Deltamarin says it's on top of feeder design to boost capacity, fuel saving
DELTAMARIN Ltd claims to have introduced "the future container feeder design" to the market - the A.Delta2300 - with its best-in-class design, in terms of cargo capacity, flexibility and fuel efficiency.
The company said "extensive effort" was focused on the 188.6-metre long, 2,322-TEU capacity vessel's hull form development, to ensure both low resistance and high propulsion efficiency, reported Vancouver's Ship and Bunker.
It highlights that the design, supported by AVIC Weihai Shipyard, delivers a "flexible platform" to accommodate custom designs to meet customers' requirements, including liquid natural gas (LNG) readiness, and scrubber implementation.
"Compared to present reference designs, the vessel is said to require only low power at the design speed, and boasts an energy efficiency design index (EEDI) value about 37 per cent below the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) Phase Three standard, set for 2025 implementation," Deltamarin said.
"The daily main engine fuel oil consumption is decreased to 42 t/day at a 19-knot service speed resulting in superior fuel efficiency of 0.033 t/TEU/day.
"Together with the ballast-free approach, this results in an increased utilisation rate of about 73 per cent (1,700 TEU) of nominal container intake in the homogeneous loading condition at scantling draught carrying a 14t TEU container."
