Summary

NoS Summary - the S.S. Khuzistan delivers oil to small ports in the Persian Gulf
BP synopsis: Starts with the dockside and a tanker next to a giant tank. The SS Khuzistan is a smaller tin holding vessle which takes oil up and down the coast. Lots of shots of people loading the tins into the ship. On board it takes four days to reach the next stop. Shots of the sea and in long shot, the shore. When it reaches the port, the locals have to row out to the ship and unload by hand. Shots of this and hundreds of tins lined up on shore and being moved into the village.
