Barzan is an ultra-large container ship. It is the first of a series of six 18,800 TEU container ships built in South Korea for United Arab Shipping Company (UASC). [2] As of 2015, it stood among the largest container ships in the world. [5] According to the builder, it has carbon emissions far lower than the Maersk Triple E class container ships. [2]
Barzān ( Arabic: برزان "high place"), is the name of towers used for observation in Qatar, which is a shareholding state in UASC. The towers were built more than a century ago by Sheikh Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani, founder of Umm Salal Mohammed village in Qatar.
Barzan was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Mokpo, South Korea in 2015. [6] She has a deadweight of 199,744 tonnes, and gross tonnage of 195,636. [2] It took the shipyard six months to build her (from steel cutting to launching). [7]
Classed under DNV GL as the first ship ever to have “Gas Ready” class notation, Barzan has, according to the builder, the lowest per-container level of carbon emissions. [2] Her "Energy Efficiency Design Index" is quoted as almost 50% less than the International Maritime Organization limit set for 2025. [4]
Barzan is operated by a multinational crew. [4] [8] As of August 2015, she was placed on the UASC service route of "AEC-1 Asia - Europe container service". [2] This route takes her to the ports of North China ( Qingdao), Central China ( Shanghai and Ningbo), South China ( Yantian), South East Asia ( Port Kelang and Singapore), and four North European ports ( London Gateway, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge). [2] Barzan is managed by UASC Kuwait and classed with DNV GL. [9]
