This article deals with the type of coaster, built in 1969/1970 and also known as the "Abba series". For the type of coaster built in the early 1990s, see Roßlau type .
The Abba series consisted of eleven identical units, which were commissioned by the Norwegian company A / S Osloagenturer of the Oslo shipping company Lars Rej Johansen from the Roßlau shipyard . The series was built between 1969 and 1970. Some of the ships were sold to other Norwegian shipping companies during the construction period. After the Abba series was completed, a series of the somewhat larger Europa type built until 1973 for the same shipping company followed.
The units are designed as paragraph ships, the measurement of which had to remain below 200 gross register tons. The ship's design is designed as a small multi-purpose coaster with a deckhouse and a cargo hold arranged aft . The volume of the hold is 459 m 3 for bulk goods and 397 m 3 for bale space. The 19.80 meter long and 4.00 meter wide cargo hold hatch is closed with Balanlift steel hatch covers. In the main, the ships were designed for the transport of general cargo, general cargo and bulk cargo. The ships are equipped with electro-hydraulic loading booms with three and five tons lifting capacity in front of and behind the hatch .
The ships are powered by a Deutz four-stroke diesel engine of the type BF12M-716. The motor with an output of 309 kW enables a speed of around 10.1 knots .
