Also, Murillo has 2,396 vehicle lane meters (l ,900 lane m for trucks and 400 lane m) for cars on four decks where

Cenargo vessels performed 2,000 lane meters on two decks. The lower cardeck is located on the tank top with the upper one mounted directly above it. Access is provided by a fixed ramp between the decks, which in turn can be accessed via a fixed ramp from the main deck. Two lifting ramps provide access to and from the upper deck.

Murillo is powered by four Wartsila 9L38 four-stroke engines developing 5,940 kW at 600 rpm arranged in pairs in separate engine rooms with separate feed systems, and equips Flender gear- boxes.

Lips propellers are used on Murillo, which incorporates two Brunvoll bowthrusters. Stabilizing is done via an

Intering anti-roll system. This is further enhanced with the addition of Mit- subishi retractable hydraulic fin stabiliz- ers. The quick construction time also is remarkable. The advanced delivery has given a 20-month construction time.
