Multipurpose Vessel xHoegh Dyke'

Delivered By Wartsila's Turku Yard

The 41,600-dwt multipurpose cargo ship Hoegh Dyke (shown above) was completed recently by the Turku Shipyard of Oy Wartsila

Ab in Finland. Ordered by the Nor- wegian shipowner Leif Hoegh &

Company A/S of Oslo, the vessel is the third and last in a series in- tended to transport containers, heavy bulk cargo, grain, long timber, special cargoes, and cars. Container capacity is 1,620 TEUs.

Main propulsion is by a low-speed

Wartsila/Sulzer 4RLB90 diesel en- gine with a maximum continuous rating of 16,000 bhp at 102 rpm. It will be operated at the economy rat- ing of 13,600 bhp at 90 rpm, produc- ing a service speed of 16.4 knots on a draft of 30 feet. A 1,475-hp bow thruster is installed for enhanced maneuverability. The vessel has an overall length of 647.5 feet and beam of 105.6 feet. Electrical power is generated by two Wartsila Vasa 4R32 diesels and one Wartsila Vasa 8R22 engine, the three having a total output of 3,865 kw (5,215 bhp).

The underwater area of the hull is coated with self-polishing antifoul- ing to improve fuel efficiency. The vessel has a very large bunker ca- pacity, enabling her to take on fuel wherever it is cheapest. The cargo spaces, hatch covers, and cargo-han- dling equipment are designed spe- cially for the owner's special cargoes in worldwide trading. The ship is fitted with a Jastram-T rudder hav- ing a rotor in the leading edge and flaps at the rear edge. With rudder and the bow thruster, it is possible for the vessel to turn practically in place.
