On August 6th, Taizhou Kouan shipbuilding has officially named and delivered the 62,000 DWT multi-purpose heavy lift vessel “BOYM” which was built for Chinese-polish Stock Shipping.
It is reported that the first voyage of “BOYM” will go to Taicang port in Jiangsu Province to load Chinese export equipment such as wind power and transformers.
“BOYM” is the 6th of Chinese-polish Stock Shipping 62,000 DWT MPC series, which is the largest DWT multi-purpose heavy lift vessel in the world. It is 199.9m in length, 32.26m in breadth, 19.3m in depth, 13.5m in full load draught, and equipped with 4 sets of heavy lift cranes on the side, and the maximum lifting capacity of the cranes is up to 300 tons, so that it can be flexibly loaded with various sizes of heavy equipment cargoes.
The EEDI index of this vessel meets Phase 3 and NOx meets Tier III emission requirements. Combined with large deadweight tonnage and box structure design, this vessel has excellent cargoability and advantages in the scale of project material transportation.
From 2021 to 2023, the first five vessels of 62,000 DWT have been put into operation one after another, and have been operated on the liner routes of North America, Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand, which are mainly operated by Chinese-polish Stock Shipping, and have successfully completed a number of China’s export transportation tasks, including a number of tasks of the ocean section of the full logistics service.
On the eve of the naming and delivery of BOYM, the 62,000 DWT vessel project of Chinese-polish Stock Shipping, as a new generation of heavy lift multi-purpose vessel with full hatch cover, won the Third Prize of Science and Technology Award of China Shipbuilding Engineering Society.
BOYM is equipped with 5 large-opening cargo holds, with an effective loading area of 166 x 32 square meters, equivalent to 12.5 standard basketball courts. Compared to the previous 32,000 dwt vessel, the increase of 2,000 square meters of deck area enables the installation of 9 to 12 more conventional-sized wind blades. Meanwhile, the lifting capacity of the vessel has also been greatly improved.
