Designed jointly between the shipowner and shipbuilder, the ship was designed to set new stan- dards for the ecological and eco- nomical transport of oil and chem- icals on the Seven Seas. In order to achieve and maintain this lofty goal, the ship, among other fea- tures, is highly automated, featur- ing an Integrated Automation

System which consists of three main parts: alarm, monitoring, power management and control on eng. auxiliary system; cargo and ballast handling control system; and control system for main engine, telegraph, etc.

The 433 x 78.7 ft. (132 x 24 m) ship features seven work stations; two work stations located on the bridge, three in the cargo control room and two in the engine control room. All stations communicate via a LAN, using TCP/IP and

Ethernet standards.

Monitoring and operation is available at all work stations pro- vided that the operator is given the access code. Therefore, operation is also available at the substations in case of an emergency situation.

A special feature of the vessel is that the valve control system acts on 207 valves via mimic pictures
