Alexandra Shipyard Aarhus Flydedok Shiptype Reefer Ship name Alexandra Shipowner Dalmoreprodukt From its Vladivostock base on the Sea of Japan on Russia's Pacific rim, the deepsea fishing and processing specialist Dalmoreprodukt has engineered a major new phase of development of its transporter fleet. The 4,260-dwt Alexandra is the first of seven sisterships designed for the primary role of transferring chilled and frozen fish 52 from factory ships on the grounds to Russia, the Far East and North America. The class is distinguished by the use of state-of-the-art Danish reefer technology and a high propor- tion of western European equipment, and by its suitability for operations in trades outside Dalmoreprodukt's usual business. Constructed in Denmark by north Jutland shipbuilding firm Aarhus Flydedok, the com- pact new 15-knot class marries an essential first-line capability in conveying catches and fish products to the various markets, with a capacity to efficiently engage in the fruit trades.

Built for the demanding Norwegian owner Knutsen Boyelaster, the vessel is powered by a pair of MAN B&W diesel engines, which drive Ulstein propellers through Lohmann gears to deliver a service speed of 14.7 knots. The main engine is capable of developing a maximum continuous output MCR of 13,580 bhp (10,010 kW) at 127 rpm. To aid in navi- gational safety and efficiency, the ship is fit- ted out with two bow thrusters, two aft thrusters and a high-performance rudder for each propeller. The double-hulled vessel is specially designed for meeting the requirements of a dedicated shuttle tanker for offshore loading. The ship has one longitudinal bulkhead in center line and several transverse bulkheads to form 12 cargo tanks, two slop tanks and wing and double bottom tanks for water bal- last. Its segregated ballast tank configuration is (Continued on page 83) Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
