A distant aerial port side view, taken from well abaft the beam, of the ore/bulk/oil carrier Kildare (1972) loading alongside the main iron ore loading terminal at Vitoria, Brazil. Five of her hatches are open. Loading on the south side of the finger pier is the bulk carrier Antonaki (1959) and alongside the north side of the finger pier is the Polish bulk carrier Ziemia Kielecka (1969) which is on charter to Johan M. Ugland. The photographer is looking north-west from an aircraft high above the port. The Kildare arrived at Vitoria on 30 June and berthed on the finger pier. On 3 July she was moved to the main terminal and sailed fully loaded on 4 July 1974. Transparencies numbers P62685CT to P62694CT were taken on the same day.
