details

The Atlantic Steamer in Emden

The ships are designed as multi-purpose dry cargo ships with a deckhouse arranged far aft, a long middle and a shorter forward hold . They are mainly used in the transport of bulk goods, piece goods, small project loads or containers. The container capacity is 375 TEU. The ships are equipped with two electrohydraulic NMF ship cranes attached to port, each with a lifting capacity of 45 tonnes, which can move packages of up to 90 tonnes in coupled operation . The holds of the ships are closed with hydraulic folding hatch covers.

The ships are powered by an 8-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine of the type MAN 8L 32/40 with an output of 3840 kW. The motor acts on a controllable pitch propeller and enables a speed of around 14 knots. There are also four auxiliary diesels available. The berthing and casting off maneuvers are supported by a bow thruster.

Atlantic Cruiser

The Atlantic Cruiser of the shipping company Bockstiegel was stopped in front of a Syrian port on April 13, 2012 because there was suspicion that the ship had loaded 7,200 tons of military equipment and ammunition for Syria in Djibouti. The Atlantic Cruiser , built as BBC Italy , sailed under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda in charter from the Ukrainian company White Whale Shipping . On the night of April 17-18, 2012, it called at the Turkish port of İskenderun , where it was investigated by the authorities. German and Turkish authorities officially confirmed that no military equipment or weapons were found during the investigation by Turkish authorities.
