I want to do something new....

[StickyMonk]

Does anyone know of any decent shots of a forrest product carrier? or maybe more than just one, as I would like to add some to my list of ships, also I want to plug a gap in the passenger ship market, there is a real lack of them in the 80's and 90's anyone know of any built in that time?

^^that's a system often used on paper carriers. They have a couple of lifttrucks on board, which supply the crane, and the crane loads/unloads the cargo.
These ships are more or less the same as Ro-Ro carriers, but build for other purposes.

There's a book "Die größten Passagierschiffe der Welt" (The largest liners of the world) by arnold kludas. all existent ships above 10000 GT are in it.
i'm not quite sure if there's an english version also.
if you should get it you'll have lots of work....

I have underway a few liners from the 80's and 90's, but things are going to be progressing slowly for the forseable future due to work

I shall check out the Estonia....

That Gearbulk vessel is called a Newsprint Carrier. I used to work for Abitibi-Price Shipping, and I operated a fleet of 5 of those ships. They were exceptionally clean vessels and handling of the cargo is very carefully orchestrated. Because the rolls have to fit on a printing press, any dent render the roll almost unusable. If there was a 1" deep cut in the paper, it would destroy 20% of the roll (to illustrate, make a cut in a roll of toilet paper and see how many sheet are actually destroyed.

There really is no such thing as a passenger vessel anymore. Nothing like the days of the Great Liners that plied the world's oceans. Ships like the Titantic, Mauretania, Canberra, Queen Mary, Empress of Canada are all gone. There are of course cruise ships, but they are a totally different beast. Some countries have very large ferries, but these are just that, ferries, not passenger liners.

To properly use those, we would have to set the POC clock back to the 1920's. Any interest????
