In the Shipping section line "The edible-oil tanker ship Amadeo II, being used as a bunker barge at the port...", I request that the word "bunker" be linked to the page on bunkering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkering).

The reason is that this is not a common term that everyone is likely to be familiar with unless they happen to know shipping jargon. I had to search for information to understand what a "bunker barge" might be. Initially it sounded like possibly people were living on it or something similar. If it had been linked I would have understood what it actually is much quicker and not have been distracted from reading the article. Thank you. CulturaVore (talk) 20:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
