M/V Isleno is powered by four Detroit

Diesel 12V2000 MTU engines totaling 3,220 hp, and is designed to carry 200

LT (eight loaded trailers or 40 cars) on the cargo deck and accommodate 209 passengers on regular ferry runs between the islands of Vieques and

Culebra from the Port of Fajardo, mak- ing it the bridge for shipping commerce between the islands. The construction of the M/V Isleno was based on the design of the Cayo Norte and the Santa Maria, two previous sister ships built by Blount for the Port Authority. The vessel is cer- tificated by the U.S. Coast Guard under

Subchapter "K" for ocean routes less than 100 miles. Blount says this OSV at 15 knots is one of the fastest recently built OSV's and her speed will help in dodging the hurricanes now in or headed for the Caribbean area.
