First Double-Hull, Japanese-Built /LCC Completed

Shown here under construction at Hitachi

Zosen Corp.'s Ariake Works, the Arosa, which is the first double-hull VLCC built in Japan, was recently delivered to its owner, Arosa Maritime.

The 290,000-dwt, Greek-flag crude carrier, was designed to meet new MARPOL regulations.

The tanker is equipped with many modern sys- tems, such as an emergency inert gas supply system to ballast spaces and hydrocarbon gas detectors to prevent accidental explosion. The tanker can attain a service speed of 15 knots with its Hitachi Zosen B&W 7S80MC-type die- sel engine.

The river- and sea-going vessel Sea Orade, owned by the Frank Dahl shipping company, was the first ship of its class to be equipped with a propulsion system consisting of three Schottel pump jets. The owner claims the system helps prevent propeller damage and grounding, and gives the ship high maneuverability in confined spaces.
