NILS DACKE
Schichau Seebeckwerft
Schichau Seebeckwerft AG of
Bremerhaven, West Germany, de- livered the world's largest railway/ freight ferry, the 581-foot Nils
Dacke, to Rederi AB Swedcarrier, the pool-partner of Hamburg-based
TT-Line.
The Nils Dacke, with a molded breadth of 84-1/2 feet, draft of about 20 feet, tonnage of about 24,000 and deadweight of 7,800 tons, is powered by two main propulsion plants consisting of four MAN
B&W main engines. Each main pro- pulsion plant consists of a MAN
B&W 6L40/45 diesel, with an out- put of 3,170 kw at 524 rpm, and a
MAN B&W 8L40/45 diesel engine, with an output of 4,230 kw at 524 rpm. The total power for the two main propulsion plants (all four en- gines) is 14,800 kw. For maneuvera- bility, the vessel is equipped with
Lips variable pitch propellers and
Frydenbo rudder plants. She has a service speed of about 18 knots.
The all-around combicarrier en- tered service on the TT-Line route between Travemunde and Trelle- borg, Sweden. Her three decks are interconnected by internal ramps, and she load and discharge via a stern ramp.
The lower deck, or combi deck, is equipped with 910 meters of rail length distributed on six tracks, al- lowing for the transportation of 36 long-type railway wagons or 75 rail wagons of average size.
On the two upper decks, there is space for about 100 trucks/trailers.
When not in use for rail cargo, the lower deck can accommodate an ad- ditional 60 trucks/trailers.
Furthermore, the Nils Dacke will have accommodations for 300 pas- sengers in 122 cabins, a restaurant, lounge/bar, cinema and conference rooms. The crew complement will be about 40.
