Five or six vessels are under con- sideration for operation on its well- established services between Brazil/ North America (Transroll/Sea-Land joint service) and Brazil/Europe (as a member of the Joint Container Service). The first vessel would be required for delivery in mid/late 1996. "This represents a potential in- vestment of over $400 million," states Washington Barbeito de Vasconcellos, president of expan- sion-minded Transroll. Design pro- posals and specifications have been developed for Transroll by both Bu- reau Veritas — which already class- es its recently-built "B"-class con-ro containerships — and Lloyd's Regis- ter. They were completed and sub- mitted for discussion with Transroll in late September and are very close to being finalized. Principal design criteria for these new 50,000- to 60,000-dwt post-Panamax contain- er-ships include capacity for 3,000 teu's, hatchless operation, and about a 32-foot shallow draft to suit a range of South American ports. They will also feature service speeds of be- tween 23 and 24 knots, resulting in the potential of a "lean" fleet (of five rather than six vessels) able to sus- tain a weekly-frequency service on Transroll's key routes.
