The Long Charity combined car-bulk transporter was the first new build in a series of four of this type of ship, which has since disappeared from the market .
history
In the late 1960s, the Norwegian shipping company A / S Olymp Rederi A / S Skrim commissioned the Rheinstahl Nordseewerke shipyard in Emden to build a series of four of this combined ship type . From 1969 onwards, the company built four of these ships, powered by Borsig Fiat diesel engines, for regular trans-Atlantic freight traffic. First, on December 8, 1969, the Long Charity was taken over by its Oslo shipping company as construction number 406 and then left for its maiden voyage with a load of Volkswagen to the United States . The three following sister ships were taken over by the Oslo- based shipping company Fearnley & Eger .
Loading facilities
The Long Charity was equipped with six loading spaces, which were designed to be self-trimming for bulk goods transport, each of which could be accessed via its own hatch. The cargo holds can be converted with six additional car decks attached to accommodate up to 1700 vehicles. The side parts of the car decks could be pulled up under the side top tanks and locked there, while the middle sections were designed as pontoon covers. Vehicles or general cargo could also be stowed in the area of the poop extending beyond the cargo space 6 .
There were twelve loading booms available, which could lift 5 tonnes in coupled operation. In addition to bulk goods and cars, the Long Charity was able to stow up to 2000 tons of sawn timber on deck.
Sister ships
The three other ships in this series were the Ferndale , the Fernside and the Fernfield .
