The PS Malström

Introducing Malström, a Vortex class bulk coal transport side wheel paddle steamer. Built to haul large quantities of coal, the Vortex class paddle steamers were designed with capacity in mind. While drawing a deep draft when compared to other river going wheel boats, they make use of every cubic foot of displacement, allowing their bunkers to ship in excess of 15,000 units of coal.

The first completed Vortex, the PS Malström is the newest addition to the P&K Bulk Shipping Company's fleet, and was especially ordered and designed to P&K's needs of a no nonsense bulk carrier. Utilising the latest in 1870s technologies and ship building methods, she is an efficient ship capable of industry leading capacity for her displacement and draft.
