Atlantic Sail joins ACL fleet

摘要

On the March 31, 2016 the official delivery ceremony of the m/vessel "Atlantic Sail" took place at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in Shanghai (China). The newbuilding, the second in a series of five vessels in the "G4" fleet ordered by ACL to replace their "G3" generation ships, has a length of 296 metres, a beam of 37,60 metres and a gross tonnage of 100,430 tonnes. The "Atlantic Sail" has an innovative design, with an increased capacity both for rolling and container freight, without significant changes in terms of vessel dimensions: she can load 3,800 TEUs, 28,900 square meters of rolling freight as well as 1,300 cars. Its ro/ro ramps are wider and shallower while the decks for the accommodation of rolling freight are higher (up to 7.4 metres) with fewer columns, enabling much easier loading and discharging operations of oversized cargo.
