Keppel Lengthening Five

Semi-Container Vessels

For Danish Company

Keppel Shipyard in the process of completing the lengthening of the first of five semi-container vessels for the Danish company Knud i

Larsen. This is the first time Keppel has been awarded five lengthening contracts from one company, the collective value of which is esti- mated at S$14 million (about

US$7.1 million).

The M/V Bravo Sif was lengthen- ed by 13 meters (about 42.6 feet), increasing the container intake from 356 TEUs to 426 TEUs. The vessel's deadweight has increased by 1,100 tons to 5,500 mts, incorporating 250 tons of steelwork. Delivery time took approximately four weeks.

The Bravo Sif also underwent reinforcement of the steel structure and hull to enable the vessel to be used in the future as both an open and closed shelterdecker.

Similar conversion and lengthen- ing work will be carried out on four other sister vessels which are due to arrive at Keppel within the next few months.
