Rosewood upgraded by Sahin Shipyard

Tuzla-based Sahin Shipyard has completed a substantial remodeling of the Rosewood, a Volga-Don general cargo ship (project 1565), said Marine Engineering Bureau, the designer of the vessel’s modernization. After the upgrade the Rosewood was classed to Russian Maritime Register of Shipping’s KM L4 R2-RSN. The ship hull was reinforced by 71%, as well as cargo holds capacity and tonnage were increased in compliance with the requirements of the International Convention on cargo vessels. To improve the seaworthiness the forecastle superstructure height was increased by 1,4 meters. The ship’s conventional deadweight in salt water was increased by 31%, from 4,350 tons to 6,049 tons, the volume of cargo holds – by 45.8%, from 6,371 cbm to 9292 cbm. The vessel was also retrofitted for transportation of dangerous goods (carbon dioxide extinguishing and cooling fans in the holds) and brought to full compliance with international conventions (with installation of the emergency diesel generator and emergency fire pump). The remodeled Rosewood is a twin-screw cargo vessel with 4 cargo holds, double bottom, double sides, with forecastle and poop, aft engine room and accommodation superstructure.
