There are 11 sisterships in all.
GT have TASIK MAS as containerhsip already

Hi Clyde,

I am in the process of determining this class problem with GT.

Kind Regards
Ken

Right mumbles. And the build year shown is consistent with the Equasis data for 7712339.

If Equasis is correct about 9671890, should the category be shown as Container ships instead of General Cargo as shown in the site Technical Data?

The details are correct, this is what Miramar have, but as you can see she is classed as a container ship so I will have to get that sorted.

IDNo: 9671890
Year: 2012
Name: KANAL MAS Keel: 18.4.12
Type: Containership Launch Date: 4.9.12
Flag: IDN Date of completion: 12.11.12
Tons: 6659 Link: 4438

DWT: 8180 Yard No: BD1201
Length overall: 119.9 Ship Design:
LPP: 115.0 Country of build: CHN
Beam: 21.8 Builder: Ningbo Boda
Material of build: Location of yard: Xiangshan County

There is a photo of 7712339 already on the site. It is quite different. The above would appear to be the right photo of the right ship. And, according to the Equasis site, she IS a container ship.

For IMO 9671890 Equasis shows

IMO number : 9671890
Name of ship : KANAL MAS (since 01/11/2012)
Call Sign : POXY
MMSI : 525007163
Gross tonnage : 6659 (since 01/11/2012)
DWT : 8180
Type of ship : Container Ship (since 01/11/2012)
Year of build : 2012
Flag : Indonesia (since 01/11/2012)

BUT are you sure it is not

IMO number : 7712339
Name of ship : KANAL MAS (since 01/04/2004)
Call Sign : UNKNOWN
Gross tonnage : 11046 (since 01/01/2000)
DWT : 13993
Type of ship : General Cargo Ship (during 1978)
Year of build : 1978
Flag : Indonesia (since 01/03/2002)

I am no judge of Gross Tonnage from this distance

Is this not a container ship, and carries high volumes of boxes and the bridge is forward so the crew can see where they are going, aft they would'nt see be able to see over them

What a peculiar type of ship!
