FastShip: To Be Larger St To Hold More Cargo

The designers of the FastShip —

Thornycroft, Giles and Co. — an- nounced in late March that accord- ing to the latest calculations,

FastShip will be larger and will carry more cargo than originally planned, without consequent losses in speed, power or range.

The overall length of the vessel design has been increased by 89 ft. (27.1 m) to 863 ft. (263 m), an in- crease of 11.5 percent.

Payload has been increased by 1,000 metric tons to 9,200 metric tons, a 12 percent increase, and a speed of 42 knots will still be main- tained as planned.

According to David Giles, the ship's designer, "We were conserva- tive in our preliminary design speci- fications, and progressive design optimization over the past months has enabled us to improve overall operating economics." Recent tank tests also showed that the ability of the hull to maintain its planned speed in high sea states would be improved by making it longer.

A redesigned placement of the marine gas turbine exhaust and intake ducts will allow the transat- lantic FastShip to carry approxi- mately 12 percent more cargo con- tainers.
