Pusan Senator

Shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries

Ship type Containership

Ship name Pusan Senator

Owner/operator Norddeutsche

Vermogensanlage GmbH

Pusan Senator is the first in a series of 10 identical containerships being built at

Hyundai Heavy Industries for Norddeutsche

Vermogensanlage GmbH of Germany. The vessel, delivered in May, was chartered out to

DSR-Senator Line.

Pusan Senator is designed to have superior propulsion efficiency against the changeable draft, which will be caused by its loading scheme. The vessel measures 964.8 x 105.6 x 39.4 ft. (294.1 x 32.2 x 12 m). The ship has six holds, five of which are arranged forward of the engine room, and one in back. A maxi- mum of 11 rows and eight tiers of 20-ft. con- tainers can be stowed in the holds. The ves- sel is a "girderless" type, allowing it to carry the maximum 11 rows in a hold and 13 rows on deck. The total TEU capacity is 4,571, of which 2,307 is in holds, 2,264 on deck, with 118 FEU and 132 TEU reefer sockets.

Pontoon-type hatch covers close the six holds, and each hatch cover is made up of three pan- els (exept No IF). Maximum panel weight is kept below 30 tons to suit port cranes.

Pusan Senator is powered by a Hyundai-

B&W 9K 90MC-C main engine, which devel- ops an MCR or 41,040 kW at 104 rpm, deliv- ering a service speed of 23.7 knots. Electric power is supplied by a pair of main diesel generators, with an output of 1,550 kW at 720 rpm; one main diesel generator with an output of 1,380 kW at 720 rpm; and one 300- kW emergency generator. The vessel is classed by GL. (Continued on page 57)

MRS Pioneer

Shipyard . .Frisian Shipyard Welgelegen (FSW)

Ship type Refined Sugar Carrier

Ship name MRS Pioneer

Shipowner Mackay Refined Sug

A product of the closely integrated and highly competitive shipbuilding sector in the north Netherlands, and Anglo-Australian in concept, the refined sugar carrier MRS

Pioneer is an exceptional vessel by any mea- sure. Although there have been earlier pro- jects entailing the adaptation of existing ves- sels for similar tasks, the 21,900-dwt MRS

Pioneer is touted as the first ship purpose- built as a fully self-sustaining carrier of refined sugar in bulk. The vessel marks a milestone for both the Australian-flag mer- cantile marine, and for Frisian Shipyard

Welgelegen (FSW) of Harlingen, one of

Europe's most modern yards. MRS Pioneer's, complex cargo system confers the capability to take the handling-sensitive, granulated material from the shore side terminal and distribute it efficiently and safely throughout (Continued on page 57)
