MES delivers next ship of its Eco-Ship neo60BC design, 60,000 DWT type bulk carrierM.V. Phoenix Rising
 
Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES) completed and delivered a 60,000 dwt type bulk carrier M.V. Phoenix Rising (MES Hull No. 1903) at its Chiba Works on July 1, 2015 to Saville Shipping Corporation, Liberia. 
 
Phoenix Rising is the second ship of the builder’s neo60BC, and the third Eco-Ship in the neo series lineup.
 
The vessel features four cranes and five cargo holds, and keeps the superior usability of Mitsui 56, the shipbuilder said. The size of hatch opening is the largest for this type of vessel in terms of both length and width. The vessel is designed for loading various cargos like coal, ore, grain, as well as lengthy/heavy cargo such as steel pipe and hot coil, achieving over 60,000 deadweight with panamax beam and keeps the neo56’s compatibility for ports and trade routes.
 
MES said the ship’s new bow and stern form enables improved performance and maneuverability in both calm and rough sea conditions. The vessel is designed in accordance with IACS Common Structural Rules.
 
The vessel’s main engine, a MITSUI-MAN B&W diesel engine 6S50ME-B9.3, complies with MARPOL NOx restriction (Tier-II) for exhaust gas emissions, gives superior fuel oil consumption over wide range of output. Considering strengthened restriction for SOx, the ship has low sulfur fuel oil tanks, which are designed for operation in ECA (Emission Control Areas).
