largest chemical tanker

St James Park
St James
Park is the
ship, which
was highly
discussed
last days, due to hijacking of
Somali Pirates. The ship is
chemical tanker with deadweight
of 13,924 metric tons and gross
tonnage of 7,926 gross tons. The
ship is quite large for chemical
tanker, carrying dangerous
cargoes from class B. The net
tonnage of the chemical tanker
is 4,736. The cargo vessel St
James Park (or Saint James Park
as it is also known) has length of
132.00 meters and the beam is
20.50 meters. The depth of the
ship is 8.80 meters and the draft,
when fully loaded can reach 7.90
meters. The ship is sailing under
the Great Britain’s flag for the
company Zodiac Maritime
Agencies Ltd. The chemical
tanker was built in 1993 and is
sailing for the company through
all the years. The chemical

manufacture of plastics and
sailing on voyages between
Western Europe and Asia. The
ship has 30 cargo tanks divided
into 3 groups – 10 central, 10
from starboard and 10 from
port. Also there are 2 slop tanks
for tank cleaning and storage of
the dirty water. The capacity of
the cargo tanks is 16,207 cubic
meters and the displacement of
the ship is 17,792 metric tons.

Millennium Park
Millennium
Park is one
more
chemical
tanker of
the company Zodiac Maritime
Agencies Ltd in London. The ship
is quite modern and built in
2008. The cargo ship is one of
the largest for the company in
this class and has amazing
measurements and systems for
preventing of water and air
pollution. The requirements of
SOLAS and MARPOL and quite
high for this type of ships, but
we can tell that Millennium Park
is covering all of them. Really this
is one very beautiful and quite
interesting chemical tanker
designed to carry some of the
most dangerous cargoes of the
world. The cargo ship
Millennium Park has overall
length of 145.50 meters, while
the length between
perpendiculars is 142.30 meters.
The moulded beam of the vessel
is 23.70 meters and the depth is
13.35 meters. When the ship is
fully loaded the summer draft
can reach 9.72 meters. Really we
can see the large measurements
of the ship and can compare it
easily with the other chemical
tankers, because it is quite rarely
met so large ships. Millennium
Park has summer deadweight of
19,998 metric tons and the gross
tonnage of 11,590 gross tons.
The net tonnage of the ship is
6,119 net tons and the TPC is
28.770 tons. The last
measurement is quite important
for loading and discharging of
the ship. This value shows the
how many tons...

Stolt Falcon
When we
are talking
about large
and well
known
chemical tankers, we should not
miss ships like, this one, which
we will introduce in this article.
The chemical tanker Stolt Falcon
is the ship, buit in 1978 and gave
the beginning of whole class
chemical tankers in the company
of Stolt Nielsen. The chemical
tanker is neither newly
refurbished nor most modern
ship, but in 2007 it got the award
of ST&T for ship of 2007. The
ship is really large for this type of
cargo ships. Stolt Falcon has
length of 177.00 meters, beam of
28.00 meters and draft of 6.70
meters. The chemical tanker has
deadweight of 37,200 metric tons
and this is really large capacity
for vessel carrying so dangerous
type of cargo. The ship was built
in 1978 into the ship-yard of
Hanjin Heavy Industries &
Construction Co. Ltd. with hull
number 3004. The ship is from
the highest class of danger
according to IMO specifications,
carrying chemicals from class A.
Stolt Falcon really is very safety,
not because of the cargo on
board, or because of the safety
equipment, but mostly because
of the well organized work on
board...

Sunny Leo
Sunny Leo
is new
chemical
tanker built
in 2008
year into the ship-yard of Niigata
Shipbuilding & Repair, Inc. under
hull number 0027. The ships like
this one are from lower class of
chemical tankers. Sunny Leo is
pretty small ship with deadweight
of 6,717.55 metric tons. In spite
of this fact, the chemical tanker
is designed to carry all kind of
chemicals, even the most
dangerous class. The gross
tonnage of Sunny Leo is 4,550
gross tons. The ship looks very
small, and compared with the
giants of sailing this is only the
small sailing boat, but the price
of the cargo and the voyages are
as important as the other ships.
The overall length of Sunny Leo
is 109.61 meters and the length
between perpendiculars is 103.00
meters. The beam of the
chemical tanker is 17.20 meters,
depth is 8.90 meters and the
draft is 6.65 meters. These
measurements are giving to the
ship capacity for 22
compartments for cargo. As
already mentioned in many
articles the all 22 tanks are
separated with stainless steel and
the manifolds allow to the
loaded each tank separately.
There is no other ship like
chemical tanker, because here
the lowest mistake...

Gross Tonnage of the vessel is
29,965 gross tons. Bow Saga has

parcel chemical tanker are
amazing, because most of the
ships in this sector of Maritime
Transport are smaller because of
the type of cargo they are
carrying. But Odfjel are
innovating and modernizing their
fleet. The simple prove for my
words is the newest ship of
Odfjel and exactly the ship we
are talking about - Bow Saga.
The overall length of the
chemical tanker is 182.79 meters,
the length between
perpendiculars is 175.19 meters

Tarantella is one chemical
tanker, which I hadn’t heart till

information about this ship and
definitely became speechless,
because this ship is one perfectly
