China’s VLOC design guidelines hint at end of restriction to valemaxes
China may soon allow valemax bulk carriers to call at Chinese ports following a recent statement released by the ministry of transport on guidelines for the design and scale of such 400,000 dwt mega-sized VLOCs. The statement, titled ‘Ship scale provision for 400,000 dwt dry bulk carriers’, spelled out the measurements of the giant bulkers as having 362 metres in length, 65.6 metres wide, draught of 30.5 metres, ballast water load of 23 metres and capacity of 403,844 dwt, fitting the measurements of valemaxes. An analyst from Shanghai International Shipping Institute (SISI) was reported saying that the transport ministry’s next step would be determine which ports can accommodate the berthing of the 400,000 dwt VLOCs according to the measurement guidelines, and ultimately allow valemaxes to dock at Chinese ports. SISI also believed that Beijing knows full well that the upsizing of ships is an irreversible trend in the industry, and future ports will need to expand and accommodate bigger and bigger ships. http://www.seatrade-global.com/news/americas/chinas-vloc-design-guidelines-hint-at-end-of-restriction-to-valemaxes.html
