Type: LNG Carrier

Delivered to owner Phillips/Mara- thon on June 4, the 48,817-dwt Liq- uid Natural Gas carrier Polar Eagle is approximately 784 feet long, 131 feet wide and 88 feet deep, yet it can reach 18.5 knots. Classed by ABS, it was built at IHI's Aichi yard and is the first vessel equipped with IHI's

SPB system (Self-supporting Pris- matic IMO type B) independent tanks, which are incorporated into the hull, allowing a flat upper deck.

The hold and tank spaces of the

Polar Eagle have been configured for easy inspection, and its flat up- per deck facilitates maintenance of deck pipings and equipment with- out stagings.

The vessel also has special fea- tures that make it especially fit for

Alaska trade: underdeck passages for easy tank dome access, mooring winch areas, a flat accommodation wall and lower piping arrangement on deck to combat freezing.
