Katrin S. Details |

ü visited section |
This section includes miscellaneous technical information about the Katrin S. I obtained most of this information from the many close-up photographs I took of a large “blueprint” of the ship that was posted in the “ship’s office”. The Katrin S. would probably be considered a medium-sized freighter, and is probably one of the smaller freighters that carries passengers. For comparison, the Regina Maersk, one of the largest container ships currently sailing is over twice as long, and is capable of carrying almost six times as many containers. The Katrin S. is owned and operated by Reederei Schepers, a German company that owns and operates a handful of container ships. Schepers leases its ships out, with officers and crew, to shipping companies who manage the routes and deal with end-customers. The Katrin S. was leased to the Sea-Land Corporation, which merged to form Maersk-Sealand shortly after I left the ship. Though German-owned, the Katrin S. is registered in Antigua & Barbuda. It is not at all uncommon for a ship to be registered in a country which is different from that of its owners.
