One of the largest container ships of the world is MSC Danit. The vessel was built in 2009 in Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and has capacity for 14,000 TEU, which is compatible only with the largest Maersk vessels. MSC Danit is large and really impressive, with such giant dimensions and modern engineering. The ship has length of 365.50 meters, beam of 51.20 meters and maximum summer draft of 16.00 meters. The cargo ship has gross tonnage of 153,092 GRT and deadweight of 165,517 DWT. Definitely this easily proves the words, that MSC Danit is one of the giants of container shipping. The vessel has large cargo space, large capacity and really strong and improved engine, which has low fuel consumption and really low CO2 emissions, as Daewoo integrated a lot of their developments in shipbuilding and made the ship really environmental. The ship has reliable 12-cylinder, low speed, crosshead diesel engine MAN B&W 12K98MC-C, which has total output power of 96,875 hp. In any case large ship, like MSC Danit is in need of high power and really high speed to reach the destination point of a while. The operating speed of the container carrier is 24.1 knots, while the maximum designed speed is 25.0 knots.
The container ship MSC Danit (IMO: 9404649) is created to be profitable and environmental. The ship has improved cargo spaces in comparison with the same size vessels. The innovation design with positioning the super structure is in midships, and the funnel and the engine room are in the aft. In such case there is larger space for cargo on board and the ship is getting high capacity. The cargo is really much and definitely it is not an easy job to operate with 14,000 TEU, which are usually loaded and discharged in various ports. The cargo handling and cargo stowage programs assist the chief officer and make his job really quite easy, as he need just to monitor and calculate the data coming from the program. Of course this is not the only one innovation on board. The improvements in the propulsion system provide higher power and increase the speed of the ship, without giving more fuel to the diesel engine. The different in the hull design is also increasing the ship’s stability and give better weight distribution longitudinally of the ship.
Really MSC Danit is beautiful ship, which has large measurements and really strong engineering. The ship is easier for operation and inside are integrated a lot of modern systems, which helps for the officers and seamen. In any case this ship is pattern of shipbuilding and all the next large container vessels, will compete it.
