World's Biggest Ship

Delivered To Globtik Tankers

The 477,000-dwt Globtik Tokyo, the world's largest tanker, built by the Kure Shipyard of

IHI (Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries

Co., Ltd.) for Globtik Tankers Ltd., the U.K., recently completed her sea trials.

Her first trial run (preliminary sea trials) was made in the Iyonada Sea off Ehime Pre- fecture, and the Hyuganada Sea off Miyazaki

Prefecture, for test operations and adjustment of machinery and equipment on board.

The official sea trials were held from Janu- ary 25 to January 31 in the sea off the Fukue- jima, Nagasaki Prefecture for speed test, turn- ing test, and final adjustment of machinery and equipment.

The Globtik Tokyo was delivered to her owner on February 20, and then chartered to

Tokyo Tanker Company for hauling crude oil from the Persian Gulf to the Nippon Oil

Group's central terminal station (CTS) at Kiire in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Construction on the Globtik Tokyo was start- ed in April 1972 at Kure Shipyard, and she was launched in October of the same year.

The ship is approximately 1,244 feet in over- all length, and about 105 feet longer than the 372,000-dwt Nisseki Maru, the world's largest tanker now in service. The height from the ship's bottom to the top of the funnels is about 230 feet, equivalent to that of a 20-story build- ing. She is capable of carrying about 580,000 kiloliters of crude oil on a single voyage.

Approximate measurements and principal particulars of the Globtik Tokyo are: length overall, 1,244 feet; breadth molded, 204 feet, and depth molded, 118 feet. Her main engine is a 45,000-shp IHI turbine, with a service speed of 15 knots. The maximum complement is 50, and the cargo holding capacity is about 20,518,- 363 cubic feet.
