Relative longitudinal hull strength: 1.53
(for 18.04 ft / 5.50 m average freeboard, freeboard adjustment 2.24 ft)
Relative composite hull strength: 1.02

Seems strange that a collier would have oil fired boilers.

well, talk about lack of knowledge. I never until now made the connection between collier = coalier ...

it's an oiler obviously (and food and ammo transport)
