The oil tanker Gaia Pegasus

Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has completed the construction and delivery of Gaia Pegasus (Hull No. 247), an ore carrier for Elara Maritima S.A. at its Imari Shipyard. The vessel is the second of the 229,000 DWT ore carrier series developed and delivered by Namura. The vessel has five cargo holds and nine cargo hatches, with two longitudinal bulkheads in the cargo area. The hatch covers are the onepanel,
double-skin, side rolling type with chains for opening and closing, and each cover is operated by one hydraulic oil motor. The vessel is equipped with a long stroke, low-revolution and fuel-efficient 2-cycle supercharged diesel engine, which drives a
large diameter propeller achieving superior propulsive performance combined with the vessel hull form based on Namura’s latest technology and long experience. Special considerations were also given to safety, safeguards against environmental pollution, labor saving and operational economy.
The measurements of the oil tanker are:
- overal length: 319.58 meters
- beam: 54.00 meters
- depth: 24.30 meters
- draft: 18.10 meters
- Deadweight: 229,186 metric tons
