British Harrier

Shipyard: Samsung Heavy

Industries Co., Ltd., Korea

Shiptype: Double Hull Tanker

Ship name: British Harrier

Shipowner/operator: . .BP Shipping

An ultra modern double hull tanker, British Harrier was designed and constructed by

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) with an emphasis on environmen- tal safety. The vessel features innovative HFO storage tanks with longitudinal partition bulk- heads. Structural design was accomplished through state-of-the- art computer calculation for 40- year fatigue life and enhanced scantling in the highly corrosive top and bottom cargo regions.

Operational safety and flexibili- ty has been accomplished through the installation of a dual vent and

IG main line, a water deluge sys- tem around the lifeboat and accom- modations, twin ladders for all cargo and ballast tanks, inspection walkways in tanks, modern ECDIS and Integrated Navigation System and an ergonomic bridge design complying with Lloyd's Register of

Shipping NAV1 notation.

British Harrier features 12 cargo tanks and two slop tanks, and can carry three grades of cargo. The vessel's cargo pumping system consists of three pumps, each with an auto-unloading sys- tem and stripping pump. The bal- last system features two main lines and large capacity pumps.

British Harrier is powered by a

Samsung B&W 6S70MC main diesel engine providing a service speed of 14.5 knots.
