RECIFE HISTORY
Recife has sailed length of the North Sea twice during the Northern Hemisphere winter between Norway and the U. K. Before departing on her voyage to Australia.
With an average speed of 8 knots this versatile vessel made the voyage to
Sydney comfortably without mishap which goes to prove her versatility and
mechanical soundness, having endured extreme weather conditions on passage
from the rigours of the North Sea to the high temperatures of the Red Sea.
Recife ex Kystvern ex Rundoy was built back in 1954 at Arundal Norway
under DNV Classification as a small cargo vessel for trading around the
fjords. Her strong steel hull part rivetted and part welded is a fine
example of Norwegian shipbuilding. Her history includes many years service
with the Norwegian Navy where she was employed as a Coastguard Vessel and
Training Vessel. . Because of her training background
the cargo hold was converted to a classroom and has long since carried
commercial cargo.
The passage to Sydney was 10 weeks 6.1 days (including a deviation to Las
Palmas) via the Suez Canal. Distance covered was 14,438 nautical miles.
Fuel consumption was 62,800 litres: 820.49 ltrs per day, 34.19 ltrs per
hour, 4.34 ltrs per nautical mile (calculations based on passage times not
engine running hours).
