NYK To Build Four New LNG-Fueled PCTCs!

[Arab Mariners 🚢 @ArabMariners]

NYK has concluded a ship-building contract with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Nanjing) Co. for four LNG-fueled PCTCs. These four vessels will be delivered from 2022 to 2023 and are planned to be assigned to transport vehicles mainly to/from Europe and/or to the #Middle_East.

Further, the vessels will be equipped with battery hybrid technology, which will improve fuel efficiency by mitigating main engine and electrical generator load fluctuations through the support of batteries.

On these vessels, WinGD’s X-DF2.0 iCER main engine will be utilized for the first time in the world. This engine consumes less gas and reduces GHG by cutting methane emissions from exhaust gas by approximately 50%.

@ArabMariners Let go and walkback anchor depends on the depth of the water where you intend to anchor... Shallow water you use let got to dig the anchor in the mud or sand.
In ports and channel/canal you use let go in case of emegency to stop the ship or reduce the impact energy to mini damage

[Arab Mariners 🚢 @ArabMariners]

Upon approaching the anchoring position the speed upon ground of the vessel is brought gradually to zero and the anchor is lowered in water.

1) Let Go: This method is used in over a wide range of vessels including smaller crafts and pleasure yachts to larger vessels with tonnage varying up to 1,00,000 GT.

What Are “Let Go” and “Walk Back” Ship Anchoring Methods?

[Arab Mariners 🚢 @ArabMariners]

Walk back method of anchoring is recommended and used mostly on vessel’s above 1,00,000 GT. The working principle is the same however cable is paid out using the windlass at a fixed speed.
