The four units of the type CV Venus 5300 of the Leer-based shipping company Buss are the container ships with the largest container capacity of the Panamax size.
history
The series was built by the Chinese shipyard Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding in Zhoushan from mid-2008, and four ships were delivered by mid-2010. The client for the series was the Buss shipping company based in Leer. The commissioning shipping company designed the ships in cooperation with the design office Neptun - Stahlstruktions Gesellschaft and the shipyard. At Buss, the ships were in service until 2015, after which Peter Döhle from Hamburg took over the ships. All ships of the type are used in the liner service of the Chilean shipping company Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores (CSAV).
technology
The panamax-sized double-hulled ships differ from the majority of conventional container ships of the same size due to a number of innovations and details. The deckhouse is arranged far forward, which enables an improved line of sight and thus a higher forward deck loading. Among other things, the bunker tanks are arranged below the superstructure in order to meet the latest MARPOL regulations. The powerful drive system with the two-stroke diesel main engine type Doosan-Wärtsilä 7RT-flex 96C (Sulzer design) arranged as far aft as possible is also outstanding. In addition to an emergency generator with 475 kW, three diesel generators with 5760 kW each, one with 5130 kW and a shaft generator with 3223 kW are available for electrical energy supply . The holds of the ships are closed with pontoon hatch covers. The ships have a maximum container capacity of 5301 TEU, with an average container weight of fourteen tons, the capacity is reduced to 3360 units. There are also 1200 connections for integral refrigerated containers , 545 of which can be stowed in the hold.
