Trip to Car Carrier
hi to all , This is Pavan , took a drive with my dad to see Ro-Ro ship ( a ship where you can drive from the wharf ) .. enclosed few clipings which shows a car carrier ( called PURE CAR CARRIER - PCC ) (1)arriving to berth,(2 to 4 )the ramp is being placed and ready for loading, (5) The cars are whashed before loading. rador of the ship ( 7) compass navigation instrument (8) sterrling controller. ( 9 to 11 ) showing the cars are driven inside the ship for parking, the ships has EIGHT DECKS (floors) for parking, you can drive inside as if we are parking in multistory parking. (12) shows the cars are parked and lashed to the floor so that cras and buses are safe... it was a good experinces and belive the ship was so neat and tidy and the ship has everything, this ship can carry something like about 4500 long size cars, it can also take about 150 buses in her middle deck... Am sure if anybody get a chances please donot mis to board the CAR CARRIER.....
Thanks ........

Pavan, thanx for sharing your experience in a car-carrying ship. I've entered into a ship only once. It was a warship with a helipad on the deck. The name of the ship was 'Vikranth', perhaps you have heard of it's active part in the Indo-Pak war during 1965-66. I'm sure you were born after that!
