Seri
Bakti is the largest LNG carrier built with membrane type. The vessel
is produced in the Nagasaki Shipyard and Machinery Works by the
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd, which is one of the largest and
best companies for ship-building. The cargo tank capacity of the
vessel is 152,944 cubic meters and this makes the vessel pretty
large and profitable for the ship-owner. The vessel is the largest
one built from the series of five membrane LNG carriers, ordered
from the largest shipping company of Malaysia - MISC. The agreement
as signed in 2004 and this year on water was out the first and largest
vessel - Seri Bakti. The vessel has an overall length of 289.80
meters and length between perpendiculars is 276.80 meters. Seri
Bakti has a beam of 46.50 meters, depth of 25.80 meters in the middle
and draft in the middle of 11.25 meters, while the vessel is fully
loaded. The gross tonnage of the vessel is 105,335 metric tons.... date: 30th June, 2008
Clipper
Sky is the newly built LPG carrier built by Kawasaki Shipbuilding
Corporation. The vessel is property of Partrederiet Clipper Sky
DA. and will be operated by the large ship-owners of Bergesen D.Y.
ASA and Solvang ASA of Norway. This was a great deal for the companies
of Bergesen D.Y. ASA and Solvang ASA of Norway, which ordered 4
more LPG carrier, from this series.
Clipper Sky has a cargo capacity of 59,200 cubic
meters. The deadweight of the new LPG carrier of Bergesen is 44,617
metric tons and the gross tonnage of the vessel is 35,158 metric
tons. The length of Clipper Sky is 204.91 meters, the length between
perpendiculars is 200,45 meters, the beam is 32.20 meters and the
draught is 20.20 meters. The vessel has a draft of 12.10 meters,
while fully loaded.... date: 21st June, 2008
Celestine
River is vessel finished just some months ago from the famous ship-yard
of Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The ship is one of the largest LNG
Carriers, built ever, and the deadweight that it has is 77,163 metric
tons, the length of Celestine River is 289.70 meters, the beam is
49 meters and the draft is 11.49 meters, when the vessel is fully
loaded . The gross tonnage of the vessel is 117,895 metric tons
and the cargo capacity into the tanks is 145,394 cubic meters of
natural gas. The vessel has a too big measurements and this fact
needs a strong and very useful engine and propulsion system. The
main engine of Celestine River is Kawasaki UA-400 stream turbine.
The full power that this main engines gives to the ship is 26,900
kW at 80 rpm. This power is enough for the
ship to do all the necessary jobs by keeping the gas in low temperatures... date: 27th May, 2008
British
Councillor is the vessel from type VLGC (very Large Gas Carriers).
This is a newly type of vessels, and I think that this vessel is
opening a new page into the Gas Carrying. British Councillor is
ship built in 2007 and absolutely new and innovative designed. The
deadweight of the vessel is 54,450 metric tons and the cargo capacity
of the vessel is 83,270 cubic meters. The ships is designed to carry
liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and has double hull, as requirement of
IMO from 1994. British Councillor has a length of 230 meters, width
of 36.6 meters and draft of 11.6 meters. These measurements of the
vessel are making her a large and very useful for the ship-owner.
British Councillor has a maximum speed of 18.9 knots, and economy
speed of 15.9 knots... date: 26th May, 2008
British
Innovator is vessel, which is giving a lot of innovations into the
world of gas carrying. This ship is LNG carrier (Liquid Natural
Gas Carrier) is designed with double hull technology, which is required
by IMO for the last 15 years, and saves the world from possible
flowing into the ocean. Such may be a grand disaster for the whole
sea life. The deadweight of British Innovator is 75,074 metric tons.
The length of the ship is 278.8 meters and the beam of the vessel
is 42.6 meters. The draft of British Innovator, when she is fully
loaded is 11.35 meters. The vessel can reach the maximum speed of
20.1 knots, and the economy speed is the very good 17.9 knots. With
this speed and with innovations into the engine system the vessel
is reducing the fuel consumption of fuel with more than 10%, and
CO2 emissions with nearly 8% from all other ships from the same
class. The vessel has innovative engine and very good shape for
reducing strength of the water.... date: 26th May, 2008
Elbegas
is one real engineer wonder of world of shipping, not because of
its large size, or high-technology engines, but mostly because of
the dangerous cargo, which this vessel is carrying. Elbegas is LPG
(Liquid Peroleum Gas) Carrier, with deadweight of 7,656 metric tons.
The vessel was built in the late year 1983, when the ship-building
was not so well developed, but in spite of that it is sailing absolutely
safety, through the years... date: 19th May, 2008
The
largest vessel that is carrying LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) definitely
is one of the most beautiful technical outfit built ever. It is
part from the fleet of BP Shipping, but it was built is South Korea
in the ship-yard of Hyundai Heavy Industries. This ship is the first
from the series of diesel-electric gas vessels with dual-fuel (DFDE).
It was planned for the ship-owner and will give a new movement into
LNG carriers... date: 18th March, 2008
When we
are talking about dangerous ships we can not miss the Gas carriers.
This type of merchant ships are very explodable an can make very
serious damages to the nature just for minutes in well working atmosphere.
The ship with name Alstergas is part of Ahrenkiel fleet and has
a deadweight of 4,999 tdw. The cargo capacity of this ships is 4,116
cubic meters, devided into 4 bilobes. The ship has a length of 99.91
m... date: 11th March, 2008
