MV Faust Luxury Vehicle Car Carrier Cargo Ship Full Documentary Subscribe to US Today! MV Faust is a large ro-ro large car carrier built in 2007 by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for Wallenius Lines AB, Sweden. It is currently operated by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics.[1] It is one of the largest car carriers in the world. Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd (DSME) (Korean: 대우조선해양) is the second largest shipbuilder[1] in the world and one of the "Big Three" shipbuilders of South Korea. On 21 February 2011, the A. P. Moller-Maersk Group (Maersk) ordered 10 large container ships from DSME, each with a capacity of 18,000 containers, surpassing the current record holder; the Mærsk E-class at 15,200 containers.[2] The first is to be delivered in 2014. There is an option of 20 more.[3][4] The new class is called the Triple E class. On 22 February 2012, a £452 million order was place with DSME for four 37,000 tonne doubled hulled 'MARS' fast fleet tankers by Britain's Ministry of Defence for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. The ships will enter service in 2016.[5] Although the vessel is categorised as a Roll-on/Roll-off vessel (Ro Ro), its immensely huge proportions make the carrier ship completely dissimilar to its other existing maritime peers. Technical Specifications: Faust Car Carrier MV Faust Car Carrier measures almost 228 metres lengthwise with a width of about 33 metres The GRT of the vessel is over 71,000 tonnes with a DWT of over 30,000 tonnes The carrier ship has a draught of almost 12 metres and offers speed touching up to 21 knots MV Faust Car Carrier: Features and Characteristics MV Faust Car Carrier has been built with full and thorough compliance of the necessary maritime laws set up by the various maritime bodies. Although, the vehicle provides faster speed and greater efficiency, the constructional aspect of the vessel doesn't compromise on necessary maritime environmental protection aspects like handling of the ballast water and the water accumulated in the bilges. Similarly, the motors and engines employed are highly ecologically safe with optimum reduction in the emission of various noxious gases. For its primary consideration provided to ecological safety, one of the most reputed maritime governing authorities, Lloyd's Register, has awarded the Ro Ro carrier with the 'Green Passport' classification. One of the biggest car carrier ships, MV Faust is truly a vessel to admire at. Its developers have successfully taken an already highly viable concept and transformed its functionality to utterly newer levels. The success of MV Faust car carrier can be taken to be as an optimistic predecessor to other such ecologically viable and functionally efficient Ro Ro ships.
