Ken is right - they were known as the intermediate ships or liners for union castle

Imo 5185398

A very good idea Ralph, a beautiful ship, I spent three days on her whilst on leave from the R A F, Traveled from Mombasa to Dar es Salaam via Tanga and Zanzibar, good old days.

Normally called Intermediate class. Worked cargo out of London docks and passengers boarded at Tilbury landing stage.

Hi Trevor, as we don't have a separate category for combi-liners, I think we should "promote" this lovely vessel to the "Passenger ships" category :-)
