The OOCL G-Class , also OOCL 21,100-TEU type , is a series of six container ships of the shipping company Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) of Hong Kong. Until the order for the CMA CGM 22,000 TEU type, the ships had the largest slot capacity of all the series in planning or in operation and were put into service in 2017 and 2018.
history
The series was commissioned by the shipping company OOCL on March 31, 2015. The six units were built at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea. The ships are used in liner services between Europe and East Asia.
The OOCL Japan , which was put into service in September 2017 , ran aground in the Suez Canal on October 18, 2017 during its maiden voyage , but was soon brought back by tugboat.
technology
The ships belong to the group of ULCS . They have comparable dimensions as the units of the Triple-E-Class , the CSCL-Globe type and the Olympic series , but have a larger number of container spaces .
In terms of shipbuilding, the ships are designed like the majority of the ULCS series that are already in operation. The deckhouse is located approximately at the end of the forward third of the ship, which enables an improved line of sight and thus a higher forward deck loading, while the chimney and machinery are located in the rear third. The bunker tanks are arranged below the superstructure; they meet the relevant MARPOL regulations. The holds of the ships are closed with pontoon hatch covers. 12 containers can be stacked on top of each other below deck. There are also 12 containers on top of each other above deck. The maximum container capacity is given as 21,413 TEU . There are also connections for integral refrigerated containers .
The ships are powered by a two - stroke diesel engine that acts on a fixed propeller . The consumption is given as 9 tons of heavy fuel oil per hour with a full load.
