Capital Shipman- agement marked the delivery of its new containerships, Alexandros (on charter as Hyundai Prestige) and Aristotelis (on charter as Hyundai Premium) delivered at HHI Gunsan, respectively. ?These are demanding times for all of us,? said Evangelos Marinakis, CEO of Capital. ?We are doing our upmost to serve as best as possible the needs of our clients for the years to come. With fuel prices high and with our increasing en-vironmental responsibilities, we are in-vesting in high performance, truly eco, environmentally-friendly new tonnage.?Marinakis added, ?When contracting for this new series of 5,000-teu container ships, we paid special attention to ob-taining a design with engines which of-fer high efÞ ciency throughout the entire load range in order to achieve speed ß ex-ibility with the best fuel consumption and a reduced carbon footprint. It?s great to see this new design in the water and safely delivered to our charterers Hyun-dai Merchant Marine.?The ships are equipped with AMP (Al- ternative Marine Power System), often known as a ?cold ironing? system facility, where shore can provide electrical sup-ply while in port with maximum power of 3.2 MW. This is a system where a container vessel can, while in port, shut down its generators and plug into the shore power. The ships are also Þ tted with an ?X? ? twisted full spade rudder. The beneÞ ts of using such a rudder is that a twist in the upper and lower part of the rudder blade prevents cavitation and associated erosion problems developing as a consequence of rotational ß ow aft of the propeller.
