The
vessel with name Mineral Nippon is one newly built and very large
bulk carrier. The ship has a deadweight of 200,000 metric tons.
The vessel is property of Southern Route Maritime, S.A. and the
ship-builder was Universal Shipbuilding Corp. The vessel Mineral
Nippon is pretty large with an overall length of 290 meters, length
between perpenduculars, breadth in the middle of 50 meters, depth
of 24.10 meters and draft in the middle 17.88 meters, while the
ship is fully loaded. The exact deadweight of the vessel Mineral
Nippon is 203,275 metric tons and the gross tonnage is 101,933 metric
tons. The cargo hold capacity of the Mineral Nippon is 217,968 cubic
meters. The main enegine of the vessel is MAN B&W 6S70MC, which
gives enough power to the ship to reach the speed of 16.25 knots.
The cruising speed of the ship is 15.73 knots... date: 30th June, 2008
The ore carrier NSS Honesty was built in the year 2007 from the
ship-builder Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. The
vessel has an overall length of 327 meters and length between perpediculars
of 313 meters. So many people may wonder what I mean by length between
perpediculars and why it is used. In dependence of the ships construction,
bow form and design of the buld, every ship has a diferent angle
of attack of the bow to the water. So this means that overall length
of some ships can be same, but the cargo space to be different.
That is the main reason to be used fore perpendicular and aft perpendicular.
They are calculating the length of the vessel, cargo space, ship's
stability and many important components from the ships science.
The breadth of the ship NSS Honesty is 52 meters in the middle,
which is the largest breadth of the vessel... date: 30th June, 2008
Bergeland
is one bulk carrier, property of Bergesen d.y. ASA, which is the
one, who substitutes the largest bulk carrier in the world –
Berge Stahl, while it is on dock. Bergeland was registered in the
Stavanger in Norway, and sailing under IMO number 9002776. The vessel
is alittle bit smaller that the giant Berge Stahl, but not so small,
because it is second largest bulk carrier owned by Bergesen d.y.
ASA and one of the largest vessels of the world. The deadweight
of Bergeland is 322,941 metric tons, the length is 338 meters and
the width is 55 meters. The ore carrier has a draught of 23 meters.
These measurements are pretty large even for such vessel like Bergeland.
This giant was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. in South
Korea... date: 6th June, 2008
And
when we are talking about new “super-bulkers” (this phrase
will become very useful, after fast developing of bulk carriers)
we should not pass without paying attention to the vessel Cape Unity,
which is also one large bulk carrier, with deadweight of 181,180
metric tons and gross tonnage of 90,092 metric tons. The large ship,
with such measurements is always very interesting for watching and
the cargo capacity for Cape Unity can be calculated to 199,724 cubic
meters. The length of the ship Cape Unity is 288.93 meters and the
beam of the ship is 45 meters. The draft of the ship is 18.17 meters.
The ship is designed to carry ore, coal and all other bulk cargoes
except grain. The vessel has a very interesting structure of the
cargo holds, and this is the main feature of this ship. The cargo
holds have difference in length and in this way difference in capacity... date: 30th May, 2008
The
large bulk carriers are interesting in engineer point of view in
all the times. The newly built vessel Owari Maru is one bulk carrier
with definitely very interesting structure and outlooking. The vessel
is designed to carry ore, which is very heavy product and situates
the center of weight very low and the rolling of the vessel will
be a serious problem for her safety and for condition of the crew
while sailing through the oceans. The deadweight of the vessel 229,013
metric tons and the gross tonnage of the vessel is 113,928 metric
tons. The measurements of the whole ship are pretty big. The overall
length of Owari Maru is 319.58 meters and the length between perpendiculars
is 308 meters. The beam of the vessel is 54 meters and draught is
24.3 meters. The draft, when Owari Maru is fully loaded is 18.12
meters... date: 30th May, 2008
Shin
Sanyo Maru is newly built bulk carrier of the ship-owner company
Antlers Maritima S.A. The ship was finished in February 2007, when
was the fist test from the ship-owner. Shin Sanyo Maru is vessel
built in Japan, into one of the best qualited ship-yards, and this
is exactly Oshima Shipbuilding Co. The vessel has deadweight of
89,999 metric tons and is specialized to carry bulk... date: 19th May, 2008
Coral
Emerald is the newest bulk carrier from the fleet of Picer Marine
S.A.. The ship has deadweight of 75,632 metric tons and from the
group of Panamax bulk carrier. The ship has a length of 225 meters,
a beam of 32.26 meters and a draft of 14.00 meters. These measurements
can carry gross tonnage of bulk cargo of 38,893 metric tons. Coral
Emerald has a cargo holds’ capacity for 89,201 cubic meters... date: 17th May, 2008
Normannia
is bulk carrier, which is the only one similar ship, property of
Ahrenkieal Group. The company is one of the largest ship-owners
in Europe and even just having any interests in bulk carrying is
making Ahrenkiel important for shipping. Normannia was put on water
in the year 1997. The ship has deadweight of 42,648 metric tons,
and is from the group of small bulk carriers. Normannia has a length
of 181.50 meters and a beam of 30.50 meters... date: 11th May, 2008
Baosteel
Evolution is one of the largest newly built bulk carriers. Baosteel
Evolution is property of Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., one of
the largest China steel companies, but Ambitious Line S.A. is operating
with this large ship. Do you wonder how is looking a new, modern
and very nice large bulk carrier? You may just have a look to the
ship Baosteel Evolution. It is part of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines fleet
and has two more sister-ships – Baosteel Expedition and Baosteel... date: 30th April,

Do
you wonder what is looking the largest bulk carrier vessel built
ever. That definitely is MS Berge Stahl. The ships is part of the
fleet of Bergesen d.y. ASA. The flag of the ship is in Stavanger,
Norway. This is a little bit strange, because it was previously
registered in Monrovia, Liberia, but with changing of ship-owners
they changed the flag too. The ship MS Berge Stahl is designed to
carry iron in bulk. Her deadweight is a 364,767 m.t... date: 11th March,

One
of the largest bulk carriers built ever is the owe owned by Pronav
- SAAR N. The vessel is with deadweight of 122,259 mtons, which
is very much for bulk carrier. SAAR N has BRT of 63,152 mtons and
NRT of 37,568 mtons.The vessel is with lenght of 266.0m and the
beam is 40m. Also the draft of the vessel is 15.42m, and it is very
hard or it to come into many of ports, because of large measurements.
If you like big ships you should know that they need of a lot of
power... date: 6th March, 2008
