Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) launched 30-08-2013
the 151.5 metre long ROLLDOCK STAR,
the first of two ships for the Dutch concern RollDock B.V.
The specialised newbuilding is operationally versatile,
multi-functional and designed to carry demanding cargo and
heavy project loads, mainly in the offshore sector
ROLLDOCK STAR is for delivery at the end of November and is being
followed by her sister four months later.
FSG Managing Director Peter Sierk said he was delighted at the
trust being placed in this shipyard by international shipping
companies.
“For years we have been the world market leader in the building
of RoRo ferries and the challenge now is to open up a brand new sector.
We have achieved this by making innovative changes to our operations,
design and production just at the right moment with the result that
we are now well on the way to establishing a good name for ourselves
in specialised shipbuilding as well. The two newbuildings for
RollDock B.V. and our further orders demonstrate this.
The main feature of ROLLDOCK STAR is that she has maximum
flexibility and offers a range of different loading possibilities.
Two heavy-duty cranes move cargo weighing up to 700 tons.
In addition ROLLDOCK STAR boasts a stern ramp on which height
can be adjusted and also hatch covers, making her adaptable to
port piers of differing levels. As a result, individual loads of
up to 3,000 tons can be taken on-board or offloaded in
classical RoRo mode.
The ship can also be submerged more than 12 metres to permit cargo
to be floated in or out. She has a deadweight of 8,000 tons.
Innovative solutions also incorporated in this design demonstrate
the high-value approach which enables the FSG to score points
in specialised shipbuilding.
One example is the ballast water system in glass-fibre reinforced
plastic and complete with built-in automated processes and
protocol functions. The new ship design also provides for the
accommodation of up to 32 people, so that specialised personnel
required for sometimes highly complex and sensitive project loads
can also travel along with the crew.
