HHI Delivers 4,469-TEU Boxship

To Malaysian Owner

Korean shipbuilder Hyundai

Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI) recently delivered one of the world's largest containerships, the 4,469-

TEU Bunga Pelangi, to a Malay- sian owner.

The new containership ordered by Malaysian International Ship- ping Corporation Berhad (MISC) in January 1990 was handed over to the owner following a naming ceremony. The vessel was chris- tened by Y.A. Bhg. Other attend- ees included Datin Seri Dr. Siti

Hasmah Bte Haji Mohd. Ali, wife of Rt. Hon. Datuk Seri Dr.

Mahathir Bin Mohamad, the

Prime Minister of Malaysia. Over 140 dignitaries and guests from the

Malaysian and Korean authorities in- cluding MISC and HHI were present at the ceremony.

The delivery of the Bunga Pelangi, the first ship ordered by MISC from

HHI, seems to have paved the way for further business between the two com- panies.

MISC and HHI signed subsequent newbuilding contracts for four 72,700- dwt Panamax bulk carriers at the

Ulsan shipyard the day after the

Bunga Pelangi was christened.

The Bunga Pelangi has an overall length of 902 feet, width of 122 feet, and depth of 71 feet, with a design draft of 41 feet.

The ship is the largest of its kind to date, and she is capable of carry- ing 12 rows and 8 tiers of 40-foot/20- foot by 8-1/2-foot containers in each hold, plus 15 rows and 5 tiers of 40- foot/20-foot by 8-1/2-foot containers on deck.

The ship's propulsion is supplied by a two-stroke Hyundai-MAN B&W 10K 90MC main engine with an

MCR of 55,400 bhp at 93 rpm, pro- ducing a service speed of 25 knots.

Diesel generators split into two com- partments to contribute reduction of high noise for economical opera- tion of the ship. In this context, electric power is supplied by two 2,285-kw and two 1,525-kw genera- tors, and emergency supplies are secured by a 20-kw genset.

The high-torque steering gear of the ship is of electrohydraulic, two ram-four cylinder type incorporated with autopilot system, and the 2,000- kw bow thruster is of stepless con- trollable pitch propeller type.

Ulstein Receives Orders

For 2 More Seismic Ships

From Western Atlas

Ulstein Verft A.S., Norway, has received confirmation of two con- tracts for advanced seismic research vessels for Western Atlas Interna- tional, Inc., Houston, Texas. The vessels are designed by Ulstein In- ternational A.S., in close coopera- tion with the customer for operation worldwide.

Western Atlas has already taken delivery of three vessels from their building program at Ulstein yards.

A fourth vessel is expected to be delivered in April 1992. The confir- mation of the additional two UT 700 design vessels will stretch the build- ing program period towards the end of 1993.

Operational experience and per- formance of the first vessels of the

UT 700 designs contributed to the final decision to complete the cur- rent newbuilding program as a part of an ongoing modernization of the

Western Geophysical fleet, under which the company is further ex- panding its capabilities.

Western Atlas International is a leading seismic exploration services company and operates over 30 deep sea seismic vessels.
