We were asked to build a model of this innovative ship. Our model is completely hand-made. In this particular case, none of the parts are 3D-printed. The model is in 1:150 scale.
Here are a few details from the Canada Steamship Lines website:
“MV Nukumi is the first diesel-electric Laker and the first single point loader to operate in Canada.
Several innovations are built into MV Nukumi’s design to reduce its overall environmental footprint. These include diesel-electric tier 3 engines, a ballast water treatment system, a waste heat recovery system, and overall quieter machinery.
A fixed, single point of loading system with a single hopper, and a cargo-handling system that eliminates the need for shifting during loading, improves the safety and efficiency of cargo operations.
A modern hull design and state-of-the-art propulsion system enhance the manoeuvrability of the vessel and increase the safety of navigation in shallow waterways.
MV Nukumi is wholly owned and operated by CSL.”
Yup, that's me in front of the Gaspé, in Quebec
