Edible Oil / Vegetable Oil Tanker Safe Hand seen in Liverpool on 10 June 2013.

As far as I can determine she is still active around the docks, not bad for a 63 year old vessel.

My granddad sailed on this barge for many years. Also was part of the project team when it was converted from steam to diesel power. Would love to be able to see this vessel?

Hi Phil,
I own this vessel, and am interested in the conversion. Do you have any pictures?

I'm hoping to get some soon. My Uncle has recently passed away and i think he had the levers magazine's which featured the boat a few times. I would love to see the barge. Good luck with your work. If I find some pictures I will let you know.
