| Source measurement | — | The vessel is a full-rigged three-masted steel hull 82.4 m (270 ft) long, with an overall length of 101 m (331 ft) including the bowsprit and a maximum width of 15.5 m (51 ft). She has a draught of about 7 m (23 ft) and a displacement at full load of 4146 tons . Under auxiliary diesel-electric propulsion the Amerigo Vespucci can reach 10 knots (12 mph; 19 km/h) and has a range of 5,450 nautical miles (6,270 mi; 10,090 km) at 6.5 knots (7.5 mph; 12.0 km/h)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The three steel masts are 50 metres (160 ft), 54 metres (177 ft), and 43 metres (141 ft) high, and carry sails totaling 2,824 m 2 (30,400 sq ft). The Amerigo Vespucci has 26 sails – square sails , staysails , and jibs : all are traditional canvas sails. When under sail in severe sea and wind conditions she can reach 12 knots (14 mph; 22 km/h). The rig, some 30 kilometres (19 mi) of ropes , uses only traditional hemp ropes; only the mooring lines are synthetic, to comply with port regulations.[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In 1964, the ship was fitted with two 4-stroke, 8-cylinder FIAT B 308 ESS diesel engines, which replaced the original 2-stroke 6-cylinder FIAT Q 426 engines. These engines generated electric power for one electric propulsion motor that produced up to about 1,471 kW (1,973 hp).[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage After update works, between 2013 and 2016, the ship has been fitted with two 4-stroke, 12-cylinder MTU , 1,32 MW each diesel engine generators and two 4-stroke, 8-cylinder MTU, 760-kilowatt (1,020 hp) each diesel engine generators, and one NIDEC (Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali) electric engine. During the same work, the ship was fitted with new radar GEM Elettronica AN/SPS-753(V)5, new satellite antenna ORBIT AL-7103.[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage displacement: 6 t (5.9 long tons)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage length: 10 m (32 ft 10 in)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage beam: 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage propulsion: 2 x FPT S30 170 hp (130 kW) each[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage speed: 16 knots (30 km/h)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage range: 180 nmi (330 km; 210 mi)[source]Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci · Tender; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
