However, in the 1980s, it became clear that the type required more maintenance than other vessels, as it was expensive to "switch" from wet to dry cargoes, and it took valuable time. If the vessel had carried oil, it could switch to carrying ore or other dirty bulk cargoes, but not grain or other clean bulk cargoes. As the 1970s cohort of OBO carriers aged, most of them switched to being used either as pure tankers or as pure ore carriers. By 2021, OBO carriers were no longer as common as they were in

The university has been without its original Bull since

4050-483: The front of the ship had earlier sheared off the covers of small ventilation pipes near the bow. Over the next two days, seawater had entered through the exposed pipes into the forward section of the ship, causing the bow to slowly ride lower and lower in the water. Eventually, the bow was made vulnerable to the full force of the rough waves, which caused the massive hatch on the first cargo hold to buckle inward, allowing hundreds of tons of water to enter within seconds. As

4350-434: The mid-sixteenth century. In 1560, during the political unrest accompanying the Scottish Reformation , the then chancellor, Archbishop James Beaton , a supporter of the Marian cause , fled to France. He took with him, for safe-keeping, many of the archives and valuables of the cathedral and the university, including the Mace and the Bull. Although the Mace was sent back in 1590, the archives were not. Principal James Fall told

It would also be able to take "wet" cargo (oil) one way and "dry" cargo (bulk cargoes or ore) the other way, thus reducing the time it had to sail in ballast (i.e. empty). The first OBO carrier was the Naess Norseman , built at A. G. Weser for the company Norness Shipping, controlled by the Norwegian shipowner Erling Dekke Næss . Næss and his chief naval architect Thoralf Magnus Karlsen were instrumental in conceiving

In September 2016, in partnership with Glasgow City Council , Glasgow Life , and

4875-498: The university's relocation to Hillhead , again proved problematic when more real estate was required. The school of veterinary medicine, which was founded in 1862, moved to a new campus in the leafy surrounds of Garscube Estate, around two miles (3 km) west of the main campus, in 1954. The university later moved its sports ground and associated facilities to Garscube and also built student halls of residence in both Garscube and Maryhill .

The design of these vessels has been significantly improved compared to the vessels made in the 1970s and all problems which were related to the OBO carrier concept — including many that were common amongst tankers at that time — have been dealt with. In the 1990s, a smaller number of OBOs from 70,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT) to 100,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT) were built for Danish and Norwegian shipowners. A fleet of smaller, "river-sized" (several thousand tonnes) ore-bulk-oil carriers have also been used for some decades on European Russia's waterways, primarily by Volgotanker . In September 1980,
