BOXSHIP SERIES FOR GROWING LOMAR SHIPPING'S FLEET

摘要

Embodying the Super ECO 2700 type devised by the Marine Design and Research Institute (MARIO of China, she is the third in a series of four ordered from Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard. The Chinese shipbuilding and allied industries have been pivotal to Lomar's realisation of its extensive newbuild investment strategy over the past several years The optimised hull form contributes to a fuel efficiency performance claimed to be significantly more competitive than that of boxships of com-parable size, and the new class is distinguished by a high reefer intake relative to overall slot capacity. While the box rating is modest by the standards of deepsea cellular tonnage, the vessel is exceptionally beamy in relation to its 186m length, whereby the 34.8 breadth exceeds the former Panamax criterion. This makes for a hull envelope that accommodates a higher teu pay-load and results in improved transport efficiency.
