The
company, which is taking leading place in Maritime Transport and
mostly in container shipping, is NYK Line. The newest vessel from
the fleet of this ship-owner is called NYK Orpheus and was built
in Kure Shipyard on 30th June, 2008. The vessel is large and very
innovated technology. The capacity of NYK Orpheus is 8,600 TEUs.
The vessel has length of 336.00 meters and beam of 45.80 meters.
The moulded depth of NYK Orpheus is 24.40 meters and the draft while
the container ship is fully loaded is 13.00 meters. The ship is
fourth and last in this series of ordered vessels to ship-builder
IHI Marine United Inc. NYK Orpheus is not only latest but also most
modern vessel created in container ship-building. The vessel’s
main engine is DU-Sulzer 12RT-flex 96C with high power and very
strong low-revolution system. The propulsion system is getting highest
performance vie electronically control system. To provide so high
technical innovations the builder had designed the outlooking of
the vessel to more dynamically and low resistant shape. The engineers
expertised the shape and construction, with the usage of CFD analyses,
3D-FEM ship analysises, walk-through simulation and apparatus installation
simulation by the CIM system. All these computer programs, systems
and whatever you can imagine provided the shape and the cargo system
and stowing of the vessel NYK Orpheus. The main engine has a power
of 65,210 kW and this gives for the container ship speed of 24.5
knots, while fully loaded. The maximum speed of the vessel is 27.1
knots, and cruising speed under ballast is 25.0 knots. The deadweight
of the ship is 96,490 metric tons and the Gross Tonnage is 99,400
gross tons.
The
ship is among most beautiful, most innovated, most modern and most
profitable vessels of the world. NYK
Orpheus is created by most environmental technologies to be safety
for the atmosphere. The CO2 emissions are lowest than ever, and
main engine of Sulzer is more effective with low fuel consumption.
The lub-oil consumption is also decreased because of material for
creating pistons of the cylinders in the main engine. NYK Orpheus
is also very spaceful ship with modern technology on the bridge
and good living area for the crew and officers according to the
best practice. The crew life has never been so easy as on such vessel,
because entertainments are increased much and much. NYK Orpheus
is container ship from the generation, so introducing of such vessel
is important for the full development of maritime Transport and
Container Shipping. date: 2nd November, 2008
