Additional NotesThe greater demand for container space on trans-Tasman
runs saw USSCo charter this multi purpose bulker which resulted in the link-spans at various ports redundant.
Her hull remained a corn colour during the period with USSCo.
She was the second last ship owned by USSCo Last edited by: John Brown
