in aanbouw bij Ferus Smit B.V., Westerbroek
LxBxH 89.00 x 13.35 x 8.70 meter

On Saturday the 6th of July, 11.00 hrs, our Nb. 416
will be launched at Westerbroek.

Nb. 416 is the second vessel in a series of 2 ‘Trollmax bulkers’
built for Erik Thun A.B.. These are bulk oriented general cargo
ships specially dimensioned to exactly fit through the locks of
the trollhattan canal, connecting the Vanern (large interior lake
of Southern Sweden) with the Port of Goteborg at the North Sea.
Thanks to a light high tensile steel hull construction and a very
full hullform with a large bulb, the ships will carry an absolute
maximum amount of cargo deadweight through the restricted
dimensions of the canal and locks.

The ships will have following characterisics:
Loa = 89.00 mtr
Lpp = 84.99 mtr
B = 13.35 mtr
D = 8.70 mtr
T max = 6.145 mtr
DW max = abt 5110 ton
T canal = 5.40 mtr
DW canal = abt 4160 ton
Hold volume = 210.000 cft
