Baltimax is a naval architecture term for the largest ship measurements capable of entering and leaving the Baltic Sea in a laden condition. It is the Great Belt route that allows the largest ships. The limit is a draft of 15.4 metres and an air draft of 65 metres (limited by the clearance of the east bridge of the Great Belt Fixed Link) . The length can be around 240 m and the width around 42 m. This gives a weight of around 100.000 metric ton. Nevertheless, there are also certain larger ship types plying the baltic sea. Particularly the so-called ''B-Max''-crude oil tanker with more than 205.000 tons deadweight (68 m width, 325 m length)〔(Stena lines up $900m BMax order )〕 and the Maersk Triple E class container ship, 400 m length and 165,000 metric tons deadweight. The Öresund allows only 8 m draft and is no alternative for large ships. The shortcut Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, allows 9,5 m draft. Furthermore many ports limit ship size. The iron ore ports of Luleå (11 m,〔(PORT OF LULEÅ, Information for Passenger Vessels )〕 to be deepened to 13 m〔(Sandöleden ska bli ännu djupare ) (Swedish)〕) and Kemi (10 m)〔(Port information Kemi )〕 and the large oil port of Klaipėda (12.5 m)〔(Astramar Group / Klaipeda Port / Restrictions / Tankers / Klaipedos Nafta )〕 have less draft than Baltimax. The largest oil port is Primorsk which has 15 m draft, similar to Baltimax.〔(Astramar Group / Primorsk Port / Restrictions / Tankers )〕 The Gdańsk container port can take the 165.000 ton 14.5 m draft ship. == See also == * Ports of the Baltic Sea 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baltimax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
