ggzilla Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 This Topic is a year old, but the photos are 30+ years old. Why make a new Topic? Gotta love the REPU in front of the dealership. Quote Link to comment

datto510 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 On the boat: Great photos of beautiful classic ships! This was back in the day that a seaman had time in port to explore. Nowadays, the cars load and unload in hours! 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 So how have they speeded up the loading/unloading? Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 So how have they speeded up the loading/unloading? This ship is built to load/unload cars. A purpose built car carrier. Even before the first deck is empty it is already being loaded with another cargo. The ships in the previous posts are re purposed bulk carriers. Those white things on the bow are cranes for loading into the different holds. They have been modified to carry cars but still nowhere as efficient as todays ships. 1 Quote Link to comment
