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

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.
