The Hustler class of containership was designed to carry 124
20ft equivalent containers 8ft6in high at a service speed of 15 knots,
using intermediate fuel oil and thus avoiding the more expensive diesel or
gas oil. Apart from Hustler Cheyenne, the remaining eight Hustlers
ultimately had "City of" names: Milan, Lisbon, Oporto, Genoa,
Florence, Naples, La Spezia, and Venice. |
