Orange juice tanker? Are we sure the reporter wasn't distracted by a tangerine sky?

Varley,
Yes! the first time I heard of an Orange juice tanker I was somewhat doubtful but they are around. Probably something to do with that - Man from Delmonte! Neville - Hawkey01 |
An early orange juice carrier although there are purpose built vessels nowadays.
ORANGE STAR - ex Andalucia Star http://www.bluestarline.org/andalucia2.html ORANGE STAR ex-Fife (1984) ex-Andalucia Star (1975) Flag: Liberia Callsign ELFS7 GRT: 9.981 LOA: 155.81 Owner: Adriatic Reefer Manager: Atlanship Builder: Smith's Dock Ltd. - South Bank, Middlesbrough Keel Laid: 21/06/1974 Launched: 14/01/1975 Completed: 06/1975 |
It could be orange juice destined for industrial solvents.

It may not be a tanker as such - It seems that most such vessels carry the juice in large refrigerated stainless steel tanks fitted within the holds of what would be a normal reefer.

A few of these juice tankers around - one company that specializes in the juice trade being Atlanship SA of Switzerland.
