	Nord Hercules bulk carrier Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES) completed the 110,000DWT bulk carrier, NORD HERCULES (HN: 1817), at its Chiba Works for delivery to Clio Marine Inc., Liberia, on Jan. 21, 2011. This is the first ship of the MES overPanamax type bulk carrier series. This series is newly designed aiming for better efficiency in the marine transport of iron ore, coal and grain in view of the future expansion of the Panama Canal. New regulations are incorporated for better environmental performance, greater flexibility in operation, and safer construction. The vessel is designed as an overPanamax type to have broader versatility satisfying the harbor regulations of major coal unloading ports while maximizing its deadweight. Mooring equipment matches the facilities of iron ore loading ports in Brazil. The structural strength and cargo hold capacity can accommodate the expected cargoes such as iron ore, coal, and grain. The ship design also complies with the Common Structural Rules for bulk carriers (CSR-B) of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), achieving both structural safety and operational freedom. Energy saving can be achieved by employing the most advanced bow and stern forms, a high efficiency propeller, and other energy-saving devices. Enhanced safety is assured by satisfying new regulations for forecastle arrangement and bow part reserve buoyancy. Arrangement of fixed inspection devices and portable ladders in the cargo holds and ballast tanks based upon the SOLAS regulations has increased the safety of the ship. The ship meets the fuel oil tank protection regulations of the MARPOL convention and has a sewage tank to protect the marine environment. The main engine is a compact and high-powered MIT SUI-MAN B&W 6S60MC-C diesel, which satisfies IMO environment standards for exhaust emissions. Principal particulars: L (o.a.) x L (b.p.) x B x D x d: 240.00m x 233.00m x 43.00m x 20.70m DWT/GT: 110,944t/60,997 Main engine: MITSUI-MAN B&W Diesel Engine 6S60MCC MCR: 13,560 kW x 105 rpm Speed, service: 14.5 kt Pictures:
