AI Maritime Insights

AI-powered analysis and highlights for THORN.

AI Maritime Summary
Intelligent vessel analysis

The THORN is a 157.12-meter container ship built in 1996 with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 14,587 tonnes and a capacity of 750 TEU. As a fully cellular vessel, it was designed for efficient container transport, although it is currently classified as scrapped. The vessel's double hull design typically enhances safety and compliance with environmental regulations, although its operational status is non-active.

Operations Insight
Commercial & operational analysis

As the THORN is classified as scrapped, it is not operational, which eliminates the need for current AIS data interpretation. Previously, a low draft would indicate ballast operations, while a high draft would suggest loading or cargo operations. However, in its current state, any analysis of operational efficiency or speed patterns is irrelevant.

Key Features
Notable vessel characteristics
Designed for container transport with a TEU capacity of 750, suitable for regional trade routes.
Double hull construction enhances safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Formerly operated under a flag state that may affect its market positioning and regulatory compliance.
Market Insights
Commercial market analysis

For brokers and charterers, the THORN's classification as scrapped significantly limits its market positioning. Its operational history may provide insights into the trade routes it served, but the age and current status suggest it is no longer viable for commercial operations. Brokers should focus on alternatives in the market that offer competitive DWT and TEU capacities.

Technical Analysis
Engineering & specifications

The vessel's specifications indicate a moderate capacity for a container ship of its era, with a DWT of 14,587 tonnes and a TEU capacity of 750. The double hull design, while beneficial for safety, may not meet the latest regulatory standards for active vessels. Brokers should consider the implications of the vessel's age on potential maintenance, charter rates, and overall operational reliability.
