Thanks for the comment. Vehicle carriers are not handsome but they are a wonderful alternative to vehicle manufacturers needing assembly plants and inventories and management issues around the world. They are able to drive product from the factory on to a ship and off at the other end to a retail outlet.
For a larger vessel than Graceful Leader take a look at Manon traversing Sydney Harbour one morning before my breakfast. I think she was one of the WW fleet that was cut in two and extended by 20% to bring her capacity to 7200 cars. Go to
