with containers.

This vessel working only between Black sea and Marmara sea for bulk cargoes, did anybody see container onboard? At this are speed is not so importan. Vessel now 2013-1970 = 43 years old and giving feeder service still?.

@ Allan..You are absolutely right..Most of the short sea or Near Continental ships in the European trade today; nevermind the 70's still operate at about 10kts, service speed. There is no need to go faster. Ok some feeder container ships are faster but not by much maybe 14-16 kts.I think 10 kts..is plenty of speed..Any more than that you just wasting fuel IMHO.

Thanks for your comments,
Allan,Jadran and Denis :-)
her capacity is 182 TEU

Originally built for British Rail's cross-Irish sea service, so 11kts was probably all that was deemed necessary

Allan

....... probably has also an "imposing speed of 11 knots" today; :D
