Rio Madeira is a container ship owned by A.P. Moller Singapore Pte. Ltd.[3] and operated by Maersk Line AS.[2] The 286.45-metre (939.8 ft) long ship was built at Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries[1] in Mangalia, Romania in 2009. Originally owned by Rio Madeira GmbH & Co KG, a subsidiary of Hamburg Süd,[2] she has had two owners and been registered under three flags.

The vessel is one of three ships of the Rio class built for Hamburg Süd by Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries in 2009.[9][10]The ship sometimes docks for maintenance at the Elbe 17 dry dock in Hamburg which is large enough to accommodate the vessel.

Construction[]

Rio Madeira had its keel laid down on 22 September 2008.[1] at Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries[1] in Mangalia, Romania. Its hull has an overall length of 286.45 metres (939.8 ft).[1] In terms of width, the ship has a beam of 40 metres (130 ft).[1] The height from the top of the keel to the main deck, called the moulded depth, is 24.2 metres (79 ft).[1]

The ship's container-carrying capacity of 5,905 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) (5,905 20-foot shipping containers)[7] places it in the range of a Post-Panamax container ship.[11] The ship's gross tonnage, a measure of the volume of all its enclosed spaces, is 73,899.[1] Its net tonnage, which measures the volume of the cargo spaces, is 39,673.[1] Its total carrying capacity in terms of weight, is 80,300 long tons deadweight (DWT).[1]

The vessel was built with a Doosan Engine Co. Ltd. 8RTA96C[8] main engine, which drives a controllable-pitch propeller. The 8-cylinder engine has a Maximum Continuous Rating of 45,765 kW with 102 revolutions per minute at MCR. The cylinder bore is 960mm. The ship also features 4 main power distribution system auxiliary generators, 2 at 5,428.5-kilowatt (7,279.7 hp), and 2 at 4,071.4-kilowatt (5,459.8 hp).[8] The vessel's steam piping system features an Aalborg CH 8-500 auxiliary boiler, as well as an Aalborg AQ-2 exhaust gas boiler.[8]

Construction of the ship was completed on 10 November 2009.[1]
