Erawan - End of an Era
In 1999, CNCo acquired the Japanese-built 64,000dwt Panamax bulk carrier Camerina – then 18 years old – and successfully tendered for the role of Ok Tedi’s “mother ship”. The bulker was duly brought up to CNCo standards and equipped with a heli-deck, three 30-ton heavy-duty,articulated grab cranes, sophisticated weighing equipment(designed to meet an extremely tight contractual accuracy of 0.5%) and special stainless steel grabs. Other equipment installed included two extra generators, a high-capacity evaporator (desalination plant), fuel transfer systems and extra accommodation, as well as upgraded mooring and coating systems. Erawan, as she now became, went on
charter in April 2000. Click here for more...

What is WikiSwire?
|
| WikiSwire is, and should always be, a work in progress. Our aim is for WikiSwire to become a regular stopping place for those who work for Swire, have worked for Swire or just have an interest in the group, its history and its operations. We want this to be a place where visitors not only find what interests them, but also a place where they can freely share new information, new stories and new images. We hope that WikiSwire will always be growing, evolving and offering something new. We hope to learn as much as we hope to inform.
We're starting this project with CNCo ships, but are aiming, eventually, to extend our reach further into the Swire world.

China Navigation Company Ships
|
| Founded in 1872 as a Yangtze River steamer company, C.N.Co. is now one of the oldest independent British shipping companies managing owned-tonnage "in-house". With the acquisition of Bank Line in 2003 C.N.Co. vessels can now be found around the world but it is, perhaps, by virtue of its earlier Far Eastern and Pacific field of operations, that the Company and its ships share an extraordinary and sometimes dramatic history.
