Ernst
Jacob Shipping Ltd is ship-owner of some large product tankers,
but today we will claim some smaller tankers, which should be mentioned
in Maritime Transport, because these vessels are so much that we
will see many different classifications. Today's article is the
ship Johann Jacob. The product oil tanker has deadweight of 64,993
metric tons. For product tanker this is pretty big deadweight and
this ship is among large ones. The overall length of Johann Jacob
is 228.5 meters and the length between perpendiculars is 219 meters.
The beam of this product ship is 32.24 meters and the depth 20.20
meters. These two measurements are write on molded values. The net
tonnage of the ship Johann Jacob is 20,900 Net Tons and the Gross
tonnage is 40,037 Gross Tons. And when we are talking about cargo
calacity, we should claim that TPC (Ton Per Centimetre) is 66.2
tons. This value is among
the most important ones in cargo ship
description. This value describes how much cargo the ship can carry
on board and this is the most important thing about ship-owner.
And after these words, we should come back to Johann Jacob, and
tell than cargo space capacity is 75,783 cubic meters. With different
cargo types the ship can be restricted by cargo space or by draft.
It depends from the density of the cargo.
The classification of product tanker Johann Jacob is
+A1 (E) Oil Tanker, SH + AMS + ACCU. This is classification of American
Bureau of Shipping and for many people is not giving any strong
information. The vessel is registered on Cayman Islands as more
of the ships of Johann Jacob Shipping Ltd. The ship is registered
with IMO number 9189134 and the Call Sign is ZCFH2. The ship Johann
Jacob was built in September 2000
in the ship-yard of Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. Korea. The
vessel is high qualited and in very good condition. The cargo tanks
on board are 12 and the number of slop tanks are 2. The vessel can
carry 4 different cargoes, which is pretty large differency of cargos
about one tanker. The Johann Jacob has main engine MAN B&W 6S
60 MC with full power of 12,240 kW at 89 rpm. The main engine is
strong in low revolutions with is giving a high reliability and
very effective speed. All tankers are made with lowest revolution
engines and low power, because they are not built for high speed
vessels. That is why this ship has also the cruising speed of 13.6
knots and the maximum speed is 14.3 knots. This ship is equipped
with fixed pitch propeller from M-Ni-Al-Br Blades Keyless. The auxiliary
diesel generators on board of Johann Jacob are three Yanmar 6N21AL
with power of 700 kW each. And this can show you easily that on
board of this ship in the year 2000was installed the best components
and most modern equipment. This is giving to the ship-owner high
profits and the ship is very environmental and economy. The engine
room is from new generation, as the more modern ships. And this
can easily be visible by all descriptions, which we made about engines,
generators and propeller. The propulsion system is very good designed
to give high power to the ship, with decreasing fuel consumption.
