The Neptun wood cargo ship type 401 of the Hellerau series was a ship series of the Neptun shipyard in Rostock.
history
Hellerau , which was delivered by the Neptun shipyard on March 15, 1966 , initiated a series of six ice-reinforced wooden freighters, all of which were named after locations in the GDR with important furniture industry companies. Other ships in the series were the Zeulenroda , the Themar , the Oelsa , the Karlshorst and the Eisenberg . The ships were designed primarily for the transport of timber, especially for sawn timber, from ports on the White Sea to the GDR . The timber load capacity was a maximum of 735 standard , the then common sawn timber. One standard corresponds to 4.70 cubic meters . Due to the intended area of operation in the northern waters, the ships received an icebreaker-like bow. For loading and unloading with on-board means, the two-space ship type was equipped with eight five-ton loading booms on six masts. The ships also proved themselves in general tramping, as they could also be used for general and bulk cargo transport, and later also for container loads. The Karlshorst was lost in 1977 as the only ship in the series .
