donated as a hospital ship to Friendship, a Bangladesh-based
NGO, where she will round out her days serving the
healthcare needs of impoverished communities situated
between the coast of Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal.
Constructed by German shipbuilder Fassmer, Rainbow
Wzmor IIIhas been developed primarily to utilise sail power,
in line with Greenpeace's overall philosophy of
environmental protection and slashing emissions to a
minimum. According to the yard, the A-frame design of her
55 m mast system and her hull shape were designed for
maximum fuel conservation, with the vessel achieving a
speed of 14knots when using sails only, during sea trials. The
1260m' sail surface is spread across five jibs which can be
rolled in and out automatically, courtesy of a control console
situated in the outer deck on the port and starboard side.
Like her overall superstructure, the A-fr<!ffie masts are
fashioned from aluminium and feature one-man elevators,
enabling crew to effect repairs to the masts and antennae as
and when needed. The vessel features a top fuel capacity of
110,000litres and a fresh water capacity of 32,000Iitres.
Should Rainbow Wzrrior III encounter unfavourable
weather conditions, particularly when her crew are on patrol
or engaged in action, the vessel can simply switch over to
engine-powered, diesel-electric propulsion to continue
about her business. As back-up, Fassmer has included a
diesel-electronic drive, made available over two auxiliary
diesels, each generating 383kW and feeding the onboard
electrical supply and a 330kW electric drive motor. This
latter motor is coupled with the gear over a power take-in
(PTI) system, subsequently driving the adjustable-pitch
propeller system. In tests, Greenpeace discovered that a
speed of up to lOknots could be achieved utilising the
330kW motor. Should the crew need a burst of speed,
however, the main Caterpillar engine can deliver a hearty
1425kW, granting the vessel a top speed of 15knots.
Similar environmental considerations include the
installation of an oily bilge water separator, capable of
reducing oil and grease content in discharged water to less
than 5ppm, plus the capacity to keep up to 59m3 worth of
grey water and processed black water on board in safe, 'no
discharge' areas. The vessel's underside was designed with
underwater inspections in mind, intended to cut drydocking
frequency from 2.5 to five years, thus limiting more
environmental fallout from dock-based repair jobs. Linking
the vessel's onboard conference room and press office are a
couple of satellite terminals, namely a VSAT Seatel4009 for
global data exchange, and an Inmarsat FleetBroadband 500
model, for data and voice.
This commitment to low emissions, plus the versatility of
the vessel's power options, definitely make Rainbow w"mor
III a significant vessel of the past 12 months and proof of
further steps towards the realisation of energy-efficient, fuel-
conserving vessels, without necessarily handicapping speed.
For sure, polluters may not welcome her addition to the
world's sea lanes - but we certainly do.
