Novel 2000 TEU Container Feeder Vessel. BANGKOK-MAX - Sets new standards!
1/2/2012
The Danish Naval Design and Marine Consultancy Knud E. Hansen A/S and joint venture partner ABB have developed a highly fuel efficient 2000 TEU Container Feeder Vessel. The vessel's main dimensions have been optimised for calling in Bangkok, but the design features will deliver great benefits to operators and the environment on any route.
The design delivers excellent fuel economy, reduced environmental impact, reduced need for water ballast, slow-steaming potential and flexible transit speeds, loading flexibility as well as increased container capacity including higher than usual reefer capacity.
Propulsion efficiency, manoeuvrability and redundancy
Propulsion efficiency is significantly boosted by an electrically driven counter rotating ABB Azipod unit, which is fitted behind the directly driven main propeller. The power balance between the main propeller and the Azipod is approximately 65/35 %, and as the Azipod can be turned 360 degrees, the vessel will have state of the art manoeuvrability, which reduces or eliminates the need for tug boat assistance in port.
Compared to a vessel with a conventional diesel-direct propulsion system the main engine has been considerably down-sized, and with a correspondingly smaller propeller diameter in combination with a low shaft line, ballast water to submerge the propellers in light loaded conditions is generally not necessary. At 18 knots the main engine with its shaft generator will deliver the entire propulsion power including the electrical power for the Azipod unit, the hotel load and the reefer containers. Additional auxiliary power is only necessary if higher speeds (up to 21 knots) are required or if an exceptionally large number of reefer containers are carried.
Three auxiliary engines with a total electrical power output of approximately 8000 kW are arranged in an auxiliary engine room, which is completely segregated from the main engine room. With the main engine stopped, the vessel is able to navigate with a speed of more than 13 knots on auxiliary power and the Azipod alone, which provides a very high degree of redundancy and more than sufficient "return to port" capability.
Slow steaming potential and flexible transit speed
The vessel features an ABB Onboard DC grid system that ensures engines will be run at their optimal load at any cruising speed from 2 to 21 knots, enhancing fuel economy and providing the option of highly flexible transit speeds, including slow steaming, which is not the case for the majority of feeder vessels of today.
Vessel layout
The vessel has an overall length of 172 m and a beam of 30 m. Deadweight at the Bangkok-max draught of 8.2 m is approximately 18,300 t, while it is approximately 28,400 t at the fully loaded draught of 10.5 m.
The midship position of the narrow deckhouse provides a significantly better vision from the bridge and allows approximately 15 % more containers to be carried on deck than on conventional feeder vessels with the deckhouse located aft, while maintaining a crew comfort in bad weather, which is superior to designs with the deckhouse located forward.
HFO tanks have been arranged in a simple, square block below the deckhouse in order to minimise the need for trim compensating ballast water and changes of trim during a voyage. Additionally, the tanks are segregated from the sides and the bottom in preparation for Clean Design Class notation.
Space has also been prepared in the engine casing for scrubbers or a SCR system so that the vessel can be adapted for navigating in Emission Control Areas. The vessel is even prepared for zero-emission port calls, because containers holding batteries can be stored on the aft deck and connected to the DC grid.
Container capacity
Five tiers of high-cube containers can be stacked in the holds and six on the hatches. In the gearless version the vessel will carry up to 1,448 TEU on deck and 668 TEU in the holds corresponding to a total high-cube capacity of 2,116 TEU.
As designed, the reefer capacity below deck is 438 TEU (or 258 FEU), and with three tiers on the hatches and four on the aft deck the capacity on deck is 746 TEU (or 370 FEU), giving the vessel a total potential reefer capacity of 1184 TEU (or 628 FEU). But with 8000 kW of auxiliary power installed, access to the reefer units is practically the only limiting factor for the number of reefers that can be carried, so the capacity on deck may be further increased by higher lashing bridges aft and/or lashing bridges between the hatches.
Energy efficiency
The high container capacity in combination with the fine hull lines and very efficient propulsion system gives the vessel a fuel economy 15 - 25 % better per TEU than typical feeder vessels of similar size
Comments from Maersk Broker - Exclusive broker:
Maersk Broker is proud to have been a part of this very exciting project from an early stage, and we are very happy to take on the role as exclusive broker for this exciting new containership design.
Compared to the many traditional designs on the market today, the development of this containership design has been characterized by real innovative "thinking outside the box", which has produced some impressive results on both speed/consumption, stowage flexibility, and not least transit speed flexibility. We believe that this is what is needed in a future-proof design, and should be attractive to liner operators and tramp owners, who are focused on stowage/speed flexibility and fuel efficiency - and thus a greener profile.
We look forward to furnishing interested operators and owners with more details on this state-of-the-art design.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
