JAPANESE shipping giant MOL has taken delivery of the first car carrier of the next-generation FLEXIE series, the Beluga Ace, which was built at the Minaminippon Shipbuilding Co.
The new vessel marks a major advance in functionality, with six liftable decks, compared with two on conventional car carriers. This allows the Beluga Ace to more effectively meet demand for more diversified vehicles and high and heavy cargo transport.
Specifications of Beluga Ace are: Length: 199.9 metres, Breadth: 32.2 metres, Capacity: 6,800 units (standard passenger vehicles).
The hull design is a complete departure from current car carriers, boldly presenting "MOL" and the letter "A", representing a global brand of "MOL ACE (MOL Auto Carrier Express)", and a white line, which expresses the company's determination to connect its long history of customer service to the future in a seamless manner.
The rounded bow shape will minimise wind resistance and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions two per cent compared to today's car carriers.
The new shape is the result of joint research by MOL, MOL Techno-Trade Ltd, and Akishima Laboratories. IT is one of the environmental impact-reducing technologies developed in the MOL Group's "ISHIN NEXT -MOL SMART SHIP PROJECT-."
