I USE THIS NAME AS MY LOG IN PSEUDO,SUCH WAS MY FASCINATION OF THIS VESSEL THAT I FIRST SAW WHEN WAS ENTERING ROTTERDAM EARLY ONE SATURDAY,(1970 I THINK), MORNING ON BOARD "BENALBANACH",AS A SUPERNUMARY.SHIGEO WAS ON HER WAY OUT COMPLETELY IN BALLAST.WHAT A SIGHT!
Being originally from Southend I somehow missed her visit to the Thames!

Shigeo Nagano and her sisters, Inayama and Marshall Clark, were built to carry ore from Lorenzo Marques (Maputo) Mozambque to Japan in adition to the bigger Sidney Spiro. The ships were to deep to take full cargo alongside the jetty. They used a lightering ship, Sigbarge, to top up at the anchorage. It was Berge Sigval Bergersen the son of Sigval Bergersen DY that was the orginal owner of these ships.

Geoff: I am surprised to learn she'd been in Tilbury - espcially since she was apparently some 10 feet wider than the entrance lock and about 78 feet longer than the drydock.

Bob - I took a picture of her in Tilbury Dry Dock. I heard she was the largest vessel they handled.

She was actually built as an ore/oil carrier, demonstrated by the the two hose handling derricks in the middle of the ship. Later in her career these were removed and she worked as an ore carrier onlu.
