trend-setting environmental bulk carrier, with results far exceeding expectations. According to the provisional data from the
project, the new design for a 35,000dwt bulk carrier will achieve an 18% improvement in environmental efficiency over comparable previous versions when measured against the IMO’s Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), a method by which a ship’s CO2 efficiency is measured. The new ‘Emerald’ design exceeded
targets in a number of key areas: it reduced the handysize model’s steel weight by 12%, making room for more revenue-generating cargo without increasing fuel consumption (the target was a 10% reduction); it also reduced fuel consumption by 19.5% (the target was 15%). Final design of note comes from
Deltamarin who recently entered into a new contract with Yangfan Group for the design of
B.Delta37 Bulk Carriers to be built for d’Amico. Te Italian owner placed a six plus six order with Yangfan, one of China’s leading private yards this summer. Deltamarin will procure the basic design,
part of the detail design of the vessels and technical procurement handling and will also have a site team to ensure the continuity all along the design phases to the production. Te design is an amended version of the
standard
B.Delta37 design into an open hatch configuration. Te service speed at design draught will
be 14knots with daily fuel consumption of 17.9tonnes. Te ships boast an EEDI 21.6% less than the requirements stipulate. NA
China’s Cruise ship drive
Cruise ships – the final hurdle in China’s pursuit of global shipbuilding dominance – are now on the menu in the People’s Republic. In June China’s Shanhaishu Group and Xiamen International Cruise signed a contract for China’s first self-built cruise ship with Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry. The 100,000gt China Xiamen ship will hit the water in October 2018 and will cost around US$488million. It will be constructed at Xiamen Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of state-run China State Shipbuilding Corporation. The giant cruise ship will be designed in a Chinese style, making it the first of its kind in the world. Apart from Chinese-style decoration inside the cabins, Chinese food will be served in eight out of the nine dining rooms on the ship. At around the same time Australian billionaire Clive Palmer signed a memorandum of understanding with CSC Jinling Shipyard to build a modern version of Titanic. It will have the same dimensions as its predecessor with 840 rooms and nine decks.
The vessel will be part of a planned fleet of luxury cruise ships to be built at
CSC Jinling in Nanjing, Palmer said, and the plans would help China become a major player in the cruise ship market.
Finland’s Deltamarin is carrying out a full review of the Titanic II project to ensure the vessel will be compliant with all current safety and construction regulations, as well as meeting the design criteria laid down by Blue Star Line, the company Palmer has resurrected to control Titanic II.
The work carried out by Deltamarin will enable China’s CSC Jinling Shipyard to begin construction in time for the projected 2016 launch of the vessel. “More than 20,000 people have registered on Blue Star Line’s website expressing an interest in receiving regular updates from us or requesting information on how to secure bookings for Titanic II’s maiden voyage,” Palmer said.
China is the world’s fastest growing cruise market by quite some margin, albeit from a low base.
While there were around 750,000 cruise visitors to Chinese ports last year the China Cruise and Yacht Industry Association (CCYIA) has identified 300million Chinese as potential cruise passengers.
