Cheikh
El Mokrani is gas carrier, which can be compared with largest ships
of the world. Definitely talking about such vessel, we should mention
that this is Mediterranean Max LNG Carrier, which has capacity of
75,500 cubic meters of natural gas. Really Cheikh El Mokrani is
great prove for developing of ships industry and showing that even
in the most dangerous type of ships can be build large and reliable
vessels. The LNG Carrier Cheikh El Mokrani has overall length of
219.95 meters and beam of 22.55 meters. The draft of the vessel,
while fully loaded can reach 9.75 meters. These measurements are
giving to the ship deadweight of 38,164 metric ton, while the Gross
Tonnage is 52,855 gross tons. The LNG Carrier Cheikh El Mokrani
is driven by Steam turbine, which gives for the vessel power to
reach service speed of 17.5 knots, while the maximum ones can reach
more than 19.4 knots. This is very high speed even for Gas Carrier,
which is making the ship quite profitable for the company owning
it. This engineer wonder was built by Universal Shipbuilding Corporation
into its Tsu Shipyard... date: 14th October, 2009
Arctic
Voyager is really one of the most interesting, in engineer point
of view, ships carrying Liquid Natural Gas, built last years. The
vessel was ordered from Lloyds TSB Equipment Leasing and built by
the famous ship-builder Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation according
to requirements for the project “Norway Snowvit”. This
feature of the LNG Carrier means that vessel is with boosted hull,
which can sail in ice. The vessel was built according to latest
developments of shipbuilding and designed to endure heavy seas and
hard weather conditions. The overall length of Arctic Voyager is
289.50 meters, while the length between perpendiculars is 277.00
meters. The beam, of the vessel is 48.40 meters and the depth is
26.50 meters. The draft of Arctic Voyager, when the ship is fully
loaded can read maximum value of 11.90 meters. These measurements
are giving to the vessel deadweight of 75,434 metric tons, while
the Gross Tonnage is 118,571 gross tons. The cargo tank capacity
is over 140,000 cubic meters, which is large amount of cargo, which
can be transported by this new and modern LNG Carrier. Arctic Voyager
is really one of the most reliable ships, built ever. It is really
hard to design and build vessel.... date: 14th October, 2009
The
cargo ship Arctic Discoverer is one of the most impressive LNG Carriers
built last years. The ship has deadweight of 75,485 metric tons
and gross tonnage of 118,571 gross tons. The cargo capacity of the
gas carrier is 140,000 cubic meters. All these measurements are
really impressive, but the thing, which amused us was the Ice class
of the LNG Carrier. Such ships are really dangerous and even easier
pressure over the hull may cause explosion, but Arctic Discoverer
is designed to sail in the ice. The ship was built by Mitsui Engineering
& Shipbuilding Co Ltd. This is one of the high quality ship-yards
in Asia creating really amazing ship in design and engineer point
of view. The ship has overall length of 289.50 meters and length
between perpendiculars of 277.00 meters. The beam of the ice class
ship is 48.40 meters, draught of 26.50 meters and draft of 11.30
meters, when the ship is fully loaded. The important feature of
the ship is the ice strengthening of the hull, which allows for
the vessel to carry cargo in North Sea and other arctic seas. The
ship Arctic Discoverer is really good designed... date: 18th August, 2009
BW
Broker is LPG carrier property of Fair Wind Navigation S.A. The
cargo ship is quite interesting in designer point of view, because
the hull shape is innovatively designed to be safety, environmental
and fast. The BW Broker has overall length of 226.00 meters, but
the length between perpendiculars is 222.00 meters. The beam of
the LPG Carrier is 37.20 meters and the depth of the board is 21.00
meters. When the vessel is fully loaded the draft reaches maximum
size of 11.20 meters. The ship has deadweight of 53,293 metric tons
and the gross tonnage of 45,805 gross tons. The ship BW Broker has
cargo capacity of 80,126 cubic meters. The ships from the class
are really dangerous, not as much as LNG Carriers, but also have
high restrictions and very strong requirements for ships’
safety. That is why it is quite hard to introduce some innovations
in such cargo ships. The builders of Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation
broke all the rules are created one very modern and very high quality
vessel in the Sakaide shipyard. The main engine of the vessel is
Kawasaki-MAN B&W 7S60MC-C.... date: 18th August, 2009
The
LNG Carier Kakurei Maru is one of the newest vessel built in this
class of ships. The vessel was finished by Kawasaki Shipbuilding
on 27th November 2008 and delivered to the ship-owner Tsurumi Sunmarine
Co., Ltd. the ship has overal length of 86.29 meters, while length
between perpendiculars is 80.30 meters. The beam of the vessel is
15.10 meters and the depth is 7.00 meters. The ship has deadweight
of 1,801 metric tons. The ship's gross tonnage is 2,952 gross tons
with cargo capacity of 2,512 cubic meters and while Kakurei Maru
is fully loaded, she reaches draft of 4.30 meters. The main engine
of the ship is Hanshin Diesel LH38L, which is giving to the vessel
power of 2,059 kW at 240 rpm. This is allowing of the ship about
13.0 knots cruising speed, while the maximum one is 13.6 knots.
The ships from this class are well known, as dangerous and flamable.
So the restrictions for ship-building of such ships are high and
requirements for safety are also high. The
ship Kakurei Maru was built as coastal LNG carrier type developed
for convenient short distance transport... date: 6th April, 2009
The gas
carrier Rhourd Enouss is one of the large and very profitable for
the ship-owner Sonatrach Petroleum Corporation, which is operating
with large number of LPG ships. The vessel has capacity for 59,392
cubic meters and deadweight of 44,399 metric tons, with gross tonnage
of 35,306 gross tons. The LPG Carrier has overal length of 204.92
meters, length between perpendiculars of 200.45 meters. The beam
of Rhourd Enouss is 32.20 meters, depth is 20.20 meters and when
the vessel is fully loaded has draft of 12.10 meters. This large
vessel should have strong and reliable main engine, so the ship-builders... date: 6th April, 2009
Trinity
Arrow is the newest LNG Carrier with membrane type built by the
famous shipbuilder Imabari. The vessel has a cargo capacity of 154,900
cubic meters The vessel was built into the ship-yard of Koyo Dockyard
and the owner of the beautiful LNG Carrier is Trinity Transport
S.A. Trinity Arrow has a deadweight of 79,556 metric tons and gross
tonnage of 108,010 metric tons. The overall length of the vessel
is 289.93 meters and the length between perpendiculars is 276 meters.
The other measurements of the vessel Trinity Arrow are beam of 44.70
meters, draught of 26.00 meters and draft, while fully loaded of
12.07 meters... date: 24th July, 2008
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... 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
