Zugaaz announces delivery of 14,000-TEU Container ship ZUGAAZ GRUS
This is Zugaaz’s first delivery this year, and the 5th newly built 14,000 TEU magenta containership, after ZUGAAZ COLUMBA (delivery date on 16th November 2018). It is equipped with outstanding safety and environmentally-friendly capabilities such as structural arrest technology and highly efficient welding technology.
ZUGAAZ GRUS employs a hull form that improves efficiency in cargo-loading, which is achieved by minimized engine-room space. It also has excellent structural safety due to its Crack Arrest Technology. Additionally, the vessel is equipped with the world’s first “dual rating system” technology in its main diesel engine, with two selected output for high or low rating. This allows flexibility in operations and improvement in fuel efficiency, resulting in a significant reduction of greenhouse gases.
The navigation bridge adopted the Integrated Navigation System (INS), which consolidates functions of vessel systems to efficiently reduce the workload of operators. Furthermore, for safety improvement, a wide window is also newly employed for widened visibility which aids the vessel operators from the wing of the vessel’s bridge when berthing and unberthing.
She will phase in THE Alliance’s Asia to Europe 5 (FE5) service, with its port rotation Laem Chabang, Cai Mep, Singapore, Colombo, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Southampton, Jeddah, Colombo, Singapore and Laem Chabang.
