The Seebeck 36L - multipurpose vessels is a Liberty-replacement vessel type , of the Seebeck Shipyard in Bremerhaven and later other AG Weser -Werften within the key ship-building program as the replacement for the then aging fleet during the war and shortly thereafter built trampers was launched. The ships had five hatches and could be ordered as a two-decker or three-decker and in a normal (36L) and reduced version (36), the latter only being built in three units for the Hamburg shipping company Adolf Wiards. Various combinations of load beams and heavy lift gear were available as separate loading gear .
history
In the mid-1960s, around 700 of the Liberty and Victory standard freighters, as well as a few other cargo ships built during World War II, were still in service in the then world merchant fleet. Even the youngest of them were now 20 years or older, and so both the shipping companies and the shipyards were faced with the question of replacing these ships, which would soon reach the end of their service life. At the same time, the need for replacement of the smaller post-war buildings in tramp shipping was already foreseeable.
The great upheavals in maritime shipping, caused by the appearance of container ships and bulk carriers , which would later almost completely replace the general cargo ships , were not foreseeable as such at this point in time, so that the classic general cargo ship, which was in its form at the time since the turn of the century, was relatively few changes was built, still appeared up to date. It was therefore only logical that the Seebeck shipyard, like many other shipyards with the successful type ships SD-14 , German Liberty , Trampko multi-purpose freighters , Freedom and Fortune , oriented its concept to general cargo ships with their own loading gear. This conservative design was undoubtedly also due to the fact that most of the ships to be replaced at that time were operated on the one hand by rather small shipping companies with limited resources and on the other hand predominantly on trampoline.
The first Type 36L was the Gerdt Oldendorff , which was christened in March 1969 and completed in June of the same year. The three Type 36 ships for the shipping company Wiards were the Monika Wiards , Catharina Wiards and Diederika Wiards .
Up to the last construction in 1980, the Aristanax , 55 ships were launched near Seebeck . Another six Type 36L ships were built at AG Weser to replace the canceled order to build a sister ship to the 392,000 tdw tanker Bonn . The Hapag-Lloyd subsidiary Kosmos Bulkschiffahrt , which emerged from the former URAG freight shipping company, ordered the 36L series of six from AG Weser in 1976/77. The ships were called Hildesheim , Heidenheim , Ingelheim , Rüdesheim , Rüsselsheim and Untertürkheim and were initially used in China.
The shipyard celebrated a double anniversary on June 28, 1976 with the delivery of the Luise Bornhofen . This type 36L was the ship with hull number 1000, punctually for the centenary of the shipyard.
A number of 36L ships were built for Audun Reksten and his father Hilmar Reksten . Audun Reksten received the ships Araluck , Arabonne , Arapride and Aragrace , his father the Trajan , Justinian and Gordian, named after Roman emperors . Two ships of this type were also built at the Bergen Mekaniske Verksted shipyard . The South Sea and the East Sea .
Despite their now considerable age, some of these series ships are still in service today.
The keyships
From 1972 onwards, the four variants offered by the Seebeck shipyard were given new names under the generic term "Keyships" or "Key". The name indicated the key in the shipyard's coat of arms and the respective carrying capacity. Up to the last two ships of this type built in 1980, the Aristogenis and the Aristanax, the successful 36L became the “Key 16” and “Keyship 16”, respectively. A direct further development of the 36L was the " Key 17 " type, which was built in 1982 in two units for a Singaporean shipping company. The “ Key 12 ” built from 1977/78 was added below the “Key 16” . In addition, the Seebeck shipyard offered the larger types “Key 20” and “ Key 26 ”.
