The P1 class (P1-800 class) is a six multipurpose heavy comprehensive ship class of the German project and heavy-shipping company Beluga Group . With a load capacity of 18,800 tdw and heavy lift gear with a lifting capacity of up to 800 tonnes SWL, the ships are among the largest of the shipping company. They are part of a new construction program launched in 2005 as the P-Class , with which the Beluga Group entered the so-called super-heavy-lift segment in 2009 , which, according to the shipping company, includes heavy goods and project cargo with individual weights between 500 and 1400 tons .
General data
The P1 class is based on a design of the Beluga Fleet Management in cooperation with the shipyard Volharding Shipyards Newbuilding from Westerbroek , Netherlands , emerged. The development began in 2005, the completion of the type ship was planned for 2008. It was completed and delivered at the end of 2009. The vessels will be on the Chinese shipyard Qingshan Shipyard in Wuhan built. The construction price excluding additional costs for the type ship was 34.9 million euros .
Technical specifications
The P1 class is classified by Germanischer Lloyd . The hull has the classification + 100 A5 E3 with Freeboard 4.418 M Multi-Purpose Dry Cargo Ship G IW BWM SOLAS-II-2, Reg. 19 DBC C2P53 Equipped for Carriage of Containers, Strengthened for Heavy Cargo, the machinery + MC E3 AUT .
Hull
The double-hulled ships have a carrying capacity of 18,800 dwt, a total length of 166.25 meters, a width of 22.90 meters and a maximum draft of 9.50 meters. They are measured with a gross tonnage (GT) of 15,377 and net tonnage (NRZ) of 5,722. The hull is ice- reinforced for ice conditions comparable to that of the northern Baltic Sea with ice up to 80 centimeters thick , the ships are classified in ice class E3. According to the shipping company, the P1 class is therefore suitable for travel through polar regions and can navigate the Northeast Passage along the Siberian coast.
Holds
The P1-Class has two cargo spaces with a total cargo volume of 23,960 cubic meters . The holds have smooth walls that can be subdivided by means of intermediate decks and transverse bulkheads for the transport of different cargo . The front cargo hold 1 has a loading capacity of 3,889 cubic meters with a length of 25.20 meters and a width of 13.10 meters. The distance between the load compartment floor and the hatch cover is 13.40 meters. It can be divided at two different heights with tween decks. The larger cargo hold 2 has a capacity of 20,070 cubic meters with a length of 86.10 meters, width of 18.00 meters and depth of 13.80 meters. Between decks can be drawn in at four different heights.
Loading space 1 is closed by a hydraulically driven hatch cover with the dimensions 25.60 x 13.50 meters. The cargo hold 2 is closed both by hydraulically driven hatch covers and pontoon hatch covers. The cover of the cargo space has the dimensions 86.50 x 18.40 meters. The load compartment floors have a load capacity of 18.0 tons per square meter, the intermediate decks of 3.5, the pontoon hatch covers of 8.0 and the hydraulically operated hatch covers of 4.0 tons per square meter.
The holds are also designed for the transport of bulk goods and containers . The number of container spaces is 1031 TEU (20-foot container). Of these, 487 can be stored below and 544 on deck. Connections are available for 94 40-foot and 28 20-foot refrigerated containers. The loading capacity for loaded, 14-tonne 20-foot containers is given as 706 TEU.
Heavy lift crockery
Loading and unloading is carried out with three on-board heavy lift cranes from Neuenfelder Maschinenfabrik (NMF). The tower cranes have an extra loading gear for small loads. Crane 1 for the front loading space has a maximum load capacity of 120 tons SWL with a reach of 16 meters. The maximum reach is 32 meters, the crane can then lift 55 tonnes. Cranes 2 and 3 for servicing the second hold have a load capacity of 400 tons SWL up to a range of 18 meters. They can be used in tandem operation, resulting in a maximum lifting capacity of 800 tons SWL. The maximum range is 30 meters with a load capacity of 240 tons, that of the extra loading gear is 32 meters with 55 tons.
The ships are equipped with powerful ballast pumps and ballast tanks , with which heeling during loading and unloading processes is compensated. Up to 2360 cubic meters of ballast water can be used for this. A total of 9660 cubic meters of ballast water can be absorbed. The spread of organisms into foreign ecosystems to avoid by untreated ballast water coming filtration system "Clean ballast" of RWO Marine Water Technology from Bremen used.
drive
The ships are powered by a marine diesel engine of the type MAN 7L 58/64 with an output of 9,800 kilowatts at a nominal speed of 428 revolutions per minute. The four-stroke engine with seven cylinders drives a controllable pitch propeller via a gearbox . To improve maneuverability in the port, the ships are equipped with a bow thruster with an output of 800 kilowatts from the Finnish manufacturer Wärtsilä . The P1 class reaches a speed of 17.5 knots with 90 percent engine power and consumes 38.7 tons of IFO 380 quality heavy fuel oil every day. 1570 cubic meters of heavy fuel oil and 235 cubic meters of marine diesel oil can be bunkered .
The electrical energy is supplied by a shaft generator with an output of 1550 kilowatts, three Caterpillar diesel generators with an output of 590 kilowatts each and a Caterpillar diesel generator with an output of 400 kilowatts, which is used as an emergency power generator and for power supply in the port. 1.7 tons of marine diesel oil are consumed per day for the energy supply in the port; when using the crane gear, consumption can increase to up to 3.8 tons per day.
