Kalli G can sail at over ten knots carrying full cargo load, with less installed propulsion power.
Optimised design of the hull reduces water resistance and enables substantial fuel savings.
The 89.70 meter length over all, 12.50 meter beam vessel has a 1104 kW main engine.
The relatively small power source is enough to maintain her 11.8 knot design speed even in rough conditions.
The vessel carries 3830 tonnes of load. Cargo hold tanktop strength is reinforced to carry 15 tonnes per square meter. The CF 3850 takes 172 containers: 108 in the hold and 64 on deck. ■
