Characteristics
|
This ship is equipped with five cargo holds, of which the hatches have end folding type hatch covers. The large sized hatches (No.1 Hatch: 20.40m length x 18.40m width/ No.2～No.5 Hatch: 21.25m length x 18.4 0m width) are designed to enhance loading efficiency.
The ship enables the carrying of grains, coal, iron ore and hot coils. High density cargo, such as iron ore, can be loaded in alternate cargo holds, No1, 3, 5.
Loading ability is handled by four deck-mounted cranes with a 30mt capacity.
Also, in order to conserve energy a SURF (Swept-back Up-thrusting Rudder Fin) with Bulb has been incorporated within the rudder mechanism.
