Dimension of tanks did not allow loading in barges so tanks were stowed on deck on top of containers. Loading was arranged by 2 mobile cranes (see photographs). In order to comply with receivers' requirements concerning delivery, discharging of tanks took place at Apapa Quays and not at Kirikiri, where cargoes from Baco-Liner-vessels are normally discharged.
