The cargo ship BW Fjord (ex Berge Fjord) is one of the most interesting
and the largest vessels of the world. Definitely the modern cargo
ships are usually built to be larger and more profitable, but cargo
ships like BW Fjord will stay in the history of shipping and maritime
transport for a long time. The ore carrier has overall length of
331.50 meters and length between perpendiculars of 316.00 meters.
The ship is designed to be giant and to have large cargo capacity.
The moulded breadth 57.20 meters, while the extreme breadth of the
ship is reaching 57.26 meters. The ore carrier has depth of 30.90
meters and draught of 23.19 meters, if the ship is fully loaded.
The vessel BW Fjord has summer deadweight of 310,698 metric tons
and gross tonnage of 159,534 gross tons. The net tonnage of the
ship is 63,935 net tons. The ore carrier is really good in engineering,
having high productivity and low fuel consumption. The vessel is
designed with double hull technology. The ore carrier was built
in 1986 by Industrias Verolme Ishibras in the ship-yard of Brazil
Estaleiros S.A. The ship was built and christened under the name
of Docefjord, later renamed for Berge Fjord and till the year 2010
she carries the name BW Fjord. But all these names are on the same
bulk carrier.
The ship is having strong and reliable propulsion system, which
is providing high speed and low fuel consumption...

One
of the largest and most modern bulk carriers of the world definitely
is the newly built vessel BAO FU. The ship was completed in the
Asian Ship-yard of Namura Shipbuilding – Imari. Definitely
this ship-yard is among the highest quality and largest in the world,
created some of the best known ships sailing around the oceans with
thousands tons of cargo. The bulk carrier BAO FU was completed on
26th October 2010, having deadweight of 250,877 metric tons and

this bulk carrier and imagine how such machinery can be constructed.
The ship BAO FU has length between perpendiculars of 321.00 meters,
beam of 57.00 >meters and depth of 25.10 meters. The gross tonnage
of the ship BAO FU is 132,536 gross tons and the draft, while fully
loaded can reach 18.00 meters. BAO FU vessel is designed to be ore
carrier. The transportation of heavy cargoes usually make some restrictions
in ship strength and design. Large and small cargo holds interchange
alongside of the vessel, which is basic feature of ore carriers.
Such design is important for ship's strength and stability while
carrying cargoes or sailing under ballast. The
ship is the first from the series of vessel designed with such sizes
in Imari Shipyard. The bulk carrier BAO FU is WOZMAX type ship,
which means that the ship is following the restrictions of Western
Australia ports. The design of the ship is improved, having low
water resistance, reliable engine... date: 24th March 2011
