Kelvin Hughes to supply Spliethoff newbuilds

Spliethoff Bevrachtingskantoor`s new multi-purpose freighters will be fitted with Kelvin Hughes radar sets. The 10 ships will each feature a Nucleus2 6000 arpa split radar system with display; a Nucleus2 5000 True Motion radar with display and a HRC-A9 interswitch unit.

The multi-purpose freighters with sideport loaders will be built at three shipyards – three at MHI Shimonoseki, Japan; three at Tsuneishi, Japan and four at Szczecin, Poland. They have been designed by Spliethoff to carry paper from Finland to North America with a top speed of 20 knots and a total load capacity of 16,000 tonnes of paper or alternatively, 1,100 TEU containers.

• Kelvin Hughes is providing packs to permit customers to design their own integrated bridge. As the Ninas 9000 is a modular system, operators can create their own arrangement. When happy the layout can be sent to Kelvin Hughes for further information and pricing.
