A very distant aerial port side view, taken from abaft the beam, of the ore/bulk/oil carrier Irfon (1971) alongside the main terminal at the iron ore loading port of Tubarao, Vitoria, Brazil. The ship's 1, 4, 6, 8 and 11 hatches are open, she is loading at numbers 4 and 8 holds and is flying the Blue Ensign. The Irfon arrived in port at Vitoria on 6 July and berthed on the main terminal. She sailed fully loaded on 7 July 1974. Alongside the finger pier just beyond the breakwater are the Greek bulk carrier Kyriakoula D. Lemos (1966) and the Ugelstad bulk carrier Danita (1967). Transparencies numbers PCT792 to PCT807 and PCT814 to PCT951 were taken during the same stay in port.
