The Type IX series of cargo ships , also known as the Lübbenau series , was the first type of bulk cargo ship in the merchant fleet of the German Democratic Republic .
history
The series was manufactured from 1961 to 1963 in six units at the Warnow shipyard in Rostock. The ships were mainly used in ore and tramping. For example in the Murmansk-Rostock Apatitfahrt .
The first ship and namesake of the series was the Lübbenau , which was handed over to the Deutsche Seereederei on December 30, 1961, with hull number 501. The Rostock-based Lübbenau was operated until 1985 and demolished in Porto Alegre on December 18, 1985 . The last ship in the series was the Vockerode with hull number 506 , which was handed over on July 21, 1963. The Vockerode was renamed Rode for the first time in 1986 and was abandoned in Rio Grande on June 23, 1986 .
technology
The ships were propelled by a 4303 kW two-stroke diesel engine of the type K7Z 70 / 120A 3 manufactured under MAN license from the manufacturer VEB Dieselmotorenwerk Rostock , which acts directly on a fixed propeller with a diameter of 5.10 m.
The ice-reinforced hulls were constructed in a combined transverse frame and longitudinal frame construction and joined together in sectional construction.
The first three ships in the series had six superstructure decks and were therefore also used for training. The three subsequent buildings had five superstructure decks.
The seven cargo holds with a volume of 13,874 m 3 were locked securely to sea with steel roller lids from the Wenzel / Bauer system of the Warnow shipyard attached to reels. The alternating four short and three long cargo holds are designed to be self-trimming thanks to side tanks arranged in the upper cross-section of the cargo hold. Only the four short hatches are used for the ore voyage.
