    She can carry a maximum of 4,930 cars, although with the credit crunch I cannot see any Vehicle Carriers transporting as many as that these days - many Vehicle Carriers are laid up all over the World  ;)

    Hi King Pin

    Well oddly enough they do actually look different to each other  ;) - designed to fit as many cars into a space as is possible, thus the square (ish) shape. We see them often in the Tyne as Nissan has its UL Plant at nearby Washington.
