North Star, a ship of the same class as Fonanadh. In contrast to the pictured vessel, Fonanadh's covered forecastle is squared off. Fonanadh also lacks a ramp connecting the main deck to the lower vehicle decks, instead utilizing a pair of more expensive vehicle elevators. In revenue service Fonanadh's main deck is intended primarily for transporting shipping containers in contrast to most other vessels of the class, which accommodate tractor trailers on their main deck.
