70,800dwt self-unloading bulk carriers, M/V SHELLA ANN, SOPHIE
OLDENDORFT and CSL SPIRIT were constructed by Jiangnan Shipyard
(Group)Co., Ltd. and delivered to CANADA STEAMSHIP LINES and EGON
OLDENDORFF respectively in December of 1999, November of 2000
and March of 2001. The basic design was developed by Jiangnan
Shipyard itself in cooperation with SDARI.
Features
1.The
vessel is a single-screw, diesel-driven self-unloading bulk carrier
suitable for carrying dry bulk cargo such as grain, coal, iron
ore, salt, potash, bauxite, crushed stone, gypsum and phosphate
rock.
2.Seven
(7) holds with double-skin are designed for carrying cargoes.
The hold bottom is W-shaped, forming slopping hoppers above the
two hold conveyors.
3.
The self unloading system consists of six conveyors, including
longitudinal & transverse conveyors at port & starboard
side respectively, as well as inclined and boom conveyors.
4.
Cargo is gravity fed form the holds through hydraulic gate (CFG,
Controllable Flow Gate) and onto the inclined conveyor and finally
to the boom to be discharged outboard.
5.
The long-stroke, low-revolution and fuel-efficient main engine
6S60MC drives a fixed-pitch propeller for propulsion.
6.
A controllable-pitch-propeller-type bow thruster (1,325kW) is
provided for improvement in maneuverability.
