i mean... whats the purpose of such a narrow superstructure?

More space for cargo, I'd say.

a car carrier
first Aranda (cruise)

and then Hoegh traveller

what a shame is that

and then this tanker

look at the bridge luckily it sailed less than 10 years it is so ugly that the piramid tanker is nice when you see this one.

Form follows function I think.. Ships are not designed to look pretty..

Yep I know SD but Puttees & Highlanders have been not working out well too. I just don't like them. And they got nickname that we call them too "Missfits"

well a new ugly ship is being build its called the Oceanic and its from the same company as the Deo Volente (or more known as the Agile Solution in SS)

it has the bridge from the Agile but it looks like the bridge or something else was to narrow

Bright future of shipping, I guess.

Quote from: http://www.shipkits.nl/main-menu/hartman-marine-runner/11

"The Netherlands based Hartman Marine Group BV has developed, in close cooperation with Vuyk Engineering and Conoship, a brand new concept.

This vessel, named Hartman M2Runner, is characterized by a surplus of load capacity in the holds, as well as on the tween decks and also on the hatch covers itself. Gross tonnage is just below 3.000 GT.

Typically, this vessel has a a asymmetrical wheel house and accomodation, which enables the vessel to also load odd and long sizes.

Momentarily the first and second, out of a range of 3, are under construction at our yard in Stettin, Poland. Shipkits BV will build this casco based on her proven 'plug & play' concept.

Our scope consists of the building of the complete hull (based on Centraalstaal building kit) included installment of the steering gear, rudder stock, rudder, propeller and propshaft, steel outfitting, piping and a complete paint program.

The first Hartman M2Runner will be delivered to Hartman Building BV in Urk, around mid April 2012. The second will be delivered in Q4 2012."

Where does the exhaust come out,will it come out in the waterline like for example Neptune Despina on this picture?

Rbsanford · « **Reply #986 on:** April 22, 2012, 21:56:10 »

i hope that sometime one will be sent to duluth; despite the uglyness, i would love to get her on camera!

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #987 on:** April 23, 2012, 10:46:41 »

Is it a ship?

Is it ugly?

Hm,what is it? Ahh, i know it. Its the next generation of cheap Cruiseships for advernturers.

Bottman · « **Reply #988 on:** April 23, 2012, 11:44:32 »

Looks like beeing Italian motorized (Vespa). Could be the training vessel for Kapitano Schettino to get back his drivers licence..

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #989 on:** April 23, 2012, 13:02:07 »

Sorry, this is Off-Topic

For Capt. Schettino, the Italians should go back to an old tradition. This is the one and only place for him on a ship. And with the chain, he cant flee so fast from a sinking ship.
