In order to better accommodate customers’ high and heavy (H&H) and breakbulk cargo, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) introduce the Mark V vessel, a new RoRo super vessel that will lead the shipping industry in sustainability and innovation. The first vessel will be delivered in March 2011, fol- lowed by another in August, and two more in 2012. T he Mark V – a Panamax vessel that will service the round-the-world trade – the largest of its kind, with 50,335 square metres in deck area, of which 31,250 square metres is reserved for high and heavy cargo. The strengthened stern ramp has a 500-tonne capacity, and cargo can even be loaded on the weather deck, which has a ramp from the deck below. Despite the increased capacity, the Mark V will use 15 to 20 percent less fuel per unit transported than the Mark IV, thanks to a streamlined hull and an advanced turbo generator, which produces electricity from exhaust heat. The turbo generator also reduces emissions of sulphur dioxides and carbon dioxides by five to six percent, and a state-of-the-art water ballast treatment system avoids harmful transfer of microorganisms to the sea. Customers will also benefit from the increased deck heights of the vessel, designed for the efficient transport- ation of rolling, breakbulk and project cargo.

testing programme. The ship has a maxi-
mum air draft (measured above the normal
ballast waterline) of 46 metres, an interna-
tional gross tonnage of 76,500 tons, and a
preliminary net tonnage of 27,500 tons.
