One
ore carrier, which is revealing the newest technologies in ship-building
is Cosco Ansteel. The cargo ship has deadweight of 297,719 metric
tons and gross tonnage of 150,971 gross tons. The ship was built
in the years of financial crisis according to latest requirements
and latest innovations on ship-building and engineering. The cargo
ship has length of 327.00 meters and moulded breadth of 55.00 meters.
The Cosco Ansteel has depth of 29.25 meters and when fully loaded
has draft of 21.40 meters. The ship is quite large and building
of such vessel always cost a lot of troubles for the ship-builder.
The company created this modern and very large ship is Universal
Shipbuilding Corporation and the ship-yard hosted this giant is
Ariake Shipyard. We can see that this vessel is created according
to latest requirements of IMO and requirements for high profit and
low fuel consumption from the ship-owner Sinobright Shipping Ltd.
The cargo vessel Cosco Ansteel has main engine Hitachi MAN-B&W
6S80MC-C, which is very high quality allowing the ship to reach
maximum speed of 15.1 knots, while the service speed is 14.5 knots.
The ship is Unimax ore carrier, which is created for transport iron
ore from the ports in Brazil to China.The ship has deadweight under
300,000 metric tons... date: 29th December, 2009
One
of the newest and most modern bulk carriers definitely is Alexandra
P. The owner of this beauty is Auckland Trading Co registered in
Liberia, which gave the flag for the ship also. The Capesize bulk
carrier was built by Sasebo Heavy Industries Co Ltd, which is new
company engaged with ship-building. The cargo ship has deadweight
of 181,255 metric tons and gross tonnage of 93,385 gross tons. The
overall length of the ship is 292.00 meters and the length between
perpendiculars is 283.00 meters. The moulded breadth of the ship
is 45.00 meters and the depth is 24.70 meters. Really we can imagine
the size of this bulk carrier and know how many cargo she is carrying
only with one voyage. The draft, when Alexandra P is fully loaded
is 16.50 meters. Such large ship is in need of very reliable and
strong engine, which will give enough power for the engine to reach
service speed needed for carrying bulk. Because the required speed
for carrying bulk is not so high, more important for the ship-owner
is to have vessel with low fuel consumption at this speed. The main
engine used from the ship-builder is MAN B&W 6S70MC-C, which
gives power enough for the vessel to sail with 15.4 knots. The fuel
consumption with this speed is about 69.10 tons per day. The speed
is for vessel sailing under ballast... date: 29th December, 2009

the ships are the most important spot in maritime transport last
years, but definitely bulk carriers are one of the most productive
in the industry. Today we will present the motor vessel Red Sea
Spirit. The ship has length of 146.00 meters and beam of 23.30 meters.
The draft, when the ship is fully loaded is 9.44 meters, while the
distance between the keel and the top of the mast is 54.24 meters.
The ship has deadweight of 17,500 metric tons, while gross tonnage
of the ship is 11,968 gross tons. The bulk carrier Red Seas Spirit
has net tonnage of 6,534 net tons. The ship has 4 cargo holds, with
4 cargo hatches with pontoon type, which allow separate loading
and discharging of the vessel. The ship was built in 1978 in Japan
as general cargo vessel, but in 1999 in Turkey was reconstructed
to become bulk carrier for the new Greek ship-owner - Carson Shipping
Inc. The bulk carrier Red Sea Spirit has main engine Mitsubishi
B&W6L55GF with power of 8000 hp. This power allows for the ship
to realize maximum speed of 14.9 knots, while the service speed
is 12.5 knots. With this speed the bulk carrier has fuel consumption

Azul
Fortuna is one of the largest bulk carriers of the world and definitely
one of the engineer wonders. The ship has overall length of 299.95
meters, while the length between perpendiculars is 294.27 meters.
The moulded beam of the ship is 50.00 meters and the moulded depth
is 24.10 meters. Azul Fortuna is really large ship with deadweight
of 203,095 metric tons, while the draft, when the ship is fully
loaded is 17.91 meters. The summer freeboard of the ship is 6255
mm and the cargo capacity of the ship is 217,968 cubic meters of
grain. The ship Azul Fortuna has gross tonnage of 101,933 gross
tons and net tonnage of 66,396 net tons. The ship is really amazing
and we can tell that this is one of the largest bulk carriers built
ever. We can understand the measurements of the ship, just when
we see such large vehicle. Really Azul Fortuna is quite large and
this enormous sailing ship, is in need of strong engine, and the
designers of Osaka Boiler MFG CO Ltd. thought about this and installed
MAN B&W 6S70, which has total power of 22,924 kW or 16,860 hp,
which gives ability for the ship to realize maximum speed of 16.7
knots... date: 16th December, 2009
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,

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... 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... date: 8th June, 2009
Yes in the section Bulk Carriers a lot of ships, can find good place

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
