Ocean Swagman

 

The MV Ocean Swagman, a new technologically advanced, purpose-built vessel, sailed on its maiden voyage in January 2010.

The vessel has the capacity to transport 6000 cattle or 25,000 sheep, or a combination of both.

The MV Ocean Swagman is the next generation in livestock vessel design and construction with singular focus – enhanced welfare and safety of livestock, vessel and crew.

Its Dual Independent Propulsion System, comprising separate engine rooms and propellers, provides levels of redundancy, and therefore safety, rarely seen in cruise liners and never before built into livestock vessels.

The advanced ventilation system fans an average of 110 air changes per hour, four times the Australian standard and 3.5 times the number of air changes per hour on a commercial airliner.

The MV Ocean Swagman has been classified by the Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) as a ‘Green Star Vessel’, due to its low emissions and pollution prevention design and systems.
