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.
