Description:
Safmarine - Refrigerated motor ships (Dutch Built)
One of three refrigerated motor ships “S.A. Langkloof “, “S.A. Zebediela”, and “S.A.Hexrivier” were built for the export of frozen fruit from South Africa to the UK and Europe. They were built in Dutch yards and entered service in early to the mid-1960s. This class of ships were the first to be powered by diesel engines, fitted with an eight cylinder M.A.N K8Z70/120 low speed two stroke diesel engine developing approx. 9,600 BHP and a speed of 17 knots. For electrical power four MAN diesel engines drove AC alternators.
