The Bridge-class was a series of six ore-bulk-oil vessels (also known as OBOs or "combination carriers") completed by Swan Hunter at their shipyard on the River Tees between 1971 and 1976. The vessels were built for four different shipowners, for operation by the Seabridge consortium, hence their "Bridge" names.
