Mykali
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Marine & Engineering Co., Ltd. (SHIME) delivered a 76,400 MTDW Panamax bulk carrier, Mykali, to Rain Lily Inc., at the Yokosuka Shipyard on June 17, 2004. The vessel has seven cargo holds and seven cargo hatches suitable for carrying dry bulk cargoes, such as coal, iron ore and grain. The hull form is optimized to achieve both large deadweight and high propulsive efficiency. The Sumitomo Stern System (SILD, NBS propeller and HLES rudder) saves fuel consumption and improves maneuverability. The hull structure is designed in compliance with the classification requirements for the Safe Hull notation. Water ingress detection and alarm system for cargo holds further enhances safety of the vessel. Water ballast tanks are heavily coated with epoxy based paint with backup anodes for corrosion protection. Centralized control system is provided for efficient handling of water
ballast. The system is monitored and controlled remotely from accommodation quarters.
The ship has overall length of 225 meters and beam of 32.26 meters. The draft of the ship while fully loaded is 14.00 meters. This draft is giving to the ship a deadweight of 76,400 metric tons, with gross tonnage of 39,818 GT. The main engine of the ship is Mitsui MAN B&W 7S50MC-C which is giving a power for 14.5 knots speed of the ship.
