AKNOUL

The AKNOUL is a Ro-Ro cargo ship with a deadweight tonnage of 5,305 tonnes and an overall length of 122.0 meters, built in 1993. Designed for roll-on/roll-off operations, it is currently flagged in the Bahamas and features a double bottom hull construction, enhancing safety and stability during cargo transport. Its operational profile indicates suitability for regional trade routes, particularly for vehicular and wheeled cargo.

The vessel is currently moving at a speed of 7.0 knots towards MACAS, suggesting it is likely in a laden condition given the operational nature of Ro-Ro vessels. Its draft is currently unspecified, but the speed indicates an active voyage rather than repositioning. The ETA of September 25 presents an opportunity for brokers to assess potential loading and discharge opportunities at the destination port.

The AKNOUL's role as a Ro-Ro cargo vessel positions it favorably in markets requiring efficient transportation of vehicles and wheeled cargo. The age of the vessel may influence charter rates, with considerations around maintenance and operational reliability being crucial for potential charterers. Additionally, the vessel's compliance with regulations and operational efficiency will be key factors in market positioning.

With a gross tonnage of 6,809 and net tonnage of 2,042, the AKNOUL offers substantial capacity for cargo operations. Its geared drive propulsion system, although the total power is unspecified, is designed for effective maneuverability in port operations. The vessel’s construction from Brodogradiliste 'Sava' ensures a solid engineering foundation, while its age necessitates careful consideration regarding maintenance and potential upgrades for compliance with modern standards.
