GREAT SHIPS OF 1996 (Frota Santos continued from page main deck. The hatch covers of hold No. 1 have a length for one 40- ft. container.

The tank top can support loads up to 9.5 t/sq.-m. to allow the car- riage of some heavy cargoes such as steel products, the 'tween deck hatch panels can support loads up to 2.6 t/m2. Another feature of the design is the option of removing the tween-deck hatch panels and install fixed or removable cell guides if required by an increase in the quantity of containers to be carried in the trade. The hatch covers and the main deck can sup- port loads up to 2.6 t/sq. m.

Due to the lack of port facilities in the Amazon region, the ship is equipped with three cranes, each with a capacity of 40t SWL with an outreach of 30 m. An automatic anti-heeling equipment was installed to automatically correct the heel of ship when loading/unloading heavy cargoes.

Since the ship operates in rivers with sand banks and narrow pas- sages, good maneuverability is required. To fulfill this require- ment a large rudder and a control- lable pitch propeller were installed. A sophisticated machin- ery automation system was installed for control and monitor- ing of the machinery and reefer containers by a computer network with terminals installed in differ- 40) ent places in the engine room and accomodations. The ship is certi- fied by ABS for "One-man bridge operation."

The ship operates at a service speed of 18 knots at design draft with power delivered from a MAN-

B&W 5S 60 MC main engine.

Three MAN-BW/Siemens diesel alternators sets are installed, each one rated at 610 kW. Steam is pro- duced by an oil-fired and an exhaust gas boiler. Special care was taken in the design of the fuel oil systems to allow the use of high viscosity heavy fuel oils in the main engine and auxiliary engines and recommendations of "CIMAC" have been followed, like the instal- lation of two pairs of settling/ser- vices tanks, high viscosity fuel oil purifiers and heating systems.

The central cooling system use sdouble-speed pumps controlled by microprocessors.

Special care was taken to avoid pollution and the ship is equipped with sewage system, incinerator, special stern tube sealings, and the heavy fuel oil deep tanks are pro- tected on ship side and bottom by a double skin and double bottom.
