Outstanding Oceangoing

Vessels of 1985 •••••••••^^•••••••HHHi (continued) 105 feet, depth of 101.5 feet, and design draft of 27.9 feet. Propulsion is by a Hyundai/B&W 6L80GB low- speed diesel engine having a maxi- mum continuous rating of 19,250 bhp at 96.5 rpm and normal contin- uous rating of 17,320 bhp at 93.2 rpm, driving a Lips highly skewed, fixed-pitch propeller. Service speed is 19 knots.

Equipment necessary for remote control, automation, and monitor- ing/alarm is installed so that 24- hour unattended machinery space operation can be achieved in normal seagoing conditions, earning the Det norske Veritas EO notation. While the engine room is arranged central- ly at the after end of the ship, the cargo space above it has been opti- mized by placing the exhaust casing and funnel on the extreme star- board side.

Electric power is provided by three diesel gensets—two compris- ing Bergen KRG9 engines driving 1,205-kw Nebb alternators, and one with a Bergen KRG5 diesel and 670- kw Nebb alternator. While under way, a Siemens shaft generator in- stalled in the intermediate shift pro- duces 800-kw through a static fre- quency converter.

TELEX: 121246 whtsf troit Diesel engine is located on the upper deck.

The steam supply is produced by a Sunrod oil-fired boiler. While at sea with the main engine running at normal load, steam is generated by a

Sunrod exhaust gas boiler. A Flakt

Dirivent system provides for the effective ventilation of the engine room.

The Nosac Tasco has a total of 12 decks for car stowage. Decks 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 are liftable to accommo- date a broad range of vehicle sizes.

In the case of decks 4, 5, 7, and 8, lifting is accomplished by means of hydraulic jigger cylinders manufac- tured by MacGregor Far East.

Decks 2 and 10, however, are lifted by specially built Nissho movable deck lifters.

Two MacGregor external ramps are fitted for roll-on/roll-off cargo loading and discharge, one approxi- mately at midship and the other at the stern. Larger and heavier vehi- cles are loaded via the stern ramp, which is about 147 Vi feet long and 34V2/54 feet wide, and is canted 36 degrees to starboard of the ship's centerline. This ramp is designed to carry 112 tons. Its clear opening at the threshold is approximately 54 feet wide and 21V2 feet wide. The starboard ramp, normally called the side ramp, is fixed at 90 degrees to the ship's side; clear threshold open- ing is about 23 feet wide and 16 feet high.

ORANGE BLOSSOM

Trosvik

The specialty tanker Orange

Blossom, said to be the world's first purpose-built ship for transporta- tion of fruit juice concentrate in bulk, was delivered early this year by Trosvik Verksted A/S of Brevik,

Norway, to Atlantic Reefer Corpo- ration, which is under the general management of Atlanship S.A. of

Switzerland.

The unique vessel was designed by Dwinger Marineconsult Inc. of

Denmark; the firm also developed the hull lines, which have a very low resistance and thus will insure low fuel oil consumption. The Trosvik

Group developed the detail draw- ings, and Dwinger carried out plan approval and construction supervi- sion on behalf of the owner.

The Orange Blossom has an over- all length of 475.7 feet, beam of 70.5 feet, depth to upper deck of 41.3 feet, and full-load draft of about 32 feet. She is able to carry 12,000 tons of juice concentrate in stainless steel tanks, cooled to below 32 F.

Propulsion is provided by a Japa- nese-built M.A.N.-B&W diesel en- gine with a maximum continuous output of 9,000 bhp at 111 rpm.

B&W Holeby in Denmark provided her three diesel alternators, and Sa- broe of Aarhus, Denmark, delivered the refrigeration plant. Trosvik In- dustri A/S, a member of the Trosvik

Group, supplied the steering gear.

The majority of other equipment and outfit is of Norwegian origin.
