THE FORTUNE MK II
27,000 DWT international deep sea, Lake Fitted, 14 knots, 6 holds, wide hatch type multi purpose dry cargo and self trimming dry bulk, cargo carrier equipped with MAN B&W two stroke diesel engine, 3 sets of 40T hydraulic level luffing cranes and hydraulically operated end folding hatch covers.
BASIS OF THE FORTUNE MK II DESIGN
The design features of the FORTUNE MK II vessels have been developed through research and consultations with our many internationally prominent and successful clients. The latest trends in type, parcel size, steel products, coils and trade in international deep sea transportation, requirement of ballast handling in restricted waters, the latest trends in shipboard manning practices, latest regulations governing pollution, safety and communications have been incorporated in the FORTUNE MK II design. Latest developments in structural analysis, finite element analysis have also been incorporated in the design with additional notation DNV NAUTICUS assigned to the vessels.
