 Normannia
is bulk carrier, which is the only one similar ship, property of
Ahrenkieal Group. The company is one of the largest ship-owners
in Europe and even just having any interests in bulk carrying is
making Ahrenkiel important for shipping. Normannia was put on water
in the year 1997. The ship has deadweight of 42,648 metric tons,
and is from the group of small bulk carriers. Normannia has a length
of 181.50 meters and a beam of 30.50 meters. The ship has a draft
of 11.35 meters, and this allows her to enter in almost every port
of the world shipping. And because we started with measurements
and facts about Normannia, I will finish with gross tonnage and
net tonnage, which are 24,987 and 13,532 metric tons. That is the
only one bulk carrier of the group, that owns the largest fleet
in the world of Chemical Tankers and Oil Tankers.
Normannia
was built in the years 1997 in the ship-yard of Ishikawajima-Harina
Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. Aichi Work, Japan. The ship is classified
by German Lloyd Register and every year pass some certificate classification
because of the requirements of the ship-owner and Lloyd. Normannia
is sailing under Liberian flag and the port of register is Monrovia,
as the most of Ahrenkiel vessels. The ship has almost all  extras,
which are popular in the year of building and the quality of the
materials is absolute. The Japan ship-yard is one of the best in
the world, so you should be sure that this vessel with have a high
rates of stability and steadiness.
The
ship can reach a cruising speed of 14 knots, but economy one is
13.5 knots. The maximum speed that Normannia can reach is 15.6 knots.
To reach these speed that I mentioned, the ship needs a large engine.
So the main engine of Normannia is Sulzer 6RTA48T, MCR with power
of 6,990 kW at 106 rpm. The auxiliary diesel generators installed
on Normannia are 3 numbers of Daihatsu 5DK-20 with power of 520
kW each at 900 rpm. These diesel generators help to electricity
system of the vessel, mostly in maneuvering, entering in ports and
loading and discharging. The ship has no bow thruster, mostly because
the voyages are too long, to need entering into ports so often.
Normannia engine is using a heavy fuel oil of RMG 380, which is
very ecological and the ship is not making any pollutions of the
ocean. That is very important in the modern world of shipping and
ships’ building.
Normannia
has 5 hold, all with grain capacity of 52,680 cubic meters or bale
capacity 52,679 cubic meters.
