Veeschepen.

Begin 60. jaren is het Duitse veeschip Athene onderweg naar Harlingen en eind 1983 richting slopers in Korea.

Voor het eerst in 11 jaar heeft Vroon weer nieuwe livestock carriers laten bouwen. De eerste van vier geplande schepen is onlangs opgeleverd:

We are pleased to announce that on Monday 23 September 2013, we have taken delivery of MV Galloway Express. Galloway Express is the first of four livestock carriers being constructed at the Cosco Shipyard in Guangdong for Vroon. The remaining three vessels are scheduled for delivery later this year and early in 2014.



These livestock carriers are “next‑generation” livestock vessels, boasting a cargo capacity of approximately 4,500 sqm and a cruising range of around 18,000 NM. They are fitted with animal-welfare facilities exceeding Australian (AMSA) regulations and incorporate a revolutionary bow design that will ensure fuel savings while maintaining high speeds and maximum comfort for cargo and crew.

Galloway Express will leave the shipyard later this week. She will operate for one of the major Australian livestock exporters under a tailor-made charter agreement.

Inmiddels heeft het schip haar maiden trip gemaakt.

Ik zag een pagina terug 2 schepen waarop ik heb gevaren.
Maar wel voordat ze waren om gebouwd tot vee vervoer

Mijn eerste schip was de Kreon waar ik in oktober 1960 mijn eerste zeereis mee ging maken.
Toen was het nog een mooi schip
later kreeg zij andere namen en tenslotte werd het Merino Express
Hier nog 2 plaatjes




mijn tweede schip werd de Ladon alwaar ik in mei 1965 aan boord stapte, werd later tenslotte Galloway Express

Heel wat kleiner als de huidige veeschepen en die hierboven in de mooie bijdrage van Ton was de Condor.

Leuk Ben. In datzelfde licht werd vorige week aangekondigd:

Vroon orders additional livestock carrier

Vroon is delighted to announce that the company has recently placed an order for a seventh newbuilding livestock carrier, to be constructed at the Cosco Shipyard in Guangdong, P.R. China.

Four of these revolutionary, newbuilding livestock carriers have already been delivered to the company and are all trading successfully. Two vessels (Gloucester Express and Greyman Express) will be delivered during 2015, with the seventh vessel scheduled for completion in 2016.

These livestock carriers are “next‑generation” livestock vessels, boasting a cargo capacity of approximately 4,500 sqm and a cruising range of around 18,000 NM. They are fitted with animal-welfare facilities exceeding Australian (AMSA) regulations and incorporate a revolutionary bow design that will ensure fuel savings while maintaining high speeds and maximum comfort for cargo and crew.

The seventh livestock carrier is already chartered to one of the major Australian livestock exporters under a tailor-made charter agreement, which will commence as soon as the vessel is delivered to Vroon.

Charolais Express, ik vroeg mij af of dit schip wel of niet onder Nederlandse vlag heeft gevaren.
