Beluga Expectation and Beluga Evaluation

The E-series or E-240 is a class of multi-purpose ships from the former Bremen heavy lift shipping company Beluga Shipping .

history

The ship's design was designed by the Volharding Shipyards in Westerbroek as a multipurpose heavy lift cargo ship with a deckhouse and three holds in the aft . The ships were built on behalf of various German shipping companies at three different Chinese shipyards. The ships were initially used by the Bremen shipping company Beluga. The designation of the ship series results from the ship names which, during the operation by the Beluga shipping company, consisted of a preceding “Beluga” and a subsequent term beginning with the letter “E”. The "240" results from the crane capacity of the ships in coupled operation. After the collapse of the Beluga Group, the E-series ships were sold and are now operated by various other shipping companies.

The ships are mainly used in global voyages for the transport of heavy cargo, general cargo, smaller project cargoes or containers.

The ships of the Beluga F-Series , BBC Campana-Class , BBC Maine-Class and BBC Carolina-Class , built later, belong to the same ship design, but some have different crane capacities.

technology

The volume of the three cargo holds is a total of 15,952 m 3 ; if the removable intermediate deck elements are taken along, a volume of 14,856 m 3 remains . The tank cover is designed for loads of 16 tons / m 2 and reinforced with grabs for cargo handling. The displaceable tween decks can with four tons / m 2 are charged, the hatch covers with 1.75 tons / m 2 . The container capacity is 673  TEU . The ships are equipped with two electrohydraulic NMF ship cranes , each with a lifting capacity of 120 tons, which are attached to port and can move packages of up to 240 tons in coupled operation . The holds of the ships are closed with hydraulically operated folding hatch covers.

The propulsion of the ships consists of a four-stroke diesel engine of the type MaK 6M43 with 5400 kW output, which acts via a reduction gear on a variable-pitch propeller and a shaft generator with 875 kVA output. The ships reach a speed of around 15 knots . There are also three auxiliary diesels, each with a capacity of 493 kVA, and an emergency diesel with a capacity of 124kVA. The berthing and casting off maneuvers are supported by a bow thruster .
