Photo of some historical significance, looks to have an early version of Stolt-Nielsen funnel colours and the name rendered on the hull represents the original company name Parcel Tankers Inc. Jacob Stolt-Nielsen had registered the company name in Liberia in 1959, and he revolutionised chemical shipping in the same fashion and at the same time containers modernised cargo shipping by enabling tankers to carry a wider range of products to meet market changes for a wider range of chemicals and solvents that usually were only shippind in small parcels.
