It has MacGregor hatches, which do not require a crane because they fold at the end of the hatch.

In looking at the photograph of the Tecumseh arriving at Port Colborne for scrapping, it does not appear the ship has a hatch crane. Were its hatches powered for opening and closing? If not, how were they operated?
