The "Conro Trader", Belfast
Not the standard type of coaster to call at Queen’s Quay. The “Conro Trader” is a roll on-roll off vessel capable of carrying conventional cargoes in her hold or special cargoes such as wind turbine blades. Built in 1978 and, at 109 metres, one of the longer ships to berth at Queen’s Quay. The cargo was bulk coal for discharge direct to lorries.
