HYPACK's Survey Program

Shipbuilder EISA Shipyard

Vessel name Ever Victory

Vessel type Panamax bulk carrier

Owner/operator MPC Capital/First Steamship

The delivery of Ever Victory marks the return of EISA Shipyard to the Panamax bulk carrier market, after a period of construction of a series of sophisticated product carriers and container ships.

Built to a traditional design with single hull flush decked all aft configuration, there are seven holds with upper and lower wing tanks, the latter being joined with the double bottom tanks and separated at centerline by a pipe duct, and used, like the upper wings, for a water ballast.

The holds are covered by hydraulic operated side-rolling type hatch covers on the main deck.

Each hatch cover has two panels, with a clear opening of 16 m wide and 14.4 m long, and it is possible to open only one panel, if needed. The seven holds are arranged for the carriage of ore, coal, grains and other bulk cargoes, and strengthened for heavy cargoes and grab dis- charge. The transverse corrugated bulkheads are built on stools and the vessel is designed to sail loaded but with no. 2, 4 and 6 holds empty, or with no. 4 hold empty only.

Fuel oil is stored in deep tanks inside the engine room. A sophisticated epoxy painting system was used on the entire vessel.

The structure incorporates approximately 11.6 percent of high tensile steel, with grade

AH-36 used in the main deck structure.

Ever Victory is fitted with a sophisticated machinery automation system, which was installed for control and monitoring of the machinery by a computer network with termi- nals installed in the engine room and accom- modations.

The ship reaches a 14.5-knot service speed powered by a Sulzer 6RTA 62U main engine.
