 The
vessel with name Mineral Nippon is one newly built and very large
bulk carrier. The ship has a deadweight of 200,000 metric tons.
The vessel is property of Southern Route Maritime, S.A. and the
ship-builder was Universal Shipbuilding Corp. The vessel Mineral
Nippon is pretty large with an overall length of 290 meters, length
between perpenduculars, breadth in the middle of 50 meters, depth
of 24.10 meters and draft in the middle 17.88 meters, while the
ship is fully loaded. The exact deadweight of the vessel Mineral
Nippon is 203,275 metric tons and the gross tonnage is 101,933 metric
tons. The cargo hold capacity of the Mineral Nippon is 217,968 cubic
meters. The main enegine of the vessel is MAN B&W 6S70MC, which
gives enough power to the ship to reach the speed of 16.25 knots.
The cruising speed of the ship is 15.73 knots. The fuel consumption
of the ship is reduced to minimum amount, which is ecological and
profitable for the ship-owner. The vessel has a high propulsion
efficiency and newly improved hull form. The propulsion system is
new and better for easier use of the main engine and to reduce the
friction with water.
The main engine gives enough power to Mineral Nippon
but reducing of the fuel consumtion comes not only from the engine.
Very interesting innovation is the surf-buld, rudder finishing with
bulb is provided after the propeller.The ship is equipped with a
long stroke, for lower speed, 2-stroke turbo-charged diesel engine,
which reduced the fuel consumption and energy saving. the bow is
shaped with newly Ax-bow form, which can decrease the wave resistance
off shore. The vessel has 9 holds for cargo, which are with newly
improved system for loading and unloading and this increase the
profitablity and the useness of Mineral Nippon.
