 Hi paul.
 when asking for 1/72 fittings most modellers think about warship fittings as merchant ship fitings tend more to be labled as a length or dia
 if they are not for a specific kit.  Fleet scale and sirmar could supply the generic deck fittings and I listed otheres you can look at to fit out the coaster.
