looks like they functioned as a means to avoid loading containers directly on the hatches, but why would you do that?

I was wrong with my first assumption. On the other pic of her on this site you can see that they used some 20' frames between each layer. I could imagine that the idea behind was to make lashing easier and / or the stack more stable. At least it looks odd :-)

Hi ,consider in 70s US shipping lines were still using non standard ISO containers (24ft,35ft etc) movable cell guides etc fitted.This could help explain frames.......regards

Glad it brought back memories for you

Delightful Memory! Thank you. This vessel is a duplicate of 4 sisters (and two follow-ons) built in the U. S. All were begun for Matson Lines when they were expanding their business, then decided to retract instead. As a Matson ship this was intended for the Transpacific trade, and would have been named S. T. ALEXANDER after one of the then-owner's investors. She was scrapped in Bangladesh in 1989.

Wow, I have seen her so many times under her original name, but when I finally had a camera, she had
been renamed.
