Watch: Successful Launching Of Cargo Vessel “Arklow Accord”
On Friday the 22nd of November, Our Nb. 438 was successfully launched at the Ferus Smit yard in Westerbroek.
M.V. Arklow Accord is the second vessel in a series of 6 that will be delivered to our client from the city of Arklow, Ireland.
The design is a bulk oriented general cargo ship that will be mainly employed in the shipment of wheat, corn and other bulk commodities in European waters.
The design is a slightly modified version of the first series of 8600 dwt bulkers that Ferus Smit built under the name of Arklow B – series. The new design is adapted for ice-class 1A, with modified bow form and propulsion with a propeller nozzle added. At the same time the main engine output was decreased to 2000 kW for better fuel efficiency.
This first ship has the following characteristics:

- B = 14.99 mtr
- D = 9.70 mtr
