Keppel Lengthening Five
Semi-Container Vessels
For Danish Company
Keppel Shipyard in the process of
completing the lengthening of the
first of five semi-container vessels
for the Danish company Knud i
Larsen. This is the first time Keppel
has been awarded five lengthening
contracts from one company, the
collective value of which is esti-
mated at S$14 million (about
US$7.1 million).
The M/V Bravo Sif was lengthen-
ed by 13 meters (about 42.6 feet),
increasing the container intake from
356 TEUs to 426 TEUs. The vessel's
deadweight has increased by 1,100
tons to 5,500 mts, incorporating 250
tons of steelwork. Delivery time
took approximately four weeks.
The Bravo Sif also underwent
reinforcement of the steel structure
and hull to enable the vessel to be
used in the future as both an open
and closed shelterdecker.
Similar conversion and lengthen-
ing work will be carried out on four
other sister vessels which are due to
arrive at Keppel within the next few
months.
