A bulk carrier's design is largely defined by the cargo it will carry. The cargo's density, also known as its stowage factor, is the key factor. Densities for common bulk cargoes vary from 0.6 tons per cubic meter for light grains to 3 tons per cubic meter for iron ore. [4]
MACS3 Basic Loading Program is designed for all ship types (containership, tanker, Bulk carrier, general cargo, RoRo, Passenger ship) in accordance with the unified IACS Requirement L5 "Onboard Computers for Stability Calculations".
It has a deadweight tonnage of 28,000 DWT, with a unique cargo hold and hatch design that allows for the transport of both bulk raw materials and large individual cargo. [5] As a self-unloading ship, a bow-mounted conveyor system that is 249 feet (76 m) long is installed for offloading of bulk materials. [5]
Generally, the B.Delta design has a relatively wide beam and shallow draft; with a combination of low fuel consumption and high deadweight. The exact specification varies, but a recent order for handysize B.Delta37 carriers featured: [2] 179.99m length; 30m beam; 10.5m Scantling draft; 17.6mt daily consumption at 14 knot service speed; 38,500t ...
This is a list of bulk carriers, both those in service and those which have ceased to operate. Bulk carriers are a type of cargo ship that transports unpackaged bulk cargo . For ships that have sailed under multiple names, their most recent name is used and former names are listed in the Notes section.
The open hatch bulk carrier, often referred to as OHBC or conbulker, is designed to offer direct access to the hold through cargo hatches which extend the full width of the vessel. As a result, large cargo units can be lowered into place. If it is possible, the holds or hatches are designed around standard cargo unit sizes.
Handymax Bulk Carrier "Orientor 2" Handymax and Supramax are naval architecture terms for the larger bulk carriers in the Handysize class. Handysize class consists of Supramax (50,000 to 60,000 DWT), Handymax (40,000 to 50,000 DWT), and Handy (<40,000 DWT). The ships are used for less voluminous cargoes, and different cargoes can be carried in ...
Bulk cargo refers to material in either liquid or granular, particulate (as a mass of relatively small solids) form, such as petroleum/crude oil, grain, coal, or gravel. This cargo is usually dropped or poured, with a spout or shovel bucket, into a bulk carrier ship's hold , railroad car / railway wagon , or tanker truck / trailer / semi ...
