The Tor Selandia class is composed of three units Ro-Ro - ship class of the Danish shipping company DFDS .
history
The ships designed by Knud E. Hansen were built from 1997 to 2000 at the Italian shipyard Fincantieri in Ancona for the Danish DFDS Tor Line. The type ship, today's Selandia Seaways , built as Tor Selandia , was the shipping company's first new ship in more than twenty years. The ships were used by DFDS Tor Line for the liner service between Sweden and Great Britain - called the "Anglo Bridge" by the shipping company. The new ships cut the travel time between Gothenburg and Immingham from 36 to 24 hours. The time spent in port was also almost halved from around ten to twelve hours to around six hours. Since the ships had to be able to pass the lock in Immingham, their width was limited to around 26 meters.
The ships sailed under the flag of Sweden with their home port in Gothenburg. They were successively (2000, 2004 and 2012) brought under the flag of Denmark and entered in Denmark's international shipping register with their home port of Copenhagen .
Two of the ships of the class, the Suecia Seaways and the Britannia Seaways , are available to the Danish and German armed forces as well as the NATO partners as part of the ARK project initiated by Denmark for the transport of troops and materials. In January 2013 , the Suecia Seaways was used to relocate German Patriot missile defense systems to Turkey . The ship was loaded with around 300 vehicles and 130 containers in Lübeck-Travemünde . The rockets themselves were taken on board a few days later in Emden. In the summer of 2013, the ship was also used for the return transport of Bundeswehr vehicles that were stationed in Afghanistan for the Bundeswehr's ISAF mission. The vehicles were in late July on the Turkish Black Sea port Trabzon shipped.
Technical specifications
The ships are propelled by two nine-cylinder diesel engines (type: 9ZA50S) from the manufacturer Sulzer - Wärtsilä , which were built under license in Italy by Grandi Motori Trieste and were used for the first time on the Selandia Seaways . The engines each have 10,800 kW power and act via reduction gear on two controllable pitch propellers . The ships are equipped with two bow thrusters , each with an output of 1,100 kW.
Two shaft generators , each with an output of 1,400 kW, and three diesel generators from Sulzer-Wärtsilä (type: 6S20), each with an output of 900 kW, are available for the power supply. An emergency generator from Isotta Fraschini Motori (type L-1306-T3TE50) was also installed.
Furnishing
The ships have an open weather deck and the closed decks below , the main deck , car deck and the tank ceiling. The stern ramp of the ships is 20.8 m wide. The closed main deck for rolling loads can be reached via them. From the main deck, a 57 m long and 4.5 m wide ramp can also be used to reach the weather deck above the main deck and a 56.3 m long and 4.2 m wide ramp to reach the lower tank ceiling.
On the weather deck, 1,162 meters of lane can be seen on 3,456 m². The usable height is 5 m. The main deck provides 1,204 meters of track on 3,692 m² with a usable height of 6.1 m. The 1,480 m² car deck can only be used to a limited extent due to its limited height of 2.1 m. The tank cover provides 406 lane meters over an area of 1,366 m². The usable height is again 5 m. A total of 2,772 lane meters and an area of 9,994 m² are available. If the ramps are also used, a further 470 m² are available.
The container capacity is a total of 467 TEU . There is space for 180 TEU on the weather deck, 400 TEU on the main deck and 67 TEU on the tank ceiling. There are 40 power connections on the weather deck and 35 on the main deck for refrigerated containers or trailers with temperature-controlled cargo. Loaded trailers and other rolling cargo can be lashed with a semi-automatic system so that part of the lashing effort that is otherwise usual for ro-ro ships is no longer necessary.
In addition to the stern ramp, the two units available to the Danish and German armed forces also have an 8 m wide side ramp on the starboard side . Both ships were 2011 with a Liebherr - crane retrofit can be loaded with even load on the weather deck or deleted from it. The crane is on the starboard side of the ships. It has a reach of 26 meters and can lift 40 tons.
The superstructure are from about amidships in the stern area . The deckhouse with the navigating bridge and the living and common rooms of the crew and the passengers - e.g. B. Drivers of loaded trucks - and other rooms is designed as a bridge over the weather deck and can be crossed by the rolling cargo. Behind the deckhouse there are further superstructures on the port and starboard sides, in which the chimneys are also integrated. In front of the deckhouse, the weather deck can be used over almost the entire width of the ship.
The ships have a closed forecastle with weather protection for the open deck behind.
