COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
On a time charter to Shell and originally intended to run up the Mekong to Phnom Penh the funnel was half the height of the one in this photo - with a removable 'stove pipe' extension, the masts could also be lowered. Events put paid to that plan. She would load bitumen at Pulau Bukom for Muara, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Port Hedland, and at least once to Tanjung Priok. When not in the bitumen trade she would load fuel oil at Port Dickson for Telok Anson.
