Cargo ship : Ro-Ro / Lo-Lo ship (shipyard)
5100 DWT P S WERFTEN

For the newly designed Ro-Ro/Lo-Lo Multipurpose--Carrier of the Hegemann Yards, the PEENE-WERFT, WOLGAST got four contracts which got the construction numbers 475, 476 and 480, 481. The four identical vessels are earmarked by their versatile utilization in connection with their high degree of loading flexibility. The 100 m long and 18,80 m wide compact Projectcarriers are fitted with a 70 m long weather deck hatch and a big sternramp for heavy cargo gives access to the Ro-Ro-deck also for over sized cargo.

A big and weathertight covered tween deck hatch, which can be by choice open or closed allows the separate loading of the lower hold. With the lower hatch open the transportation of extreme dimensioned cargo is possible under watertight conditions below deck. Both the Ro-Ro-deck and tank top are streng-thened for heavy cargo. The vessels are not only fitted for rolling cargo as trailer, Mafis or big project construction parts but also for transport of 500 containers. With the two special for this type of vessel developed Liebherrcranes with a SWL of 100 t each it is possible, independent from shore/harbour facilities to load or unload cargoblocks of up to 200 t. The for this type of ship high service speed of 16 kts as well as a large range give these ships constructed for unrestricted voyage a multipurpose utilization.
