I photographed Veerseborg on the 15 August 2013 as she was being loaded with scrap metal at the Norton facility on Liverpool Docks. The ship owes its name to the small River Veerse, which flows into the River Wuemme near Rotenburg in Northern Germany.
She is owned by Reederei Frank Dahl which was established in 1973 and was built in 1998 by Bodewes Volharding at their Foxhol yard in the Netherlands as Yard Number 345. She has an overall length of 132.2m, beam of 15.87m and a maximum draft of 7.05m. Gross Tonnage is 6130.
Typical crew is noted as being 9 personnel.
She has two holds (total hold capacily 454,000 cubic feet) with a double skin strength hull for heavy cargo such as the metals she was loading when I saw her, she is also equipped for transporting containers (264TEU in the hold with an additional 264TEU on deck).
Main Engine consists of a Wärtsila 6L38 ( 1x 3960 kw) diesel engine driving a 4.2m diameter four bladed single pitch propeller. This gives her a service speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 15 knots. Fuel consumption is noted as being 14.2 m3 / day at 14 Knots rising to 16.0 m3 / day at 15 Knots
