This model ship was commissioned by the Canpotex especially for the Museum. It represents one of the nine vessels commissioned to carry potash around the world. Canpotex requires a large transportation infrastructure-including rail and sea transport- to achieve its corporate goal of marketing and distributing Canadian-mined potash. One of the corporation's social responsibility goals is to help document and tell the story of potash and Canpotex. The company hopes to ensure that the importance of the potash industry, both nationally and internationally is recognized and understood beyond the borders and institutions of Saskatchewan. [see Ref. #1- Acquisition Proposal for the complete Historical significance] - Function
-
To accurately represent the physical form and construction of a Bulk Cargo Vessel in miniature. - Technical
-
The U-Sea Saskatchewan is a bulk cargo vessel (Supramax category) capable of carrying approximately 60,000 metric tons of potash. The Supramax category represents the larger end of the Handymax category of vessels which has a slightly smaller cargo volume than the Panamax category. Because of the moderate size of these vessels they can berth at a number of smaller ports with hull draft restrictions, making this category one of the most common currently afloat. Vessels in the Supramax category are equipped with four onboard overhead cranes which are used to unload bulk cargo at less sophisticated ports. Between the shallower draft by cargo volume and the onboard overhead cranes, vessels in the Supramax category are considered quite versatile, reaching ports not accessible to larger vessels.
