The timber imports from Brazil, which brought so many nice ships to Heysham and the River Mersey in the 1990's, were fully containerised by 2002
I shall try to post some more photos of those ships when time permits
It has been interesting to see your recent postings and hope to see more from you also!

Although you are correct in saying that Vestey (Booth/L+H) moved to Heysham, she was not on time charter to them.
A timber trader/importer, I think named Dankrag, started to use Heysham in 1988 for the discharge, storage and delivery of parcels of timber from Brazil. This brought a number of interesting ships to Heysham for around 10 years including VALI.P of which a photograph has also been submitted to this website.
Inevitably, the trade is now containerised.
