A slightly distant aerial starboard side view, taken from well ahead of the beam, of the ore/bulk/oil carrier Irfon (1971) under way after being moved by tugs away from the main terminal in the iron ore loading port of Tubarao, Vitoria, Brazil. The Irfon arrived at Vitoria on 6 July and berthed on the main terminal. She sailed fully loaded on 7 July 1974. The bulk carrier Tweed Bridge (1974) is loading iron ore alongside the north side of the finger pier in the background, having arrived earlier the same day, and she sailed on 8 July. Transparencies numbers PCT792 to PCT807 and PCT814 to PCT951 were taken during the same stay in port.
