The design of a Kamsarmax bulk carrier has been carried out for a customer. The structural design conforms to the Common Structural Rules of IACS. The ship can carry different types of bulk cargoes amounting to 81,360 Tons and includes Ore, Coal, Grains etc.
The ship systems support all the functional aspects of the vessel and includes power generation and distribution. The Engine used is a dual fuel MAN B&W 5S65ME-C8TII. The Fresh Air Intake System (FAIS) is deployed and is useful in improving the efficiency of the engine.
81360 DWT KAMSARMAX BULK CARRIER
MAIN DESCRIPTION
The Vessel is designed as ocean-going Kamsarmax size vessel with single fixed pitch screw driven by a slow speed main engine. The vessel operates at a service speed of 12 knots, carrying dry cargo including bulk cargoes, such as coal, iron ore, grains, etc. The main design objectives are economy of operation, safety and environmental protection. Maximisation of deadweight and fuel and energy efficiency optimization has resulted in an ideal design for this vessel.
THE VESSEL HAS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:
- Vertical bow with forecastle.
- The cargo area has seven (7) cargo holds and is gearless.
- All accommodation including navigation bridge and
propulsion machinery is located aft. - Space for methanol bullet tanks is earmarked at the aft of
superstructure. - A fan room is provided next amidships for cargo hold
ventilation. - Superstructure block is shaped aerodynamically to reduce
wind resistance. - Double hulled fuel tank to avoid spillage when external hull is
damaged. - Energy efficient propeller (improved fuel efficiency, and
reduced fluctuation pressure which causes noise & vibration)
along with Propeller Boss Cap Fin. - Complies with NOx Tier III emission control regulations (3.4
g/kWh) within designated emission control area. - Hull form is shaped for optimal wave resistance.
- Fresh Air Intake System (FAIS)
