The design is based on Danish architects Odense Maritime Technology established Seahorse designs, and was refined in collaboration with StandShip.<\/p>\n
As a result of the optimisation of the hull form, the design offers excellent fuel and speed performance, while a 15% increase in payload compared with typical Kamsarmax designs is expected to lower cargo transport costs.<\/p>\n
Available in 86,000 and 95,000 DWT designs, the bulk carrier is intended to be ready to order \u2018off the shelf\u2019 for charterers and operators looking for flexibility. The 229m design includes a 38m beam, almost four million cubic feet of hold capacity and a draft of either 13.5m or 14.55m depending on the deadweight option selected.<\/p>\n
The design\u2019s draft would allow access to numerous coal, grain and bauxite trade routes across the globe. The vessel design specifies that it is able to navigate with two slack holds and any combination of full or empty in the remaining five holds, offering increased options for operators.<\/p>\n
\u201cABS has a proud record of supporting innovations in vessel design and this project from StandShip is the latest of them,\u201d said Bill Shi, ABS Vice President, Global Engineering. \u201cABS has extensive experience in bulk carriers and it is a privilege to work closely with our project partners to support delivery of the next generation of vessels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are confident the JDP will result in the most flexible ship in its segment, highly competitive on numerous trades with very economical performance thanks to state-of-the-art design and equipment,\u201d said StandShip\u2019s Director Sebastiano Portunato.<\/p>\n
