A distant aerial view, taken from above the starboard quarter, of the ore/bulk/oil carrier Irfon (1971) departing from the main iron ore loading pier at Vitoria, Brazil. She arrived at Vitoria 6 July 1974 and, having been loaded, is being pushed away from her berth by two tugs. On the left is the gearless bulk carrier Tweed Bridge (1974) which is alongside a finger pier and has five of her hatches open. She arrived on 7 July and sailed the next day. Her stern is out of the picture. An unidentified geared bulk carrier is on the other side of the finger pier and an unidentified Petrobras tanker is alongside the pipeline on the breakwater.
