Splendiks
is the name of newly built bulk carrier by the famous shipbuilder
Universal Shipbuilding Corporation. The ship was completed in 2006
in Tsu Shipyard and really is amazing us with large cargo space,
and measurements. The overall length of Splendiks is 300.00 meters,
the beam is 50.00 meters and draft when the vessel is fully loaded
is 17.88 meters. The size of the ship is really amazing and the
deadweight is 203,233 metric tons, with gross tonnage of 101,933
Gross Tons. The ship Splendiks is really design according to latest
requirements of IMO for ship stability and ship-safety. The ship
is part of some new class called Newcastle-maxim, claimed for the
most efficient vessel for sizes of draft and deadweight. The bow
is designed with shape of Ax-Bow, reducing the resistance of the
sea and increasing productivity of the main engine. But when talking
about productivity and speed of the ship, definitely should note
that the main engine is MAN B&W 6S70MC Mk6, one of the best
types of engines, giving power enough for the ship to reach maximum
speed of 15.2 knots. The voyage speed of the ship is 14.7 knots,

RTM
Wakmatha is the suitable bulk carrier for navigation through Great
Barrier Reef, which is the making the ship very important for the
ship-owner of Rio Tinto Shipping Limited. The bulk carrier has deadweight
of 90,338 metric tons and gross tonnage of 53,988 gross tons. The
overall length of the vessel RTM Wakmatha is 235.67 meters, while
the length between perpendiculars is 226.00 meters. The beam of
the vessel is 43.00 meters and depth is 19.50 meters. When the bulk
carrier RTM Wakmatha is fully loaded the draft reaches 12.80 meters.
The measurements of the ship are showing us the what this monster
looks like. But the problem of how this vessel can be moved easiest
for maneuvering is solved by the main engine of HITACHI-MAN B&W
6S60MC-C (Mark7). This is latest innovation of B&W engines,
developed by Hitachi, to give high power and large maneuverability.
The main engine is giving to the vessel power of 13,500 kW x 105rpm,
which is enough for the ship t reach maximum speed of 15.4 knots.
The cruising speed is a little bit lower to about 15.0 knots. This
beautiful and useful ship RTM Wakmatha was created by Namura... date: 29th June, 2009
The
company Bergesen ASA is one of the best known companies in bulk
carrying. The ships of the company are among the largest of the
world shipping. The one, we will present you today is exactly part
of this fleet. The ship is Berge Bonde. This is one of the newest
innovations and best built bulk carriers of Asian Shipbuilding.
The vessel was completed in 2005 by Imabari Shipbuilding in one
of the best quality yards – Saijo Shipyard. Berge Bonde is
one 205,000 DWT ore carriers, registered in Panama and sailing under
the flag of Bergesen ASA. The ship is really amazing in size with
its overall length of 299.94 meters, while the length between perpendiculars
is 291.40 meters. The beam of the vessel is 50.00 meters and the
depth is 24.50 meters. While the ship is fully loaded she can reach
her maximum draft of 18.10 meters. The deadweight of Berge Bonde
is 206,312 metric tons, while the gross tonnage is 104,727 gross
tons. With these principal particulars, the ore carrier has cargo
capacity for 220,021.91 cubic meters. This large and modern cargo
ship is in need of modern and very high quality engine. The builders
from Imabari, decided to install... date: 16th June, 2009
Cape
Dover is one of the new and large bulk carriers. The ship is really
large and has deadweight of 185,000 metric tons. This is high value
for this sector of maritime transport. We all know that bulk carriers
are ships, which usually a times smaller than this one, because
it is pretty hard to complete ship with such size, bulk cargo and
enough ship’s stability. But Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation
did it and created one of the best and most modern bulk cargo ships.
Cape Dover was completed in 2006 in the Sakaide Shipyard. The proud
owner of this beautiful ship is “K” Line Bulk Shipping
(UK) Limited. The cargo ship has overall length of 290.00 meters,
while the length between perpendiculars is 280.00 meters. The beam
of the ship is 47.00 meters, with depth of 24.40 meters and draft,
while the ship is fully loaded of 17.95 meters. These are simple
measurements of the bulk carrier. Cape Dover is one really innovating
and reliable ship, designed with latest requirements of IMO to be
safety and environmental. The deadweight of the vessel is 185,000
metric tons, with gross tonnage of 92,99... date: 16th June, 2009
One
of the largest bulk carriers of the world, definitely should be
mentioned as Waterman N ship. Ships from the category of Waterman
N are large bulk carriers, because of their size and cargo capacity.
They can carry hundreds thousands of cargo around the oceans from
one port to another, but with low productivity, because of low maneuverability
and restrictions in bulk harbors. Waterman N has length of 328.00
meters and moulded beam of 54.00 meters. The draft of the vessel,
when fully loaded is 20.00 meters and the deadweight tonnage is
260,000 metric tons. Such large bulk carriers are not built recently
due to high consumption of money, time and low productivity. The
Waterman N was built in 1985 in the ship-yard of Hyundai Heavy Industries
in Korea. This was giant project for the ship-builder, which definitely
is one of the best known builders and producers of ships in the
world. Whatever, building of 260,000 metric tons is a challenge
and this challenge was completed by Hyundai Heavy Industries. The
ship... date: 8th June, 2009

one of the most discussed pojects last months was creating of the
largest ore carrier of the world. The grand project was taken from
the large and well known ship-builder Imabari Shipbuilding Co.,
Ltd. The ship will be called IS Brastar and will have the deadweight
of 335,000 metric tons. This project is really amazing in size and
specifications. The ship will have overal length of 339.90 meters
and length between perpendiculars of 330.00 meters. The ships from
this class are rare last years, because of the economy crisis, but
Imabari will built one of the largest ship last years. The ship
