Compare this ship to the six Halcyon Line ships, (Stad Vlaardingen, Stad Zwolle, etc )built in Germany in the early sixties, which also have an all-midship arrangement with holds before and after this structure, and are/were classified as bulk carriers)

Shipowners very often used typical general cargo vessels to carry bulk cargo, bulk carriers to carry general cargo.
My father was a member of the crew of the largest tanker at that time (1974) under the Polish flag (m/t KASPROWY WIERCH), when the crude oil tanker , during her maiden voyage , brought tens of thousands of tons of grain to the port of Gdynia w from New Orleans . Such cases have happened, are happening and will probably happen again in the future. In the past, many universal ships were built to carry various cargoes (ore-coal carriers, oil-ore-bulk carriers and others). Today, specialist vessels dominate.
Regards.
