Around 40 percent of newbuildings are made up of ships of over 4,000 TEU capacity. For the very large units of over 4,500 TEU, two trends are being followed: The large Panamax ships and the Post Panmax vessels. The increasing number of the ever larger ships also demands new concepts ...
For a fast containership with low draught two different designs were made, a conventional twin-screw vessel with bulbous bow and a single-screw vessel without bulb but with tunnel stern. Both designs were optimized using CFD. Viscous flow and potential flow codes were used. For the potential ...
Each hatchcoverless reefer containership of this new class has a capacity of about 1,000 40' containers, or 2,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units). That corresponds to a refrigerated capacity of approx. two million cubic feet (cbf), making the new reefer ships the largest ever built. ...
