Zosen Corporation's Maizuru Works yard for Sweden's Wallenius Safe

Gothia AB.

Delivered in September of this year, the 52,288-ton ship measures 653 feet long, by 106 feet wide and has a 40-foot draft.

The M.S. Otello is powered by a

Hitachi B&W 8L60MC diesel en- gine capable of delivering a maxi- mum output of 17,020 ps at 105.5 rpm. The engine drives a five-blade, 6.4-meter diameter propeller.

The vessel, which attained 20.6 knots in trials, has a service speed of 19.6 knots. The Hitachi B&W en- gine has a continuous service out- put of 14,490 ps at 100 rpm. The ship's propulsion gear also includes one 1,325 kW thruster driven by an electric thruster engine.

Shipboard power is provided by three generator sets, producing 1,400 kW each, and is backed by a 160 kW emergency generator.

Electronics on the Otello include

Transtema VHF (models RT-2047,

RT-2048 and TRP 3000) and SSB radios (model FRB 8750); Selesmar radar (Selescan model 1024 type, two sets); Tokimec gyro compass (model TG-5000); Furuno GPS navi- gator (model GP-5000); and Tokimec autopilot and Kockum Sonic steer- ing master.

The suezmax double-hull tanker

Mastera was delivered by Daewoo

Shipbuilding and Heavy Machinery

Ltd. to Neste Oy in January 1992.

The tanker, which is 274 meters long; 48 meters wide and has a 17- meter draft, is powered by a single

KHIC-B&W 6S70MC diesel engine driving a Lips four-bladed fixed- pitch propeller. At the NCR of 18,850 bhp at 85 rpm, the loaded service speed is 14.7 knots.

The Mastera is designed for world- wide service for the transporta- tion of crude oil and oil products.

She has three cargo segregations with nine wide-beam center cargo tanks and two slop tanks.

A Becker flap rudder is provided to improve maneuverability.

Dongmyoung-Kawasaki two-ram, four-cylinder steering gear with two hydro pump units is arranged to operate the rudder.

One 1,200-kW and two 900-kW

Heeco generators provide the vessel with electric power. The generators are driven by a SsangYong/MAN

B&W 8L28/32H and 5L28/32H die- sel engines.

Two Sunrod oil fired auxiliary boilers, each 25 ton/h of 16/kg/cm2 saturated, are provided to supply the steam required for simultaneous operation of two HPP steam tur- bines for cargo discharge conditions and general service. Steam genera- tion at sea is taken care of by a

Sunrod exhaust gas boiler to raise 1,800 kg/h of steam on the main engine uptake.

Accommodations are arranged on five levels, and a six-person elevator serves all decks from the engine control room to below the naviga- tion bridge deck. Crew amenities also include a built-in swimming pool and sauna.

The wheelhouse contains the main engine remote control system with telegraph steering gear control with auto pilot, rasterscan radars with ARPA from Krupp-Atlas and a

JRC GPS.
