From the collection of Capt. Per Jespersen
A tanker "hoses up" for loading at the Sidon
terminal. A 12-in. rubber hose connects the ship's manifold with the
12in. submarine hose, 200 ft long, which in turn connects with an
under-water crude-loading pipeline. Most berths are also equipped with
another submarine pipeline and hose for loading bunkers.
