great ships of 2003 foam caddied with 0.5mm aluzinc steel sheeting. The LPG carrier is able to carry two cargoes simultaneously, both of which may be refrigerated. Cargoes include anhydrous ammonia, 1,3-butadi- ene, butane (iso and normal), butylenes, commercial propane, propylene.

The reliquefaction plant can handle two refrigerated cargo grades simultane- ously and major equipments such as cargo compressors and motors are located in compressor and motor room on main deck level.

Cargo handling is operated by eight deep well pumps, each with a capacity of 600 cu. m./hr., allowing for a dis- charge time of approximate 18 hours excluding stripping. Loading is accom- plished in about 18 hours based on vapor return to shore.

Ship Name MSC Linzie

Ship Owner Mediterranean Shipping Co. S.A.

Ship Builder Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction

Ship Type Containership

MSC Linzie is the first vessel of a new vessel type developed and designed by Hanjin which adopts the new Panamax length design of 294.05 m. Apparently the design series and Hanjin's well-established reputation in this niche has proved attractive, as the company has, to date, logged orders for 24 ships of the new design.

As mentioned above, its length is the maximum for Panama canal, i.e. 294 m. So it has been designed to move flexibly both in Pacific

Ocean and in Atlantic Ocean through Panama canal, which is one of the main feature that makes it popular among the operator.

This ship offers the maximum intake of 5,060TEU. It is composed of six holds and each hold is capa- ble of holding two stacks of hi-cube containers and also equipped with cell guides exclusively for 40 ft. containers together with fittings for the 20 ft. container, which enhances loading flexibility in hold. On deck it is even more flexible due to the loading ability of 20/40/45ft con- tainers including separate loading facility for special cargos like dan- gerous cargos and 400 refrigerated

FEU.

The accommodation is equipped with convenient facilities for a total of 35 person including accommo- dation for six Suez-canal crews

Recent sea trial result has shown that it has been so comfortably designed for the crews inside that the vibration and noise level has been noticeably reduced.

HSD-built MAN B&W 9K90MC-C has been mounted and its trial speed is 23.06knots when operating at 15% sea margin (90%

MCR) at the scantling draft of 13.5m.

The supply material and accesso- ry features are arranged based on

December 2003 an environmentally friendly design.

The major machineries and elec- tronic parts are the ones whose per- formance has been verified through plenty of testing periods for the easy operations and also has been selected among the makers familiar to the operators.

Smart Electronic

Level Switch with

No Moving Parts

The Sea Switch Two was designed and patented for all tank applications. The Sea Switch Two offers a reliable solution for liquid level detection and control for cargo, ballast, and storage tanks, without any moving parts.

The Sea Switch Two uses a fully static system that is based on the propagation of an acoustic wave into a metallic rod. A piezo-electric sensing element produces a wave along the rod. As the liquid reaches the sensing element the oscilla- tion stops and the alarm is activated.

The Sea Switch Two sensor detects high, high- high, or low level in any liquid with an alarm output given by a dry contact or current loop change 6-18 mA. • Easy installation • Self-test built-in • Fully static system - no moving parts ^ Call today for more information!
