Overview

Carry bulk commodities in protected enclosed holds.

Role and service

Cairn trades quick acceleration for enclosed carrying volume. Its deep hull gathers pressure holds behind a protective keel, separating the crew compartment from the receiving doors and the machinery needed to move a heavy load.

Recognising the hull

A short deep hull, faceted bow and enclosed hold blisters make Cairn visibly heavier than the open-frame Rackline.

Operational limits

High load volume comes with low acceleration and substantial docking-clearance requirements.
