Rule & Regulation, including MARPOL Annex VI, have been applied and H.F.O. tanks arranged as double hull. Other requirements and industrial standards also have been consid- ered such as OCIMF recommendations, USCG Requirement and criteria. The vessel is intended for the trade of crude oil having a flash point below 60 degrees C in cargo tanks and has been constructed as double side and bottom in way of cargo tanks and arranged with five center/side tanks and two slop tanks.

The cargo handling system consists of three cargo pumps with capacity of 5,000 cu. m. each driven by steam turbine and three cargo manifolds on deck for three segregation of cargo loading and discharging.

The main engine is Sulzer 7RTA84T-B with MCR output of 36,960 PS at 74 rpm driving a fixed pitch propeller.
