 Shin
Sanyo Maru is newly built bulk carrier of the ship-owner company
Antlers Maritima S.A. The ship was finished in February 2007, when
was the fist test from the ship-owner. Shin Sanyo Maru is vessel
built in Japan, into one of the best qualited ship-yards, and this
is exactly Oshima Shipbuilding Co. The vessel has deadweight of
89,999 metric tons and is specialized to carry bulk cargoes. The
vessel has a length of 235.05 meters, a width of 43.00 meters and
a draught of 18.55 meters. Shin Sanyo Maru is middle size vessel,
but pretty large bulk carrier. The ship is designed to be very effective
and a lot of profitable. That is why the ship has maximum allowed
Panama channel requirements, by width and draft. Shin Sanyo Maru
is one of the series of double side coal carriers, which the shipbuilding
company created. All the vessels are designed with innovative engine,
form and size. Everything is more efficient, than the every other
vessel. The cargo capacity of Shin Sanyo Maru is 108,929 cubic meters,
divided into 5 cargo holds. The holds are designed specially with
wider inner bottom area, which is making the discharging of the
vessel easier and the cargo in the hold with nearly 5% more, than
the every other hold shape.
 Shin
Sanyo Maru is vessel, which is looking large and beautiful, in spite
of its middle size. The ship has main engine Mitsubishi 6UEC60LSII
with power of 16,200 kW at 105 rpm. The economy (cruising) speed
of the vessel is 14.5 knots, but the maximum speed that this ship
can reach is 16 knots. The hull is sophisticated, which together
with the main engine of Mitsubishi is making of great ship, with
lower emissions of CO2, higher speed at lower fuel consumption per
hour. Shin Sanyo Maru is vessel, which is made to be effective and
profitable. The paint on the ballast tanks is with different structure
and tar-free epoxy, which is more ecological and more effective,
because the segregation period of that paint and protection, which
it gives to the steel is higher. That is making this vessel ecological,
secure and very, very cheap for support.
The
navigational equipment on board is the newest possible one. The
GPS is plotting to the ARPA the exact position of the ship, with
mistake of less than 10 meters. The electronic chart equipment is
decreasing the work of navigational officer of plotting ship’s
position to the chart, and takes in the signal from AIS and ARPA
and gives advices to the ship officer for the better maneuvering
toward other ships. The ship is very maneuverable and for the officer
is just like a game to sail with this vessel. The ship has no bow
thrusters, but in the port it is mooring very easy with just a little
support of tugs.
