One
container ship, which is not so well known, but created according
to latest requirements of IMO, MARPOL and SOLAS is Jazan. The ship
was built in Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2008 and on the namic ceremony
in Ulsan, South Korea on 25th July, 2008 was given to the ship-owner
United Arab Shipping Company. The ship is registered in Dammam,
Saudi Arabia under IMO number 9349540. The capacity of the container
ship Jazan is 6,919 TEU, in IMO statistic and the company is operating
with the same requirements. The overall length of the vessel is
306.00 meters, while the length between perpendiculars is 301.10
meters. The beam of the container ship is 42.50 meters and depth
is 24.50 meters. When the ship Jazan is fully loaded the draft is
14.00 meters. These measurements
are quite big, but not like the largest container ships of the world.
The deadweight of Jazan is 85,463 metric tons and the gross tonnage
is 75,597 gross tons. The ship was built according to all requirements
of the company and Imo, with engine MAN B&W, which can give
enough power for the ship to realize cruising speed of 24.9 knots.
The maximum speed of the container ship Jazan is 25.5 knots, which
is high speed even for container ship.
The ship is resigned with new, improved shape of the
propeller, which increase the power given from the main engine to
the vessel. The environmental requirements of MARPOL are fulfilled
from this ship, which is important theme for discussion last years.
The container ship is sailing on regular routes between Asia and
Europe in the cargo-river.
