Turkish group Nakka\u015f Shipping & Trading Co has confirmed that a decade of tanker-focused work with Berg Propulsion <\/a>will see the delivery of its tenth Berg system in 2026.<\/p>\n Nakka\u015f took its specification of Berg systems into double figures after ordering its latest 5,700 dwt tanker from Turkey\u2019s Gisan Shipyard. The 99.99 x 16.6 meters breadth vessel will be built to the same Navis Design & Engineering<\/a> lay-out as nine predecessors, which Nakka\u015f has ordered from multiple yards. In all cases, the main propulsion system, propeller and thrusters came from Berg.<\/p>\n \u201cThese ships have proved remarkably flexible in serving a range of operational needs on a variety of routes, due to their strong design and high performance systems,\u201d said Emir Basak, partner, Nakka\u015f Shipping. \u201cBerg has been our propulsion systems partner from the outset.\u201d<\/p>\n Featuring a 1920 kW@750rpm main engine, the tenth ship in the series will operate at speeds of 11.5 knots. Berg\u2019s scope of supply will include the Berg MPP850 main propulsion system, a 4000 mm diameter propeller and one variable frequency drive MTT111FP tunnel thruster.<\/p>\n \u201cTaking this series into double figures is a milestone for the trust placed in us by Nakka\u015f and a strong endorsement of Berg\u2019s proven main offering from an ambitious shipping group,\u201d said Taner G\u00fcndo\u011fdu, sales manager, Berg Propulsion Eurasia. \u201cWe worked closely with Nakka\u015f and Navis on optimizing the first in the series and it has been truly rewarding to see Berg chosen time and again.\u201d<\/p>\n With the ninth ship in the series set for delivery in 2025, Berg will deliver equipment for the tenth ship from its manufacturing facility in H\u00f6n\u00f6, Sweden, to the Gisan yard in Istanbul by February 2026. The latest order for Berg Eurasia continues Turkey\u2019s strong contribution to Berg\u2019s overall growth, based on its expertise and longstanding relationships with owners, yards and designers. The Istanbul operation has secured substantial commercial ship, tug and naval orders, and offers contract engineering services while also taking regional responsibility for retrofits in the Middle East.<\/p>\n The post Berg Propulsion books tenth Nakka\u015f Shipping tanker contract<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
