Reading this months Wheels and amongst all the VE vs BF comparos thought some of you might find this interesting:
Hyundai Ro/Ro Pure Car Carrier Overall length - 200m Width - 32.2m Air draft (height above water) - 46.9m Deadweight - 20400t Number of car decks - 12 Car deck area - 54000 sq m Capacity - 6100 standard car units Engine - 4453L two-stroke diesel (driving a single 6m propeller) Cylinders - 7 Bore/stroke - 600mm/2250mm Power - 14300kW@114rpm Engine weight - 320t Speed - 20.5 knots One of these was carrying an XY GT originally exported to Africa and brought back original with minimal rust. And this Pure Car Carrier wasn't the biggest. |

only 20,000 tons thats only a moderate sized one.
My family were stevedores and some of the car ships they use to bring out cars from Europe are extraordinary.

Can't post up pics yet because:
- only have 3G connection and there's problems with it at the mo - meaning it would take hours to get anywhere if I used my PC - no scanner - phone browser can't upload pics This is the best I could do before the network shat itself - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RORO |

That pic makes the cruise liner look like a yacht!
I'm on a PC now. I found this - http://www.walleniuslines.com/the_fleet.jsp?art_id=77 Nothing I've found matches the pics in Wheels though. |
