SIGNIFICANT SHIPS S

O, the year 2008 has passed – and few will be sorry about that! Thankfully, the lead-time for delivering modern ships, from contract to completion (even though much reduced from days gone by) is still long enough to have ensured that much of the doom and gloom, talk of credit crunches, banking problems and recessions, which have assailed us for most of the year, has generally passed over Significant Ships’ editorial pages. We must now await 2009, and subsequent years, to see what effect today’s troubles might have on shipbuilding. Will our view, expressed somewhat tongue in cheek in the 2007 introduction, that the massive order books being put together by many of the world’s shipbuilders would at least provide plenty of material to fill the pages of Significant Ships, long into the future, still hold good, or will the industry be faced with huge order cancellations, as has happened in previous difficult times? Preliminary glimpses of this possibility are already being witnessed. Whilst pondering that question, let us examine the interesting deliveries from today’s shipbuilders included in Significant Ships of 2008. For once we did not review the ‘largest container ship in the world’, but only because the delivery date meant that technical information for Samsung’s MSC Daniela did not arrive in time for inclusion! This giant is understood to have an intake of 13,800TEU, but more intriguing perhaps, is the fact that the builder has broken with current practice by separating the main superstructure (now placed well forward), from the machinery room and funnel, still located aft of midships. No doubt more details of this behemoth will appear in 2009, but will this regular ‘leapfrogging’ in size by major operators continue much beyond the ships now under construction? Already we read of the Grand Alliance (HapagLloyd, NYK, OOCL and MISC) dropping a ship on an ad-hoc basis from their regular schedules, and leaving it idle for a voyage, and of other operators returning chartered tonnage (that staple of many a Significant Ships edition) to their owners. Significant Ships of 2008

SS08 - p3.indd 3

Year 2008 still did bring its share of giants. The largest ever ore carrier, Brasil Maru, yes, completed in 2007, but not entering service until the first days of 2008 – is included, along with the biggest container ship yet built in Taiwan. The largest ships ever built by individual yards also find a place, whilst those sometimes baffling terms used to identify the largest ships able to navigate waterways such as the Suez and Panama Canals, are now joined by other marques: ‘Japanamax’ and ‘Manamax’, describing bulkers of maximum dimensions to berth at Japanese grain terminals. Concerns for the environment are evident from the many new items included in specifications, with more vessels employing engines capable of running on low-sulphur fuels, and incorporating separate tanks to hold these. Installations for exhaust scrubbing, and arrangements for changing water ballast without introducing undesirable organisms have also been observed more frequently. The trio of Q-flex LNG tankers that were presented in last year's Significant Ships has been followed this year by the delivery of the first of their even larger Q-max cousins. Nevertheless, that news must be tempered by reports that 11 ships of the earlier design are already idle, with others running on the spotmarket, rather than serving the QatarGas 2 project for which they were ordered. These problems are not necessarily linked to current economic difficulties, but rather to delays in completing the Qatar terminal, which, it is predicted, could involve a down-turn in the LNG market extending until 2013. On that disappointing note, I reach the last paragraph of this Significant Ships introduction. This is regularly devoted to thanking everyone who has helped in the production of the latest review. Particular disappointment is felt at this point this year because, for differing, private reasons, the editor and I have found it necessary to retire from involvement with the publication. It is 19 years since we came together, on behalf

of

2008

of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, to re-introduce the annual reviews of new ships, which had previously been published by much respected technical shipping journals of the day, for more than a century. We trust we have succeeded in our efforts, and look forward to its appearance continuing under our successors for many years to come. With many thanks to everyone who has assisted with the production, not only of Significant Ships of 2008, but of all 19 issues, and to our readers for their support. John Lingwood, MRINA Sunderland January 2009 Notes In the tables which form part of each ship description, all dimensions, also deadweight and displacement tonnages, are metric unless otherwise stated. Machinery powers have been specified as ‘bhp’ or ‘kW’ in accordance with information received from the shipbuilder or owner. Emergency alternators are not normally included in the number of alternators. When a dash (-) has been included against an item, this generally denotes lack of information but where it is known that features have not been included, this is indicated by ‘nil’. The number of sister ships completed or on order does not include the ship presented. Some ships shown as ‘on order’ may have been delivered by the time this publication appears.

and returned to the cargo tanks, with the bonus that there is no loss of cargo during a voyage. Should the reliquefaction plant fail for any reason, a gas combustion unit takes over. Al Ghuwairiya’s electrical supply is derived from four 4300kW Hyundai alternators with STX-MAN diesel prime movers, and steam requirements are served from two vertical water tube boilers each with an output of 10,000kg/h. Cargo is carried in five tanks fitted within a double skin hull incorporating top and bottom wing tanks, and extending above the main deck to form a trunk. GTT NO96 membrane containment technology (different from the GTT Mk III technique used at other Korean yards) is used, suitable for transportation temperatures of -163ºC. Discharge is effected by 10 Shinko 1500m³/h centrifugal, submerged pumps, with loading accomplished by shore facilities.

Ships of 2007 introduced readers to the massive investment in new tonnage planned to SmeetIGNIFICANT the demand for liquefied natural gas produced by

the Qatargas 2 project, and described the two similar LNG tanker designs then building in three Korean shipyards, Daewoo, Samsung and Hyundai, as part of an initial 45-ship order. A total of 31 of these, designated the so-called Q-flex type, were of either 210,000m³ or 216,000m³ capacity, with the remaining 14 to be of the larger Q-max class, capable of loading a cargo of approximately 266,000m³. The largest LNG carriers yet built, this second group is now entering service, with Al Ghuwairiya completing in October at DSME, and Mozah delivered a month earlier by Samsung, and described elsewhere in this review. Both the Q-flex and Q-max types have introduced a number of innovative features to LNG carrier design. Perhaps the most significant of these is replacement of the steam turbine propulsion plant traditionally fitted to these vessels, by twin, low-speed diesel engines burning heavy fuel exclusively, with ship size dictating the fitting of 7-cylinder MAN B&W S70ME-C units to the Q-max vessels, instead of the 6-cylinder versions specified for the Q-flex design. The Doosan Engine Co. Ltd, has supplied the machinery fitted in Al Ghuwairiya, and each delivers a derated output of 19,270kW at 87rev/min, and is directly coupled to a fixed-pitch propeller which can be disconnected by a clutch into a freewheel mode. Daewoo claims that the propulsive efficiency of its vessels has been increased by enclosing the port and starboard propeller shafts in skegs, and at 85% full power and allowing a 21% sea margin, a service speed of 19.5knots – the traditional speed for LNG carriers – is attained. A normal by-product of LNG transportation is the boil-off gas generated by the cargo during a voyage. With turbine propulsion this is normally burnt in the boilers as fuel, but with this facility unavailable in ships using diesel propulsion, the gas must either be vented to the atmosphere – to the detriment of the environment – or, as is the case both Qatargas 2 designs, re-liquefied

ANJIN’S new subsidiary shipyard in the Philippines (located on the site of the former US Navy Base at Subic Bay) took the first step towards repaying its owner’s massive US$1.7billion investment on 2 July, when the 4360TEU capacity container ship Argolikos was delivered. Originally ordered by CMA-CGM, the vessel was acquired by Dioryx as part of a sale-and-lease back deal involving six vessels, with the full order due for completion in 2009. The new yard is targeted to become the fourth largest in the world by 2012, by which time it is expected to be delivering up to 50 ships a year, with more than 40 orders already in hand. This new series of a popular-sized container ship is built to Panamax proportions, and follows the now conventional design, laid out with machinery space three-quarters aft, and six cargo holds arranged within a double skin hull. Unusually, a set of fin stabilisers is included in the hull. Accommodation for 25 officers and crew is provided in a tall, slim deckhouse built above the engineroom, with their lifesaving requirements served by two totally enclosed lifeboats. MacGregor lift-away pontoon covers, built in the shipyard, are fitted to the hatches, their design capable of supporting 2754TEU, loaded in 13 rows, and a maximum seven tiers high. The remainder of the 4360 full TEU capacity is carried in the holds, seven tiers high and 11 rows wide. Electrical sockets for 326 refrigerated containers are fitted on deck. Calculated to IMO stability standards, up to 2771TEU loaded to a maximum 14tonnes, can be taken onboard. The main engine is a MAN B&W 8K90MC-C unit, built by the Doosan Engine Co, and developing 36,560kW at 102rev/min. When operating at the NCR output, and allowing a 15% sea margin, a service speed of 24.6knots is achieved at the design draught. Electrical demands are met by three 1950kW alternators, with both prime movers and electrical parts supplied by Hyundai. Steam requirements are served from an

Aalborg smoke tube boiler producing 3500kg/h. Manoeuvring the vessel is enhanced by the fitting a Kawasaki 1600kW thruster at the bow. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

RIGINALLY ordered from Aker Yards (today STX Europe) as a freight-ferry sister to Cotentin (Significant Ships of 2007), Armorique resulted from a contract quickly changed to create a full ro-pax design for Brittany Ferries to satisfy the company’s more urgent requirement for a vessel to operate on its Plymouth-Roscoff service. The conversion was facilitated by retaining the basis hull of Cotentin, but modifying and restyling the spaces above deck 5. A new profile is now presented, with decks 7 to 10 extended right aft, to provide accommodation for 1500 passengers, 780 of whom can be carried as ‘overnight’ travellers using 248 cabins, including some suites. Once onboard, passengers have the use of a cinema, and a variety of bars, lounges and restaurants, with dedicated areas arranged for teenagers. A large shopping area is also provided and reclining seats are available for day passengers. Vehicles are carried on three fixed decks offering a total of 1100 lane metres, equating to a total of 500 cars or some 60 trucks and, with a fast turnaround in port a requirement, two-level access is provided at both bow and stern. MacGregor supplied the access equipment, which includes a bow door and door ramp, a stern door/ramp, a ramp cover for the lower hold fixed ramp and a tilting ramp between decks 3 and 5. The machinery installation follows closely that of Cotentin and uses the same MaK 12VM43C main engines, manufactured by Caterpillar Motoren GmbH, the organisation now controlling MaK, following its acquisition by the Caterpillar Group. The two engines fitted in the three-quarter aft machinery space each develop 12,000kW, and are coupled to twin CP propellers through Flender gearboxes which reduce engine speed to 153rev/min. When running at 85% MCR, a service speed of 23knots is attained. Alternator capacity has been increased above that for Cotentin and consists of a Leroy Somer 2800kW alternator driven from a PTO on each gearbox, and three Wärtsilä/A van Kaick 1152kW diesel-driven sets. Environmental issues have been paramount in the

development of the design of both Cotentin and Armorique, with particular attention paid to CO emissions. Two bow thrusters and one stern unit, supplied by Wärtsilä Lips, are installed, the former producing 1200kW each, and the stern unit 900kW. Passenger comfort is a particular consideration, and a pair of fin stabilisers is fitted; heeling tanks are also included for stability control during cargo handling. Lifesaving equipment supplied includes four RDF MES installations with vertical chutes: two arranged for 430 persons each and two of 321 person capacity. Four 150 person Umoe Schat-Harding lifeboats are also carried. 2

LTHOUGH current shipping industry opinion seems to be that double-hull bulk carriers should be the future norm, there are builders (and, of course, owners) who consider that there is still a place in the market for well built, and well maintained, single-hull designs of this ship type. Oshima Shipbuilding, whose shipyard is located near Nagasaki on the Japanese island of Kyushu, is one such company, and Azur (whose delivery last year occurred just too late to allow its inclusion in Significant Ships of 2007) is a product of this philosophy. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that Oshima was also, in the early 1990s, a pioneer of several own-design bulk carriers built with double skins, such as the Handysize Top Sugar, presented in 1998, and the so-called Cho-Panamax type, Top leader, of 1999. Azur demonstrates a new design, based on Oshima's regular 77,000dwt Panamax type, but omitting the obligatory bulbous bow, in favour of the builder's Seaworthy Bow. This features an almost straight stem and a fuller forebody, which, by also eliminating top and bottom wing tanks in Nos 1 and 7 holds, has resulted in an increased grain cargo capacity. The new bow form has extended the length between perpendiculars by some 2m whilst retaining a Panama Canal maximum overall dimension of 225m. Since this is also the overall length limitation at most major Japanese grain terminals, a new descriptive term 'Japanamax', has been coined for what is now marketed as an 82K (maximum) deadweight bulker. Technically, the new hull form is said to have increased propulsive performance, reducing required power by around 5% compared with the builder's earlier design. Other performance enhancing features included in this new series are a Schilling design high-lift rudder operated by a rotary vane steering gear, which improves Significant Ships of 2008

SS08 - p15+16.indd 15

manoeuvrability and course keeping, and the installation of a set of 'Flipper Fins', a simple structure attached to the hull. Azur is configured as a single deck vessel with seven holds, closed by Tsuji side-rolling covers. As noted above, top and bottom wing tanks are fitted in all holds except numbers 1 and 7, and these are arranged to carry water ballast, the bottom wings being joined to centrally divided double bottom tanks. No 4 hold serves as a floodable hold and, along with Nos 2 and 6 compartments, may be left empty when loaded. The main engine is of MAN B&W 5S60MC-C design, manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. This develops 10,959kW MCR at 102rev/min, and 8767kW at 94.7rev/min (80% full power). At this rating a directly coupled fixed pitch propeller gives a service speed of 14.50knots. Electrical power is drawn from three Daihatsu/Nishishiba 400kW diesel alternator sets, and a vertical composite boiler satisfies steam requirements. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

BRASIL MARU: a very large ore carrier from Mitsui Shipbuilder:......................Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co Ltd (Chiba yard), Japan Vessel's name:.................................

LTHOUGH Brasil Maru's completion at Mitsui's Chiba shipyard in December 2007 came just too late for that year's Significant Ships, the vessel's inclusion in this new edition can be justified not only by the ship's huge size but by the fact that her entry into service came this year, when she took her place in an operating company within the extensive MOL (Mitsui OSK Lines) fleet, as the 'largest ore carrier in the world'. This credit is now shared with 2008-built sister Tubarao Maru: the names selected for the two vessels indicate their long term charter commitment to transport ore from Brazil to steelworks operated by Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation. The single decked hull has a forecastle and a double skin formed of wide side tanks, designated for use as water ballast tanks, and arranged, in similar fashion to the transverse bulkheads, with the bottom section forming hopper sides for easy handling of cargo at tanktop level. The five holds are accessed through nine hatches closed by MacGregor side-rolling, single-panel covers. Clear openings are 24.50m x 16.20m for No 1 hatch, and 19.60m x 16.20m for the remainder. In accordance with ClassNK rules, the forward cover can sustain a vertical sea load rating of 76.68kN/m² and No 2F, a rating of 40kN/m². For the remainder, the rating is 34.3kN/m², and the horizontal sea load rating for all covers is 175kN/m². Each cover panel is operated by a hydraulically driven rack-and-pinion mechanism, with lifting into the rolling position accomplished by a 'roll-up-roll' device which also releases the cleats. These are automatically closed and kept watertight when the covers are in position. Sealing between the cover and the coaming is

effected by MacGregor's FlexSeal-type rubber packing; this is fitted to the panel and tightens against a stainless steel compression bar on top of the coaming. When in the open position, the covers are stowed alternately P&S, hatch by hatch. In collaboration with Nippon Steel, Mitsui has included a higher reliability for the hull structure by adopting so-called UIT (an enhancement of fatigue strength by ultrasonic processing), for those major parts of the ship structure requiring high strength: this is understood to be the first application of this process to the shipbuilding industry. Brasil Maru is powered by a Mitsui-built MAN B&W 7S80MC-C (Mk7) main engine. This develops 23,640kW at 66rev/min and is designed to satisfy IMO exhaust gas standards. An electronically controlled cylinder oil supply system is fitted, and an overall fuel saving is achieved by a combination of a hull form giving high propulsive performance, a propeller fitted with a Mitsui Integrated Propeller Boss (MIPB) and a (twisted) reaction rudder. Service speed is 15knots. Electrical power is derived from three Daihatsu/ Nishishiba 720kW diesel-alternators, and steam is produced in a 2000kg/h oil fired boiler and a similar sized exhaust gas unit. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

CITY OF HAMBURG: extra tonnage to service the Airbus concept Shipbuilder:.....Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd, Singapore Vessel's name:..........................City of Hamburg Hull number:.............................................BO 615 IMO number:........................................... 9383558 Owner/operator:.......... Seaplane Two SAS (joint venture of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs SAS, France, and Höegh Autoliners, Norway) Designer:..............................Deltamarin, Finland Model test establishment used:...............MARIN, The Netherlands Flag: ....................International French Register Total number of sister ships already completed:......................................... Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:..................... 1 (Ciudad de Cadiz) HE European Airbus concept uses aircraft T constructors based in Germany, Spain, France and Britain, to manufacture major components which, on

completion, are transported by land, sea and air to Toulouse in southern France, Mobile (USA) and Tianjin (China), for final assembly into the consortium's various airliner designs. A fleet of specialist cargo vessels has been commissioned to service the sea-going legs of this operation, together with small, special craft built to act as feeders on inland waterway sections of the route, and to carry wing modules (the British contribution to the project) from a factory in North Wales to a loading berth nearby on the River Dee. City of Hamburg, and a sister ship due in 2009, will join the larger, but similar Ville de Bordeaux (Significant Ships of 2004) on the longer routes, and will also be available for general charter work when not employed by Airbus. The arrangement features a hull topped by a full-length superstructure incorporating an accommodation deck with wheelhouse right forward. Seven car decks are provided, four of which are fixed, and three partially moveable and consisting of separate panels. Total lane-length available is around 4334m, capable of stowing 688 cars or 30 freight units. Cargo is loaded at main deck level over a stern ramp and door having a clear opening of 14.75m. Internal movement between decks is accomplished using fixed and hoistable ramps, supplied as part of a total cargo access package designed by TTS. Heavy cargoes, including components for the latest A380 airbus, are normally carried on the main deck where a clear, unobstructed space, 80m long by 11m high and 9m wide is available. To suit the loading of aircraft sections, special features have been included in the design such as two 50tonne capacity stern mooring cylinders, cargo space environmental controls and lashing arrangements. A Consilium fire detection plant is fitted, whilst Danfoss Semco, and Novenco respectively, have supplied CO and drenching fire extinguishing systems for the cargo spaces and engineroom. 2

The latter compartment is located right aft below the main deck, with exhaust from twin MAN 8L32/40 main engines and auxiliaries led to a single port-side funnel. Each engine develops 4000kW and drives a CP propeller through a Flender GNBK 630 gearbox fitted with a PTO connection to a Leroy Somer 1000kW alternator. Two MAN/Hyundai 1200kW diesel-driven alternator sets are also provided. A 1000kW thermal oil fired heater, and two 550kW exhaust gas boilers satisfy heating requirements. City of Hamburg is designed to maintain a service speed of 15knots in all weathers likely to be experienced in its operating areas, with sailing conditions enhanced by a Mitsubishi fin stabiliser system. Rolls-Royce Marine supplied the two 750kW bow thrusters, also two high lift, flap rudders installed behind the propellers. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

CLIPPER POINT: Huelva’s new ferry for Northern Ireland link Shipbuilder:.....Astilleros de Huelva SA, Spain Vessel’s name:.............................. Clipper Point Hull number:..................................................820 IMO number:......................................................Owner/operator:........Seatruck Ferries Ltd, UK /Clipper Group Ltd, Bahamas Designer:.................Knud E Hansen, Denmark Flag: .......................................................

C

LIPPER Point is the first in a series of four ro-ro ferries ordered from the Huelva Shipyard in southern Spain, by British operator Seatruck, for its Heysham (UK) to Warrenpoint (Northern Ireland) link. The remaining three vessels are building at the Sevilla Shipyard, in which Huelva has an 80% shareholding, and were also scheduled to enter service during 2008, although not necessarily on the same route. By sailing at 22knots, it is expected that Clipper Point will cut voyage time in the often arduous weather conditions experienced in the Irish Sea, from nine hours with existing tonnage, to six-and-a-half hours. In addition, it is understood that if two vessels from this new series were to operate together, they would double trailer intake compared with the totals achieved by the ships currently running on the service, to around 130,000 annually. The design follows the now popular ferry layout by having a main hull topped by a deckhouse forward, which provides accommodation for a crew of 23 and 12 passengers. The machinery space is right aft with exhausts led to a narrow funnel built into the ship’s port side, with a narrow bridge which straddles the open vehicle deck (No 5). Principal cargo will be containers, trailers and MAFI trailers, carried on the tanktop (deck 1) and numbers 3 and 5 decks. Dangerous goods in package form, conforming to most IMDG codes, can be loaded throughout the cargo space. Vehicle access is over the stern at deck 3 through two watertight doors which also serve as ramps. The port side entry connects with a fixed ramp taking traffic direct to deck 5, with the starboard side accessing No 3

deck and, via another fixed ramp, serving the tanktop. This ramp is capable of closure by a side hinged, hydraulically operated, flush fitting cover. All the internal ramps are of open-web construction, with the main access door/ramps wire operated using winches positioned aft on deck 5. Flap extensions are fitted to both ramps to match with the loading facilities at the two terminals. Trailer clear height is 4.8m, and vehicle lanes approximately 3m wide provide a total available lane length of 1800m. A feature of the ramp/doors is the fitting of icebreaking devices. Flush ‘elephant-foot’ lashing pots are fitted into the decks to secure the trailers, and deck 5 is also provided with flush stacking sockets to suit 20ft and 40ft containers, as well as having arrangements for twistlocks. The machinery installation is based on two Wärtsilä 8L46 medium speed engines, each developing 9240kW at 500rev/min. Wärtsilä also supplied two reduction gearboxes fitted with power take-offs for a pair of 1500kW/1800rev/min alternators, and the two controllable pitch propellers. Two 645kW diesel-driven alternator sets (supplied by the same manufacturer) are also installed, but in a separate machinery room, alongside an emergency unit. An oil fired thermal oil boiler satisfies heating requirements. Also supplied by Wärtsilä are two 1000kW bow thrusters, capable of operating simultaneously and continuously for one hour at 80% (2 x 800kW) full load. Two flap-type rudders are installed behind the propellers, and either side of a central skeg. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA), Germany Flag: .................................................... Germany Total number of sister ships already completed:................................Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................3 EPORTS that Daewoo is currently involved in negotiations regarding future investment in its R business do not seem to have affected the flow of

shipowners anxious to place orders with the world’s No 3 shipbuilder, as evidenced by a recent new 16-ship contract from Danish owner, AP Møller-Maersk. The ships in question are sixteen 7450TEU container liners. It was, of course, this Danish company which, moved the ‘box-ship’ into a new league in 2006 by taking delivery from its own Odense Shipyard, of ‘the world’s largest’ vessel of the type yet built (Emma Maersk – Significant Ships of 2006). Other builders have since put forward their own ideas for mammoth container carriers, and now Daewoo has entered the fray, with a design offering stowage for only slightly fewer TEU than Emma Maersk. As is so often the case with container ships of all sizes, the slightly smaller CMA CGM Vela has been built for a German owner specialising in the charter market, and in this case it is Conti, which has placed the ship with leading operator CMA CGM. Although Emma Maersk did flout convention by presenting an unusual profile, with a superstructure positioned above a machinery room located about midships, this Daewoo design is more conventional, favouring the three-quarter aft layout, with eight of the 10 holds forward of the deckhouse and two aft. No exaggerated fore end bulwark lines either, just a simple single deck arrangement without forecastle and cargo holds located within a double hull to accommodate 21 bays of 40ft containers. Fixed-type cell guides are fitted, and closure is by means of MacGregor nonweathertight, lift away pontoon hatch covers. Total complement is 10,960TEU, and 700 reefer plugs are provided as well as an air-cooled hold refrigeration system. It is also possible to load 45ft containers above the third tier on deck, and the number of TEU which can be carried, when loaded to the IMO statutory 14tonnes, is 7890 on the scantling draught of 15.50m. Doosan Engine Co (whose parent group is one of the companies reported to be a possible future investor in Daewoo) supplied the main engine, a MAN B&W 12K98ME-C7 unit developing 72,240kW at 104rev/

min. In service, 90% of this rating is applied to drive the 8900mm diameter FP propeller, to produce a speed of 25.1knots. Four Daihatsu/Hyundai diesel alternator sets are installed, each of which has an output of 3000kW. An interesting inclusion, but one which is becoming increasingly common with the arrival of sulphur emission control areas, is a separate bunker tank to carry low-sulphur fuel. Steam generation is by means of a 6000kg/h Aalborg Mission type vertical boiler. A 3000kW Kawasaki thruster is fitted at the bow, and the rudder is of the full spade type. Heel compensation while handling cargo is provided by a Hoppe system using an independent pump. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

N

ORWEGIAN operator Color Line's plans to extend its traditional ferry services by introducing a fast ro-pax service across the Skagerrak, are centred upon two vessels built at the Rauma site of Aker Yards (today STX Europe). Lead ship Color Superspeed I operates the three and a quarter hour link between the Norwegian port of Kristiansand and Hirtshals, Denmark, with the second vessel deployed to the slightly longer Larvik-Hirtshals route. To meet these schedules, a machinery installation, designed by Elomatic Marine Engineering to meet DNV limits for noise and vibration and comprised of four Wärtsilä 9L46 main engines each developing 9600kW, has been specified. The drive to the twin Rolls-Royce Kamewa CP propellers is through a pair of Flender twin input/single output gearboxes for a service speed of 27knots. Electrical requirements are handled by four Wärtsilä/A van Kaick alternator sets; and two 2400kW bow thrusters, and one 1200kW stern thruster, are fitted to aid manoeuvring during the short turnrounds. A condition based maintenance (CBM) system has been supplied by Wärtsilä for the main and auxiliary engines; this monitors engine condition, analyses trends and diagnoses faults. Vehicle access to the two fixed and one hoistable vehicle decks is at deck 3, using bow and stern ramp/doors. Also included in the MacGregor access package is a tiltable ramp linking 3 and 5 decks, a front door in the superstructure, and a liftable bulwark visor. Freight space is available on 2030 lane metres 3m wide, and 1035 lane metres 2.4m wide car lanes are also provided on the hoistable platforms. A port turn-round time of 45minutes is envisaged, including handling of 1928 passengers, entering at No 7 deck. Although primarily designed as a day ferry, Color SuperSpeed I is fitted with cabins for 54 lorry drivers, in addition to those for 71 crew members. Passenger spaces are arranged over three of the 11 decks, with amenities on offer including a bar lounge, boutique, reception foyer, children's playroom, tax free shop, seating

lounges and a self service restaurant. A business lounge is located on deck 8 where the main restaurants are situated. Deck 9 provides Voyager class seating accommodation and is also the location of the cabins, all of which were prefabricated by Aker Yards Cabins. Lifesaving equipment includes four lifeboats supplied by Umoe Schat-Harding, and four Viking type Vee 2.4 marine escape systems, each of which can handle 202 persons. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

I

N 1978 German operator Condock introduced a new concept of heavy-lift transportation using a fleet of semisubmersible vessels. These featured a facility to float cargo on board into a dock-like hold, through a stern door. With the superstructure right forward, and a facility to sail without hatchcovers, tall structures could easily be carried, whilst a stern ramp allowed ro-ro access, and heavy lift cranes served container and project cargoes. Condock still trades under its original name, operating alongside a new, sister company Combi Lift Shipping, but with control in the hands of a German/Danish set-up, managed by Harren & Partner, since 2007. The four Lloyd Werft newbuildings under review follow the design of the original Condock vessels and feature a cargo hold/dock 132m long, 18m wide and 9.40m high between tanktop and underside of the upper deck hatchcovers, which can be subdivided into three compartments. Because the vessel is classed to sail with the stern ramp/door open, cargoes longer than the cargo-space dimensions can be carried. Steel pontoon covers close the upper deck access, with similar covers designed to also form a second deck which can be located at varying heights in the hold. The box-shaped space is surrounded by side ballast tanks, which, on the port side include the supporting structures for three Liebherr electric-hydraulic heavy-lift cranes, two of 350/200tonnes swl at 18/31m outreach, which when working in tandem, give lifts of 700tonnes, and one of 200/80tonnes capacity at 14/31m. The cargo hold is fitted for dangerous cargoes of SOLAS-II-2 Regulation 19 standard, and is fitted with smoke detectors, CO2 systems and sprinklers. It is also pre-prepared for the installation of a moonpool, for use during offshore projects. The stern ramp and door offer a clear opening of 12m x 18m, with loadings of 700tonne, and deck loadings are16tonnes/ m² on the tank top; 4.50tonnes/m² on the second deck; and 2.55tonnes/m² on hatchcovers. Container capacities are 1383TEU, with 420 carried in the hold and 963 on deck. Stack loads are 100tonnes TEU/140tonnes FEU on the tank top; and 50tonnes TEU/65tonnes FEU on deck. The hull form includes a bulbous bow and a long skeg extending aft, at either side of which is positioned a 3900mm diameter CP propeller, placed forward of twin Becker rudders. Two MAN 9L32/44 main engines are fitted, each developing 4500kW and driving the propellers through Flender gearboxes. Two 790kW main engine driven alternators and

two MAN/DFME diesel powered sets supply electrical requirements. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

EWBUILDINGS destined for companies controlled by C-P Öffen have appeared regularly in the 18 previous issues of Significant Ships, but CPO France is arguably the first tanker delivered to this Hamburg-based owner to be featured in these pages. It is also just one of a colossal 188 tankers reported as being on order with HMD in June 2008 and is drawn from the company's four standard product designs, which cover sizes 37,000dwt, 47,000dwt, 52,000dwt and 75,000dwt. These form part of an extraordinary total order book of some 280 vessels, including container ships, gas carriers, ro-ro vessels, general cargo and export car/truck carriers, awaiting delivery at that date from the Ulsan shipyard. The single decked design has a bulbous bow, forecastle, open water sternframe with ice knife, and a four-tier deckhouse surmounted by a wheelhouse, which provides accommodation for 25 crew and six Suez Canal operatives. The double-hull contains six pairs of cargo tanks, and is surrounded by the same number of wing tanks connected to centrally divided double bottom tanks, and together utilised for the carriage of water ballast. Significant Ships of 2008

SS08 - p35+36.indd 35

Fuel oil bunker tanks and slop tanks are positioned between the cargo space and machinery room, and arrangements are included for one of these tanks to be retained for low sulphur heavy oil storage for use in sulphur emission control area (SECA) waters. The troughed transverse and centreline bulkheads are built on stools, and because side structure is included in the double-hull space and deck stiffening is arranged externally, a plain internal surface is presented within the tanks. The connection between the centreline bulkhead and the deck also forms a stool configuration which, in way of numbers 5 and 6 cargo tanks and a slop tank, forms a compartment allocated as a residual oil tank. With trading possibilities for product/chemical tankers of this size in Arctic waters increasing, CPO France follows the current trend by conforming to the requirements of Ice Class 1A, whilst the specification also includes the regulations covering the carriage of IMO Type II chemicals, petroleum products, naphtha and crude oil. Cargo handling is by means of 12 Framo 500m³/hour hydraulically operated submerged pumps, with two similar 300m³/hour units serving the slop tanks. Cargo and ballast operations are each controlled by Hyundai Aconis systems. The propelling machinery has been supplied by Hyundai's Ulsan works and consists of a MAN B&W 6S50MC-C main engine, developing 9480kW at 127rev/min to produce 15.3knots at 85% MCR through a fixed pitch propeller. Electrical supply is derived from three diesel alternator sets having both mechanical and electrical parts also supplied by Hyundai; each unit's output is 730kW. Yet another item supplied by Hyundai is the electrical connection drawing power from shore in port - the so-called cold ironing technique, which is becoming attractive to a growing number of owners today. Kawasaki provided the 900kW bow thruster, and the bridge control system was engineered by Kongsberg. Of interest is the fact that this does not include either an

Krylov Institute, Russia Flag:.................................................................Italy Total number of sister ships already completed:............................... Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:............................................ .3 HE commitment of Italy's Grimaldi Group to T domestic and inter-Mediterranean ferry operations has been referred to in previous Significant Ship annual

reviews, and is further evidenced by recent acquisitions of overseas companies, and by investment in new tonnage for the many home-based services. These include this four-ship series of ro-ro/cruise ferries, built primarily to link the Italian port of Civitavecchia with Barcelona in Spain, but suitable for both long and short international voyages. The hull, and almost full length superstructure, encloses 12 decks surmounted by a streamlined funnel positioned just aft of midships. Three of the decks are available for ro-ro cargoes, and there is one enclosed upper car garage (deck 7). The main and upper decks are arranged for the carriage of dangerous goods, and vehicle access is over twin stern ramp/doors opening to the main deck. A fixed ramp, closed by a flush, watertight cover, links with the lower garage, and another fixed ramp in the aft part of the main deck gives access to the upper ro-ro deck. A vertical door on this ramp separates these decks in compliance with dangerous cargo regulations. Two hoistable ramps also connect the main and upper decks (for trailers and cars), and link the upper deck to the car garage. Trailer lane capacity is 3100m, with a width of 3m and 2.8m, and there is additional capacity for 215 cars (1.95m width). In a seagoing condition, mechanical ventilation provides10 air changes/hour, with 20 changes available in port. A drencher fire extinguishing system serves the cargo spaces. Sixty reefer plugs are provided. Five decks are allocated to crew and passenger and accommodation, the latter offering a total of 1834 berths in 460 cabins, including 11 four-berth owners suites and 50 four-berth 'junior' suites. Three two-berth cabins for disabled travellers, 285 four-berth internal cabins, 110 external four-berth and two, 2-berth external cabins are also available. All cabins are complemented by private toilet facilities. Public rooms include self-service, à la carte and drivers' restaurants, public and VIP lounges, shops, children's

playroom, gymnasium and health centre, disco and games machine room. A lido and swimming pool are also provided. Lifesaving facilities include four vertical MES chutes and six 150-person lifeboats. The machinery installation is centred on four Wärtsilä (Italy) 12V46D main engines, each developing 13,860kW at 500rev/min. Each pair of engines is connected via flexible couplings, through a Renk twin input/single output gearbox to a CP propeller running at 148rev/min, for a trial speed at 76% MCR of 25knots. Each gearbox has a PTO connection to a 2300kW alternator, with electrical power supplemented by three 2500kW dieseldriven alternators. Two 1850kW bow thrusters are installed, and the twin rudders are of the high-lift 'twisted' type. An active-fin stabiliser system is also installed. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

T

HE Amoretti Group has been operating tankers in the liquid petroleum and IMO II chemical transport market for some 40 years, and currently has 16 small and medium-sized vessels in service or building, mainly trading on behalf of oil majors, and generally in Mediterranean and Northern European waters. Several units of its fleet have already featured in Significant Ships reviews, but Dante A merits particular interest because of its owner’s decision to opt for virtually total redundancy of propulsion and steering. To achieve this, a twin engine machinery installation has been specified, based on a pair of Wärtsilä 8L32 main engines driving twin, moderately skewed, CP propellers via Wärtsilä single input/single output, reduction gearboxes. Each of the gearboxes is vertically offset and fitted with a clutched PTO. The main engines each develop 3680kW at 750rev/ min MCR and produce a service speed, at 85% full power and allowing a 15% sea margin, of 14.8knots. The gearbox power take-offs are connected to 500kW alternators which can handle normal sea loadings. Three 800kW diesel-driven sets are also available. The propeller shafts are enclosed in twin skegs under a pram stern, and behind them two active-fin type spade rudders are fitted, each operated by an independent rotary vane steering gear. A tunnel-type, 600kW Wärtsilä thruster with a nickel-aluminium CP propeller, is fitted at the bow. Dante A is built with a double hull which extends aft into the machinery space, and a forecastle linked to the main hull by an attractive bulwark sweep. Twelve cargo tanks, and two for slops, are formed within the hull by troughed transverse and longitudinal bulkheads, with all surfaces protected by a phenolic epoxy coating. Cargo is handled by 12 Hamworthy-Svanehøj deepwell electric pumps, each with a duty rating of 250m³/hour, through midship and stern manifolds which also include bunker and gas vapour connections. A discharge rate of 2500m³/h with and without venting, can be achieved, with loading, including vapour return,

carried out at 1800m³/h and 3000m³/h without that facility. Piping, pumps and valves are manufactured of stainless steel, and simultaneous loading and discharge of six cargo segregations is possible at midships, and three aft. Cargoes with temperatures up to 80ºC can be handled, and heating coils are installed in the tanks. Two fixed washing machines are fitted in each tank, and venting, nitrogen, inert gas, gas detection and foam fire extinguishing systems installed. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

APENG Sun is another product of the burgeoning Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai but this ship’s most notable claim to fame is as the first LNG carrier to be built in China. It is the lead ship of a series of five, constructed in collaboration with the former Alstom Atlantique shipyard at St Nazaire (now operating as part of STX Europe), one of the pioneers of large-capacity LNG carrier construction. Destined for operation between the North West Shelf LNG export facility at Withnell Bay, near Dampier in Western Australia, and China’s first gas receiving terminal at Dapeng, Guangdong province, the vessel has entered service with a complex joint venture ownership network, involving participants in the North West Shelf project, COSCO Dalian, the Chinese LNG industry, and Hong Kong based shipowners. Shell International carried out shipyard supervision, and the technical management company (CLSICO) includes BP Shipping in its organisation. Cargo is carried in four tanks contained within a complete double side/bottom/bulkhead structure with topside tanks, the inner line of which is carried up to form the side of a nearly full length upper deck trunk. Gas is transported at temperatures of -163 C and at near atmospheric pressure using a GTT NO96 containment system. This has primary and secondary membranes formed of Invar (36% nickel steel), in conjunction with other proven insulation materials to satisfy the required boil-off rate. All cargo system components are subject to cryogenic temperatures, and handling is carried out using eight (two per tank) electric, stainless steel, submerged pumps each with a capacity of 1500m³/hour, and supplied from Spain by Ebara, along with four 50m³/hour spray pumps. Cargo and ballast operations are controlled by a Centrum CS3000 integrated automation system o

MOERI, Korea Flag: ................................................... Singapore Total number of sister ships already completed:................................ 2 Total number of sister ships still on order:........................................... 2 ESPITE having emerged as a shipbuilder in its own right only as recently as 2001 (having acquired D the former Daedong assets), STX Shipbuilding is

already well on its way to achieving its aim of becoming 'the world's top shipbuilding group'. By 2012 it is anticipated that turnover will reach US$10 billion, raised from some 21 shipyards worldwide, including the recently acquired Aker Group, and the newly opened STX Dalian (China) facility. To service this aim, the group has put together an extensive portfolio of designs which includes that for a 51,000dwt product tanker. Emirates Star, an example of this series, is understood to be amongst the first vessels in the world to be built to the IACS Common Structural Rules (CSR). The single decked tanker is designed to carry crude oil, oil products and more than 240 IMO Type II commodities (including sodium hydroxide solution), in six pairs of cargo tanks, divided by a centreline bulkhead which, like the transverse bulkheads, is of troughed construction and built on stools. With side stiffening placed within the double-hull space, and deck beams arranged externally, a smooth internal tank surface is presented and coated with 250microns of pure epoxy. The structure has a 25 year fatigue life, and the side tanks are linked with top and bottom wing tanks, as well as being joined with centrally divided double bottom spaces to form water ballast compartments, protected by epoxy coatings. A particular feature of the design is the adoption of side stiffening formed of web frames spaced 3600mm apart. One pair of slop tanks, together with the bunker tanks, are located between the engineroom and cargo space. The piping system is designed to serve six cargo segregations and has each cargo tank fitted with a Framo hydraulic, submerged, 600m³/hour pump, with two similar 300m³/h pumps serving the slop tanks. Two Framo hydraulically operated, 750m³/h pumps handle water ballast duties, and each tank has an overflow line

for ballast exchange using a flow-through system, operated by automatic remote control. The main engine has been constructed by the shipbuilder's engineering division and is of MAN B&W 6S50MC-C Mk7 design developing 9480kW at 127rev/ min full power. At an NCR of 8058kW and running at 120rev/min, corresponding to 85% MCR, and allowing a 15% sea margin, a service speed of 15.20knots is achieved. The prime movers for the three alternator sets are STX manufactured, MAN Holeby 5L21/31 machines, coupled to Hyundai electrical units each with an output of 1125kVA. Steam is generated by an oil fired, and a composite boiler, and bridge control of the machinery installation is by means of an STX/Lyngsø bridge control system. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

tankers of the various designs included in its extensive portfolio, and ranging in size from 13,000dwt to a 115,000dwt Aframax type, represented in this review by Fair Seas. Featuring a double skin hull, within which there are six pairs of cargo tanks, plus two slop tanks, residual tank and oil fuel bunkers, this advanced version of one of STX's popular standards has been developed in accordance with the International Association of Classification Societies' (IACS) Common Structural Rules (CSR), allowing a structural fatigue life of 25 years. Plain-type transverse and longitudinal bulkheads have been fitted, with side stiffeners, including web frames, arranged in a double-hull space which is linked with centrally divided double bottoms tanks and utilised for water ballast purposes. The six pairs of tanks thus provided are separated from the machinery space by an independent pump room. The cargo tanks are designed to carry 41 types of oil products, including crude oil, and are coated with International Paint pure epoxy. Loading and unloading is carried out using two steam turbine driven, vertical centrifugal pumps manufactured by Hyundai, each handling 3000m³/hour, with both cargo and ballast operations controlled by Emerson systems using hydraulic actuators and mimic diagrams. With reference to environmental and safety requirements, Fair Seas has been classed by Det Norske Veritas and complies with that society's requirements for a 'Clean' notation, and also qualifies for a Green Passport. ExxonMobil and OCIMF recommendations are also included.

The machinery installation is based upon a MAN B&W 6S60MC-C Mk8 main engine developing 14,235kW MCR when running at 109rev/min. In service, Fair Seas will operate at 85% full power and 105rev/min to produce a speed of 15knots, using a propeller designed in-house by STX and cast by Hyundai. Bunker capacity is 2920m³ of heavy oil, providing a cruising range of 18,000 miles, and allowing a three-day reserve. Electrical requirements are served from three STX-MAN Holeby driven alternators, each of 900kW output, and steam is produced in two KangRim 30,000kg/h water tube boilers. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

A

LTHOUGH many Stocznia Szczecinska designs have featured in Significant Ships reviews over the years, this is believed to be the first time that the B-170 container ship has been represented. Fesco Vitim is an updated version of a long-running and popular design, which is configured as a double-hull vessel with long forecastle (through which No 1 hold is accessed) and poop. More than 50 examples have been ordered, including two under licence in Vietnam. B-Type freeboard has been assigned, and of the four cargo holds, Nos 1 to 3 are suitable for the carriage of dangerous cargoes of IMO classes 1.4s; 2.1-2.3; 3; 4.14.3; 5.1; 6.1; 8 and 9. In addition, hold No 1 is prepared for cargoes of IMO classes 1.1 to 1.6. Total container capacity is 1730TEU, of which 734 are carried in the holds and 1096 on deck, with lashings arranged in accordance with OSHA rules. Electrical sockets are provided on deck for 200 boxes, and 45ft and 48ft units can be loaded on deck in the area of the three, centreline MacGregor deck cranes. MacGregor-China supplied the nine sets of steel pontoon hatchcovers closing the four holds. These are fitted with double rubber lip type seals between the panels, and have permissible container stack loadings of 40tonnes/TEU and 60tonnes/FEU for hatches 1 and 2, and 60tonnes/TEU and 90tonnes/FEU for hatches 3 to 9. Tanktop point loadings are 140tonnes/TEU and 175tonnes/FEU, and the uniformly distributed tanktop loadings are 14tonnes/m² in holds 2 to 4 and 10.5tonnes/ m² in hold 1. The hull is of all welded construction with steel of AH-32; AH-36; DH-36 and EH-36 specification applied to main deck, also to the sheer strake, upper strakes of longitudinal bulkheads in holds, continuous longitudinal hatch coamings and the shell in way of the ice belt.

The main engine is a Sulzer type 6RTA62U, manufactured by Polish licensee, H Cegielski-Poznan (HCP), developing 13,320kW when running at 113rev/ min. Directly coupled to a five-bladed, FP propeller fitted in an asymmetric stern, this machinery produces a service speed of 19.87knots at 90% full power. Electrical requirements are served by three HCP-Sulzer/ DFME alternator sets, each having an output of 1370kVA, and facilities are provided for accepting power from shore supply - as is the current trend.

Bahamas Total number of sister ships already completed:..............................Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:........................................... 3 Illustration shows sister ship Gulf Esprit

yundai Mipo's delivery schedule for 2008 H envisaged the completion of 70 vessels at Ulsan facility, the majority of which were expected to be

product/chemical tankers of the four types included in the yard's standard series portfolio, and referred to in our review of CPO France. Gulf Baynunah is a variant of the mid-range HMD 47,000dwt design (actually deadweight at scantling draught is 46,500dwt), but incorporating a number of changes from some sisters, particularly regarding the choice of main engine where a six cylinder version of the Hyundai-MAN B&W S50MC-C type has been selected in place of a 7-cylinder Mk 6 version of the same design. Developing 8598kW MCR at a de-rated speed of 116.5rev/min, this engine drives a fixed pitch propeller to give a service speed of 14.8knots when operating at 85% of full output, and consuming just less than 37tonnes of heavy fuel oil each day. Bunker tanks are located between the machinery room and cargo space and include separate provision for storage of oil with low sulphur content, to suit SECA requirements. Electrical supply is drawn from three Yanmar/ Hyundai 1200kW diesel alternators, with facilities also provided for 'cold ironing' (receiving shore-based electrical supplies) when in port, to suit the environmental demands of some authorities. In another change from other newbuildings of this type, no thrusters are fitted. The single decked design (which does not include strengthening for ice navigation), features a forecastle, linked by a fore and aft gangway to a four tier deckhouse and wheelhouse aft. Within the double-hull layout the cargo space is divided into eight pairs of tanks suitable for the carriage of petroleum products and IMO Type II and III commodities. Two slop tanks are also provided, whilst the six pairs of tanks occupying the surrounding space are combined with centrally divided double

bottom tanks to form L-shaped water ballast compartments. A residual oil tank is incorporated in the centreline bulkhead structure at the top of number 8 cargo tank and adjoining slop tank. The longitudinal and transverse bulkheads are of troughed construction and, with side frames positioned within the double-hull and deck stiffening arranged externally, a plain internal surface is presented for tank coatings. Cargo handling is by way of port and starboard manifolds on the upper deck amidships, using Framo hydraulically operated, submerged pumps: 16 of 600m³/hour duty fitted in the cargo tanks, and two of 300m³/hour in the slop tanks. Control of cargo and ballast operations is carried out using Hyundai Aconis systems with a Kongsberg C-20 installation controlling navigation equipment, but without the inclusion of an integrated bridge or facilities for one-man operation.

GYPSUM INTEGRITY: self-discharging bulker from Brazil Shipbuilder:.................Estaleiro Ilha SA, Brazil Vessel’s name:....................... Gypsum Integrity Hull number:............................................. EI-492 IMO number: ........................................9405162 Owner/operator:........... Gypsum Transportation Ltd, Bermuda/Beltship Management Ltd, Monaco Designer:....................... CR Cushing & Co Inc, USA/EISA, Brazil/Projemar, Brazil Flag: .................................................... Bermuda Number of sister ships already completed: ........................... Nil Number of sister ships still on order: ..................................... Nil HE award of the Gypsum Integrity detail design and T construction contract to the Brazilian shipyard Estaleiro Ilha (EISA) marks a stage, it is hoped, in the

re-emergence of Brazil into the world market. Detail design was accomplished by EISA’s technical department with support from the Rio de Janeiro based design agent, Projemar; they worked to a concept and contract design prepared by the New York based naval architectural consultancy C R Cushing & Co Inc, which also created the parent ship, Gypsum Centennial, built in 2001 by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard. The claimed unique design of Gypsum Integrity was based on the owner and operator’s requirements. Both Gypsum Transportation and Beltship Management have more than 30 years experience in the management and operation of self-unloading bulkers. Their past experience set many design goals, one of which was to keep the C-belt out of the machinery space and living quarters. This was common practice in other ships, but carried with it significant arrangement disadvantages in the machinery space and noise and vibration issues in the accommodation space. In this new ship, the C-belt, although essentially exterior to the superstructure, allowed the central control station and the conference room/library to be placed outboard of the C-belt, thus allowing utilisation of main deck space which would normally be fallow. All ship control, exclusive of navigation and exterior communication, is from within the central control station located on the main deck and outboard of the C-belts. Gypsum Centennial served as the platform for several innovative installations, including the moving hole feeder system from BMH Marine (today MacGregor Bulk). The owner’s early acceptance of this concept was based on substantial shore-side testing and excellent onboard technical support. Five years’ reliable operation in the off-loading of gypsum rock and coal gave the owner confidence to fit the same system again on Gypsum Integrity. Compared to conventional gates, the main feature of the moving hole feeder is that hogbacks between gates are eliminated, and one continuing slot is maintained for the entire length of the four cargo holds. These features create an uninterrupted gravity flow of material from the holds. The feeder consists mainly of a moving deck with openings to the cargo holds (moving holes) and a number of trays placed under the openings. A

stationary ladder is located between the deck and trays. As the deck and trays traverse back and forth, the ladder rungs act as a scraper and feed out the material to the belt conveyor underneath. The ladder rungs also function as a seal to avoid overflow of material from cargo holds. The telescopic boom has a length of 36m, considered exceptional since the maximum boom length is 76m and the minimum length in retracted position is only 40m. Due to the shuttling conveyor, it is easy to position the boom conveyor to distribute the material directly to stockpiles onshore or to transfer to other receiving arrangements, such as hoppers and conveyor systems. One of the primary objectives of the new ship’s design was to achieve one that was as environment friendly as practical. In addition to strict compliance with regulatory requirements, the vessel incorporates many green features that go beyond these. One is an extensive cargo dust suppression system in combination with dust enclosures for all external belts. A travelling telescopic discharge chute can be attached to the discharge end of the shuttle conveyor to reduce dust and avoid spillage. Gypsum Centennial had the first shipboard installation of an electronically controlled Wärtsilä RT-flex engine, so it is no surprise that the new ship continues with this type, using a six-cylinder RT-flex58T-B model developing 11,275kW at 93rev/min to deliver a service speed of 15knots.

PP Shipbuilding’s Significant Ships debut last year was highlighted by the claim to be Korea’s newest shipbuilding company, having made the transition from crane builder to shipbuilder as recently as 2005. Such has been the growth of the company, which now operates from three sites, that by mid-2008 it was expecting to count itself as Number 8 in the world, in terms of order book. Much of that success, no doubt, stems from restricting its inaugural portfolio to products/chemical tankers of 50,000dwt, and bulk carriers in the 35,000dwt range. More recently, however, orders for larger vessels of both types, and for 3500TEU container ships have been booked and these will form part of a delivery programme expected to reach 69 ships annually by 2011. Horizon Armonia is a sister of the 50,100dwt products/ chemical tanker Dubai Star, featured in our 2007 review, but illustrates the design’s ability to adapt to owner’s choice of main engine. More significant, perhaps, is the claim that the vessel is the first example of this class to be constructed in accordance with the IACS Common Structural Rules; actual classification was been carried out by the American Bureau of Shipping. The machinery change brings in a Doosan-MAN B&W 6S50MC-C7 main engine developing 9480kW at 127rev/min MCR, giving a service speed of 14.90knots when running at 85% full power and with a 15% sea margin. Electrical supply is derived from three Yanmar/Taiyo 900kW diesel driven alternator sets, and steam is generated in an 18,000kg/h oil fired boiler and a 1200kg/h composite unit.

The hull is single decked, with forecastle, and accommodation block aft. The double skin structure forms side and bottom tanks given over to water ballast, and encloses a cargo space divided into six pairs of cargo tanks and one pair of slop tanks, by troughed centreline and transverse bulkheads built on stools. Side stiffening is arranged within the double-hull space, and with deck beams fitted externally, a smooth internal surface is presented, coated with a Sigma pure epoxy to provide protection against the 2850-plus commodities likely to be loaded, including crude oil products and chemical cargoes in the IMO Type III range. The engineroom area is given additional protection for fuel and lubricating oils, in accordance with the ABS POT notation. For cargo handling, 12 Framo hydraulic submerged, 600m³/h pumps are provided, with two similar 300m³/h units, and a 20m³/h pump fitted in the slop and residue tanks, respectively. Water ballast is handled by a pair of 750m³/h hydraulic pumps, and each tank is arranged with an overflow line for ballast exchange, operated on the flow-through method by an automatic remote valve control system.

HOS ACHIEVER: multipurpose support ship from re-opened Krimpen yard Shipbuilder:......................... Krimpen Shipyard (IHC Merwede), The Netherlands Vessel’s name:............................ HOS Achiever Yard number:................................................ 714 IMO number:........................................ 9414163 Owner/operator:.................Hornbeck Offshore Services Inc, USA Designer:........IHC Merwede, The Netherlands Flag: ..................................................... Vanuatu Total number of sister ships already completed:.............................. 1 Total number of sister ships still on order:......................................... 2

D

ESPITE having three shipyards at its disposal, the IHC Merwede Group found itself fully stretched towards the end of 2006, and in order to reduce the workload on those facilities, reached an agreement with the then owner of the former Van der Giessen-de Noord yard at Krimpen aan den IJssel, near Rotterdam, to first lease, then purchase, the premises. HOS Achiever, the first new completion at the re-opened shipyard, has now entered service as a multi-purpose workhorse capable of a wide range of existing activities, and others likely to materialise in the future. To satisfy the requirements of its Louisiana-based client in a cost-effective, and competitively priced way, it was decided to base the design of HOS Achiever on that of the proven Merwede Type-22 (22m beam) support vessel. To this platform has been added facilities for the operation of a Triton XL twin work class ROV system, a 70tonnes SWL heave compensated offshore crane, a 160tonne offshore mast crane, and a 300tonne A&R (Abandon and Recovery) winch capable of deep water work down to 3000m, either over the ship’s side, or through the large working moonpool. A modular, 12-man-300m twin-bell saturation diving spread is fitted; however, the vessel can support the inclusion of a second unit. This would then provide a complete 24-man saturation system with dual hyperbaric rescue chambers. One bell would work through the dive moonpool, and the other through the working moonpool. The versatility of HOS Achiever is such that a modular pipelaying unit could be installed on the aft deck at a later date. A diesel-electric machinery plant is installed, comprised of four 6.6kV Siemens alternators, each driven by an MAN 9L27/38 diesel engine developing 2970kW; they are housed in pairs in two separate enginerooms, port and starboard in the fore body. These provide ample power for propulsion, manoeuvring and positioning, using a Kongsberg DP3 system which incorporates the two main Wärtsilä 3000kW azimuthing thrusters with 2800mm diameter FP propellers aft, and

a retractable Wärtsilä 1200kW azimuthing thruster forward. Two Rolls-Royce Kamewa 1350kW tunneltype thrusters are also fitted forward. A third engineroom holds two MAN/Siemens 1500kW diesel alternator sets, which supply power to cranes, winches and other non-propulsive equipment, and guarantee additional power to enhance safety and flexibility. The DP system is completely redundant and can be controlled from fore and aft consoles, and from an Alternate Control Centre situated below the wheelhouse. In common with most offshore-type vessels a substantial, compact superstructure, topped by a helicopter deck, is built on the forecastle, housing nine officers and 20 crew, plus 128 supernumaries and contractors’ personnel. Lifesaving facilities provided include an outfit of Fassmer enclosed lifeboats, and a six-person man overboard boat. All are handled by Umoe Schat-Harding davits. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

ISLAND SKY: home-built, open deck ferry for British Columbia services Shipbuilder:......Vancouver Shipyards Co Ltd, Canada Vessel’s name:................................. Island Sky Hull number:................................................ 167 IMO number:....................................... 9370458 Owner/operator:.......... British Columbia Ferry Services Inc (BC Ferries), Canada Designer:..........Vancouver Shipyards Co Ltd, Canada Model test establishment used:............... Force Technology, Denmark Flag: ..................................................... Canada Number of sister ships already completed:.......................... Nil Number of sister ships still on order: . ................................. Nil F necessity, the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, is served by numerous short-distance O ferry routes, many of which are operated by BC

Ferries, and its newbuilding, Island Sky, has been designed with a 45 year operational life to provide a multi-port capability on at least ten of these, but especially on the scenic northern 'Sunshine Coast' route, transiting the mouth of Jervis Inlet. This ship forms part of a new investment programme at BC Ferries, headed by the larger Coastal class trio (Coastal Renaissance, Significant Ships of 2007). The hull is symmetrically laid-out as a double-ended ferry with a central superstructure bridging the open car deck. This is topped with a single, enclosed wheelhouse providing excellent sight lines forward and aft, facilitating the rigorous manoeuvring qualities required to fit the vessel into terminals where a tidal range up to 5m can be experienced, and where interfacing with 8.2m wide shore ramps is required. The arrangement also allows excellent visibility for monitoring traffic flow on to the main vehicle deck, also port and starboard gallery decks. The main accommodation deck is number 4 where comfortable lounge seating is available for up to 70% of the maximum 600 passenger complement. External seating is provided on deck 5 for around 120 travellers. Increased fire extinguishing systems are fitted to serve the vehicle decks, including six remote controlled fire stations, whilst passenger areas and enginerooms are served by a Hi-Fog installation. Lifesaving equipment includes two 14m, twin-path sloping marine evacuation systems supplied by Liferaft Systems Australia and fitted with 100-person, SOLAS B, self-righting rafts. Noise and vibration levels have been restricted in accordance with ISO 2923 and ISO 6954:2000 (E) standards. Passenger access platforms are positioned to interface with shore-based gangways and ramps, and a lift links the vehicle deck with the uppermost passenger deck. The machinery system is installed in two independent, forward and aft rooms, which provide sufficient redundancy to allow Island Sky to be safely manoeuvred should either of these become disabled. An uninterrupted power supply philosophy is planned to ensure that full propulsion power, together with control and function of all navigational equipment, is maintained, and the equipment is understood to make

the vessel ‘black-out proof ’. The propulsion plant is based on four Niigata ZP-21 Z-peller steerable, right-angle drive, 360deg rotating units, positioned at each ‘corner’ of the hull, either side of a central skeg. These are fitted with Kort nozzles, having full width stainless steel internal inserts supplied by Van der Giessen. Driving power comes from four (two in each engineroom) Niigata 6L25HX (6-cylinder in-line) main engines, each developing 1143kW at 720rev/ min, with the shaft lines to each Z-peller comprising hydraulic couplings, gear couplings, intermediate shafts, bulkhead seals, Twin Disc slipping clutches and STO hydraulic steering pumps. The propellers are manufactured from nickel-aluminium-bronze (ALBC 30) alloy, and, together with the thruster nozzles, are built to Baltic ice class B equivalency to give protection against log strikes. Three Caterpillar diesel-alternator sets each produce 260kW of electrical power when running at 100% continuously, and 110% rated power for one hour. Specified service speed is 14.5knots, and this was achieved on trials with the aft engines running at 85% MCR and the forward units powered for optimum consumption and not in excess of 85% MCR. All normal engine-driven equipment was also ‘on line’. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

T

HE Cicek Shipyard was founded in 1980, but not until 2004 did it build a ship larger than 6000dwt. This was a 15,000dwt chemical tanker, and its construction precipitated the yard into series production of this type of vessel and instituted an investment programme, which has made it one of Turkey’s largest, encompassing a building dock with the potential to hold 100,000dwt vessels. Korsaro is a 26,000dwt IMO Type II oil/chemical design which, when ordered in 2007 by domestic owner Besiktas Shipping (and launched as Besiktas Jutland), was the largest vessel of this type yet built by Cicek. Sold prior to delivery to another Turkish owner, it therefore completes a domestic pedigree beginning with a local designer and continuing through builder to owner. The vessel incorporates the requirements of an Ice Class 1A notation, and is configured with a double skin hull, surrounding a cargo space divided by transverse and centreline bulkheads of troughed construction into 14 tanks protected with Hempel’s epoxy coatings. Heating coils are fitted, and supplied with thermal oil from two Aalborg-Wiesloch 4000kW boilers. Each tank is served by a Hamworthy-Svanehøj, stainless steel (AISI 316L) deepwell pump, ten of which deliver 445m³/h with four rated at 280m³/h. Two cylindrical slop tanks are mounted either side of the forward upper deck; they are worked by 120m³/h pumps. All tanks are fitted with Saab Rosemount radar

tank level gauges. Hamworthy-Svanehøj also supplied the ABB explosion-proof pump motors, and a frequency converter package to control the equipment, together with a hydraulically-driven 70m³/h portable pump and two ballast pumps. The machinery installation is based on a MaK 9M43C main engine developing 9000kW at 500rev/ min and coupled, via a ZF type W103100 NC reduction gearbox, to a CP propeller (also supplied by ZF) turning at 155 rev/min. Speed in service is 16knots at 90% MCR and allowing a 10% sea margin. Three Taiyo 800kW alternators, driven by Yanmar 880kW/900rev/min diesel engines, supply electrical requirements; they are supplemented by the output from a Leroy Somer shaft driven alternator. Also supplied is an Elta connection enabling power to be taken from shore supply whilst in port. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

running at 94rev/min to give a service speed of 15knots, an arrangement selected in order to give the vessel a more flexible range of operation. Daihatsu diesel engines, arranged to satisfy IMO environmental standards, drive the three Taiyo 450kW alternators, and a composite boiler and an exhaust gas unit provide the required steam. Ballast capacity is 37,258m³, and facilities are provided to allow water to be changed during navigation in order to preserve the ocean environment. Mitsui's 'Manamax' design is single decked, with a forecastle erection. Top and bottom wing ballast tanks are provided in the holds, the latter being joined with centrally-divided double bottom tanks to form common compartments. Mitsui is another builder still happy to adopt the single-hull concept for its bulk carrier designs, in this case the resulting cargo space is divided into seven holds, closed by MacGregor-Kayaba, single panel, side rolling covers.

ITSUI Shipbuilding & Engineering is another Japanese builder to recognise the possibilities arising from modifying an existing Panamax bulk carrier design by increasing the length between perpendiculars by some 2m, whilst retaining the Panama Canal maximum 225m overall length. Since this dimension is also the maximum berth length available at most Japanese grain terminals, the resulting vessel can now deliver almost 82,000tonnes (97,000m³) of grain to the home market, compared to 75,000tonnes carried in a conventional Panamax bulker of similar overall length. Lady Giovi, which was completed at the Tamano Shipyard at the end of 2007, is the first example of the new design, which Mitsui has dubbed the 'Manamax'. As with Oshima's 'Japanamax' design (see Azur in this issue), the increase in length between perpendiculars has been achieved largely by modifying the forebody lines and introducing a very full hull form ending in a vertical stem. Despite the 'bluffness' of the resulting bow, Lady Giovi exhibits a good propulsion performance, assisted by the fitting of a MIPB-Wing (Mitsui Integrated Propeller Boss with Wings). A Mariner type rudder is installed in the open water sternframe, aft of the fixedpitch propeller. The main engine is a Mitsui-MAN B&W 6S60MC-C (Mk7) unit, derated to develop 12,100kW when Significant Ships of 2008

AERSK Algol is the last of a series of four post-Panamax sisters ordered from Samsung by Danish giant, AP Møller, and built to an environment friendly design capable of loading up to a nominal 9034TEU. All fuel storage tanks are protected by a double skin. Up to 729FEU refrigerated boxes can be loaded, and these are cooled by fresh water through fixed cooling pipes and by fresh air from mechanical ventilation fans. The cell guide system is dimensioned so that the ship can handle 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft ISO containers, with up to 4462TEU in holds and 4572 on deck. Lashing bridges are fitted at all positions, including over the holds at the stern aft of the superstructure; they cover two or three tiers depending on location. Up to seven tiers of containers can be carried on deck. Further protection is provided by a substantial breakwater at the aft end of the forecastle. MacGregor-design pontoon hatchcovers, fabricated by Samsung, are fitted throughout. Propulsion power for a service speed of 25.5knots at 85% MCR is supplied by a Wärtsilä 12-cylinder RT-flex96C engine built by Doosan and developing 68,640kW running at 102rev/min. This drives a 8900mm diameter FP propeller designed by Samsung and cast in Germany by Mecklenburger Metallguss (MMG). Both the main engine and the auxiliaries are designed to run on 1.5% low sulphur fuel to minimise polluting exhaust emissions. All electrical supplies come from a bank of four Hyundai alternators driven by Wärtsilä 6L32 engines each developing 2800kW at 720rev/min. No waste

HE Norwegian Ugland family controls a number of long established companies, with shipping interests covering a wide range of activities, including the offshore industries, bulk carriers, car carriers and tankers. Panamax-sized Mari Ugland, a tailor-made design from the Brodosplit portfolio, joins the latter division of its owner’s operations, and is suitable for world-wide transportation of oil and oil products, with particular attention paid to the North Atlantic trades. For this purpose, a 20-year fatigue life has been specified for the structure, which has also been strengthened to meet Swedish-Finnish Ice Class 1A rules. The single decked hull is complete with a forecastle, joined with the superstructure aft by a longitudinal gangway. The cargo space is protected by a double skin, and is divided by a centreline, and eight transverse bulkheads of troughed construction, to provide six pairs of cargo tanks, two slop tanks and a residue tank. With deck stiffeners fitted above deck, a plain internal surface is presented, protected by phenol epoxy coatings. Six segregated cargo groups can be handled through stainless steel piping, by means of a Framo submerged pump in each tank. These have a duty of 1000m³/h, allowing a full cargo to be discharged in less than 12 hours, and are driven from hydraulic power packs with Significant Ships of 2008

SS08 - p69+70.indd 69

a combination of diesel and electric prime movers to provide flexibility and to reduce alternator size. The double hull side and bottom spaces, together with the peak compartments, are allocated as segregated water ballast tanks, and all are serviced by GRP piping. To ensure final cargo stripping, a separate small diameter pipeline is installed, and fresh and sea water washing is provided for each tank, giving a cleanliness greater than the 96% required for DNV’s ETC notation. The main engine has been manufactured by the shipbuilder’s engine building associate, and is a MAN B&W 6S60MC-C non-reversible unit, developing 13,560kW at 105rev/min. At 85% MCR and sailing at the design draught, a service speed of 15.7knots is obtained from the CP propeller. A highly interesting feature is the provision of a novel ‘take-me-home’ device developed by the owner. This takes the form of chains turning a special unit on the propeller shaft, and driven at approximately 2000kW by the common hydraulic system serving the cargo and ballast pump systems. With the main engine disconnected, this arrangement provides a speed of approximately nine knots. Three diesel-driven alternator sets are installed, using Uljanik-Siemens 1137kVA electrical parts, coupled to Brodosplit-MAN 6L23/30 engines. Steam power is provided from two boilers, one oil fired producing 25,000kg/h, and one exhaust gas unit with a duty of 2000/1600kg/h. European standard accommodation is provided for a total complement of 30 persons in a five tier deckhouse aft. Lifesaving facilities include a 36 person enclosed, free-fall lifeboat, a rescue boat and five liferafts. At the top of the superstructure is a wheelhouse, offset to starboard and projecting forward to give an improved view and accommodating a conning console. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

HE Chandris group ranks, arguably, amongst the oldest Greek shipowning companies still operating, having been founded in Piraeus at the beginning of the 20th century. Successive generations of the family have built on those early foundations, concentrating mainly on dry-cargo and tanker/ tramp ship activities, yet also finding time to pursue more than a passing interest in the passenger ship and cruise liner market (see Horizon, Significant Ships of 1990). Mariloula, however, falls easily into the owner’s mainstream bulk cargo trading pattern whilst, at the same time, enhancing DSME’s bulk carrier portfolio. Built at the company’s Okpo shipyard under the survey of Lloyd’s Register, and in accordance with the IACS common structural rules (CSR), the vessel is laid out with a single deck and forecastle, and has a single skin hull with top and bottom wing tanks, surrounding a cargo space subdivided by troughed, transverse bulkheads, into nine cargo holds. These have a total capacity of 198,000m³: amongst the biggest offered by comparable Capesize bulker designs. Mariloula can sail with holds 2, 4, 6 and 8 empty and is especially suitable to load coal and ore cargoes with a maximum density up to 3tonnes/m³. The hatches are closed by side-rolling covers stowing each side of the vessel, with all but those for Nos 1 and 9 holds providing clear openings 15.725m long by 20.40m wide, reduced to 15.725m long by 15.30m for the remainder. No 6 hold is dedicated as a floodable hold with Nos 2, 4 and 8 arranged for partial flooding in port. Water ballast is carried in all the topside wing


SS08 - p71+72.indd 71

tanks, except those in No 9 hold, which serve as oil fuel bunkers along with the bottom wing tanks in that hold. A double skin is provided in way of these bunker tanks for safety purposes and is retained as a void space. All steelwork used in the construction of Mariloula has been prepared in accordance with proven international standards and is painted to PSPC (Performance Standard for Protection Coating) levels to provide a coating life of 15 years. A MAN B&W 6S70MC-C main engine, developing 18,660kW MCR at 87.9rev/min and manufactured by the Doosan Engine Co, has been fitted. This drives the ship at 15.4knots when running at 90% MCR and allowing a 15% sea margin, by means of a 8300mm diameter propeller. Electrical power is generated by three 760kW diesel driven alternators and steam is produced in a 2000kg/h Aalborg boiler. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

Spain Total number of sister ships already completed:............................ Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:....................................... Nil HE willingness of the Vigo-based Barreras shipyard to build to individual designs, has regularly been T recognised in the variety of its products reviewed in

Significant Ships. Its output of ferries is particularly noteworthy, with many fine vessels delivered to domestic operators serving destinations to the southwest of Spain, such as the Canary Islands, or the Balearic Islands to the east. Martín i Soler is the latest example of this type to leave the yard, entering service at the end of 2008 with Eurolineas Maritimas, a company trading under the Balearia brand name and operating a network of routes linking the mainland ports of Barcelona and Denia, with offshore locations such as Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca. This company has recently embarked on a development programme which included placing orders for four new ferries of differing sizes with Barreras. At 24,761gt, Martín i Soler is the largest of the quartet, and will be followed into service prior to May 2009, by two slightly smaller sisters, and a 2900gt specialist vessel. The design features a hull topped with a virtually full length superstructure containing four decks laid out with public rooms and cabins for 1164 passengers and 36 crew. Drivers are catered for separately with 4 x 4 berth cabins arranged on deck 9. Forward and aft facing lounges with panoramic views, video games rooms and a children’s playground are amongst the leisure attractions available to travellers, and open deck space is also provided for recreation. Two double rooms are equipped for disabled passengers, and a lifesaving equipment package to the highest specification includes two RFD marine evacuation systems using vertical chutes, each serving 430 persons, also two 150 person, and two 30 person lifeboats, all supplied by Certasa. Rescue boats are also fitted. Three fixed, and one hoistable, car decks are provided, and these can accommodate vehicles in various combinations, such as 107 cars and 96 trailers (2.90m wide and 16m long) with the car deck hoisted, and 334 cars and 65 trailers with this deck unhoisted.

each 14.50m long x 9.50m wide, designed for the simultaneous passage of 2 x 16.50m long vehicles. A four metre wide bow/ramp door serves the same deck, and a tilting ramp links the main deck with the double bottom. Martín i Soler is powered by a pair of MaK 9M43C main engines, each developing 9000kW MCR at 500rev/min and driving twin CP propellers at 177.2rev/ min, through Reintjes gearboxes for a service speed of 21.40knots. Electric current is derived from two 1300kW Leroy Somer shaft-driven alternators, and three MaK/Leroy Somer diesel sets of 1080kW output each. Two 1000kW thrusters operate at the bow, and a pair of fin stabilisers and an anti-heeling system enhance passenger comfort and assist with stability whilst cargo handling. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

LTHOUGH perhaps better known as a builder of tankers, container ships and bulk carriers, Hyundai A Samho has recently built up a significant list of

references in the car/truck carrier (PCTC) market, and is currently working through a sizeable contract for vessels with a capacity of 8000 vehicles each, for Eukor Car Carriers. Already established as one of the world’s leading specialists in the transport of motor vehicles and other rolling cargo, this Korea-based company is actually part of the Wallenius/Wilhelmsen Group. Eukor was formed only eight years ago following the acquisition, by the two Scandinavian giants, of a 40 per cent stake each in the former car-carrier division of Hyundai Merchant Marine. Eukor now occupies a position as exclusive carrier for Korean car makers Hyundai and Kia, and serves the export requirements of their manufacturing facilities in India and Turkey, as well as in their home country. Morning Linda’s capacity of 8011 RT43-type cars, each occupying 8.4m², is carried on a total of 12 vehicle decks, eight of which are fixed. The remaining four are hoistable and form part of a comprehensive cargo handling package comprised of an angled, starboard

stern-quarter ramp, internal doors and associated hydraulic and electrical operating systems. The main vehicle access is to No 5 deck over the angled ramp, with an alternative entry provided, also on the starboard side, through a door which can be adjusted in height at the hinge to allow either deck 5 or 6 to be served. The hoistable decks are designed to allow a clear height of 6.5m to be obtained in the cargo space, in order that heavy construction equipment and other tall vehicles can be loaded. Hyundai Samho’s parent, Hyundai Heavy Industries, is the manufacturer of the MAN B&W 7S90MC-C design main engine installed in the machinery space, located just aft of midships. Maximum continuous rating of this unit is 14,309kW at 105rev/min and it is directly coupled to a 6700mm diameter FP propeller, also manufactured by Hyundai, which, when the engine is running at 101.4rev/min and developing an NCR of 12,875kW, produces a service speed of 19.60knots. The 2000kg/h oil fired boiler is supplied by KangRim, and the same manufacturer has provided the forced circulating, type ES15DC10M2, exhaust gas scrubbing equipment fitted to the main engine. Electrical supply comes from four alternators, each driven by a HyundaiMAN 1470kW engine, with one set capable of handling stand-still loadings, two operating during manoeuvring and three working for short periods when the 2000kW KTE bow thruster is in use.

L

AST year, Significant Ships recorded details of the first deliveries of LNG carriers of the so-called Q-flex type – much larger than the traditional size of up to around 150,000m³ capacity. These vessels of approximately 210,000m³/216,000m³ marked a key departure in conventional LNG carrier thinking by being powered by twin low-speed diesel engines burning heavy fuel exclusively, as an alternatively to the conventional steam turbine plant normally specified for such tonnage. Part of the reason for the selection of twin screws is the relatively shallow draught of LNG carriers, since the cargo has a low density, and a single large propeller would not be efficiently immersed. All cargo boil-off gas, a normal byproduct of LNG transport, is reliquefied and returned to the cargo tanks instead of being used as boiler fuel in a steam turbine plant. Mozah and her sisters, also a series of generally similar ships from another Korean yard, Daewoo (DSME) – see Al Ghuwairiya in this issue – are extensions of the smaller vessels and, at 266,000m³, are the largest LNG carriers every built, representing a 75% increase in capacity of traditional ship sizes and reflecting an economy of scale philosophy. They are appropriately known as the Q-max type and will load their cargoes at the brand-new Ras Laffan export terminal in Qatar.

Samsung started conceptual design work on these giants as long ago as 2002 in conjunction with energy majors. Work especially concentrated on studies of the cargo tank sloshing forces (the tanks for these ships use GTT Mk III membrane technology), while also ensuring maximum carrying capacity and as satisfactory a service speed as that of smaller ships (19.5knots at design draught, with 85% MCR and 21% sea margin). Samsung claims that its series has the smallest main dimensions but the largest carrying capacity compared with other designs. The hull structures are designed for a 40 year fatigue life. The twin diesel engines chosen to power this series are again from MAN B&W’s S70ME-C series, but with seven cylinders compared with six on the Q-flex class. Each engine, built under licence by Doosan, develops 18,900kW at 86.2rev/min and drives a five-bladed FP propeller designed by Samsung (five blades were shown to reduce pulsing by around 30% compared with a four-bladed design). The inward-turning propellers were cast in Germany by Mecklenburger Metallguss (MMG), and the propeller shafts are enclosed in skegs. Although the two-stroke engines burn heavy fuel exclusively, MAN has developed technology for gas burning on two-stroke engines but this has not yet been applied to marine models. A high level of vibration damping is included, so there are no barred speed ranges. Electrical supplies come from four Nishishiba alternators driven by STX-MAN 9L32/40 medium speed engines each developing 4500kW at 720rev/min. Much of the electrical output is consumed by the Cryostar LNG reliquefaction compressors but other users are the 10 Ebara centrifugal single stage submerged cargo pumps – two in each tank; each has a capacity of 1400m3/h at 165 mlc. Should the reliquefaction plant fail for any reason, a gas combustion unit will take over to avoid venting hydrocarbons. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

MSC IVANA: Hyundai giant box-ship just misses top spot Shipbuilder:.............Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd, Korea Vessel’s name:...................................MSC Ivana Hull number:................................................1942 IMO number:.........................................9398371 Owner/operator:.........Mediterranean Shipping Co SA (MSC), Switzerland Designer:.................Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd, Korea Model test establishment used:............Hyundai Maritime Research Institute (HMRI), Korea Flag: ...................................................... Panama Total number of sister ships already completed:............................ Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................4 OUNDED in Italy in 1970, MSC is now considered to be the second largest container ship line in the F world, operating a fleet of more than 300 vessels of this

type (and some cruiser liners) from a head office in Switzerland. A range of branches worldwide allows it to provide swift movement of cargo through dedicated transhipment hubs, using a single bill of lading. Now added to this colossal fleet is MSC Ivana, just marginally short of claiming to be ‘the largest container ship in the world’ (Emma Maersk, Significant Ships of 2006, at the time of writing), in terms of TEU capacity, with an intake of 11,312TEU. Hyundai’s previous record breaker, Cosco Asia (Significant Ships of 2007) could accommodate 10,050TEU and to gain space for the additional loading, its designers have increased both length and depth of that ship, but retaining the same beam. The hull is double skinned, with the resulting side and bottom spaces designated for carrying water ballast and bunkers. One wing tank port and starboard is used for anti-heeling purposes during cargo handling. The resulting configuration is that of a ship with ten holds, eight of which are positioned forward of the engineroom. No forecastle is fitted and the flush deck profile is relieved only by the tall superstructure incorporating a central funnel, built above the machinery space, and accommodating 31 officers and crew, and a six-man Suez crew. Thirty-four TEU bays are available in the forward holds and on the deck above, with 10 more arranged aft. A maximum of 16 rows and 11 tiers, holding 5844TEU, can be carried below deck, with 5468 stowed in 18 rows/8 tiers high on the hatchcovers and deck space right aft. Reefer sockets catering for 960FEU are provided, and a mechanical ventilation system gives two air changes every hour in the holds. The vessel is arranged to carry 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers, and 40ft cell guides are installed in the holds, with athwartship lashing bridges on deck. The hatches are closed by MacGregor ‘lift away’ pontoon covers manufactured by the shipbuilder: each panel is designed to weigh less than 40tonnes to facilitate handling by shore cranes. Hyundai has retained the same size main engine for MSC Ivana as for the earlier 10,050TEU vessel, with its

machinery division supplying a MAN B&W 12K98ME unit, delivering an MCR of 68,640kW at 94rev/min, to a six-blade, fixed pitch propeller incorporating raked tips to reduce possible cavitation. Service speed at 90% MCR and allowing a 15% sea margin is 24.8knots, one knot less than that achieved by Cosco Asia. Assisting with this performance, and providing durability of the outside shell, is an application of tin-free, self-polishing, antifouling paint. Electrical requirements are served by five large dieseldriven alternator sets, supplied complete by Hyundai, with each producing 2500kW at 720rev/min. Steam generation comes from two KangRim boilers, one oil fired and one exhaust gas burning, each producing six tonnes/h. Two 2000kW bow thrusters, another product of the Hyundai group, are fitted to enhance manoeuvrability, and the rudder is of the twisted leading edge type. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

SC Poesia is the third of four Musica class cruise liners (others are MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra and the still to be delivered MSC Magnifica), all ordered by MSC from the former Alstom Atlantique shipyard at St Nazaire, but completed by its successor company, Aker Yards France, today part of STX Europe. It is Mediterranean Shipping’s intention to employ the new vessel in the European market, and for its first year in service it will be based on Venice, operating seven night cruises in eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic waters. Environmental issues have been to the fore in the formulation of the vessel’s design, and Bureau Veritas ‘Clean-Sea 2’ and ‘Clean-Air’ notations have been assigned, while ISO 14001 and ‘Venice Blue Flag’ agreements complied with. Exhaust emissions have been reduced to less than 1.5%, and a monitoring system is installed to control the quantity of sulphur produced during combustion. All waste is separated and, where possible, put ashore for recycling at ports of call. A garbage and food waste disposal installation is fitted, and two incinerators, equipped with exhaust and odour neutralising systems, process burnable items; this plant has been engineered by the Norwegian specialist, Scanship. It is also understood that MSC Poesia is the first newbuilding cruise liner to use International Paint’s recently introduced Intersleek 900 foul release hull coating which not only has its own environmental properties, but contributes to reduced exhaust emission and fuel economy, by virtue of its improved smoothness qualities, which reduce resistance. A service speed of 23knots is obtained from a dieselelectric power system based on five Wärtsilä 16V38B main engines, spread over two rooms (three in one and

two in the other). Each of these engines is coupled to an 11kV brushless alternator supplying energy to hotel services, and two variable speed propulsion motors which, in turn, supply 35MW to drive shaft lines connected to the fixed pitch propellers. Steam is produced in two oil fired boilers and five exhaust gas units, and these feed the oil fuel heating systems, domestic hot water, air conditioning requirements, swimming pool heating, and also service the two 650m³/day fresh water generators. A reverse osmosis plant is also installed and produces another 300m³/day of fresh water. MSC Poesia is laid out with 17 decks, nine of which offer facilities for the maximum 3323 passengers accommodated in 1275 dedicated cabins. Of these, 400 are ‘deluxe’ category, 16 ‘special’ and 390 ‘standard type. All of these have balconies, and range alongside an additional 171 ‘outside’ rooms and 263 ‘inside’. Seventeen cabins are available for disabled travellers. The total number of berths provided includes 739 recessed ceiling Pullmans and 34 sofas. All the decks are identified with the name of a famous Italian poet, or other notable, and offer the usual cruiseship amenities to the public. These include a shopping centre, 1240-seat theatre spread between decks 5 and 7, and a 760-seat main restaurant. Other eating and drinking facilities are available in an 850 seat cafeteria, wine bars, an internet café and sushi bar. The main lounge seats 600 and a casino can accommodate 250 punters. A disco caters for 350 passengers and there are children’s entertainment, leisure and fitness areas, swimming pools, jacuzzis and open deck spaces. A comprehensive medical suite is positioned on deck 5 and offers X-ray and intensive care treatment facilities and a mortuary. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

AEHAN Shipbuilding is one of the ‘new kids on the block’ of Korean mainstream shipbuilding, opening its first building dock at Haenam as recently as August 2007, and already well on the way to completing a second dock, scheduled to come into use in 2009. A second block-factory came on stream in July, and is planned to bring the company’s steel output up to 250,000tonnes annually. Despite expert predictions of a serious downturn in Capesize bulker demand, Daehan has decided to concentrate on building only this type of vessel for the foreseeable future, rather than become involved with more sophisticated tonnage, and already 43 units have been ordered. Nevertheless, plans are in hand to add VLCCs, Aframax tankers, large ore carriers and container ships to its references in due course. The company is setting out its stall on quality and delivery time, and the fact that Mystic, as the yard’s first project, was delivered to its Norwegian owner within schedule is a matter of respect. Basically, the design has been laid out conforming to the parameters of similar Capesize bulkers, but, unlike others featured in this review, it has a double skin hull, albeit with the side space formed only by a narrow common trunk linking top and bottom wing ballast tanks. It also presents a higher than usual forecastle erection, affording greater protection to the foremost of the nine holds. Of these, number 6 is designated as a floodable hold, with numbers 2, 4 and 8 capable of partial flooding in port. All the holds are closed by side rolling covers supplied by MacGregor, with the panels stowing either side of the deck openings when not in use. As noted above, the top and bottom wing tanks (except for the

top tanks in No 9 hold which carry oil fuel), serve as ballast tanks, with the bottom wings common with double bottom compartments. Daehan is particularly concerned to ensure that its designs are eco-friendly and comply with safety requirements, and in this regard classification has been carried out by Det Norske Veritas in accordance with IACS’ Common Structure Rules (CSR). The machinery installation selected by the builder for this first delivery has been supplied by the Doosan Engine Co, itself a relative newcomer to the Korean shipbuilding scene, although its origins lie with mergers of existing companies rather than starting from scratch. The main engine fitted to Mystic comes from the MAN B&W stable and is a unit of the popular 6S70MC-C design developing 18,600kW at 91rev/ min. Operating at 90% of this MCR rating, it produces a service speed of 15.40knots from a 8200mm diameter, fixed pitch propeller supplied from Japan by the Nakashima Propeller Co. Electrical requirements are served from three diesel-driven alternator sets supplied as part of a Wärtsilä AuxPac package, and steam is delivered by an Aalborg Mission 2000kg/h boiler.

NAVIGATOR ARIES: HMD's 20,800m³-class LPG/NH /VCM tanker 3

Shipbuilder:... Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co Ltd (HMD), Korea Vessel's name:......................... Navigator Aries Hull number:................................................8005 IMO number:.........................................9403762 Owner/operator:.............. Navigator Aries LLC, Marshall Islands/Navigator Gas Transport Plc /Zodiac Maritime Agencies, UK Designer: . ... Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co Ltd, Korea Flag: .................................................. Singapore Total number of sister ships already completed:...............................1 Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................5 T the same time as it has been filling its order book with large numbers of product tanker contracts, A HMD has, over recent years, been looking to expand its

newbuilding range by diversifying into alternative markets and adding such varied types as bulk carriers, ro-ro vessels, container ships and vehicle carriers to its portfolio. Navigator Aries represents another example of this policy, namely a class of LPG tanker of approximately 24,000dwt, which has already gained success in the small-scale gas distribution market. Vessels of this size generally employ containment systems using IMO Type C cargo tanks of either cylindrical or bi-lobe design, and the subject vessel is laid out to suit the latter type, featuring a cargo space divided into four holds, each accommodating an independent, self supporting 'spectacle-shaped' tank, divided by a centreline bulkhead into port and starboard sections. Wing tanks top and bottom (the latter combined with centrally divided double bottom tanks), provide water ballast capacity and also form part of a very necessary cargo tank support system. In addition to the bi-lobe tanks, a separate cylindrical cargo tank is located on the fore deck. A compressor and motor room on the upper deck serves Type 2G semi-refrigerated cargoes of oSG 0.972 carried at a minimum temperature of -48 C. These include commodities such as propane, butane, butylene, propylene, anhydrous ammonia, butadiene and VCM, which are handled by midships manifolds P&S, using two Hamworthy-Svanehøj 250m³/h deepwell pumps fitted P&S in each tank. Oil fuel bunker tanks are located in two positions: aft of the fore peak bulkhead and forward of the engineroom, and are separated from the outside shell for safety purposes.

The Hyundai engineering division has supplied the main and auxiliary machinery for Navigator Aries, the former comprising a MAN B&W 6S46MC-C unit developing 7860kW at 129rev/min and directly coupled to a fixed pitch propeller to give a service speed of 16knots when running at 90% MCR. To drive the three alternator sets (also manufactured by Hyundai Heavy Industries), engines of the MAN 5H21/31 type are used. Each of these develops 790kW at 720rev/min, whilst the alternators each produce 750kW of electrical power. A KangRim boiler supplies 2500kg/h of steam. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

type, built by the Hyundai machinery works, and developing an MCR of 62,810kW when running at 104rev/min. At 83.2% of this output and allowing a 20% sea margin, a service speed of 25knots is achieved, using a six-bladed 9500mm diameter propeller which, like the electrical part of the four diesel-driven alternator sets installed, has also come from the Hyundai stable. Prime movers for the latter units have been supplied by Yanmar, and each supplies 2300kW to meet the ship’s power demands, including those of a 3000kW Kawasaki bow thruster. The rudder design features an optimum section profile, and the propeller is tip-raked to reduce possible cavitation. For durability, and to improve resistance qualities, a tin-free, self polishing antifouling paint and an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system has been applied to the hull.

UST seven years ago, Significant Ships of 2001 reported the delivery of the ‘world’s largest container ship’, the 6802TEU P&O Nedlloyd Stuyvesant, from the Hyundai shipyard at Ulsan. In this issue we present a sister ship, but no sign of that ‘largest’ accolade this time for, on another page we find Hyundai offering an 11,312TEU container liner design, and, of course, in 2006 Emma Maersk surpassed all with a reported 11,500 box-intake – and there are even larger vessels in the offing, demonstrating an apparent almost insatiable demand worldwide for this form of transport. Hyundai’s claim is that its containership designs feature a wider beam, which ensures a better stability when loading and discharging at international terminals (a feature enhanced by the fitting of anti-heeling tanks and pumps). It is also understood that superior propulsion efficiency is obtained at the various draughts resulting from the loading scheme. This particular design has proved amenable to slight variations of the hold layout, forward and aft of the engineroom, and NYK Theseus features a double skin/single deck arrangement with seven of its eight holds forward of that position, and one aft, equating to 28 TEU bays forward and 8 aft, carried on the MacGregor lift-away, three panel hatch covers which close the holds, and on the open deck area right aft. A maximum 14 rows/9 tiers of containers can be stowed in the holds and 16 rows/8tiers on deck, with facilities for loading 20ft, 40ft and 45ft sizes. Fixed cell guides are arranged in the holds for FEU, and athwartship lashing bridges are provided so that containers carried on hatch covers and stools on the upper deck can be securely stowed. A mechanical ventilation system delivers two air changes each hour to the cargo holds, and 460 reefer plugs are positioned to serve 40ft boxes. Whereas the 2001-built P&O Nedlloyd Stuyvesant was fitted with a machinery installation based on a Sulzer 12RTA96C main engine, other examples of this design have included various MAN B&W models in their enginerooms. For NYK Theseus, choice has fallen on the 11K98ME-C

Cyprus Total number of sister ships already completed:............................ Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................2 ULCANO Shipyard in north western Spain is in the process of completing three special products tankers, V claimed to be the first in the world of this type to be

classed with a ‘DEICE’ notation. The surveying classification society administering this award is Det Norske Veritas, and it has also granted the vessels 1A Super ice class status. Designed to operate in Arctic waters, Arkhangelsk, and sisters Murmansk and Provodino, are capable of navigating through an ice depth of more than one metre, and are the largest chemical tankers yet built in the Vigo yard. Their special features include a sophisticated cargo heating system, and equipment installed to prevent ice forming, and to de-ice quickly. The double skin hull is configured with a forecastle, superstructure aft, and a cut-away icebreaker bow. The cargo space is divided by a centreline, and transverse bulkheads of troughed construction, into 12 cargo and two slop tanks, arranged to handle IMO II and III grade chemicals using Marflex deepwell pumps in each tank. Each has a capacity of 500m³/h, and two similar 200m³/h pumps serve the slop tanks. Discharge is via a midships manifold port and starboard. Three boilers provide steam for heating systems. Vulcano aims to establish a prominent position in European shipbuilding with this prototype design, and points to the challenge presented by the project, which has necessitated changing the criteria of design, material systems and equipment, as a benchmark for its ability. The stringent requirements of the Russian flag concerning vibration and acoustic levels have been complied with, particularly in accommodation and crew public spaces, and in the wheelhouse, where OMI acceptable levels of 60 > 65dB(A) have been exceeded, and a Russian limit of 45dB(A) achieved. Cargo control is carried out from a central station and includes an innovative automatic system which, allows unloading to be regulated according to discharge pressures. Arkhangelsk has been fitted with a MAN 9L48/60

four-stroke main engine developing 10,800kW. A Flender/Navilux gearbox reduces engine speed to 110rev/min, to drive a Rolls-Royce 6100mm diameter CP propeller to give a service speed of 15knots at 85% MCR. A shaft alternator is operated from a PTO and produces 1250kW when running at 1000rev/min. Three alternator sets powered by MAN 6L21/31 diesel engines are also fitted. Manoeuvring is assisted by a Rolls-Royce 1000kW bow thruster, whilst the increasing influence of this British/Norwegian supplier, already demonstrated in other reviews in this publication, is exhibited by its supply also of the deck machinery.

SAFMARINE NGAMI: improved 2500TEU box ship from Stralsund Shipbuilder:..........Volkswerft Stralsund GmbH, Germany Hull number:................................................... 446 IMO number:.......................................... 9356074 Owner/operator:................Safmarine Container Lines NV, Belgium Designer:..............Volkswerft Stralsund GmbH, Germany Model test establishment used:..Hamburg Ship Model Basin, Germany Flag: .......................................................Belgium Total number of sister ships already completed:................................ 4 Total number of sister ships still on order:........................................... 5 Illustration shows sister vessel Safmarine Nile

AFMARINE Container Lines was formed in 1996 as a result of a merger between the South African SMarine Corporation, that country's premier shipowner

(founded in 1946), and the Belgium company CMB Transport. Control of the new company passed to the AP Møller Group in 1999, soon after the giant Danish conglomerate had acquired Volkswerft Stralsund from its German owner, to work alongside its own Odense Shipyard. However, it was sold again in 2007 to become one of four shipyards operated by the German Hegemann Group. Safmarine Ngami is an improved version of Volkswerft Stralsund's VWS2500 design container ship, and is laid out with a double skin hull surmounted by a long forecastle, through which a cargo hatch gives access to the forward half of No 1 hold, and a short poop aft, which forms the base for a narrow seven-tier accommodation block. The machinery, above which are three upper deck container bays, is positioned aft of a cargo section containing five holds with tweendecks. Careful calculations of longitudinal and buckling strength were made, particular in hatch corner and deeptank areas; vibration possibilities were also analysed considerably. The side tanks in the double-hull space are designated for water ballast, with No 4 (P&S) compartments linked to a Hoppe/BMT system utilising a 600m³/h pump to compensate for heel during container handling. Pontoon covers close the 10 hatches, and container cellguides are fitted in holds, which are provided with independent mechanical ventilation systems. Holds 2 to 5 can load 118FEU refrigerated containers, 114 of which are connected to a fresh water cooling system, and four are air cooled. In addition, reefer sockets on deck serve 234FEU and 16TEU, carried in the first and second tiers; all sockets are fitted with a PCT monitoring device. The vessel is also equipped for the transport of dangerous goods to SOLAS II-2, Reg

19, on deck and in the holds. Oil fuel bunkers are positioned between holds 1 and 2; 3 and 4 and 4 and 5, and structure in these locations has been pre-prepared for the future fitting of three cargo cranes. An unusual inclusion, for a vessel constructed in a European shipyard, is a main engine built in Korea by the Doosan Engine Co - partly a reflection of the difficulties that yards worldwide currently have in sourcing major components in a booming newbuilding market (hatch cover fabrication was also subcontracted to a Chinese company). The engine is a MAN B&W 7L70ME-C Mk 7 unit having a MCR output of 21,770kW at 104rev/min. At 85% of this output and allowing a 15% sea margin, the service speed is 21.50knots. Electrical power is supplied from two 1944kW, and one 1296kW, diesel alternator sets, running at 720rev/ min. Safmarine Ngami is designed as a 'one-fuel-ship' for main and auxiliary engine use, and as well as having normal HFO storage tanks, is fitted with separate tanks for storage of low sulphur heavy fuel oil for use in newly introduced SECA (sulphur emission control area) waters. The 'trade mark' Safmarine white hull paintwork results from an application of epoxy resin paint, sealed with polyurethane, whilst underwater areas are coated with two coats of ice-resistant paint. Antifouling protection is afforded by two coats of self-polishing silicate acrylate copolymer. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

SECOND OCEAN: Hanjin-built 6572TEU box ship for Iranian owner Shipbuilder:............ Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co Ltd, Korea Vessel’s name:............................Second Ocean Hull number:.............................................. N-181 IMO number:.........................................9349588 Owner/operator:... Second Ocean GmbH & Co Ltd, -/Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), Iran Designer:....................Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co Ltd, Korea Model test establishment used: ...... Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute (MOERI), Korea Flag: ...........................................................Malta Total number of sister ships already completed:...............................1 Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................3 HIS second representative of Hanjin’s 2008 output is T a product of the company’s headquarters shipyard at Pusan in south eastern Korea, a yard which has tended to

specialise in building container ships in recent years, some of which were fabricated in two halves and joined together afloat. Limitations to the use of this strategy played a part in the decision to open the Subic Bay facility (see Argolikos), which has allowed Hanjin to re-orientate operations at its Korean base where, it is understood, the intention is to focus on more specialised tonnage in the future. Second Ocean conforms to a conventional containership design, but demonstrates once more how builders and owners can find ways and means of suggesting yet more boxes can be carried on an existing hull. In Significant Ships of 2006, Maersk Kowloon, virtually a sister to Second Ocean, was reviewed, but officially loading only 6160TEU compared with the 6572 units which, it is claimed, can be carried on this later product. According to the shipbuilder’s published data, an additional tier of boxes can now be stowed on deck, and on the lift-away MacGregor pontoon-type hatchcovers. This accounts for 200TEU of the increase, with another 200 units added to the hold capacity. A further change from Maersk Kowloon is that whilst that vessel adopted a hold-cooling system to service its complement of 508 refrigerated FEU, this new version is fitted with 500 reefer plugs on deck. The cargo space contains six holds surrounded by a double hull/double bottom arrangement offering tanks for water ballast and fuel; however, the disposition of these has been changed somewhat compared with the Maersk ship, reducing ballast and fuel capacities by around 1000m³ each. Accommodation is provided in a tall, slim deckhouse built over the machinery space in the ‘three-quarter aft’ position, for 13 officers and 12 crew, with additional space available for a Suez Canal or repair crew. Lifesaving equipment consists of conventional 28 person totally enclosed lifeboats and rescue craft.

The main engine is a Doosan-Wärtsilä (Sulzer) 10RTA96C unit having an MCR rating of 57,200kW at 102rev/min. At 90% of this power and allowing a 15% sea margin, service speed is 25.60knots. Total electrical capacity is similar to that provided for Maersk Kowloon; however, in this case it is generated by four Yanmar/Nishishiba 2100kW alternator sets instead of three 2800kW machines in the earlier vessel. Steam is generated in two oil-fired boilers and an exhaust gas economiser. Manoeuvring and course keeping are assisted by a Kawasaki 2000kW bow thruster, and a pair of fin stabilisers, as well as an anti-heeling system, is fitted. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

YUNDAI Samho Heavy Industries’ shipbuilding H history began in 1992, when construction of the Samho ‘greenfield’ yard commenced for Halla

Engineering & Heavy Industries as a replacement for its smaller site at Inchon, raising high hopes of industrial development for the local community in south west Korea. By 2001, however, it was attracting the attention of other builders as it underwent a model case of restructuring following financial difficulties, aimed at returning the company into ‘the black’. Following this, in 2002, Samho became a member of the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group and, using its own experience and technology, alongside that of its parent, the company has since earned a reputation building large merchant ships, including tankers, container ships and bulk carriers. Particularly evident in the company’s portfolio are its Suezmax tanker designs, with 33 vessels of this type completed and another 30 on order. Sepid is an example of one of these, part of a contract for four sisters placed by the Iranian national tanker operator, and constructed to the requirements of Det Norske Veritas. Some 38% higher tensile steel has been used in the hull, which features a double skin layout with side tanks joined with centrally divided double bottom compartments, to form common water ballast tanks surrounding a space split by centreline and transverse bulkheads, into six pairs of cargo tanks and two slop tanks, the latter positioned just forward of the machinery room. The hull is single decked without a forecastle, but given some weather protection at the bow by a straightline sheer, and by incorporating the bulwark line into the main hull. Cargo handling uses three 4000m³/h Shinko, steam

driven pumps, together capable of maintaining a discharge rate of 8400m³/h. Loading rate is 17,000m³/h and three grades of oil can be worked simultaneously through a two-valve segregation system. All the tanks are fitted with radar-type level gauges, and fixed gas warning devices monitor hydrocarbon gas levels in oil tanks, pump room and ballast spaces, with all systems remotely controlled. The main engine is a Hyundai-MAN B&W 6S70MC-C unit developing 18,860kW MCR at 91rev/ min and 16,794kW at 87.9rev/min NCR. Allowing a 15% sea margin, the service speed is 15.4knots. Electrical supply comes from three diesel alternator sets each rated at 1120kW and based on Hyundai’s own design HiMSEN engine, and steam is generated in two 35tonnes/h oil fired boilers and an exhaust gas economiser. Vibration problems are reduced by fitting a vortex generator, and by local reinforcement of the hull and deckhouse. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

SEVEN SEAS: flexible pipelayer with J-lay facility Shipbuilder:.........................Merwede Shipyard (IHC Merwede Group), The Netherlands Vessel’s name:................................ Seven Seas Hull number:................................................. 710 IMO number:........................................ 9384760 Owner/operator:......Subsea 7 Ltd, UK/Subsea 7 Vessel Management, Norway Designer:............................Merwede Shipyard, The Netherlands Model test establishment used:.............MARIN, The Netherlands Flag: ........................................Isle of Man (UK) Total number of sister ships already completed:....One (near sister) Total number of sister ships still on order:.......................................Nil N Significant Ships 2007 we included a review of the offshore construction vessel, Seven Oceans, and Ireferred to a near-sister, then under construction, which

would include the same flexible pipelaying facilities, but using an alternative a J-Lay capability. That vessel, Seven Seas, is now in service and displays the interesting way in which builder and owner decided to reduce the amount of re-engineering which developing a new design would have incurred, by retaining the fore and aft ends of the Seven Oceans design (where most of the marine equipment is located) and introducing a new mid-body meeting the requirements for the new vessel’s J-Lay operations. The primary field of activity is expected to be the subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) sector, especially in the so-called Atlantic triangle: US Gulf, West Africa and Brazil. J-Lay is being increasingly used in deepwater fields for trunk lines in order to avoid stressing the pipe. The technique requires welding and coating stations to be provided around the onboard tower/ramp, to process pipe before it is fed into the ramp and laid on the seabed in a ‘J-shaped’ configuration. The coating station is positioned in the moonpool area (one of the special features introduced as part of the new mid-body configuration), and this was subjected to extensive testing at MARIN to determine its possible effect on the hydrodynamics of the vessel. Sliding hatches close off the moonpool at deck level, and this can also be partially closed at the bottom during transit, by means of a hinged door, which then functions as a wave dampening feature when the moonpool is opened. The vertical lay tower/ramp is positioned aft of the ROV hangar, and is equipped with two 181tonne tensioners, a 113tonne A&R winch and a 154tonne knuckle boom crane. Storage reels for the A&R system, together with a 400tonne offshore mast crane and other pipelaying ancillaries, are located forward of the moonpool, and a 40tonne knuckle boom crane, positioned at midships on Seven Oceans, has been

moved to the starboard side, aft. A hold aft of the moonpool contains two 16m diameter carousels, and a 1200m² work area above, with a deck load capacity of 10tonnes/m² is available. This can also accommodate a 24m diameter/3000tonne capacity carousel. Supply of most of the pipelaying equipment has been in the hands of the Dutch specialist, Huisman-Itrec. Seven Seas employs the same 6.6kV integrated power generation and propulsion system as its sister. Primary power is supplied to three 2950kW azimuthing thrusters aft, and two 2400kW retractable azimuthing thrusters forward. A 2200kW tunnel-type thruster is also installed at the bow. The three aft units are capable of driving the ship at a speed in excess of 14knots. Dynamic positioning is installed to Lloyd’s Register DP2 requirements, with some aspects of the higher DP3 notation included, along with a facility to upgrade quickly and fully to that standard.

HE builder of this huge class of CV1200 feeder container ships, Zhejiang Ouhua, on the island of T Zhoushan not far from Shanghai, is a typical example

of the new breed of greenfield Chinese sites: it is owned by a private company not affiliated with any of the large state-controlled groups, and only started up in 2004. Actual civil engineering work began in May 2005, and the first ship, the lead ship of this series, was delivered only 18 months later! Assistance with the yard’s layout and design was provided by the German consultancy, Ingenieurtechnik und Maschinenabau. In the middle of 2008, a total of 80 ships were on order, including 36 of the CV1200 type which have already delivered or are still to be assembled; all are being classed with Germanischer Lloyd. Vessels on order today include container ships of 5300TEU. Stadt Gotha, designed by the German consultancy, Neptun-Stahlkonstruktions, is typical of many smaller types of container ship, being of a useful size for the feeder trades, with two jib cranes positioned on the centreline. These were supplied by NMF and are each capable to lifting 45tonnes at 26.5m outreach. Four cargo holds, with cell guides, are provided, with fuel stored in tanks between two of the spaces. Extra deck cargo space is available above the engineroom, and here lashing bridges reaching up to four container tiers are installed for cargo security. A large breakwater is installed on the forecastle. There is no hold refrigeration system but sockets are provided for 390 refrigerated boxes, both in the holds and on deck. A medium speed engine propulsion plant has been supplied from Germany. This comprises an MAN 8L58/64CD main engine of 11,200kW output at 428rev/min, which drives a Mecklenburger Metallguss CP propeller through a Renk RSV-1060 reduction

gearbox. Propeller speed is 126rev/min. A streamlined propeller boss and a rudder bulb will help to enhance propulsion efficiency. Manoeuvring operations are assisted by a 800kW Wärtsilä bow thruster. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

STX KOLT: Hanjin delivers its second LNG tanker to STX ship operating arm Shipbuilder:............ Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co Ltd, Korea Vessel’s name:......................................STX Kolt Hull number:..............................................

Panama Total number of sister ships already completed:................................Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................1 WO important Korean industrial groups have T come together to produce this LNG tanker for operation on behalf of Korean energy supplier KOGAS

– the energetic and ambitious STX shipping, shipbuilding and engineering concern, and leading shipbuilder, Hanjin. It is STX’s substantial shipping arm which took operating delivery of the 153,000m STX Kolt in December from Hanjin, another builder seeking to expand its interests by opening facilities in the Philippines (see Argolikos), and recently seeking to take advantage of an upturn in the LNG tanker market. This is only the second LNG tanker completed by Hanjin’s city yard in the centre of Busan, following the smaller Hanjin Pyeong Taek (presented in Significant Ships of 1995), and the design follows the now established layout of a membrane-type ship, presenting a double skin hull within which there are four cargo tanks, separated from each other by cofferdams, and extending above the upper deck to form a fore and aft trunk. Top and bottom wing tanks are arranged and serve as water ballast spaces. They also provide supports for the cargo tanks, which have been constructed to the GTT Mk III containment system (a change from the Gaz Transport NO96-2 technology on the earlier vessel). Tanks are insulated to satisfy the requirements of a daily boil-off rate of 0.15% by volume of total cargo, part of which is used as fuel. Despite the recent move towards diesel propulsion for this type of vessel, Hanjin Shipbuilding has remained faithful to the steam turbine for STX Kolt, fitting a well tested Kawasaki UA-400 cross-compound, direct reversible, impulse-type unit, developing 29,200kW (39,800shp), to drive a 6500mm fixed pitch propeller via a tandem articulated gearbox. It is however, significant to record that the sister ship will feature a dual fuel diesel-electric propulsion plant. Two steam-turbine driven alternators, also one powered by a diesel engine, supply electrical requirements, and two main 68,000kg/h boilers are installed. Kawasaki has also supplied a 2100kW bow thruster. Cargo handling is carried out by eight sets of Shinko 1800m³/h, electric submerged pumps, with 3

four spray/stripping pumps and an emergency unit also supplied. Features of the design are that the vessel is fully equipped for, and has ship-shore compatibility with, ports in Korea, Singapore, Japan, Yemen, Qatar and Oman. It also has an air draught (50.40m) which allows navigation to the US terminal at Lake Charles. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

SUNFLOWER PEARL: energy saving Japanese ro-pax ferry Shipbuilder:.. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) (Shimonoseki yard), Japan Vessel’s name:..........................Sunflower Pearl Hull number:................................................1125 IMO number:.........................................9376347 Owner/operator:...........Diamond Ferry Co Ltd, Japan Designer:............................... Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Japan Model test establishment used:.. MHI Nagasaki R&D Centre, Japan Flag: ......................................................... Japan Total number of sister ships already completed:...............................1 Total number of sister ships still on order:....................................... Nil Pearl has been designed and built by Mitsubishi at its Shimonoseki works – well known for StheUNFLOWER construction of many ferries – for service on

Diamond Ferry’s Setonaikai route between Kobe and Oita, where she will run alongside sister ship Sunflower Gold, delivered by MHI in 2007. The external profile is similar to that of many Japanese domestic ferries, with an almost full length superstructure, and a machinery space positioned three-quarters aft. This space houses an installation based on twin SEMTPielstick 12PC2-6B medium speed diesel engines, each developing 9000kW at 600rev/min. The engines were constructed by the JFE Engineering Corporation, a company formed in 2002 from the union of NKK (an established Pielstick licensee) and Kawasaki Steel Corp. Japan remains probably the only bastion of the once widely known Pielstick marque in merchant ships, where they are still specified for ferry propulsion. A twin input/single output Hitachi-Nico gearbox reduces engine speed to 145rev/min, to drive a CP propeller with blades which are highly skewed in order to reduce propeller surface force. This arrangement develops a service speed at 85% full power of 23.2knots. Two Nishishiba shaft-driven alternators are fitted: one producing 1350kW, the other 1800kW, and two Daihatsu/Nishishiba diesel sets of 1200kW output are also installed. The propulsion system adopted provides essential redundancy as well as being fuel efficient and reducing CO emissions. Assisting the main engines, particularly in port manoeuvres, are one 1250kW bow tunnel thruster and the very unusual number of three 550kW stern tunnel thrusters. A double-hull configuration enables oil fuel tanks to be positioned to reduce the risk involving oil pollution. Freight vehicle capacity has been increased by 40% over previous vessels on this route, with additional car spaces provided below the main deck (No 3) to give a total of 75 passenger carrying vehicles. A maximum of 147 freight carrying trucks and trailers can also be carried. Access is through bow and stern door/ramps, a starboard stern-quarter door at No 3 deck, and two shore ramp 2

ways at No 4 deck. Inboard ramps, including a tiltable unit, allow movement between decks. Accommodation is provided for a total of 748 passengers, with some 480 occupying 223 cabins arranged for single, double and four-berth use, including deluxe versions with verandahs and others where pets can accompany their owners. The usual array of public rooms is available, such as restaurants, saloon, promenade, children’s facilities, games corner and shops. Particularly notable is the adoption of the ‘Japanese barrier-free rule’ which ensures that all passengers, including disabled, can move safely and easily onboard. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

TRINITY ARROW: Imabari Group delivers its first LNG carrier Shipbuilder:..........Imabari Shipbuilding Co Ltd (Koyo Dockyard), Japan Vessel's name:...............................Trinity Arrow Hull number:................................................. 2258 IMO number:......................................... .9319404 Owner/operator:.....Cypress Maritime (Panama SA, Panama/K Line LNG Shipping UK Ltd, UK Designer:..................................... Imabari Group (Koyo Dockyard), Japan Model test establishment used:..... Shipbuilding Research Centre of Japan, Japan Flag: ...................................................... .Panama Total number of sister ships already completed:..............................Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:.......................................... .2 Shipbuilding Group's first LNG tanker is understood to be the largest capacity vessel of this ItypeMABARI yet built in Japan. Although conforming to the

traditional 'membrane-type' gas tanker layout with four cargo spaces, each containing an independent trapezoidal cargo tank which extends into a trunk above the upper deck, the design is unusual: in a departure from the norm, No 1 tank is of horizontally trapezoidal shape. It is claimed that this is the first time the arrangement has been used, and that it brings benefits of increased cargo capacity and, by virtue of its shape, allows an improved hull form to be developed, leading to better propulsive performance and reduced fuel consumption. Because Trinity Arrow is intended for worldwide trading rather than long term operation on a specific route, Imabari sought to ensure compatability with most major LNG terminals in its design. This features a complete double-hull structure with cargo tank divisional bulkheads forming cofferdams heated by circulating glycol water to keep the temperature above +5OC, to suit the physical properties of the steel, in accordance with the IGC code. A GTT Mk III cargo containment system has been adopted. This has a primary barrier of 1.2mm SUS membrane with orthogonal corrugations, and a secondary barrier of Triplex membrane, sandwiched between first and second glass fibre reinforced polyurethane foam layers. The insulation has a total thickness of 270mm, which allows an LNG boil off less than 0.15% each day to be maintained during a voyage. Each cargo tank is fitted with two 1700m³/h Shinko submerged cargo pumps, and one 50m³/h cargo stripping/spray pump. A further cargo pump of 550m³/h is provided for emergency use. Cargo control is carried out from the bridge, allowing full observation and monitoring of all operations, which are handled through port and starboard, midship manifolds. An automatic ballast exchange system is installed for use at sea, taking into consideration the strength, stability and safety aspects of the procedure, in accordance with IMO requirement A868(20). As is the current trend, separate bunker tanks are provided for holding low-sulphur fuel,

for use in sulphur emission control areas (SECAs). Trinity Arrow is fitted with a Kawasaki UA-400 turbine, supplied with steam from two water tube boilers arranged to burn heavy oil and boil-off gas. This installation develops a maximum continuous rating of 29,420kW at 81rev/min, and drives a fixed pitch propeller through a double-reduction, tandem articulated gearbox integrated with the main turbine, for a service speed of 19.50knots when running at 80% full power. Three Nishishiba 3250kW alternators are fitted, two driven by Shinko steam turbine prime movers, and one connected to a Yanmar diesel engine, to satisfy electrical requirements.

VENTURA: new flagship for P&O Cruises Shipbuilder:.............Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani SpA (Monfalcone yard), Italy Vessel’s name:....................................... Ventura Hull number:................................................6132 IMO number:.........................................9333175 Owner/operator:...... Carnival Group USA/P&O Cruises UK Ltd, UK Designer:.................Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani, Italy Flag: .................................................... Bermuda Total number of sister ships already completed:...............................3 (‘Grand class’) for various Carnival group owners Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................1

A

FEATURE of Carnival’s successful series of ‘Grand class’ cruise liners, is the way in which the innovative designers employed on each vessel can find new ways of ‘tweaking’ the interiors to yield additional passenger space within the basic hull, thereby successively increasing gross tonnage to produce yet another ‘world’s largest cruise liner’. Ventura is the latest sister to be accorded with this accolade, whilst, at the same time, entering claims to be Fincantieri’s largest newbuilding, the largest cruise ship ever built for the British market, and the possessor of arguably the largest two-deck theatre aboard a British vessel. It is also understood to be the first P&O liner providing passenger access, via the promenade deck, to the extreme tip of the bow! Ventura is aimed at the British market and will be based at Southampton from spring to autumn, moving to Barbados for the winter months. Emphasis is directed towards a family-themed experience, with entertainment and activities provided specifically for teenager and younger passengers, exemplified perhaps by a digital Scalextric layout and appearances by storybook character Noddy. In all, 14 public decks are available featuring eight restaurants, six boutiques, five pools (two dedicated for families), and three show lounges. Particularly intriguing is the Cirque Ventura, a circus school where performance skills can be learned and practised, and bungee trampolinists can leap to heights 100m above sea level. All the essential cruise ship ‘musts’ are provided, centred on an atrium from which all public spaces can be accessed. Formed using four black, Indian granite pillars and including two glass panoramic lifts, the structure covers three decks and is 9.3m high. Interior design by leading artists is enhanced by contemporary

artwork highlighting the décor of three major stairwells, and comprising over 7000 pieces, valued at more than £1 million and including exhibits from the Tate Modern gallery. A maximum of 3571 passengers can be accommodated (3080 in lower beds only), occupying 1538 cabins, 1101 of which are outside with 880 having balconies, and 445 inside. Thirty one varied types of room are provided for disabled passengers. The machinery installation is based on a diesel-electric system, similar to that fitted to earlier ‘Grand class’ vessels, supplying power for propulsion and hotel services, but, changes have been made to the main engines where choice, for Ventura, has fallen on a combination of 4 x 12V46C and 2 x 8L46C Wärtsilä main engines coupled to Siemens alternators. Different solutions, for example, were adopted on Grand Princess and Caribbean Princess (Significant Ships of 1998 and 2004 respectively). The larger engines each develop 12,600kW and are fitted in the aft engineroom, with the smaller pair, of 8400kW output each, installed in a second compartment. Part of the supply from the alternators is directed to two Siemens propulsion motors, each of 21,000kW output, positioned between the two enginerooms, with shaft lines passing through the aft compartment to drive twin conventional propellers, for a contracted service speed of 22.15knots at 35,700kW power (85% MCR). Ventura is also fitted with a substantial transverse thruster outfit: three aft units developing 1720kW each and three at the bow of 2200kW each. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

VIKING XPRS: Baltic ferry owner's first newbuild for 18 years Shipbuilder:............Aker Yards (Helsinki yard), Finland Vessel's name:.............................. Viking XPRS Hull number: . .............................................1358 IMO number:.........................................9375654 Owner/operator:................Viking Line, Finland Model test establishment used:............. Marin, The Netherlands Flag: ...................................................... Sweden Total number of sister ships already completed:............................ Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:..........................................1 (consort, building in Spain)

A

RGUABLY the first vessel to incorporate 'texting language' in its name, Viking XPRS has been built by Aker Yards' Helsinki covered complex (following the recent acquisition, Aker Yards is today known as STX Europe) to serve on the increasingly popular cruiseferry link between Helsinki and Tallinn, favoured by large numbers of Finns wishing to enjoy a short break in Estonia. To experience this they join the vessel's evening sailing, have a meal, make use of the leisure activities, and snatch a few hours sleep before spending the next day sightseeing and shopping in Tallinn, then returning to Helsinki in the afternoon. To suit this schedule, Viking Line has actually programmed the voyage to last one and a half hours longer than that offered by competitor Tallink. The two and one half hours at sea allows time to meet the above objectives, or to make use of the range of conference facilities onboard, including a 70-seat business lounge fitted with internet connections. An entire deck (No 8) provides a variety of dining opportunities for the maximum 2500 passengers. The largest of these facilities is the 338 Bistro Bella on the port side aft, furnished with a new-style buffet, open to the galley to allow diners to watch meals being prepared. In the self-service Blue Deli café, passengers make their own choice of Scandinavian food, whilst the starboard side of the deck presents the 90-seat Café Expresso coffee bar. Featuring large panoramic windows, the Red Rose is a 500-seat café-dance restaurant, whilst, on deck 7, the 400-seat Vikings' Inn offers food and drink, with the added attraction of opening out on to a sun deck. The design of Viking XPRS is based on that produced by Aker for Seafrance Rodin in 2001 (Significant Ships of 2001), modified to suit Viking's specific needs, notably the inclusion of the highest Finnish-Swedish ice class, 1A Super, which enables the ferry to operate all year round in the sometimes severe ice conditions of the Gulf of Finland. The 238 passenger cabins offer a variety of categories of accommodation, with a total of 732 berths available, whilst those passengers travelling with their cars have the use of a dedicated car deck (deck 5), separating them from freight traffic, for which 1000 lane metres

are provided on deck 3. Car capacity is 230, and vehicle access is over bow and stern ramps supplied by TTS. A tiltable ramp provides a link between decks 3 and 5. The new arrival complies with the requirements of ISO 14001 international standards for environmental management, with measures adopted including fitting main and auxiliary engine exhausts with catalytic reduction (SCR) units and using low-sulphur fuels. The machinery modified in this way comprises the four Wärtsilä 8L46F main engines, which each develop 10,000kW, and three Auxpac generating sets from the same manufacturer, using 8L20 engines to drive 1688kVA alternators, which satisfy electrical requirements. Two twin input/single output gearboxes connect with a pair of CP propellers, and two bow, and one stern, Rolls-Royce thrusters fitted with Siemens electric motors, are normally supplied from two shaft-driven alternators, also of Siemens make.

WEST POLARIS: a modified twin-derrick drill ship Shipbuilder............Samsung Heavy Industries Co Ltd, Korea Vessel’s name:............................... West Polaris Hull number:................................................1657 IMO number:.........................................9372535 Owner/operator:..................... Seadrill, Norway/ ExxonMobil, USA Designer:...............Samsung Heavy Industries Co Ltd, Korea Model test establishment used:.........................Flag: ...................................................... Panama Number of sister ships already completed:...................................... Nil Number of sister ships still on order:...................................................2 AST year, Significant Ships presented Stena Drillmax, the first of a new generation of monohull drill ships L featuring twin derricks. West Polaris is a derivative of

that design, modified to meet the needs of her owner, the Norwegian company Seadrill, and operator, ExxonMobil. A comprehensive topsides outfit with the two Dobbel derricks allows drilling to depths of 9100m through the 25.6m x 12.48m moonpool. An advanced SDPM32 dynamic positioning plant from Simrad, designed to the highest standard (DP3), will enable the ship to remain on station. West Polaris has been substantially engineered to survive significant wave heights up to 11.4m (not as high as the 16m on Stena Drillmax, which was planned for more inhospitable climates) and wind speeds up to 100knots (51m/sec). At the same time, drilling work can continue in significant wave heights up to a maximum of 5.8m and wind speeds for one minute of 50knots (26m/sec). To help ensure this capability, the ship has been installed with a large diesel-electric power plant based on six alternators, driven by Wärtsilä 16V32 engines, each of 7680kW at 720rev/min and burning either heavy fuel or diesel oil. Current is delivered to a bank of six azimuthing thrusters arranged forward and aft for both propulsion and positioning; each consists of a Rolls-Royce unit with fixed pitch blades and with an output of 4500kW, to give a total of 27,000kW. As is the present trend, West Polaris also has connections provided to link up to shore supplies when in port; this equipment, which is part of the emergency switchboard,

has been designed by Samsung. Norsafe has again supplied the conventional lifesaving package for the crew of approximately 179. This comprises four lifeboats for 80 persons and two for 36 persons. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

Nil Total number of sister ships still on order:........................................10 HE long series of U-class container ships, of which YM Uberty is the prototype, represents the largest T vessels of this type yet built in Taiwan. At least three

further sisters have already been completed in 2008 by CSBC’s Kaohsiung yard. American Bureau of Shipping Dynamic Load Approach principles have been applied to analyse the entire structure, and a special fatigue analysis used to evaluate local structure geometry. In addition, an advanced lashing analysis has been carried out to investigate the response of on deck structures, such as hatch coamings, hatchcovers, and lashing bridges; a vibration assessment was also carried out. High tensile steel of grade HT40 and maximum thickness 75mm has been used in high stress areas, conveniently supplied by the nearby China Steel Corporation. YM Uberty is laid out with nine cargo holds, seven of which are forward of the machinery space, within a double skin hull with forecastle erection and a tall, slim superstructure providing accommodation for a complement of 25 plus six Suez Canal crew. A maximum of 8241TEU can be carried, and sockets for 700FEU refrigerated containers are provided. The entire upper deck is equipped with lashing bridges, and 45ft containers can be stowed above the first tier on deck, and in the holds in way of Bays 06, 58 and 62. Large anti-heeling tanks, and a 1000m³/h pump are fitted in order to facilitate cargo handling flexibility. Numbers 1-4 holds are equipped to be loaded with dangerous goods of classes 1.4(S); 2.1-2.3; 3; 4.14.3; 5.1; 6.1; 8; and 9. The ship is propelled by a MAN B&W 12K98MC main engine manufactured by Mitsui. This develops 68,640kW MCR at 94rev/min, and at 90% output, and with a 15% sea margin, the service speed on the design draught is approximately 26knots. A voltage of

6600V is designed for the power plant, and four Daihatsu/Nishishiba diesel alternators are installed, each producing 3000kW. Alternative maritime power (AMP) connections are available to accept shore electrical supply to suit Californian requirements. One vertical oil fired boiler is fitted to satisfy steam demands, and a Kawasaki 3000kW bow thruster is fitted to assist manoeuvring. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

T

HE 19619 series of river-sea oil tankers was introduced by the MNP Group’s Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard in 2004 (see President Heydar Aliyev in Significant Ships of 2004), and has been regularly updated since then to take account of changes to international conventions, environmental requirements and design improvements based on operational experience. Few of these, however, have altered the typical sleek, low-air-draught profile of vessels designed to trade independently through the inland waterways of Russia, the Volga-Baltic Channel, and into the Caspian, Black and Baltic seas, and now, more regularly into Western European waters. Particular environmental measures addressed include reductions in the amount of NOx present in main and auxiliary engine exhausts, and the use of low-sulphur fuels. A special cargo vapour freeing system, which allows gas discharge direct into shore facilities, has also been installed, obviating release into the atmosphere. Design improvements made include an automatic, high pressure fire extinguishing installation, operated by smoke and flame detectors, which serves unmanned machinery spaces, and a membrane type inert gas system, designed to separate pure nitrogen from atmospheric air entering the cargo tanks, where it can form explosive mixtures. Manually operated derricks at each of the four manifold positions have been replaced, on some of the newer ships, with a 10tonne hydraulic, hose handling crane from Davit International, while transfer of the cargo control position to the wheelhouse has allowed the complement to be reduced from 28 to 18 persons, with a consequent increase in cabin areas and improved living conditions. The latter include providing suites for senior officers, and private toilet facilities elsewhere. Other changes to international requirements now included in the 19619 design are the fitting of an automatic identification system (AIS), voyage data recorder (VDR) and electronic chart displays (ECDIS). Anti-terrorism protection and a security alert system is also installed. Zengezur is configured as a double hull vessel with a cargo space subdivided into 12 tanks and two slop tanks, suitable for the carriage of oil and products of SG up to 0.99tonnes/m³, and flash point below 60 C. To suit KASPAR’s requirements, the vessel has been adapted to handle three cargo segregations, for which purpose six Marflex 250m³/h pumps are fitted. Tanks have had International Paint epoxy coatings applied, and these allow up to 2000 cargo types to be carried. Two Wärtsilä 9L20 main engines continue to form the basis of the machinery installation, with each o

connected to a Lips FP propeller by way of a single input/single output Reintjes reduction gearbox. Each engine develops 1620kW, and the combination produces a service speed of 10knots when operating at 85% MCR. Electrical power comes from three 384kW dieselalternator sets, with provision made for accepting shore power when required. A 300kW bow thruster is fitted and there are two rudders operating under the stern, either side of a central skeg. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

A publication of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects

The twentieth edition of our annual Significant Ships series, Significant Ships of 2009, will be published in February 2010. As in previous editions we shall be including up to 50 of the most innovative and interesting commercial ship designs (of mostly 100m length and above) which will be delivered during the forthcoming year. The Editor invites shipbuilders, designers and owners to submit details of vessels for possible inclusion in Significant Ships of 2009. Presentation will follow on the established two-page format, with a colour photograph, descriptive text and tabular details (including major equipment suppliers) on the first page, followed by a full page of technical general arrangement plans. Initial potential entries should comprise a short technical description (100 words) of the proposed vessel highlighting the special features and the delivery date. All entries should be addressed to: Editor, Significant Ships of 2009, 10 Upper Belgrave Street, London SW1X 8BQ, UK. Tel: +44 (0) 20 7235 4622 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7245 6959 Email: [email protected]
