=Seatrain Lines Ships=

This is a compilation of ships confirmed to have been operated by Seatrain Lines, with brief notes on their service life with Seatrain.

A note about the vessel identification numbers used here:
 * O.N. numbers are a ship's official registration number in the country of registration, US Coast Guard numbers assigned to U.S. flagged vessels unless noted
 * IMO numbers are a ship's International Maritime Organization registration number, a more universally used identification number
 * MC numbers are the sequential number assigned to ships built under the United States Maritime Commission during World War II
 * Yard or Hull numbers are the sequential number assigned by the shipyard that constructed the ship

For additional information on an individual ship a web search using the "ship name"+"IMO number" as your search term will usually yield multiple photographic and text references. However, keep in mind that some sources may be more accurate and reliable than others. Also be warned that a few maritime-related sites are predatory, so be wary when downloading any images or files.

Historical note: The four Euroliner-class ships were originally powered by two Pratt & Whitney FT4 A-12 gas-turbine engines capable of propelling the ships in excess of 26 knots. Because of high fuel consumption, maintenance and operating costs, in 1980-1981 all four ships were sent to be re-engined with two Stork-Werkspoor TM620 nine-cylinder medium speed diesel engines by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft, Hamburg, W. Germany, thus trading speed for greater operating economy. The ships were not returned to service until after Setrain's bankruptcy.
