The bulk carrier types Future 32 and Future 32A from the Japanese shipbuilding company IHI were built for numerous shipping companies in a series of 69 units.
details
The Future 32 series was designed by IHI on the basis of the existing Fortune and Friendship types in order to meet the demand for larger bulkers in the relevant market segment. The ships were built in two series - initially from 1976 to 1984 the original Future-32 design and, starting with the Sanko Campanula, from 1984 to 1994 the somewhat shorter and wider Future-32A type with a revised hull shape, the most striking external feature of which is the funnel moved to starboard was. From 1994 the series was replaced by the enlarged Future 42 type .
The units were built in the Group's own shipyards and under license from Levingston Shipbuilding in Orange (Texas).
The first in the construction about 35 million DM expensive ships are as Handymax - bulk carriers with aft mounted constructions designed. They have five holds , each with their own hatch, the hatch covers of which are hydraulically operated. Four hydraulic ship cranes mounted amidships are available for cargo handling . The units are designed for the transport of various bulk goods , such as grain, coal, minerals, including various dangerous goods. The tank roof of the cargo hold is reinforced for the transport of ore. In addition, bagged goods, steel profiles, tubes and other bulk cargo can be transported, but no deck loads.
The propulsion of the ships built in Japan consists of an IHI-Sulzer six-cylinder two - stroke diesel engine , with the first two units being fitted with slightly more powerful 7RND68 seven-cylinder units, the approximately 15% higher than necessary estimated additional power which led to extensive investigations of the hull shape. The ships built under license in the USA each received two Transamerica Delaval Enterprise Diesel of the type RV12-4, which acted on the propeller via a common gear. In 1989 the Juno Future 32 was fitted with a ship propulsion system with two screws running in opposite directions for testing, which is said to have resulted in savings of up to 15%. The different motorized units reach speeds between about 14.5 up to 17 knots . Several auxiliary diesels and an emergency diesel generator are available.
