Swazi Warrior - ex Moliro at Singapore 1978

No doubt having heavy lift gear was a factor in her becoming an early container feeder ship.

You have some great shots Bert. I bet you enjoyed BA layovers at Singapore ?

As Moliro she was one of CMB's West African traders.

Just posted a pic of her as MOLIRO, taken in Mombasa in Feb 1978.

Not sure that the heavy lift gear had anything to do with making the vessel and early container feeder, especially as most of the containers in the photo are out of reach of the heavy lift gear. I would suggest that the containers being carried were just part of the normal cargo the vessel had loaded.

Hi Bert

The picture is not at Singapore, but departing Cape Town. I recall it
was one of slides sent to you some years back.

Ian in Cape Town

Looks like the stbd sampson post aft of the accommadation has taken a nudge from a container.
