properties
The Sassnitz was the last ship with a partially riveted outer skin that was built at the Neptun shipyard. It was 137.5 meters long, 18.8 meters wide and had a side height of 7.5 meters up to the car deck. The full-decker was measured with 6164 GRT and 2318 NRT , the displacement was 6974 tons, the load capacity 1843 tons. The draft was 5.3 meters.
The Sassnitz was powered by four reversible, supercharged four-stroke diesel engines with a total of 9600 hp. These worked in pairs on two screws. The speed was 18 knots. A bow rudder and a bow thruster with a rotary control cylinder, which was new at the time of construction, improved the maneuverability when moving slowly and in reverse.
40 freight cars or 16 express train cars could be transported on the four-track wagon deck with a track length of 398 meters . There was also space on board for 40 cars and 1017 passengers. The crew consisted of 115 people.
The passengers were accommodated in salons during the journey. The captain had a reception room, a study and a bedroom with a bathroom. The officers were accommodated in individual cabins.
The tracks were removed for use in the Mediterranean region in order to increase the number of vehicles to be transported to 240. The renovation allowed 1400 passengers to be carried. Two lifeboats were removed in favor of a sundeck with a swimming pool.
