M/V PARSIFAL

This new generation of RO/RO vessels for Wallenius
Wilhelmsen Logistics Round the World Liner Service is
designed for efficient transportation and handling of High
& Heavy rolling cargo, Non Containerised Cargo (NCC),
Breakbulk, Special Project Cargo and cars.
Major design objectives are optimum hull shape de-
signed for low resistance, good transport economy,
efficient and safe cargo handling and low environmental
impact. The vessel is built to the notation of Det Norske
Veritas +1A1, General Cargo Carrier / RO/RO, MCDK, E0,
TMON, PWDK, PET.

General Arrangement
The vessel has 9 cargo decks of which 6 are fixed
for loading High and Heavy, Non Containerised
Cargo and break-bulk cargoes.
All cargoes are loaded and discharged over a 12 m
wide stern ramp with a 505 t capacity and access to
the main deck (deck 4).
The hull is double sided up to deck 5, which is water-
tight as is the mail deck. Fuel oil is stored in protect-
ed deep tanks both forward and aft.
The vessel’s engine room is located aft, protected
mooring stations are located both forward and aft,
and the wheelhouse/accommodations are located
forward to provide space for weather deck cargo.
Accommodations are arranged in two decks on the
weather deck; one for common spaces and offices
and one for cabins. Much effort has been put into
providing good common spaces with a high stand-
ard of interior design and extra sound insulation
between the cabins.
The pilot ladder, gangway and bunker station are
located in recesses on deck no 5 on both sides of
the vessel. The rescue boat is located in a recess on
deck 5, port side. The free fall lifeboat is located aft
with a safe walkway from the accommodation block.
Cargo hold
The cargo hold is arranged for efficient and safe
cargo handling, with completely flushed bulkheads,
or alternatively horizontal cargo support rails to
support efficient stowing of breakbulk cargoes.
Decks no 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are reinforced for forklift
operations and roll trailers. The main deck is rein-
forced for heavy lift trailers including Samson-type
trailers. The clear height of the main deck is 7.1m.
The three hoistable car decks are constructed with
plywood plating to save weight and are operated
using electrical winches to eliminate the risk of
hydraulic oil spills.
Cargo is secured through closely spaced circular
holes and cloverleaves, to ensure safe and flexible
stowing. Side lashing points are arranged on all
heavy decks and there are top lashing points on the
main deck to secure high and heavy cargoes.
The weather deck is arranged for the transportation
of project cargo such as windmill blades, yachts and
containers.
Fans are distributed along the vessel’s upper deck

providing good ventilation during loading/dis-
charging. In the main holds air can be changed at
least 20 times per hour.
Machinery
The main engine is a MAN B&W 7L70ME - C8,
electronically controlled, with a maximum output of
20,100 kW at 95RPM.
Electric power is generated by a steam turbine gen-
erator and by a shaft generator in normal sea going
condition. Electric output of the steam turbine is
about 800kW and 1100kW for the shaft generator.
In port and during manoeuvring, electric power can
be provided by 3 auxiliary generator sets giving up
to 2400kW each or sourced from shore.
Efficient, low resistance rudder and transverse
thrusters of 2200kW forward and aft are fitted for
good manoeuvrability. All auxiliary systems and fuel
tanks are arranged for operation on Low Sulphur
Heavy Fuel Oil and Marine Diesel Oil.
Environmental initiatives
The hull lines are optimised to give minimum
resistance in calm water and waves. Extensive hull
optimisation and model tank tests have been un-
dertaken to ensure good performance over a range
of draughts reflecting the most frequently used
loading conditions. To further reduce the resistance
the vessel has been equipped with a rudder bulb
and a duck tail.
A steam turbo generator system is installed and es-
timated to cut the total annual fuel consumption by
about 5–6%. CO2, SOX and emissions of particles
(PM) will fall proportionally; and NOX emissions by
about 3%.
A PureBallast water ballast treatment system is in-
stalled with a capacity of 1000 m³/hour fulfilling the
IMO’s “Convention on Ballast Water Treatment”.
A bilge water separation system of 5 ppm ensures
minimum emissions to the sea.
Systems and equipment have been designed to
minimise energy consumption. Examples include a
chilled water air conditioning system, extra insula-
tion in the accommodation block, dual speed water
ballast pumps and several separate light zones in
the cargo hold.
The vessel is built to the voluntary class notation
CLEAN and delivered with a CLEAN PASSPORT,
an inventory of all materials potentially hazardous
to human health or the environment, used in the
2011-09-01/liv
construction of a ship.
