An iron ore carrier, ''Berge Stahl'' has a capacity of she was built in 1986 by Hyundai Heavy Industries.〔〔(''"Propulsion Trends in Bulk Carriers"'' ) MAN Diesel Group – retrieved: 2007-04-12 (Adobe Acrobat *.pdf document)〕 The vessel is long, has a beam, or width, of , and a draft, or depth in the water, of .〔 Her MAN B&W 7L90MCE diesel engine is high, drives a single propeller, and puts out 27,610 horsepower (20.59 MW), has a top speed of , and has a rudder.〔 She is owned by the Singaporean-operated shipping company (Berge Bulk ).〔 Because of its massive size, ''Berge Stahl'' could only tie up, fully loaded, at two ports in the world, hauling ore from the Terminal Marítimo de Ponta da Madeira in Brazil to the Europoort near Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Even at these ports, passage must be timed to coincide with high tides to prevent the ship running aground. ''Berge Stahl'' made this trip about ten times each year, or a round-trip about every five weeks.〔(''"Machine Support services on world's largest dry bulk carrier"'' ) Machine Support News〕 The newly opened deep- water iron ore wharf at Caofeidian in China recently (October 2011)〔http://news.yzdsb.com.cn/system/2011/10/31/011473512.shtml〕 received a fully loaded ''Berge Stahl'', and several other Chinese ports are being made ready for Vale's even more enormous Valemax ships. ''Berge Stahl'' can operate from other ports if not fully loaded. In September 2006, the ship carried ore to the port of Majishan, China, where it was dry-docked and given its twenty-year inspection.〔(''"Largest bulk cargo ship in the world comes to China"'' ) – CNSPhoto.com – September 7, 2006〕 On the return voyage to Rotterdam, the ship picked up a partial load of ore in Dampier, Western Australia, and Saldanha Bay in South Africa (where the maximum draft permitted is 21 m). In April 2014, the ''Berge Stahl'' received her very last dry-docking, in Portugal. == A trip from Brazil to The Netherlands == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Berge Stahl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
