GREAT SHIPS OF 1998

Shipbuilder Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd.

Vessel name Canmar Pride

Vessel type Ice-strengthened containership

Owner/Operator Canmar Fortune

Canada Maritime

Ltd. has again raised the bar in container shipping circles with the acceptance of

M/V Canmar Pride from Korea's Daewoo

Heavy Industries.

The ship, which was delivered from

Daewoo's Okpo

Shipyard in July, is the first of two 2,808-

TEU ice-strength- ened containerships ordered in 1997.

In fact, the ship is reported to be the largest ice-strength- ened containership operating in ice waters area, and is able to carry 1,378

TEU in its hold, with the remaining 1,430 carried on deck.

Electric sockets are arranged for the car- riage of 204 40-ft. refrigerated contain- ers (50 FEU in holds, 154 FEU on deck.).

The ship is powered by a B&W 7L80MC main engine, a propulsion unit capable of driving the 804 x 105.6 ft. (245 x 32.2 m) ship to a service speed of 21.3 knots at the 35.4-ft. (10.8-m) design draft at 85 percent

MCR with 20 percent sea margin. The ship, however, let "it all hang out" during its maiden voyage from Canada to Europe, averaging an out- standing 22.9 knots and reportedly touching speeds approaching 25 knots. The engine drives a FP propeller, and control is aided by one bowthruster. From a specification standpoint, the design is the result of extensive research with an unusually high degree of involvement from: port authorities, terminal operators, pilots, Canadian Coastguard,

Shipping Federation of Canada, classification societies, masters, chief engineers and ship managers. The extensive research ensured that the design meets with the particular requirements of one of the most expe- rienced operators in the St. Lawrence river.

The ship is designed for ice navigation in the winter season, and the hull structure is strengthened to Ice Class 1A and one (1) ice horn of built in type with fabricated steel construction is fitted at the aft body center line. Systems and equipment exposed to the elements is opera- tional at temperatures to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

The ship is built, generally, as a double-skinned containership in the way of cargo holds, of which the vessel features seven. The ship features (Continued on page 63)
