 Stolt
Concept is one chemical tanker property of the famous company Stolt
and operated by Stolt Tankers BV. This vessel is one of the very
high qualited and very large tankers, which are property of the
company. Stolt Concept has a deadweight of 37,236 metric tons, which
is too large value for one chemical tanker. The vessel has gross
tonnage of 24,495 metric tons and net tonnage of 11,919 metric tons.
Stolt Concept is very high qualited, very useful and profitable
for the ship-owner because it carries the highest class A, for chemical
products carrying. This means that this vessel will be able to carry
almost all type of cargos. The vessel is not so new, but very good
in outlooking and in designer view. It was built in 1999 in ship-yard
of Danyard, which is very high rated and very useful ship-yard.
It is the one, which is prefered mostly from good companies like
Stolt. The length of the vessel is 176.75 meters and the beam is
31 meters. The vessel has a depth of 15 meters and draft of 9.36
meters, when the vessel is fully loaded. These measurements are
giving to the vessel free space for maneuvering in the ports, and
give no restriction in draft and beam about it, in sailing. The
vessel can use Kiel Canal, Suez Canal and all other ways, which
you may even think about.
 Stolt
Concept has a Norwegian ship-owner, but is sailing under the flag
of Cayman Islands, because of the lower taxes and lower requirements
about ship’s condition. In spite of this fact the vessel is
certified by Germanishe Lloyd and IMO, and these certifications
are repeated every year, in spite of the ship’s condition.
This is very important for such vessel, transporting so dangerous
cargoes and sailing close to the coast. Such kind of vessel has
its safety requirements, and this ship is filling them on the maximum.
The vessel is constructed with double hull, double bottom and the
ballast tanks are situated of the upper corners of the tanks. This
gives enough safety to the vessel, because even after some damage,
the ship will not do any pollutiîn. The cargo system is also
very good designed, fast and reliable. Stolt Concept can be loaded
from 34 points theoretically, because this is the number of tanks,
and this ship can carry 34 different cargoes. Practically only 2-3
points can be loaded in one time, because the restriction is mostly
because of the harbor mechanisms. The unloading is other thing.
While unloading the ship is using its own cargo pumps, and then
it can discharge cargo from maximum 3 points, which is not so bad,
when you made so calculations. The vessel can reach the maximum
speed of 16.9 knots, and the economy cruising speed is about 14.6
knots.
