Later conversions saw large garages added on top like the recent views posted of MV Esra and a second bridge added fwd for visibility.
I dont know why Traviata is sailing under the Wallenius flag as that name is a popular name for many Ugland and later HUAL Vessels, but she carries OW in my FOTOFLITE photos.
I will dig all my car carrier notes out this week and see if l can find any more info on these types of vessel, most did end up with China shipping names.
