Multitank
Britannia is the best known chemical tanker is the fleet of Ahrenkiel
Group. The vessel was built in 1996 in the ship-yard of Estaleiros
Navais de Viana do Castelo S. A. The ship-yard is high qualited
and Multitank Britannia is part of the six sisterships built in
this ship-yard for the German company. The parcel tanker has a length
of 99.81 meters and a beam of 16.50 meters. The draft of the vessel
is 6.79 and these measurements are giving to the ship deadweight
of 5,800 metric tons, gross tonnage of 3,726 GT and net tonnage
of 1,673 NT. The vessel is among the largest chemical tankers in
the year of building, but today this is just a sailing boat compared
with the large vessels of the all companies. The ship is pretty
modern for the years of building and the main engine is MAN B&W
7S35 MC, which is giving a power of 4,165 kW at 145 rpm. The ship
can reach maximum speed of 16.3 knots and cruising one is 14.2 knots
fully loaded and 15.6 knots under ballast. The vessel has 2 auxiliary
diesel generators, which are Caterpillar CAT 3508 - DI-TA, which
are giving full power of 673 kW
each at 1,500 rpm. Additional there is one shaft generator enough
for cargo operations and maneuvering into ports. The heavy fuel
oil used on board is HFO RMG 380. This is not bad fuel used for
sailing, which is pretty ecological very environmental. In fact
I have seen many times this vessel and I can tell that this ship
is among the best vessels of the company. Many about this had made
the resident captain of the Multitank Britannia, who is Kruse. The
bridge is very good designed and high modernized.
Multitank
Britannia is built in high rated ship-yard and all machinery and
equipment is well reliable and well tested. The vessel has most
modern cargo room equipment and the tanks are built from stainless
steel. The category of cargo, which Multitank Britannia can carry,
is class B (II category). The chemical tanker can carry 20 different
cargoes, because the cargo systems is designed to parcel style.
The navigational equipment on board is modern for the years of building,
but in spite of this it is quite difficult for using from the navigational
offices. We already explained about the features in navigational
equipment of one of the sister-ships of this parcel tanker –
Multitank Bolognia. That is why today we will not mention many information
about this part of the ship. date: 5th October, 2008
