Pull one of the shift paddles that flank the steering wheel (yes, shift paddles on a manual) to activate the slick rev-matching feature, which makes you sound like a heel-and-toe hero on downshifts. ![]() One might expect a car with such heavyweight performance to have a transmission that takes muscle to shift, but that’s not the case. The Z06 makes a rather astonishing 650 hp from its supercharged V-8 and when shifted by an expert tester can hit 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. And that’s true even for the top Z06 model. The new seven-speed manual transmission (an eight-speed automatic is optional) is one of the best hooked to any V8. But as radical as the new look was compared to previous Vettes, they made sure to keep essentials unchanged-a powerful V-8 and a manual. The Corvette, redesigned in 2014, underwent its most dramatic redesign in decades. And regardless of whether your Miata has a hard roof or a soft one, it’s one of the best manual transmissions available on any car at any price. Either way, 2019 MX-5s get an uprated engine that now makes 181 hp and revs to 7,500 rpm. The Miata was all new for 2016, and a few years later the Mazda not only retains the easy-shifting and precise six-speed manual transmission in the Roadster model but also the even better driving retractable fastback (RF) model. The second-generation Miata of 1999 got one more gear in tenth anniversary models-a six-speed-that remained optional (the five-speed was standard) well into the third generation was equally great to use. The stubby little shifter was so effortless, it moved with just a modest flick of the wrist. But it’s no stretch to say it was Mazda’s brilliant five-speed manual transmission that seriously added to the thrill ride. The Miata’s organically responsive handling mixed with a large dollop of 1960s British roadster drew buyers by the tens of thousands to Mazda stores. Since the summer of 1989, the reasonably priced Mazda MX-5 Miata has been thrilling sports-car fans with its featherweight rear-drive chassis (just over 2,000 pounds) and drop-top fun-in-the-sun persona. ![]() Meanwhile, Unifeeder’s rationalisation of its services has dropped its ranking to 19 th, with its fleet of 74 chartered vessels for a capacity of 118,571 teu.įurthermore, X-Press has an impressive orderbook of 26 ships, for a capacity of 90,162 teu, representing 67% of its existing fleet. It is ranked 16 th in terms of capacity, with a fleet of 85 ships (of which 37 are owned) for a total capacity of 134,773 teu. Nevertheless, according to Alphaliner, Singapore-headquartered X-Press Feeders has managed to expand its fleet by 2.1% in the past year, and has overtaken Unifeeder to become the world’s largest common feeder operator. “We had some ships sitting outside Rotterdam for six days during the peak congestion periods, and there were ports that refused to accept a feeder call at all, despite the boxes for relay taking up space on the quay,” he added. “Schedules were destroyed and it was impossible to find replacement ships to cover the delayed vessels.” ![]() And if we did get tonnage, we couldn’t get the ships worked due to port congestion,” he said. “Unlike our carrier customers, we never enjoyed the boom times as charter hire rates for ships went through the roof, and shipowners wanted us to commit for ridiculously long periods. Indeed, a feeder operator executive told The Loadstar recently carriers were again “turning the screws” on feeder rates and volume commitments. Moreover, the liners, still awash with cash generated over the past two years and with surplus capacity snapped up on the second-hand vessel S&P market, are minded to deploy their own tonnage for spoke-hub relays and the ad-hoc feeder parcels which add the jam to the bread-and-butter of the liner feeds. Notwithstanding the war in Ukraine, which has significantly affected cargo demand in the Baltic, feeder operators plying traditional feeder routes in the North Sea and Irish Sea are having to manage lower volumes and tougher budgeting demands from ocean carrier client procurement officers. The consultant said DP World subsidiary Unifeeder had streamlined its services connecting North Europe with the Baltic region since the end of last year after “a serious drop in cargo demand in the Far East to North Europe trade” impacted its feeder volumes. Shortsea shipping lines in Northern Europe are facing a fight for survival as demand weakens and rates plummet.Īs in the deepsea sector, shortsea container carriers and feeder lines are having to adjust to a reduction in demand across their networks.įor example, according to Alphaliner data, Aarhus-based Unifeeder has reduced its capacity by more than 25,000 teu in the past year, a 17.9% decline in its fleet. ![]() The town of Narragansett has about 15,500 residents and is a great spot to consider buying a home in.
