The cargo ship series Neptune 403 , even series Ivory Tellus called, is a very variable cargo ship type the Rostock shipyard "Neptun".
history
The basis of the type were the slightly smaller series Neptun 381 and Neptun 371 . The ships are largely identical to the Neptun 388 from 1974 and Neptun 401 from 1976. The 1976/77 series was manufactured in three units. The ships, which can be designed as either full-deck or free-deck, are primarily intended for the combined transport of general cargo, containers, heavy cargo, wood, bulk cargo, but also fruit and sweet oil .
The first ship and namesake of the series was the Ivory Tellus launched on July 30, 1976 with hull number 403. The Ivory Tellus , initially based in Panama , was re-measured in 1978 and renamed several times, most recently in 1996 to Hermod . From March 1, 2002, the last ship sailing under the flag of Thailand was canceled in Alang, India . The second ship in this series was the Cam Bubinga , which was laid down under the name Ivory Uranus and launched on December 4, 1976 . The ship, which was completed in April 1977 for owners from Cameroon, has been sailing under the Chinese flag as Yin Feng since 1987 and is still in the register. The third ship and completion of the series was the Claudia Maria , which was delivered in 1977 . After several renaming, the ship last sailing under the name Laurissa was canceled on January 23, 1999 in Alang, India .
