The P2 class (P2-800 class P2-1400 class) is a ten multipurpose heavy comprehensive ship class of the former German project and heavy-shipping company Beluga Group . It is divided into the four-ship P2-800 class and the P2-1400 class, which was originally supposed to include 10 ships, but only six ships were built.
The freighters of the P2-800 class are equipped with heavy lift gear with a lifting capacity of up to 800 tons SWL and have a load capacity of 20,100 tdw . The P2-1400 class has a lifting capacity of 1400 tons SWL and a lifting capacity of 19,400 dwt.
The ships were 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 loads with individual weights between 500 and 1400 tons .
General data
The P2 class was created based on a design by Beluga Fleet Management in collaboration with the Volharding Shipyards Newbuilding shipyard in Westerbroek , Netherlands . Development began the ships are on in 2005. Chinese shipyard Hudong Shipyard in Shanghai built. The lead ship of the P2-800 class was put into service in November 2009, that of the P2-1400 class in March 2010.
Technical specifications
The P2 class is classified by Germanischer Lloyd . The hull has the classification + 100 A5 E3 with Freeboard 4.370 M IW BWM SOLAS-II-2, Reg. 19 Multi-Purpose Dry Cargo Ship, Environmental Passport, Equipped for Carriage of Containers, Strengthened for Heavy Cargo, the machinery + MC E3 AUT.
The ships of the P2-800 class and the P2-1400 class are largely identical and only differ in the heavy lift gear and the carrying capacity. Due to the equipment with more powerful tower cranes , the P2-1400 class has a lower load capacity.
Hull
The double-hulled ships have different carrying capacities of 20,100 dwt of the P2-800 class and 19,400 dwt of the P2-1400 class, a uniform overall length of 168.65 meters, width of 25.20 meters and a maximum draft of 9.50 meters. They are measured with a gross tonnage (GT) of 17,628 and a net tonnage (NRZ) of 6,617. 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 P2 class is therefore suitable for travel through polar regions and can navigate the Northeast Passage along the Siberian coast.
Holds
The P2-Class has two cargo holds with a total cargo volume of 26,337 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 4,275 cubic meters with a length of 22.94 meters and a width of 13.76 meters. It can be divided at two different heights with tween decks. The larger cargo hold 2 has a capacity of 22,062 cubic meters with a length of 82.40 meters and a width of 18.66 meters. Between decks can be drawn in at four different heights. The distance between the load compartment floors and hatch covers is 14.85 meters.
The loading space 1 is closed by a hydraulically driven hatch cover with the dimensions 23.28 × 14.26 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 85.00 × 19.47 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 912 TEU (20-foot container). Of these, 424 can be stored below and 488 on deck. Connections are available for 100 40-foot refrigerated containers. The loading capacity for loaded 20-foot containers weighing 14 tons is given as 738 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.
In the P2-800 class, cranes 2 and 3 for servicing the second loading space 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 reach is 30 meters with a load capacity of 240 tons SWL.
The P2-1400 class has cranes with a load capacity of 700 tons SWL up to a reach of 14 meters. The maximum range is 30 meters with a load capacity of 350 tons SWL. In tandem operation, cranes 2 and 3 achieve a lifting capacity of 1400 tons SWL. The extra loading gear has a range of 33 meters for both the P2-800 class and the P2-1400 class with a load capacity of 40 tonnes SWL.
Since the hull was not originally planned for heavy lift ships, the ships have many small tanks and weak pumps, so that pumping up heavy lifts takes a very long time compared to other ships. The spread of organisms into foreign ecosystems by untreated ballast water to avoid coming filtration system "Clean ballast" of RWO Marine Water Technology from Bremen used. A total of 12,000 cubic meters of ballast water can be absorbed.

Stability problems
The P 800 ships were originally planned without a stability pontoon, but it turned out that the ships without a pontoon were not able to use their crane capacity. The ships that were under construction were therefore retrofitted with a pontoon and the ships that were already in service with 2000 t of fixed ballast.
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 propeller via a gearbox . To improve maneuverability in the port, the ships are equipped with a bow thruster with an output of 800 kilowatts. The P2 class reaches a speed of 17 knots with 90 percent engine power and consumes 38.7 tons of IFO 380 quality heavy fuel oil per day. 1500 cubic meters of heavy fuel oil and 200 cubic meters of marine diesel oil can be stored.
The electrical energy supply is provided by a shaft generator with an output of 1550 kilowatts, three diesel generators with an output of 850 kilowatts each and an emergency generator with an output of 150 kilowatts. 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.
Ships
Two ships were put into service by mid-2010; eight more were to follow. The original plans provided for the construction of fourteen ships.
P2-800 class
The P2-800 class should include four ships. The first ship was put into service in November 2009.
Beluga Houston
The original Beluga Houston and later HHL Rio de Janeiro is the lead ship of the P2-800 class. The ship was sold to Spliethoff's Bevrachtingskantoor in 2019 and the new name was Parkgracht .
More ships
According to the shipping company, three more ships of the P2-800 class should be completed between May and October 2011 (status: February 2010):
- Beluga Genoa (completion in May 2011), as HHL Fremantle (IMO No. 9448360) at Hansa Heavy Lift, sold to Spliethoff's Bevrachtingskantoor in 2019, new name Poolgracht

P2-1400 class
The P2-1400 class was to include six ships, the first of which entered service in March 2010.
Beluga Bremen
The former Beluga Bremen (IMO No. 9424558) is the type ship of the P2-1400 class. The ship is now operating as HHL Valparaiso with Hansa Heavy Lift.
