(HQ: 1083 Tsuneishi, Numakuma-cho, Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan; President & Executive Officer: Sachio Okumura) completed its first WIDE KAMSARMAX, an 88,000 MT bulk carrier, on July 28 at the Tsuneishi Factory. Inheriting its name from the best-selling KAMSARMAX brand under which 300+ ships have been built, the WIDE KAMSARMAX is a new eco-ship that retains its versatility while increasing cargo loading capacity. WIDE KAMSARMAX has approximately 6,000 MT more deadweight tonnage (*1) than KAMSARMAX for heightened transport efficiency. Cargo capacity was also increased by approximately 5,300 m\u00b3, enabling large-volume loading of low-density cargo, such as grains. To retain versatility, the length remains at 229 m, (same as that of the KAMSARMAX), while breadth is 36 m, making it possible to enter approximately 90% of the ports that TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING-built KAMSARMAX ships have called at to date. Compared to the KAMSARMAX, we improved fuel consumption per ton-mile by approximately 5% with this ship model development and the application of our unique MT-FAST (*2) energy-saving technology. We also meet the international NOx emission Tier III regulation and use a full-double fuel tank to prevent oil spills, combining reduced environmental burden with economy from excellent fuel efficiency. \u25a0WIDE KAMSARMAX details (TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING\u2019s Products page) https:\/\/www.tsuneishi.co.jp\/english\/products\/wide-kamsarmax\/ \uff1cKey specifications of this ship\uff1e Ship name: PERSISTENCE DIVA Length overall x breadth x depth: Approx. 229 m x 36 m x 20 m Deadweight: Approx. 88,900 MT Cargo capacity: Approx. 103,500 m\u00b3 Full-load draft: 14.45 m Gross tonnage: Approx. 47,000 *1: Deadweight tonnage The total weight of cargo, fuel, water, food supplies that can be loaded onto a ship. *2: MT-FAST An energy-saving device that improves propulsion efficiency by approximately 3 to 5% by attaching multiple fins in front of the propeller to adjust water flow.
