Cosmo Delphinus

VLCC

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) delivered the 1,056-foot, 146,527-dwt Cosmo Delphinus, the first VLCC with a contra-rotating propeller system (CRP), from its

Nagasaki Works to owner Shinwa

Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. this March. The

Cosmo Delphinus has a beam of 190 feet and a draft of 64 feet.

The CRP system's two coaxial propellers rotate in opposite direc- tions, allowing the rear propeller to use swirl generated by the fore pro- peller, saving a reported 15 percent power. The Cosmo Delphinus is also the first ship to be equipped with the Super Advanced Ship Op- eration Support system (Super

ASOS), an integrated system that monitors engines, handles cargo, and prevents collisions with its navi- gational features. Both Super ASOS and CRP features were developed by MHI.
