An exception to this would lie in cargo tanks num- bered one, two and 13, where the longitudinal bulk- head is arranged in the centerline.

Cargo tank capacity amounts to 25,220 cu. m. with payload cargo reaching a 24,720 cu. m. total at 98 per- cent cargo tank capacity. Reflect- ing the vessels' high standards, each tank is served by its own sub- merged hydraulically driven cargo pump and associated piping made of 316L stainless steel.

Hydraulic power packs are avail- able to give a maximum discharge rate of 1,760 cu. m./h plus one water ballast pump at 300 cu. m./h.

A fully integrated cargo service system controls and monitors every operation and includes, in each cargo tank, temperature sensors at three levels, an internal cone antenna for level indica- tion, transmitter gauges, remote pressure sensor of vapor space and independent high level (95 percent), and overfill (98 percent) alarms. This system is topped off with individual independent heating and cooling
