Hitachi Zosen's New Vanguard (Continued from page 47) 1

J efficiency, the VLCC is equipped with the

Super Stream Duct, which was developed by

Hitachi Zosen. It also features a large-capaci- ty shaft power generating system that accu- mulates excess electric power generated dur- ing navigation, an advanced energy-saving technique. Driven by a HZ MAN B&W 7S80MC — a low-speed, long-stroke constant- pressure supercharged diesel engine, the ship's operational efficiency is further enhanced by a large bulbous. Finally, the hull is coated with self-polishing copolymer (SPC) paint to ensure long-term hull-fouling preven- tion.

Golden Ocean Group, to put it mildly, has been a big driver of new ship orders in 1998.

The Golden Ocean Group-managed fleet is set to grow to 12 bulkers and 18 VLCCs by the year 2001. The group's contribution to the

VLCC sector is put in perspective considering that 15 of the 35 VLCCs on order or under con- struction in Japan on March 1, 1998 were for

Golden Ocean ownership or operation. Golden

Ocean Group's dynamic leader, Fred Cheng, reasons: "Trading VLCCs over 25 years of age is simply not economic. It is the shipping industry's responsibility to renew and replace old ships with new and improved designs with the interests of safety and pollution prevention in mind. Carrying crude oil in the quantities that VLCCs do can be a serious risk to the environment, and it is the industry's responsi- bility to minimize all risks insofar as it is pos- sible. This is simply not a theater for Russian roulette."
