Another Panamax Bulker

Delivered By B&W Yard

To Liberian Owner

Burmeister & Wain Shipyard in Copenhagen recently celebrated the naming of Yard No. 883, a

Panamax bulk carrier of the yard's fuel-saving type. Of ap- proximately 64,000 dwt, the ship was ordered by A/S Klaveness

Chartering of Oslo, and was named by Mrs. Bibbi Preststulen, wife of managing director Tom

Preststulen, president of West

African Bulk Shipping Inc.

Christened Baumare, the ship was disposed of by Torvald Klave- ness A/S and delivered to the shipping company Baumare Inc. of Monrovia, Liberia. This marks the third vessel of this new type delivered by B&W during a 6- month period; an additional 14 are on order at the Copenhagen yard.

While many of the more con- ventional Panamax type bulk car- riers operating today have a fuel oil consumption of 55-60 tons daily, B&W Shipyard has suc- ceeded in reducing the fuel con- sumption to approximately 37 tons per day at an average speed of 15 knots. The average is de- fined as the average for ballasted and fully loaded conditions.

This improvement in operating economy has been achieved by a successful development of the hull design with bulbous bow, an extremely flat-sectioned aft body, and by the installation of a two- stroke, long-stroke B&W 5L80-

GFCA diesel engine having an output of 12,600 bhp at 90 rpm.

Auxiliary machinery includes two

B&W 5T23LH diesels driving 500- kw generators, and a 500-kw tur- bogenerator.

Classed + 1A1 by Det norske

Veritas, the Baumare has an overall length of about 738 feet, molded beam of 106 feet, molded depth of 59 feet, and maximum draft of 50 feet. The Total cubic capacity (grain) of the holds is 79,100 cubic meters. The ship has seven large, almost identical hatches with inclined coamings
