BAO FU ore carrier Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. delivered BAO FU, a 250,877DWT ore carrier, to Wealth Line Inc. at its Imari Shipyard & Works on Oct. 26, 2010. This is the first vessel of the 250,000DWT type of ore carrier and the principal dimensions of the vessel satisfy the restrictions of Port Hedland, Port Walcott, and Dampier, which are the three major ports in Western Australia, so this type is called WOZMAX (Western Australia [Aussie: OZ] Max). Namura has established the improved design by drastic review and modification of the specifications of the existing 230,000DWT type ore carrier. For instance, the accommodation facilities have been upgraded to provide the crew with more comfortable living quarters. For improving propulsion performance and saving fuel oil, the Namura flow Control Fin (NCF) and high-efficiency propeller are equipped, and low-friction and tin-free type A/F (anti-fouling) paint is applied to the underwater hull. Mooring arrangements satisfy the requirements of Ponta Da Madeira in Brazil. A vacuum sewage unit combined with a sewage treatment system is installed. The flowthrough method is adopted for the ballast water exchange, making handling easy. The main engine is the MAN B&W 7S80MC-C (Mark 7) type and engine room machinery is automated based on the NK M0 concept. Central fresh water-cooling system is applied to the main engine and auxiliary machinery for easy maintenance. Other special provisions, such as Means of Access for inspection, double sided skin construction applied to fuel oil tanks, air seal type stern tube sealing device, etc., are provided to improve safety, environment protection, and reduction of labor and operation costs, while complying with the recent international regulations. An elevator is installed for traveling between the accommodation quarters and the engine room. Principal particulars: L (o.a.) x L (b.p.) x B x D x d: 329.95m x 321.00m
