Design 1013 ship

The Design 1013 ship (full name Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1013), also known as the Robert Dollar type, was a steel-hulled cargo ship design approved for mass production by the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFT) in World War I.

They were produced by a variety of shipyards on the west coast of the United States.

[1][2] A total of 111 of the type were completed—106 for the EFT and an additional five completed later for private contractors.

[1][2] As per the Lend-Lease Agreement, several ships were purchased by the USSR in 1942–1945, as the USSR needed ships for its merchant fleet during World War II and in the first years after the war.

In total, the Soviet Union purchased 25 ships of design 1013.
