It is equipped with various optimum, high quality, effi- cient and environmental friendly systems, such as: • Electronically controlled M/E (MAN B&W 7S80 ME-C8 x 1 set) with a Pre-Swirl Stator to achieve energy sav- ing; • Various energy saving monitoring systems such as centralized control sys- tem, shaft power measuring system, ship’s performance monitoring system, and M/E & G/E cylinder press monitor- ing systems; • Design for environmental friendly ship with clean design, use of low sulfur

FO and emission control; • Design for crew comfortable with severe vibration and noise requirements defined DNV class and various entertain- ment equipment including satellite TV system; • Design for safe ship with hull stress and tail shaft monitoring systems; • Design for anti-piracy system; • for anti corrosion in water and bal- last tanks by using anti-abrasive epoxy paint; • Easy ship’s operation by one man bridge equipment and arrangements; and • Optimum design for operating at se- vere tropical condition (50 °C design in

E/R).
