FANEOS and STURMVOGEL

Post by shipstamps » Thu Jan 01, 2009 3:02 pm


The ship on this stamp of East Germany is one of a series ships built by the Warnowwerft at Warnemunde, which ship is depict on the stamp is unclear, but it must be one of the Monsun type which mostly were built for the export market. A photo of the RADEBEUL one of the later ships of this type, looks exact the same as the design on the stamp.
The stamp was issued in 1979 and the first ship of this type was the FANOES built in 1979; the second was the FILON built in 1980. From my point of view the vessel depicts on the stamp can only be the FANEOS, she was built in 1979, the same year the stamp was issued.

Built as an all purpose general cargo vessel under yard no. 241 by the Warnowerft at Warnemünde, East Germany, for Faneos Shipping Corporation S.A., Greece (I believe a Russian company).
Tonnage 11.730 gross, 7.294 net, 17.240 dwt., dim. 158.3 x 23.1 x 13.4m., draught 10.2m., length between p.p. 146.0m..
Powered by an eight cylinder DMR/MAN diesel, 11.200 bhp., speed 17 knots.
Two decks, five holds. Can carry 523 TEU's 342 in holds and 181 on deck.
Four 35 ton crane/derricks, 1 x 125 ton, 4 x 5-10 ton derricks. Four holds and hatches.

1997 Sold by Blasco Ukraine, to Waltham Maritime Inc., Bahamas, renamed HAMILTON.
