At the christening of MV Patricia in Rostock, Luke King steps aboard SAL’s newest Orca Class vessel for a conversation with Dr. Martin Harren, owner of SAL and the Harren Group. Patricia is the third…
And for people that aren't so familiar, that don't know about the Orca class, tell us a bit about the Orca class.
I think the, let's say, the unusual thing about the Orca class is the combination, I would say, that the speed of this vessel is 19 knots, up to 19 knots.
And this is what you can achieve if you put two main engines, but it has two main engines together with the auxiliary engine on the ship.
she can still be, which is in the modern time very important, be very efficient.
If you only put one main engine to the shaft, she can do 13 knots with 15 tons, and this is much less than even much smaller ships.
At the same time, she's very resilient because even without the two main engines, You can have, let's say, you can have a propulsion with the auxiliary engines.
So she is a combination of being fast, very efficient, very resilient, and still with the cranes.
As you see the hook here, you can believe 1,600 tons for heavy lifters is good.
And maybe later we have this chance to see our crew accommodation is also the next step, well-being of the crew, the bridge.
