Great Ships of the Year cent MCR (62,940 PS) with 20 per- cent sea margin. With respect to vibration and noise, the vessel has demonstrated excellent results through sea trials. Especially the maximum vibration levels in living quarters including the wheelhouse, which was clocked at 4.4 mm/sec, which is below the allowable limit of 7 mm/sec, peak.

The vessel is arranged with seven cargo holds, fore of the engine room, and consists of 16 bays with 14 hatches, with three panel hatch covers in way of each cargo hold (except two panel for No.l hatch cover). The cargo hold is equipped with cell guides and support struc- ture for the carriage of 40-ft. ISO containers, 11 rows and seven tiers, with depth of holds for containers of four tiers with 9 ft. and three tiers with 10 ft. high in general.

Double loading of 20 ft. containers in hold is considered in the 40-ft. cell guide. Containers on deck can be generally carried with 13 rows and in five, six or seven tiers.

The vessel is designed to carry total 4,121 TEU containers, 1,698 in hold and 2,423 TEU on deck.

Owner Stena R0R0

Builder Hyundai Heavy Industries

Built at Hyundai Heavy Indus- tries, the 3,500-lane m Stena Britan- nica was scheduled for delivery to

Stena R0R0 in Sweden on Novem- ber 30, 2002. Measuring 692 x 96 x 51 ft. (210.8 x 29.3 x 15.6 m), and a design draft of 21 ft. (6.3 m), the vessel is powered by four MAN

B&W 9L40/54 engines, each devel- oping 6,480 kW at 500 rpm driving a pair of Rolls-Royce CP propellers through two Renk twin-input/sin- gle-output gearboxes. These gear- boxes reduce engine speed to 150 rpm enabling the vessel to move at a service speed of 22 knots. The vessel, which will operate between the U.K. and Holland and Ireland, was designed to comply with the new Stockholm Agreement Rules and IMO A 265 for the damage sta- bility. Four fixed decks (1, 3, 5 and 7) with one hoistable car deck on starboard side of deck five are pro- vided for vehicles offering 3,500 lane m. Vehicles will be loaded and unloaded through a wide stern and bow ramp/door installed on deck three. Two alternators, each developing 2,400 kW take power from the gearboxes and four Hyundai-built MAN B&W 8L23/30H diesel-driven sets, each developing 1,200 kW are provided to the electrical system.

Twin flap rudder is adopted, and two 2,200 kW bowthrusters are fitted for powerful maneuverability.
