Toyohashi
Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is the company, which is creating some
of the highest qualited ships
of the world. They has completed the 52,587DWT bulk carrier,
Doric Samurai (HN: 3546), for Katuura Naviera S.A. The vessel
is a handy size bulk carrier designed to carry grain, coal,
ore and steel products, and IMDG cargoes (excluding Class 5.1/Seedcake
containing solvent extractions, ammonium nitrate and ammonium
nitrate fertilizers). The carrier has five cargo holds, each
consisting of topside tanks and a double bottom with a hopper.
The Nos. 1, 3, and 5 holds can load cargoes, leaving the Nos.
2 and 4 holds empty. The No. 3 hold can be allotted as a water
ballast tank. The ballast of the topside tanks can be discharged
outboard, or into the double bottom ballast tanks. Hatch covers
employ the hydraulic folding type, and four electro-hydraulic
motor type deck cranes with a hoisting capacity of 30.5t are
installed on the upper deck. Grab uckets are also provided.
The main engine is a low-speed and long-stroke Mitsui MAN-B&W
6S50MC (Mk VI) diesel featuring low fuel consumption. The same
engine is used in some of the largest cargo and cruise
ships of the world, and this can explain, what is the quality
of such machinery and reliability of it.
