Cargo handling systems are designed to be capable of loading or discharging the LNG within 12 hours using eight cargo pumps with capacity of 1.700 cu. m./hr. and four (4) stripping/spray pumps.

Liquefied cargo handling equipments such as two (2) sets of main cargo pumps, one set of spray/stripping pump, one set of capacitance type level gauge includ- ing back-up capacitance type top/bottom sensor and one set of float type level gauge are fitted in tripod mast construction which forms a complete assembly unit per cargo tank by incorporating all outfittings and piping in cargo tanks. Vapor cargo handling equip- ments such as two high duty compressors, two low duty compressors, one main vaporizer, one forcing vaporizer and two boil-off/warm-up heater are

Circle 234 on Reader Service Card bridge in Boston is successfully satisfied by applying the folding type antenna mast.

The main powering unit consist of the Kawasaki UA- 360 (MCR: 36,000 ps x 88 rpm) Cross compound steam turbine with high pressure turbine and low pres- sure turbine, double reduction gear, main condenser including astern turbine. Two (2) sets of dual fuel burn- ing main boilers supply the steam for the main turbine, turbo generator, main feed water pump and other steam driven machinery are designed to be capable of burn- ing of heavy fuel oil and also gas fuel by the low duty compressor through boil-off/warm-up heater for the use of boil-off gas.

The ship's Integrated Automation System (IAS) has been designed, programmed and installed by Korea

Honeywell, using the Total Plant Solution (TPS) sys- tem with redundant data highway (LCN).

IAS dedicates the data acquisition for centralized process monitoring, incremental levels of distributed digital controls, history and alarm collection, reporting, communication with other process subsystems, open system provisions, control of extension alarm system and integration of extension VDU system for process/alarm monitoring.

The bridge is designed for optimum operational safe- ty, efficiency, takes advantages of current technology and rational navigational methods. For the bridge oper- ation under normal conditions by one person, the sys- tem comprises a modular workstation arrangement, meeting all design and equipment layout requirements in accordance with DNV notation WI-OC.

Name MV Midnight Sun

Builder NASSCO

Owner Totem Ocean Trailer Express

Type Trailership 32

Early this year National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSC0), a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, delivered the M.V. Midnight Sun to Totem Ocean Trailer

Express, Inc. (TOTE). The Midnight Sun is significant as it was the first commercial dry cargo vessel to be built in the U.S. in 10 years, and the first of two new Orca-class trailerships being built by NASSC0 for TOTE's service from Tacoma,

Wash., to Anchorage, Alaska. The M.V. Midnight Sun is a 840- ft. long, 118-ft. wide (256 x 35.9-m) RoRo cargo ships capa- ble of carrying highway trailers as large as 53 ft. (16.1 m) in length. Cargo decks are 360,000 sq. ft. and able to carry up to 600 cargo trailers and 220 autos as well as oversized freight. The ship employs twin-screw, diesel-electric propul- sion that can achieve a speed of more than 24 knots. The ships' cargo can be loaded and discharged in nine hours, with the speed and efficiency of cargo handling being an important competitive advantage for TOTE. M.V. Midnight Sun and its sister ship M.V. North Star have received several prestigious awards for their environmentally sensitive features. These awards include the States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task

Force Legacy Award for 2000, the Alaska Department of

Environmental Conservation Commissioner's 2000 Pollution

Prevention Award, and the U.S. Coast Guard's William M.
