Teesport loading facility
On a work-related visit, our hosts Cleveland Potash took us to their dry bulk loading facility at Teesport. I was able to capture the Dutch-flagged MV Hoop taking on board a consignment of road salt.
Salt was a useful by-product of the potassium chloride that was the primary output of CPL’s facility at Boulby, and it was distributed to customers in the UK and Northern Europe.
I was curious to trace the history of the MV Hoop. She was built in 1962 by the Netherlands for M.Damhof, Delfzuil, as seen here. Soon after my photograph, she underwent changes of ownership and registration, eventually becoming the MV Lady C, based in Anguilla. While loading cement there in 9/1988, she was wrecked (presumably during a hurricane) and broke up at her berth.
