ATLANTIC Container Line (ACL) has named its latest G4 vessel, Atlantic Star, in the Helen
Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore's Dundalk Marine Terminal. The vessel
is registered in the United Kingdom and is one of five
ships in the carrier's new G4 fleet.
"The ACL G4 vessels are the
first of their kind and the largest multipurpose ro-ro/containerships ever
built," the company said. "They incorporate an innovative design that
increases capacity without significantly changing the dimensions of the
vessel."
"The G4s are bigger, greener and more
efficient than their predecessors. Their container capacity is more than
doubled at 3,800 TEU, with 28,900 square metres of ro-ro space
and a car capacity of 1,300-plus vehicles.
"The ro-ro ramps are wider and
shallower and the decks are higher - up to 7.4 metres - with fewer columns that
enable much easier loading and discharge of oversized cargo. Fuel consumption
per TEU has been dramatically reduced and emissions have been eliminated by
scrubbers," ACL said, reported American Shipper.
