New design for heavy lifter
The HLV1600 is designed for the transport of various goods
The HLV1600 is designed with a length of 169.7m, a width of 28m and payload capacity of 22,000 tonnes. With closed hatches, the vessel has a maximum draught of 9m; with open hatches a maximum of 7.5m. The working deck covers an area of 3,800m2, and a crew of 30 can be accommodated on the vessel.
Its loading area with a capacity of 28,000m3, which can be split by an intermediate deck, offers optimum conditions for transporting voluminous part load goods such as windmill blades for offshore wind parks below deck, the company said. If needed, the ship can also transport its load with open hatches.
The heavy lifter is planned to be fitted with two cranes. With its diesel engine, the ship can reach a speed of 16 knots.
