One
of the newest crude oil tankers build by Namura Shipbuilding Co
Ltd, is called Atlantic Pioneer. The crude carrier was completed
in Imari Shipyard on 1st October 2009 and has overall length of
333.00 meters. The VLCC has length between perpendiculars of 324.00
meters and moulded breadth of 60.00 meters. The cargo ship Atlantic
Pioneer has depth of 29.00 meters and draft, when fully loaded
of 20.60 meters. Really the giant looking quite large in measurements
and it is quite hard such large ship to be projected and completed.
The builders promise that this ship will have higher stability
that even smaller vessels, because of the new technology used
for fireworks. This increases highly the strength of the hull
and reduces the expenses for building this ship at all. The proud
owner of the vessel is Primo Shipping S.A., company well known
is Asia and all over the world with transportation of crude oil
from Saudi Arabia to China and Japan. The VLCC has deadweight
of 302,303 metric tons, while the gross tonnage is 159,943 gross
tons. And this large sailing vessel is in need of very strong
and reliable engine on board. The builders decided to use Mitsui
MAN-B&W 7S80MC-C main engine, from the generation of Mark
8. This is the latest technology of MAN-B&W engine. date: 29th December, 2009
High
Glow is product tanker property of Golden Pegasus Navigation S.A.
The ships from this class are not carrying crude oil cargoes,
but usually some oil products, which are high explosive and very
dangerous for the nature. The shipbuilder Naikai Zosen Corporation
created this beauty in the ship-yard of Setoda Works and designed
it according to the latest requirements of IMO and SOLAS. The
ship High Glow is with maximized beam to pass through Panama Canal
and the double bottom allows the ship to carry light and heavy
oil products and also palm oil. The cargo ship has overall length
of 179.90 meters and beam of 32.20 meters. The depth of the ship
is 19.25 meters and the draft when fully loaded can reach 11.65
meters. The product tanker High Glow has deadweight of 46,846
metric tons and gross tonnage of 28,245 gross tons. These measurements
are showing us the large capacity of the vessel, which is 54,000
cubic meters. The cargo space of the vessel is divided into 14
cargo tanks divided into starboard tanks and port tanks. The ship
is equipped also with own pumps used for discharging of the liquid
cargoes. The pumps have ability to discharge 800 cubic meters
per hour. If we have in mind that ship can be discharged at maximum
2 points... date: 29th December, 2009
Kiho
is cargo vessel with very large size. This ship is carrying crude
oil and has deadweight of 300,866 metric tons. The gross tonnage
of the vessel Kiho is 159,923 gross tons. The VLCC was built by
IHI Marine United Inc in 2006. The ship is high quality, designed
according to latest requirements of IMO and created to be environmental
and profitable. The ship was built in Kure Shipyard, which is
well known Asian Shipyard. The ship Kiho has length of 333.00
meters and beam of 60.00 meters. The depth of the VLCC is 29.00
meters and the draft, when the ship is fully loaded reaches 20.50
meters. Such large vessel will need strong and reliable main engine.
The one installed on board of Kiho is DU-Wartsila 7RTflex84T-D,
which provides total power of 27,160 kW at 74.0rpm, which is enough
for the ship to reach service speed of 15.5 knots. Such large
crude oil carriers are not in need of high speed, but mostly from
large amount of cargo. This is the reason for the shipbuilders
to create the vessel with improved shape, which is not decreasing
the water resistance, but
to have maximum cargo space with these measurements. The measurements
are calculated to be maximum for passing through Malacca Strait... date: 29th August, 2009
The
VLCC Kasagisan is one of the most modern ships from this class
built last years. The ship has overall length 333.00 meters, while
the length between perpendiculars is 324.00 meters. These measurements
are quite important for maneuvering of the vessel and ship’s
stability. The beam of Kasagisan is 60.00 meters and the depth
of the boards is 28.80 meters. While the vessel is fully loaded
the drafts reached maximum 20.46 meters. The VLCC (Very Large
Crude Carrier) is quite big in size, and the deadweight of the
vessel is 302,478 metric tons. The gross tonnage of the ship is
160,216 gross tons. The full capacity of the vessel is 354,689
cubic meters. This is quite bid value of crude oil transported
by one cargo ship. The main engine of the vessel is Mitsui-MAN
B&W 7S80MC-C, which provides for the vessel maximum power
of 27,160 kW at 76 rpm. This is amazing result for the engine
and hull design, so the vessel can reach speed of 15.4 knots.
Oil tankers usually are not in need of high speed, because the
most important feature of their operation is the cargo carrier
– much is better. The ship-builders from Mitsui Engineering
& Shipbuilding Co Ltd . ... date: 29th August, 2009
Tanking
about large sailing vehicles we should definitely notice Berge
Ichiban. The oil tanker has overall length of 322.95 meters and
beam of 60.00 meters. The depth of the board if 29.55 meters and
the draft of the VLCC is 18.65 meters, while the ship is fully
loaded. The deadweight of Berge Ichiban is 298,552 metric tons
and the gross tonnage is 159,397 gross tons. The very large crude
carrier has main engine MAN B&W 7S80MC (Mark VI) with total
power of 25,490 kW at 79 rpm. The service speed of the ship is
16.00 knots, while the maximum one is 17.1 knots. Ships from the
class of Berge Ichiban usually have lower speed and they are clumsier,
but this crude oil carrier was designed with high speed with low
fuel consumption. The cargo ship was built on February 2000 in
the ship-yard Hitachi Zosen (now known as Universal Shipbuilding
Corporation. The cargo ship was built for Bergesen D. Y. ASA,
which is one of the largest ship-owners of the world. The ship
is double hull cargo vessel created according to latest requirements
of MARPOL73/78 and IMO. The ship is created with increased protection
for marine pollutions, in case of grounding... date: 9th May, 2009
