Amalihas been delivered Daewoo Ship- building & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. to BGCof Brunei in August, 2011. The vessel has a continuous upper deck with aft sunken deck, a raked stem with bulbous bow and a transom stern with open water type stern frame, two semi bal- anced rudders and two fixed pitch pro- pellers driven by electric propulsion motors through reduction gears based onDF engines. The cargo area is to be of double hull, and cofferdams which are lo- cated at forward and after part of cargo area and between cargo tanks with double bottom construction, and consist of fourcenter cargo tanks with Gaz Transport & Technigaz (GTT) membrane system (GT NO 96 E-2). The vessel is built with the Sealed LNG Carrier concept and appliedthe BV notation of CLEANSHIP(C)which is environmental class notation. It has the Green Passport according to IMO resolution and Certificates for the non-use of hazardous materials such as Asbestos, PCBs and CFCs.Various robust systems such as no single fault tolerant, application software, EMC management plan and others have been applied for archiving ship?s security and reliability and most major systems have been verified by Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) and Failure Mode and Ef- fect Analysis (FMEA). 22Maritime Reporter & Engineering News Great Shipsof 2011Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (HHI) delivered the 320,000 DWT VLOO F Whale to TMT (Today Makes Tomorrow) , on January 3, 2011. It is aship that has the capability to switch wet and dry trades.F Whale has one contin- uous freeboard deck from stem to sternwith forecastle deck, transverse bulk- heads and four longitudinal bulkheads in way of the cargo space. The ship has five center holds for oil or ore loading, five pairs of side cargo oil tanks, one pair of slop tanks and five pairs of water ballast tanks surrounding cargo tanks (holds). The five center holds are accessed through 10 hatches closed by one panelside-rolling type covers for dry trade. All hatch covers are operated by a hydrauli- cally driven rack-and-pinion mechanism and kept oil tight when the covers are in closed position.From the initial design stage, theunique design of F Whale has been fo- cused on operational efficiency for sav- ing time in loading/unloading port. Sixsets of electro-hydraulic, wire luffing type single jib crane with self-containedhydraulic power unit are fitted for han- dling of electro-hydraulic operated grab and dozers on deck. Each dozer and grabhandling crane has the capacity of 30metric ton S.W.L. on hook, and a 25m maximum outreach.Two sets of electric motor driven bal- last pumps are provided with a capacity of 4,000 cu. m./hr. to cope with a heavy loading rate. Each set of electric motor driven, con- trollable pitch propeller type thruster isequipped at the bow and stern. The com- bined use of bow and stern thrusters is designed to eliminate, or greatly reduce,the need for harbor tugs and for optimalmaneuvering time in port. F Whale has been designed to carry crude oil and limited product oil compat-ible with the tank coating system for wettrade. Most main cargo pipes are arranged in pipe ducts located beneaththe deck to escape the risk of oil-spill andmechanical damages on pipes. The vessel is able to load and discharge three different kinds of cargo oils simul- taneously without contamination. The cargo pump system allows maximum un- loading rate of cargo oil 16,500 cu. m./hr. with three main cargo pumps, which are driven by one variable speed controllable electric motor and a pair of three-stagesteam turbines. The cargo and ballast remote valve con- trol systems are electro- hydraulically op- erated. Cargo control and monitoring cover ullage measurement, operation of pumps and inert gas systems, and man- ual control is also available. Radar beam type level gauges have been fitted to cargo tanks, and electro pneumatic type level gauges are used in the ballast tanks. The vessel is, among others, equipped with the highly ad-vanced navigation system which supports integrated bridge operation such as route planning, maneuvering for collision and grounding avoidance and navigation monitoring. The vessel measures 339.8 x 60 x 31 m, with a design draft of 22.3m. It is pow- ered by a Hyundai-Wärtsilä 7RT- flex82T main engine. This develops 31,640 kW MCR at 80 rpm and drives the ship at 16.3 knots when running at90% of MCR and allowing a 15% sea margin. The Ship is classed by Lloyd'sRegister of Shipping, +100A1 Ore orOil Carrier, ESP, ShipRight (SDA, FDA, CM), +LMC, UMS, IGS, COW, LI, BWMP.
