Ship Name: Berge Hugin

Ship Type: Shuttle Tanker

Owner/Operator: . .Bergesen D.Y. AS/Statoil

Berge Hugin is the first of two 103,000-dwt self-propelled, multi-purpose shuttle tankers built by Koje Shipyard of Samsung Heavy

Industries Co., Ltd for Statoil. Scheduled to have been delivered to its owner on November 30,1996, the vessel will go into service in the oil fields of the North Sea.

Compared with most shuttle tankers equipped with the submerged turret loading (STL) system, Berge Hugin, by design, is multi- purposeful in that it applies not only the sub- merged turret loading/production system (STL/STP) for the future installation of produc- tem, which consists of four sets of main diesel generators installed in two completely indepen- dent compartments, supplies electricity to major electrically-driven equipment, including a 12,000-kW set of synchronous propulsion motors that drive a single FPP, four sets of cargo oil pumps, and two sets of azimuth thrusters. An integrated automation system (IAS) is designed to function from the wheel- house. This computerized system is incorporat- ed with the dynamic positioning system, includ- ing propulsion motor control and thruster con- trol. To maintain each of the functions when in operation, workstations are arranged in the cargo control station, aft control station and engine room station. tion, but also the stern loading and dis- charging system (SLDS) for crude oil loading operation from offshore installa- tions such as subsur- face loading stations (UKLOS), floating storage and offloading (FSO) units, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units and articulated loading platforms (ALP).

Accomodations such as a navigation bridge and two electric power plant rooms (forward machinery space) are located in the fore part, while a separate compartment (aft machinery space) which includes con- verter rooms to drive propulsion equipment and cargo/ballast pumps, is located in the aft part.

Great emphasis has been placed on ecological aspects as well as on structural and human safety. Such safety features include: fully dou- ble- hulled/bottomed designs for all cargo oil tanks as well as for all other oil tanks, includ- ing oil sludge tanks; two longitudinal bulk- heads inside the cargo tanks to minimize crude oil vaporation during loading operations; a vapor emission control system; gas sampling for ballast tanks; four-stroke engines to reduce

NOx emissions; two independent electric power generating plants in separate compartments to reserve redundancy in the event of a power fail- ure; and tin-free paint to protect marine life.

Engen Rainbow is a B573 tanker that has been adapted for the transportation of chemical cargoes,

IMO two and three products and crude oil. The ship's cargo tank compartment is divided into 22 tanks, four equipped for IMO two cargoes. The cargo system, which consists of submerged, hydraulical- ly driven pumps, is designed to ensure ship service flexibility.

Measuring systems of gas concen- tration in spaces adjacent to cargo and ballast tanks, remote cargo level and temperature measuring systems, an autonomous cargo high level alarm system as well as pres- sure measuring in cargo tanks and cargo system pipelines are provided on board the ship. All loading and unloading operations are remotely controlled and monitored from the

CCR. The ship is powered by a

Sulzer 6RTA52U main engine, with a power output of 8500 kW. On the basis of this design, the shipyard has signed contracts for building the ships for Shell Australia, the owner making the highest require- ments regarding cargo transporting safety, environment protection as well as crew safety. Contracts were also signed to build similar ships for owners from the Republic of

South Africa and New Zealand.
