As completed, Arthur M. Anderson's overall dimensions were 647' 00" loa x 70' 00" beam x 36' 00" depth with a capacity of 21,000 tons dwt at a mid-summer draft of 26' 02". The cargo was contained in three holds serviced by 19 hatches (6-7-6 configuration). After the St. Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959, she could carry 20,800 tons at the early Seaway draft of 26' 00.” Power was and still is supplied by a 7,700 s.h.p. cross-compound steam turbine engine (steam expanded through two turbines) built by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Pittsburgh, PA, with two heavy-fuel oil fired Foster-Wheeler water tube boilers providing the steam; the power then transmitted to the single controllable pitch propeller through double reductions gears driving the bulker at a speed of 16 m.p.h.
