The Bahri-Abha class is made up of six units Con-Ro - ship class .
General
The type of ship was designed by the Danish ship architecture office Knud E. Hansen in Helsingør . The ships were built by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan , South Korea , for the then Saudi Arabian shipping company The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (now Bahri). The construction contract for an initial four ships was signed on March 6, 2011. There was an option for two more ships, which was explained later. The construction costs amounted to around 70 million US dollars per ship. The ships are managed by Bahri Ship Management in Dubai .
The ships replaced the four Con-Ro ships of the Saudi Abha class built in Sweden in the early 1980s , which at the time were among the largest Con-Ro ships in the world.
The Con-Ro ships are used by Bahri in liner service to / from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea . Cruising areas are primarily the North American east coast including the US Gulf, India , the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. In addition to rolling cargo and containers , the ships can also transport various general cargo and project cargoes , including heavy goods.
The ship class received the Shippax Award in April 2014.
Technical data and equipment
The ships are from a two-stroke - seven-cylinder - diesel engine (type: 7RT-flex58T) with 12,450 kW power driven. The Wärtsilä engine , built under license by Hyundai Heavy Industries , acts on a controllable pitch propeller . The ships reach a cruising speed of around 17 knots . The ships are equipped with a bow thruster with an output of 2,000 kW and a stern thruster with an output of 500 kW. A shaft generator with an output of 2,200 kW as well as two diesel generators with an output of 1,560 kW each (1,875 kVA apparent power ) and a diesel generator with 2,320 kW output (2,750 kVA apparent power) are available for power generation.
The ships have five fixed and two height-adjustable ro-ro decks. The ceiling height of deck 1 is 3.8 m, that of deck 2 is 5.8 m, deck 3 is 6.8 m and deck 4 is 4.8 m high. Deck 1 and deck 2 can each be loaded with 3 t / m², deck 3 with 5 t / m² and deck 4 with 3 t / m². The height-adjustable decks can be suspended at two heights: in deck 3 with clear heights of 1.8 or 2.5 m and in deck 4 with clear heights of 1.8 or 2.2 m. They can each be loaded with 0.5 t / m². The top ro-ro deck (deck 5) is partially open. In the rear third of the ships it is partially covered with the superstructures . The clear height here is 3.4 m. Deck 5 can be loaded with 2 t / m². A total of 24,800 m² is available on the ro-ro decks. The ro-ro decks are connected to one another via fixed ramps on board. A hydraulically operated ramp for cargo handling is located at the level of deck 3 on the starboard side at the stern. The ramp is 39 m long and has a usable width of 8.5 m. The ramp can be loaded with up to 250 t. The entrance to deck 3 is 15.5 m wide. It is closed by a flap that opens upwards.
The storage spaces for containers are located in the front third of the ships. The container capacity of the ships is 702 TEU . 402 TEU can be loaded in the hold, 300 TEU on deck. Two layers on top of each other and eight containers next to each other can be loaded in the hold. The cargo space is accessible via two 27 × 12 m hatches. The loading hatches are closed with pontoon hatch covers. On deck (deck 4) four layers can be loaded one on top of the other, twelve containers next to one another and seven 20-foot containers one behind the other. The ships are equipped with two hydraulically operated cranes on the starboard side of deck 4 for cargo handling . The cranes can each lift 120 t, combined their capacity is 240 t. They are therefore not only suitable for handling containers, but also for heavy goods.
There is space for 29 crew members on board . In addition, six passengers can be accommodated in three double cabins.
