Ship Types / Dry Freighters

Description. Motor ships of the type RHEIN (slovakian designation NL RYN, nakladna lod RYN, 'cargo ship RHEIN') are the mid-size dry cargo "river-sea" ships, which have a covered hold, with double boards and double bottom, with machine compartment and superstructure in the rear part, equiped with lifting wheel-house, with the single propeller shaft. Ships are intended basically for carrying of general cargoes, containers and timber. Ships have big sea draught and have to be partially unloaded for passing the inland waterways.

Modifications. On the base of the type's "Rhein" hull the sea-going ships of the type "Rostock" (NL ROSTOCK) were developed. They differ by the higher superstructure and two cargo cranes. In late 90-ties the modified version of the type "Rhein" was started.

Serial building. Since 1991 till 2001 about 48 units of the type "Rhein" were built.

Distribution. Ships of the type "Rhein" are intended for work on main european seas with the possibility of visiting the river ports of Russia and european countries. Ships were delivered to german shipping companies, russian Northern Sea, Northern River, North-Western, Volga shipping companies and to Ukraine and Turkmenistan. At present time all ships of this type are in service.
