Ship Name High Endeavour

Ship Type Oil/Chem Tanker

Ship Owner D'Amico Societa Di

Navigazione SPA

Ship Builder STX Shipbuilding

STX Shipbuilding developed an advanced 47K tanker with nine cargo segregations for the purpose of handling diverse cargoes, and delivered High

Endeavour to the d'Amico Soc. Di

Navigazione S.P.A in Italy in September.

The design is single-decked with fore- castle, and features a double hull. This contains a cargo space divided into seven pairs of tanks, and the center and transverse bulkheads on stools are cor- rugated, and no structural obstacles inside of cargo tank. With side stiffening included in the double hull space, and deck beams arranged externally on top of the cambered deck, the tanks present a flush internal surface.

Two slop tanks, residual tank and a heavy fuel bunker are positioned between the cargo tanks and the engine room, and the side and bottom in the double hull are given over to water bal- last.

High Endeavour is designed primarily to carry crude oil, oil products and IMO

Type II & III chemicals. More than 330 commodities, including sodium hydrox- ide solution, can be loaded in cargo tanks which are coated with 300 microns of phenolic epoxy.

The piping system is designed for nine cargo segregations, with ten cargo holds connected with a Frank Mohn (Framo) hydraulic motor driven, submerged pump rated at 600 cu. m./hr. Four cargo tanks and two slop tanks are provided and served by six 300 cu. m./hr. pumps.

Water ballast capacity is 24,050 cu. m., carried in tanks coated with a light col- ored tar free epoxy, and handled by two

Frank Mohn 750 cu. m./hr. hydraulic pumps.

And each ballast tank has overflow line for Ballast Exchange which is oper- ated by auto remote control valve sys- tem. An STX MAN B&W 6S50MC-C

Mk 7 main engine is fitted, developing 12,900 bhp full power at 127 rpm and running at an NCR (85% MCR) of 10,960 bhp x 120.3 rpm to drive STX designed FP propeller for a service speed of 15 knots, allowing a 15% sea margin.

A Kawasaki 950 kW bow thruster and

Becker rudder are fitted and are designed to give the vessel excellent maneuverability with MANOVR nota- tion. Three sets of MAN B&W Holeby diesel-driven alternators powered by

STX built diesel engines supply the electrical power. The steam is generated by an 18,000 kg/hr. Kangrim oil-fired boiler, and a 1,200 kg/hr. composite boiler. Control can be effected from temperature -48. Cargo tanks are insu- lated with 120mm thick rigid polyurethane foam clad with 0.5 mm aluzink steel sheeting.

The LPG carrier is able to carry two cargoes simultaneously, one of which may be refrigerated. Cargoes which can be carried include anhydrous ammonia, butadiene, butane (ISO and normal), butylene, 1,3-propane, commercial propane (max 3.0 mole % ethane in the liquid phase) and propylene.

A reliquefaction plant of the carrier can handle two compatible cargo grades simultaneously and major equipments such as four oil free, two stage cargo compressors and motors are located on main deck level in sheltered spaces.

One cargo heater (combined with con- denser) and inert gas generator is pro- vided. Three 1.200 kW diesel genera- tors, one auxiliary boiler (3,0(X) kg/hr) and one exhaust gas economized 1,500 kg/hr) are provided.

Polar Viking, is capable of carrying other products, provided that their toxic- ity, aggressiveness, pressure, tempera- ture and specific gravity are within the limits of the design.

Polar Viking is a 60,000 cu. m. LPG carrier, a fully-refrigerated type with a cargo space divided into four individual holds to suit four prismatic cargo tanks was delivered in October 2004 to

Hydroship AS, Norway by Hyundai shipyard. The 60,000cu. m. LPG carrier vessel has an overall length of 672 ft. (204.9 m), width of 105.6 ft. (32.2 m) and depth of 68.2 ft. (20.8 m) with a design draft of 35.4 ft. (10.8 m). The vessels is powered by a B&W 5S60MC-

C main engine with a NCR output of 11,900 bhp at 94.6 rpm, enabling it to sail at a service speed of 16 knots with 15% sea margin. Electrical supply is derived from three diesel driven alterna- tors of 1,200 kW, plus an emergency unit of 130 kW. Polar Viking has a cargo space divided into four cargo holds. And each hold accommodates a free-standing and saddle supported prismatic cargo tank, designed for a maximum vapor pressure of 0.25 bars g. and a lowest 30 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News
