James Park is the ship, which was highly discussed last days, due
to hijacking of Somali Pirates. The ship is chemical tanker with
deadweight of 13,924 metric tons and gross tonnage of 7,926 gross
tons. The ship is quite large for chemical tanker, carrying dangerous
cargoes from class B. The net tonnage of the chemical tanker is
4,736. The cargo vessel St James Park (or Saint James Park as it
is also known) has length of 132.00 meters and the beam is 20.50
meters. The depth of the ship is 8.80 meters and the draft, when
fully loaded can reach 7.90 meters. The ship is sailing under the
Great Britain’s flag for the company Zodiac Maritime Agencies

company through all the years. The chemical tanker is carrying usually
manufacture of plastics and sailing on voyages between Western Europe
and Asia. The ship has 30 cargo tanks divided into 3 groups –
10 central, 10 from starboard and 10 from port. Also there are 2
slop tanks for tank cleaning and storage of the dirty water. The

Millennium
Park is one more chemical tanker of the company Zodiac Maritime
Agencies Ltd in London. The ship is quite modern and built in 2008.
The cargo ship is one of the largest for the company in this class
and has amazing measurements and systems for preventing of water
and air pollution. The requirements of SOLAS and MARPOL and quite
high for this type of ships, but we can tell that Millennium Park
is covering all of them. Really this is one very beautiful and quite
interesting chemical tanker designed to carry some of the most dangerous
cargoes of the world. The cargo ship Millennium Park has overall
length of 145.50 meters, while the length between perpendiculars
is 142.30 meters. The moulded beam of the vessel is 23.70 meters
and the depth is 13.35 meters. When the ship is fully loaded the
summer draft can reach 9.72 meters. Really we can see the large
measurements of the ship and can compare it easily with the other
chemical tankers, because it is quite rarely met so large ships.
Millennium Park has summer deadweight of 19,998 metric tons and
the gross tonnage of 11,590 gross tons. The net tonnage of the ship
is 6,119 net tons and the TPC is 28.770 tons. The last measurement
is quite important for loading and discharging of the ship. This
value shows the how many tons... date: 29th December, 2009
When
we are talking about large and well known chemical tankers, we should
not miss ships like, this one, which we will introduce in this article.
The chemical tanker Stolt Falcon is the ship, buit in 1978 and gave
the beginning of whole class chemical tankers in the company of
Stolt Nielsen. The chemical tanker is neither newly refurbished
nor most modern ship, but in 2007 it got the award of ST&T for
ship of 2007. The ship is really large for this type of cargo ships.
Stolt Falcon has length of 177.00 meters, beam of 28.00 meters and
draft of 6.70 meters. The chemical tanker has deadweight of 37,200
metric tons and this is really large capacity for vessel carrying
so dangerous type of cargo. The ship was built in 1978 into the
ship-yard of Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd.
with hull number 3004. The ship is from the highest class of danger
according to IMO specifications, carrying chemicals from class A.
Stolt Falcon really is very safety, not because of the cargo on
board, or because of the safety equipment, but mostly because of
the well organized work on board... date: 27th January, 2009
Sunny
Leo is new chemical tanker built in 2008 year into the ship-yard
of Niigata Shipbuilding & Repair, Inc. under hull number 0027.
The ships like this one are from lower class of chemical tankers.
Sunny Leo is pretty small ship with deadweight of 6,717.55 metric
tons. In spite of this fact, the chemical tanker is designed to
carry all kind of chemicals, even the most dangerous class. The
gross tonnage of Sunny Leo is 4,550 gross tons. The ship looks very
small, and compared with the giants of sailing this is only the
small sailing boat, but the price of the cargo and the voyages are
as important as the other ships. The overall length of Sunny Leo
is 109.61 meters and the length between perpendiculars is 103.00
meters. The beam of the chemical tanker is 17.20 meters, depth is
8.90 meters and the draft is 6.65 meters. These measurements are
giving to the ship capacity for 22 compartments for cargo. As already
mentioned in many articles the all 22 tanks are separated with stainless
steel and the manifolds allow to the loaded each tank separately.
There is no other ship like chemical tanker, because here the lowest
mistake... date: 27th January, 2009

Tarantella
is one chemical tanker, which I hadn’t heart till today. I
met somewhere information about this ship and definitely became
speechless, because this ship is one perfectly designed vessel.
