The photographer is on the quayside looking forward and to starboard from under a dockside crane showing the ship using one of her forward deck cranes about to lift a four wheeled, open-sided lorry aboard. Six similar lorries are already loaded onto one of her hatches. A mobile generator numbered 25 is in the foreground. Transparencies numbers P63807CT, P63808CT and P64020CT to P64022CT were taken on the same occasion.
