Shortly before her jumbo collapsed. On the priority berth for the South African Conference lines, and on time charter to one of them - cannot recall which one. In the mid to late 70's vessels loaded fully out at this berth for South Africa, with the Conference lines having priority berthing and labour allocation. Her jumbo collapsed when attempting to load a container of whisky - so much fun and games ensued from all directions. In the days of max 10 ton quay cranes - how times have changed.
