Barzan (ship)

Barzan is an ultra large container ship and among the largest container ships in the world (as of July 2015). It is the first of a series of six 18,800 TEU container ships built by United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) in South Korea. It has carbon emissions far lower than the Maersk EEE class container ships.

Name

Barzan (Arabic: برزان‎) means "high place" in Arabic, is a name of towers used for observation and as watch towers 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.

Construction

Barzan was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Mokpo, South Korea in 2015. She has a deadweight of 199,744 tonnes, and gross tonnage of 195,636. It took the shipyard six months to build her (from steel cutting to launching).

Classed under DNV GL as the first ship ever to have the "Gas Ready" class notation, the Barzan has the lowest per container level of carbon emissions. Her EEDI is almost 50% less than the IMO limit set for 2025.
