Much talk at the time was that she would have a reduced service speed, but it turned out not to be the case and she still transited from Southampton to Kobe in a mind boggling 21 days including an overnight stop at Jeddah. At some points her service speed was in the region of 25 knots - not bad for a motor vessel. Her bunker usage was cut massively though - something like a ten fold cut but I don't recall the daily bunker usages in both guises.

jadran - yes 32m beam would make her theoretically a panamax but as you know she traded for Ben Line on the N.Europe to the Far East via Singapore route.

Indeed, large ships at their early career.

The New Waterway was the best place to see them underway.
Worth noting are the fine lines of these 22knot ships - a high length/beam ratio of 8.8 compared with the current giants which have a ratio of only 6.8
