Bulk Carrier NSS GRANDEUR
Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES) has delivered the 177,000DWT bulk carrier, NSS GRANDEUR (HN: 1646) to Grand Shipping S. A. of Panama at the Chiba Works. The NSS GRANDEUR is the 10th of the MES Dunkerquemax series, which is designed with super-wide hatch openings to facilitate cargo-handling work. The ship has nine holds and nine hatches and the total cargo hold capacity of 197,014m3. The main engine is the Mitsui- MAN B&W 6S70MC diesel engine that satisfies the IMO environmental standards for exhaust gas. Optimal matching at normal output allows decreasing fuel consumption. Adoption of the electric-control lubrication system for the engine cylinders contributes to cost reduction in ship operation. The ballast tanks of top and bottom side are separated to facilitate ballasting and deballasting work. The exchange of ballast water is possible during navigation for marine environment protection. The diesel engines for electric power generation also meet the IMO environmental standards for exhaust gas.
