On Friday the 22th of November, 11.00 hrs Arklow Accord was Christened and launched at Ferus Smit in Westerbroek. ‘Arklow Accord’ is the second vessel in a series of six that will be delivered to our new client from the city of Arklow, Ireland.
The design is a bulk oriented general cargo ship that will be mainly employed in the shipment of wheat, corn and other bulk commodities in European waters. The design is a slightly modified version of the first series of 8600 dwt bulkers that Ferus Smit built under the name of Arklow B – series.
The new design is adapted for iceclass 1A, with modified bow form and propulsion with a propeller nozzle added. At the same time the main engine output was decreased to 2000 kW for better fuel efficiency.
