One
of VLLC of the world, definitely should be claimed into our presentation
of the interesting and not so interesting ships. Idemitsu Maru is
very large cruise carrier with deadweight of 300,100 metric tons.
The gross tonnage that this vessel can carry is 160,300 metric tons.
This large oil tanker was built in November 2007 and with her innovations
is one of the newest and most beautiful engineer outfits. The length
of Idemitsu Maru 333 meters and the beam is 60 meters. The draught
of the crude carrier is 29 meters and draft, while this ship is
fully loaded is 19.2 meters. So large measurements and so large
steel plates is very hard to stay over the water, and even a small
mistake in engineers calculations may cause a low safety of this
vessel. So the engineers had predicted a large free board for bigger
safety and higher stability level... date: 30th May, 2008
The
company leader in oil carrying, definitely is Euronav, Belgium.
The vessel that we will present to you now is Ardenne Venture, part
of the Euronav fleet with cooperation of Wah Kwong Shipmanagement,
company situated in Hong Kong. The vessel was registered in Hong
Kong and the IMO number of Ardenne Venture is 9290347. The vessel
is VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) and the deadweight that it has
is 318,658 metric tons. This large vessel has length of 332.99 meters
and width of 60 meters. These great measurements gave to the vessel
draft of 22.5 meters. This large vessel is one of the largest ships
of the world, part of the family of Super-tankers. The Ardenne Venture
was built in year 2004 in the shipyard of Hyundai Heavy Industries... date: 27th May, 2008
Motor
vessel “Taiga” is one of the largest cruide carriers of
the world. But that is not everything about the ship, because it
is the newest vessel designed with newest innovations and technologies
on board to prenet pollution and to save the Earth from any type
of pollution. The ship was built by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding
Co. Ltd. On 28th March, 2007 and is part of the group of largect
vessels of the world – VLCC (Very Marge Crude Carriers). The
deadweight of m/v Taiga is 311,141 metric tons, while the Gross
tonnage is 160,109 metric tons. These measurements are giving to
the vessel front place of newly built ships. The ship has overall
length of 333 meters and length between perpendiculars of 324 meters.
The beam of m/v “Taiga” is 60 meters... date: 17th May, 2008
One
of newly built and very modern ships property of the large ship-owner
company “Ernst Jacob” is the double hull oil tanker Urals
Star. The vessel has a deadweight of 114,847 metric tons, a length
of 253.5 meters and a beam of 44 meters. The depth of the oil tanker
is 21 meters. The Gross tonnage of Urals Star is 63,700 metric tons
and the Net tonnage is 34,900 metric tons. This means that TOC of
the oil tanker of Ernst Jacob company is 100,5 t. That value is
important for loading and discharging of the vessel because due
to this value you may understand what will be draft of the ship
in exact loading. The ship may reach a speed of 15.6 knots, but
the optimal cruising speed of Urals Star... date: 15th May, 2008
One
of the greatest oil tankers of Ernst Jacob Group is the one called
Kim Jacobs. The ship has a deadweight of 159,211 metric, which classify
this vessel into the large crude carrier (LCC). The oil tanker Kim
Jacobs has a length of 274 meters and a beam of 48 meters. The vessel
has a draft of 23.20 meters. With these measurements that vessel
has gross tonnage of 81,265 metric tons and net tonnage of 50,735
metric tons... date: 11th May, 2008
TI
Oceania is definitely one of the four largest vessels of the world
fleet. The ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) was built in the year
of 2002 in the Daewoo ship-yard is South Korea, by the shipping
company Hellespont. TI Oceania is one of the four sister-ships,
which are largest double-hulled supertankers, and just a month ago
I wrote one issue about one of them. The four vessel are TI Europe,
TI Asia, TI Oceania and TI Africa... date: 24th April,

The
largest super-tanker built ever is named Knock Nevis. It is well
known as Seawise Giant, Happy Giant or Jahre Viking, but with changing
of ship-owners and its function are coming new names. Now the vessel
is operating as a storage tank to the platforms in Qatar. That was
dictated, because of its large measurements. The vessel has a deadweight
of 565,000 metric tons, a length of 458 meters and a beam of 69
meters. When it is fully loaded it cannot... date: 20th March,

Do
you wonder how looks the largest ship in the world? Do you think
that it is sailing? How it looks, what it is? I'll give you an answer
to all of your questions, and will show you the largest ship in
the world. This is TI Europe. The ships like this are called ULCC
(Ultra Large Crude Carrier). The ship is wearing crude oil and petrol
from the Persian Bay to USA and Western Europe ports. Ships like
this are very interesting in engineering point of view... date: 28th February,
