Wasn’t the Nostromo a hydrocarbon processing ship?

Nostromo was a tug. It was hauling an oil refinery. From wikipedia:

Commercial Towing Vessel Nostromo, an M-Class starfreighter property of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, is a tug, a towing vessel, hauling an enormous (some 1.5 miles in length) ore refinery and 20 million tons of raw ore, weighing many times the mass of the Nostromo.

I think this is some kind of attempt by a certain “alien” creature to lure us to Titan. I’m just sayin’.

Movie Trivia:

Both Nostromo and Sulaco are tributes to a novel written by Joseph Conrad - who also wrote “Heart of Darkness”, which inspired Apocalypse Now.
