As the Panama-flagged 'Morning Conductor' makes its maiden winter voyage to Europe, crew and pilots are benefiting from closed bridge wings, a design feature that has not generally been introduced in car carriers.
The bridge on the vessel has also been arranged high to allow a 360 degrees range of view. Following the 'Morning Cornet', the newbuilding is the third in a series of six 6,500 capacity vessels constructed according to a single pillar lay out in the cargo holds. Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries delivered it to the EUKOR Car Carriers Inc. which owns 22 vessels controlled from offices in Seoul, Korea. Owner of 'Morning Conductor', EUKOR now operates more than 92 car transporters. In 2008, it will also take delivery of four 8,100 capacity new buildings, described as the world's largest.
