Pela foto a rampa de baixo aguenta mais que um Leo.
A grua tinha que ser instalada, mas pelo que pesquisei não deve ser um investimento gigantesco.
o navio tem duas de 59 Tons claro que não dão para os Leo que temos, mas dão para o restante material rolante que possuímos !
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_ProtectorMain article: HMNZS Canterbury (L421)
Project Protector called for a multi-role vessel with a tactical sealift capability, which would be used throughout the South Pacific region for disaster and humanitarian relief, peace support, military support, and development assistance support.[4] The vessel would also serve as the RNZN's primary at-sea training ship after the frigate Canterbury was decommissioned.[4] A limited patrol and response capability was also desired.[4] The RNZN had previously tried to establish a sealift capability with the acquisition of HMNZS Charles Upham in the mid-1990s, but attempts to convert the former roll-on/roll-off freighter were unsuccessful, and the ship was decommissioned in 2001.[1]
The ship had to be available for 160 days at sea per year, plus another 130 days berthed but available for deployment.[4] She had to be capable of transporting a New Zealand Army heavy company and its equipment (identified in the initial proposal as 250 personnel, 315 lane metres of vehicles, and 33 TEU of equipment and stores), and be able to transfer the personnel and equipment between the ship and shore.[4] The vessel had to embark and operate one SH-2G Super Seasprite, and be fitted with aviation facilities capable of operating two Cougar-size helicopters or one Chinook-size helicopter.[4] Although the review called for the ship to be armed with a 40-to-76-millimetre (1.6 to 3.0 in) gun, the 2003 request for proposals stipulated a 25-millimetre (0.98 in) gun; this would help keep the project within the NZ$500 million budget, and provide ammunition commonality with the M242 Bushmaster fitted to the Army's LAV III infantry fighting vehicle.[4]
The multi-role vessel HMNZS Canterbury was the first ship completed under Project Protector.[2] Based on MS Ben-my-Chree, a commercial roll-on/roll-off ferry, Canterbury has a displacement of 8,000 tonnes (7,900 long tons; 8,800 short tons), a top speed of 19 knots (35 km/h; 22 mph), and a range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,000 km; 6,900 mi).[2] The vessel is capable of transporting 250 troops, up to 40 vehicles in 403 lane metres of space, 33 ISO 20-foot containers (including eight dedicated ammunition containers) and 20 NATO pallets of supplies.[2] Loading is performed wharfside through stern and side access ramps, or via two 60-tonne (59-long-ton; 66-short-ton) cranes.[2] Two 23-metre (75 ft) landing craft medium (LCM) are carried by Canterbury for situations where wharf unloading is unavailable; these can be launched and recovered via the cranes, while "marriage blocks" and "flippers" help the LCMs dock with the stern ramp.[2] One Super Seasprite and up to four NHIndustries NH90 helicopters can be hangared aboard.[3] The ship is fitted with a single 25 mm Bushmaster gun in a Typhoon mounting and two 12.7 mm machine guns for self-defence.[3] Canterbury's hull is strengthened to Finnish-Swedish ice class 1C, allowing her to operate in the Ross Dependency.[3]
The ship was built by the Merwede Shipyard in Rotterdam, with steel cutting starting on 15 April 2005.[3] It was launched in February 2006, and commenced sea trials in July.[2] Handover to Tenix was expected to occur in August; the vessel would then sail to the Tenix shipyard at Williamstown, Victoria, Australia for fitting of military equipment.[2] It was originally planned to have Canterbury commissioned into the RNZN during January 2007, but delays meant that the ship did not enter service until June 2007.[2][6] Problems were encountered early in the ship's career, relating primarily to the RHIB alcove docks, which were in a position to be easily swamped, with resulting damage to the boats themselves.[9] Seakeeping ability was also an issue.[9] Most of the problems stemmed from the ship's parent design-a short, fat civilian ferry designed to operate in the calm Irish Sea, not on military deployments in deep ocean-and the failure of Tenix and the RNZN to address this during design and construction.[9] A remedial program was initiated in 2008.[9
Se este navio não é mais que suficiente para os meios que temos então não sei o que queremos !!
ATTN que o projecto Protector, por 500$ milhões NZ, englobava o NPL, dois NPO's e quatro LFC, portanto sete navios !!!
