35000DWT Bulk Carrier

Wright International Ltd is delighted to be able to bring this superb 35,000DWT BULK CARRIER to the market direct from the shipyard. It is manufactured to be used anywhere in the world and being BV (Bureau Veritas) it is part of the I.A.C.S Ltd group. This in itself is testimony to the outstanding quality of this vessel. With a cruising speed of 14 knots and range of 15,000 nautical miles this is one bulk carrier that is going to spend a lot of time circumnavigating the worlds Oceans.

The Naval Architect realised that any bulk carrier is only as good as engine and that is why this vessel has been fitted with a Hitachi- MAN B& W 6S42MC Mark7 2-stroke single acting reversible crosshead main engine. This 6 cylinder 8820BHP engine operates at just 136rpm and being a two stroke engine with less moving parts, it will run for long periods of time so long as the general servicing is maintained. Being a Hitachi MAN B& W engine spares and service agents are found in almost all major ports in the world.

As this vessel is designed to be an Ocean travelling Bulk Carrier, the Naval Architect arranged for it to be single screw and double hulled. This allows for the shipping of grain, metal concentrates, iron ore, scrap metal, coal, bauxite, salt and sugar. It can also carry long cargo such as pipes, bagged cement, bagged cargoes, timber, logs and lumber. Having five holds allows you to mix the cargo if required and being able to load and unload its own cargo from the Deck Cranes making it suitable for ports without these facilities. Do not forget Wright International Ltd is able to offer the full and comprehensive package such as:-

•NEW BUILD/ Brokerage - Wright International Ltd has now over 700 boats on our site at present and we will have over 1000 by the end of this year as we bring on more operatives who will be focused in finding new listings for us.

•SHIP MANAGEMENT – a growing part of our business now includes SHIP MANAGEMENT as more and more of our vessels require their owners to be almost silent partners.
