JAHRE TRAVELLER

Crude Oil Carrier

Brodosplit

The last of four Suezmax crude oil carriers for Jorgen Jahre of Nor- way was delivered by Split Ship- building Industry (Brodosplit),

Split, Yugoslavia, this past sum- mer.

Classed by Det norske Veritas, the 78,000-gt Jahre Traveller is a single-screw tanker used for trans- porting crude oil with one contin- uous deck, a bulbous bow, raked stem and transom stern. She is equipped with eight central cargo tanks, four pairs of wing cargo tanks

She is also fitted with three pairs of segregated water ballast tanks, with the after peak and fore peak used for water ballast.

The Jahre Traveller has an over- all length of 882 feet, molded breadth of 146 feet, molded depth to main deck of just over 79 feet. Her scantling deadweight is 142,000 metric tons at a scantling draft of 54.4 feet.

She is propelled by a single super- charged, two-stroke six-cylinder

Split-MAN B&W diesel 6S70MC engine, rated at 17,921 hp at 85 rpm mcr, directly coupled to a four- bladed propeller.

Brodosplit developed the ship's body line in cooperation with the

Yugoslav Shipping Institute of Za- greb. The sea trials for the ship showed good performance in the ar- eas of speed and seakeeping, accord- ing to Brodosplit.

In fact, encouraged by their suc- cess with this particular design,

Split Shipyard has developed a new "environmental" design (a double- bottom/double-skin version) adher- ing to the same ship's main particu- lars and body lines.

JANE MAERSK

LPG Carrier

HHI

The first of four 35,000-cubic- meter LPG carriers, the Jane

Maersk was delivered this past No- vember by Hyundai Heavy Indus- tries Co., Ltd. (HHI), Korea.

The Jane Maersk has an overall length of 607 feet, breadth of 90 feet and design draft of 31 feet. She has one continuous freeboard deck from the No. 1 cargo hold bulkhead to stern and the cargo space is divided into four holds by transverse bulk- heads to suit four freestanding and self-supporting prismatic tanks.

The cargo handling system of the ship is designed for the simulta- neous loading, reliquefying and dis- charging of two cargoes with full segregation.

The Jane Maersk is designed to carry such cargoes as anhydrous am- monia, propane with an ethane con- tent of 7.0 mole percent, butane (ISO and normal), pure propane, butadiene, propylene, butylenes and VCM. Other cargoes may be carried provided that ther toxicity, aggressiveness, pressure, tempera- ture and specific gravity are within design limitations.

The Jane Maersk is powered by a single Hyundai-MAN B&W 6S60MC main engine developing an (continued on page 37)

INTRODUCING

THE EPOCH MARKH SERIES.

A new era in product oil carrier design.

Hitachi Zosen have developed the EPOCH

MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs.

Revolutionary in concept, the MARK n incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure.

While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength.

This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARK II product oil carriers provide unrivalled advantages in performances over more conventional designs.

The EPOCH MARK II series is available in 40 and 60 thousand dwt designs. And

MARK II has already won not only concept approval from ABS, BV, LR, NK and NV, but complete approval from LR for the 40 thousand dwt class. Hitachi Zosen have obtained many patents worldwide.
