Coral Emerald is the newest bulk carrier from the fleet of Picer Marine S.A.. The ship has deadweight of 75,632 metric tons and from the group of Panamax bulk carrier. The ship has a length of 225 meters, a beam of 32.26 meters and a draft of 14.00 meters. These measurements can carry gross tonnage of bulk cargo of 38,893 metric tons. Coral Emerald has a cargo holds’ capacity for 89,201 cubic meters. The ship is the newly built by Sanoyas Hishino Meisho Corp. into the ship-yard of Mizushima Works. The vessel is the 69th of the series of Sanoyas Panamax and the 43rd of the 75,500 metric tons type, with largest permitted beam to pass through Panama Chanel. This is very important for every ship-owner that will operate with this vessel. Passing through Panama Chanel reduce the outcomes of the ship-owner with more than 20% per voyage, just with avoiding the longer route under the South America.The bulk carrier Coral Emerald has 7 cargo holds for bulk cargo. All the holds are with hopper bottom for more efficient loading. This increases the loading and discharging speed with more than 5%, which for bulk carrier is very useful and important. The engine room is located aft, just tike to the most of the modern merchant vessels. That engine of Coral Emerald is MAN B&W 7S50MC-C. The main engine is low speed, long stroke and 2-cylesThe average cruising speed of the vessel is about 14.5 knots, too high speed for bulk carrier, but very useful, when we are talking about decreasing of outcomes and times for delivery. The hatch covers are of the type - side rolling, driven by electro hydraulic motor and chains. That helps for the vessel to open and close very secure and fast the hatches, and even in forecast of raining the vessel is loading or discharging till the rain starts. The ship is well optimized for reducing outcomes and expenses about voyages, and also reduced the CO2 emissions into the air. This is new generation vessel built in May 2007, and carries all ecological certificates, because the ship should not only be a profitable machine, but also to prevent pollution in the air and water.
