Report of development work on design for Liberty ship replacement; built from prefabricated sections it is intended that `Pioneer' ships will be used for carriage of general cargo, bulk cargo, heavy cargo, containers or motor cars; they will be powered by Vee-type Pielstick diesel engines; in hydrodynamic investigations distinction was made between Basic Pioneer, which represents general cargo ship with speed of 15 to 17 knots, and Container Pioneer, which, as special service vessel for container transport, must have higher speed rating, which in this case is between 19 and 20 knots.
