Monte Tamaro is a container ship owned by A.P. Moller Singapore Pte. Ltd.[3] and operated by Maersk Line AS.[2] The 272-metre (892 ft) long ship was built at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering[1] in Okpo, South Korea in 2007. Originally owned by Monte Tamaro GmbH & Co KG, a subsidiary of Hamburg Süd,[2] she has had two owners and been registered under three flags.
The vessel is one of ten ships of the Monte class built for Hamburg Süd by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries between 2004 and 2009.[8]
Construction[edit]
Monte Tamaro had its keel laid down on 26 June 2007[1] at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering[1] in Okpo, South Korea. Its hull has an overall length of 272 metres (892 ft).[1] In terms of width, the ship has a beam of 40 metres (130 ft).[1] The height from the top of the keel to the main deck, called the moulded depth, is 24.2 metres (79 ft).[1]
The ship's container-carrying capacity of 5,552 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) (5,552 20-foot shipping containers)[6] places it in the range of a Post-Panamax container ship.[9] The ship's gross tonnage, a measure of the volume of all its enclosed spaces, is 69,132.[1] Its net tonnage, which measures the volume of the cargo spaces, is 34,823.[1] Its total carrying capacity in terms of weight, is 71,587.5 long tons deadweight (DWT).[1]
The vessel was built with a HSD Engine Co. Ltd. 8RTA96C-B[7] main engine, which drives a fixed-pitch propeller. The 8-cylinder engine has a Maximum Continuous Rating of 45,760 kW with 102 revolutions per minute at MCR. The cylinder bore is 960mm. The ship also features 4 main power distribution system auxiliary generators, 3 at 4,100-kilowatt (5,500 hp), and 1 at 2,700-kilowatt (3,600 hp).[7] The vessel's steam piping system features an Aalborg CH 8-500 auxiliary boiler.[7]
Construction of the ship was completed on 30 November 2007.[1] As of 2018[update], the ship is classified by the ABS with the code "A1, Container Carrier, AMS, ACCU; RRDA, BWE, Ice Class D0, UWILD, PMP[1]", meaning that it was constructed under the supervision of a recognized classification society, that the construction complies with the society's rules, and that it is classed as a general cargo carrier and container ship.[1]
