Mitsui Completes Big Products Tanker

For Olympos Trading Corporation

The 66,800-dwt petroleum prod- ucts carrier Urania Coulouthros (shown above) was delivered recent- ly at the Tamamo Works of Mitsui

Engineering & Shipbuilding Com- pany in Japan to Olympos Trading

Corporation of Liberia. The Pana- max tanker is equipped with a crude oil washing (COW) system to permit carriage of crude as well as oil prod- ucts. All her cargo tanks are coated internally with pure epoxy.

Designed in accordance with not only the requirements of the 1973

International Convention for the

Prevention of Pollution from Ships and the 1978 Protocol relating thereto; the 1974 Convention for the

Safety of Life at Sea, and its 1978

Protocol and 1981 Amendment; but also meets the pertinent rules of the

U.S., Canada, and the Panama Ca- nal Commission, qualifying the ves- sel for service anywhere in the world.

Cargo oil pumps and the principal valves of cargo oil lines are con- trolled remotely from the cargo con- trol room, and oil levels and temper- atures in cargo tanks, pump pres- sures, and the draft of the hull are displayed remotely in the same room.

The tanker is powered by a fuel- efficient Mitsui/B&W slow-speed 7L67GBE diesel having a maximum continuous output of 15,200 bhp at 123 rpm. Maximum trial speed was 15.8 knots. An engine control sta- tion with monitoring and control systems, including data logger and

CRT displays, carries out remote monitoring and control of engine room machinery. The machinery and other equipment in the engine room qualifies for the UMS Nota- tion of Lloyd's Register of Shipping, allowing unmanned engine room op- eration even at night.

The ship's electronics include a satellite navigation system, Decca

Navigator, facsimile receiver for me- teorological data, and a collision- avoidance system intergrated with a radar for better navigational safety.

The Urania Coulouthros has an overall length of 754.58 feet, beam of 105.64 feet, depth of 61.68 feet, and full-load draft of 42 feet. Cargo oil tank capacity totals 73,801 cubic meters.

New ABS Book Lists

Approved Equipment

The American Bureau of Ship- ping, 65 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10006, has announced the availabili- ty of its 100-page book, List of

Approved Equipment, at a cost of $10 in the U.S.

Divided into two sections, one part contains the equipment and components certified by the Bu- reau's Equipment Type Approval

Program for use aboard ships or marine structures classed by ABS.

The second part lists all ABS- approved internal combustion en- gines. Still under development for future issues is a third section list- ing approved reduction gears.

The new book will aid shipown- ers, builders, and manufacturers in their selection of products. In addi- tion, it will reduce plan review time for ABS, the designer, and the ship- yard. piciTfziiiC
