4 FAQs about Technical parameters of ultra-large capacity folding containers in Southern Europe

What are ultra large container ships?

Policies and ethics The development of the global container fleet has followed a clear trend towards ever larger ships over the last 25 years. Particularly striking in this regard is the rise of the dimensionally largest ships, the so-called Ultra Large Container Vessels or ULCVs...

Are ulcvs a dimensionally large container ship?

Since 2010, it can be observed that the number of container ships is only increasing rather slowly, while the average ship size in terms of nominal capacity continues to rise almost linearly. Particularly striking in this regard is the rise of the dimensionally largest ships, the so-called Ultra Large Container Vessels or ULCVs.

What is the design propeller speed for large container ships?

Fig. 5.5 shows the design propeller speed for large container vessels in relation to the delivered power. The design propeller speeds for very large container ships are either 94 rpm, 102 rpm or 104 rpm, depending on the type of the installed main engine (see section 6). The rudder is located directly behind the propeller.

Are there alternative propulsion options for ultra large container ships?

Furthermore the paper discusses the pros and cons of further possible propulsion alternatives for ultra large container ships from the hydrodynamic point of view. These include twin screw propulsion, single screw with additional podded drive arranged behind the single propeller, single screw with additional twin pod drives and more.
