The vessel is really high effective and profitable, as on board are installed the latest developments of the Naikai Zosen Corporation. The overall length of the general cargo ship Glorious Kauri is 184.75 m, while the length between perpendiculars is 177.00 m. The beam of the vessel is 30.60 m, the depth is 14.50 m and the maximum draft is 9.60 m. The dry cargo ship is constructed with optimized cargo holds, which have improved capacity and strength. The deadweight of the general cargo ship is 38,200 DWT and the gross tonnage is 23,857 GRT. The ship Glorious Kauri has large cargo holds and total grain capacity of 46,315 cubic meters. The ship is designed with double hull technology, increasing the structural performance and stability. The general cargo ship is designed with modern design with large hatches. Glorious Kauri has five cargo holds, which have wider hatches and electro-hydraulic cover system. On the deck there are also four cranes with capacity of 30.0 tons each, which speed up the cargo handling process in the ports. The general cargo ship is really effective and environmental, combining the modern technology, reliable engineering and large capacity on board. The vessel can transport various types of cargoes, such as coals, grain, ore, sulfur, cement, bales and even lengthy boxes.

The modern propulsion system and the large-diameter SSD propeller allow the ship to operate with service speed of 14.3 knots. The surf-bulb additionally increases the fuel efficiency and power of the engineering. The general cargo ship Glorious Kauri has really low fuel consumption, which is decreased with more than 25% in comparison with same size conventional ships. The sharp-edged bow (called Ax-Bow) is improving the sea-keeping performance, decreasing the water resistance is calm and heavy sea. The vessel is definitely some pattern for shipbuilding, combining efficiency and economy of operations.
The general cargo ship Glorious Kauri has broad beam and shallow draft, which also permit entering low-draft ports, lakes and rivers. Such innovation is important for flexibility of operations. The improved rudder area allows course keeping stability, despite the broad beam.
The vessel has IMO number 9530711, MMSI 373052000 and call sign 3EYM6. The ship is operating under the flag of Panama and by the Singapore’s company Pacific Carriers.
