The type EWB 300 is a container ship type of the Elbe shipyard Boizenburg , which was built from 1994 to 1996 in five units. All five ships were lengthened due to a design flaw, four of them before delivery. The extension gave them the type designation EWB 340 .
history
In 1993, the Elbe shipyard initially received seven orders for the EWB 300 ship, two of which were later canceled. The type ship Ady commissioned by the correspondent shipping company Hermann Schepers from Haren / Ems as well as the Thea B ordered by the shipping company Telsch from Haren / Ems were intended for charter to the Irish Bell Lines . They were delivered by the shipyard named Bell Ady and Bell Astron . Another ship destined for Bell Lines, the Bell Atlas , was ordered by the London- based brokerage agency Vogt & Maguire. The two other EWB 300 units, the Limburg and the Marburg , were ordered by the Köpping shipping company from Schülp .
Because the container ships would have been too high for the Hamburg Elbe bridges downstream, they could not have been completely assembled in Boizenburg . The individual production steps were therefore distributed among the shipyards that were then part of the Petram Group. The Elbe shipyard in Boizenburg was responsible for the ship design and the construction of the hulls . The deckhouses were built by Petram Schiffsreparatur und Anlagenbau GmbH in Brake (formerly C. Lühring shipyard ). The MET shipbuilding GmbH Co. KG Ship Repair in Bremerhaven took over the placement of the deck houses and the final assembly and outfitting of the vessel.
The Bell Ady was delivered on February 28, 1995 as the first and only EWB 300 ship. It was then found that the load-bearing capacity and the container capacity of the EWB 300 type were significantly lower than planned due to a design error. In order to achieve the contractually guaranteed minimum values, the four units still under construction were extended to type EWB 340 before they were delivered to MWB in Bremerhaven. The conversion of the Bell Ady , which was already in service, began on July 14, 1995. It was delivered a second time on August 17, 1995 as type EWB 340. The extended ships were initially used on feeder routes within Europe. Later sales brought the Ady to Hong Kong , Limburg to Iran and Marburg to Florida (USA).
technology
The 89.70 meter long original type EWB 300 should have a load capacity of 3,600 dwt and storage space for 300 20-foot standard containers (TEU). Because the type did not meet these transport capacities, it was subsequently extended by adding an approximately 9.60 meter long fuselage segment amidships between hatches 1 and 2. As a result of the extension, the ships had to be equipped with a free-fall lifeboat.
The converted ships were given the type designation EWB 340. They have a carrying capacity of 3,950 dwt and a capacity of 340 TEU. Alternatively, they can transport up to 164 40-foot containers (FEU) plus 12 TEU. With an average weight of 14 t per container, a maximum of 215 TEU can be loaded for reasons of stability. The ship has two box-shaped holds with hydraulic folding hatch covers . The holds have a volume of 4,400 m³ and a capacity of 82 TEU or, alternatively, 38 FEU plus 6 TEU. There are connections for 40 refrigerated containers on board .
The Limburg , Marburg and Bell Atlas are powered by a 3,380 kW eight-cylinder diesel engine of the type MaK 8 M 32, which acts on a controllable pitch propeller . In contrast to this, the Ady received an eight-cylinder diesel engine of the type MaK 8 M 453C with an output of 2,680 kW and the Thea B a seven-cylinder diesel engine of the type MAN-Burmeister & Wain 7 L 32/40 with an output of 3,080 kW. For docking and casting off maneuvers, all five units have an electrically powered bow thruster with 250 kW output. There are two diesel generators and a shaft generator on board to generate electricity. An emergency generator was also installed.
The ships
The delivery dates given in the table refer to the type EWB 340. The Bell Ady was first delivered on February 28, 1995 as type EWB 300 and on August 17, 1995 a second time as type EWB 340.
