Hyundai Utopia (Continued from page 30) small amounts of cargo will be left in the cargo tank for maintaining a cold condition and posi- tive pressure.

Vessel Control

The Hyundai Utopia's Centralized Adminis- tration and Control Center (CACC), situated just below the wheelhouse, is arranged on the accommodation deck and allows for centralized control of loading, discharging, ballasting, deballasting and continuous monitoring and con- trol of the cargo handling system. It features an integrated automation system; a shipboard man- agement system; a CACC console, or person- machine interface style operation panel, com- munication system, operating lever of the main engine, etc.; and a custody transfer system.

Propulsion

Main propulsion machinery consists of a ma- rine steam turbine driving a single propeller through double reduction gears and two sets of main boilers of the gas/oil dual burning type.

The machinery is remotely controlled from the wheelhouse and CACC. Unattended operation of the main engine is possible.

Equipped with four independent spherical tanks 131.2 ft. (40 m) in diameter, the ship has a lowered mooring deck, transom stern and single screw propeller driven directly by a steam tur- bine. In the forward part, a fore peak water ballast tank, a bowthruster room and a void are arranged.

The boiler can be operated exclusively with gas in the normal going mode as well as operated by conventional gas/oil burning. The Automation

Combustion Control (ACC) contains the total

BOG system, which keeps the pressure in the tanks constant via computer control.

Hyundai Shipyard has prepared for building

LNG ships since the 1970s, and now has devoted its No. 1 dock exclusively to the construction of this ship type. Hyundai has developed designs for both the membrane and Moss types of LNG carrier.
