Barge carrier

[edit]
Dutch barge carrier MV ExplorerofDockwise Shipping spotted April 2009 in Bremerhaven, Germany.

She was built by the Valmet Oy Vuosaari shipyardinHelsinki, Finland with yard number 315 as a barge carrier (LASH carrier) in September 1984. The 158.9 m (521 ft 4 in) (LOA) long vessel has a beam of 30.3 m (99 ft 5 in), a depth of 15.5 m (50 ft 10 in) and a draft of 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in) registered. Two four-stroke diesel engines with nine single-acting cylinders of Type 9R32 (230x310) manufactured by the Finnish Wärtsilä Diesel Oy give a total of 7,559 hp (5,637 kW) on two screws propelling the vessel at 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph).[1] By 8,638 DWT tonnage, she has a cargo capacity of 19,453 GT.[2][3][4][5]

She saw service under the names Pavel Antokolsky, Smit Explorer and Explorer before she was sold in 2011 to Karpowership.[2][4][5][6][7]

Powership

[edit]

The originally barge carrier was converted into a Powership at the Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul. She was renamed Karadeniz Powership Zeynep Sultan (KPS11).[8][7] The construction cost was partly financed by a credit in amount of US$75 million shared by the German Investment Corp. (DEG),[9] Netherlands Development Finance Co. (FMO) and Cordiant Capital Inc./ICF International.[10] She has a generation capacity of 125 MW on dual-fuel (HFO- and gas-fired).[8][10] The vessel is registered under the Liberian flag with homeport Monrovia.[2]

On 27 October 2015, the Powership set sail to Jakarta, Indonesia departing from Istanbul following a farewell ceremony, at which another Powership of the fleet, the KPS7 – Karadeniz Powership Ayşegül Sultan, weighed anchor to head to Ghana.[3][11] Karadeniz Powership Zeynep Sultan arrived to Jakarta by the end of November 2015,[12] and sailed to Amurang, where she is helping to resolve the perennial power cuts in North Sulawesi.[10]
