the maritime industry the strike of midnight on December 3 1 , 1 9 9 9 will
mean nothing more and nothing less than any other measure of time.
The manner in which boats and ships are designed, built, outfitted and

operated has changed rather dramatically during the past decade. Everything from the
advent of powerful computing hardware and software both maritime specific and general business to sweeping consolidation on the vessel building, vessel owning and marine
equipment manufacture side has drastically altered the traditional maritime landscape.
Advancing technology and consolidation have been recurring themes in the pages of
Maritime

matically, it is a safe bet that in this generation there will be no manner in which products
will be moved more efficiently from point A to point B than via ships and boats. This is not
to say that radical changes will not be incorporated. The rapid progression toward the building of the new gas turbine powered FastShips as well as a surge of orders for fleets of
newer, larger, faster passenger vessels are signs that the "need for speed" will continue to
grow, driving development in all industries, including maritime.
While the trend is toward consolidation in all sectors, and while deep corporate pockets
and capabilities are particularly welcome when the time comes to set and spend the R & D
budget, medium and small-sized players maintain an enviable position, in part because
smaller companies are sometimes more flexible and adept at providing immediate, customer-mandated solutions for the business opportunities du jour. One of the keys to success for any maritime company of any size in 2000 and beyond is gaining more market sector knowledge and savvy, while carefully monitoring the effects of expansion as compared
to a company's overall goals.

Shipping outperforming offshore on OSE

Higher oil prices have helped the Oslo
Stock Exchange's shipping index, which
features maritime and offshore shares, to
rise by 33.7 percent so far this year - outperforming the exchange's other indexes. Share prices of offshore shares have
decreased for two months now, resisting
the influence of continued buoyant oil
prices. The value of shares on the Main
List dropped 5.6 percent in September
and 13.6 percent in October. The 19.6
percent price fall recorded by the seismic company Petroleum Geo-Services
(PGS), the biggest offshore company on
the Exchange, was the main contributor.

Only three offshore companies
increased their value: Polar Holding
(POL) rose almost 11 percent following
merger talks with District Offshore
(DOF), topping the winners list. Ugland
Nordic Shipping (UNS) and Nortrans
Offshore (NOL) also experienced gains
in October. The cruise company Royal
Caribbean Cruises (RCCL) rose 17.7
percent in October holding the fall in the
shipping index to 2.2 percent. Actinor
Shipping (ACS) rose 23.3 percent, while
the Swedish shipping company Atlantic
Container Line (ACL) moved up 9.5

Bollinger's Barge Business Is Booming

Well-known in the vessel building
industry as a quality builder of various
vessels and as a specialist in ship and
barge repair, conversions and barge flaring, Lockport, La.-based Bollinger
Shipyards has made a name for itself as
a major builder of barges used on inland
waterways and ocean-going uses. Stemming from the shipyard's growth are five
contracts for 17 specialized large barges
ranging in sizes from 240 to 365 ft.
(73.1 x 111.2 m) Some were recently
delivered, while others will be sent off
before year-end 2000.
According to Lynn Falgout, vice
president and general manager of
Bollinger Marine Fabricators, "Until
April 1997, we had had a limited barge
program in eight shipyards. We upgraded our capacity that year when we
acquired the former McDermott shipyard in Amelia, La., which is a 67-acre
dedicated barge building facility with
large, covered construction buildings. It
is now known as Bollinger Marine Fabricators, LLC. It, along with $2 million
capital improvement program, has given
us the capacity to launch as many as
three hopper barges per week as demonstrated with our recently completed
MEMCO contract."
"At the time of purchase," Falgout
added, "McDermott had a contract for,
but had not yet begun construction of
250, 200 x 35 x 13 ft. (60 x 10.6 x 3.9
m) and 14 box and rake hopper barges
for MEMCO located in St. Louis, Mo.
We began building those barges in April
1996, and completed that contract ahead
of schedule in March 1999."
The largest of the contracts amounts to
six barges designed by Shearer & Associates, Metairie, La. Measuring 260 x 60
x 14 ft. (79.2 x 18.2 x 42.6 m), the vessels were built for the PCS Phosphate
Company located in Raleigh, N.C. Two
of the barges will be covered hopper
barges built to carry phosphate rock or
fertilizer between PCS Phosphate's
Aurora, N.C. mine and plant and the
port at Morehead City, N.C. Each will
be equipped to transport 3,000 metric
tons of products and will house fiberglass, telescoping rolling covers.
Designed to carry sulfuric or phosphoric acid, two are 12,000 BBL double
skin tank barges with two integral stainless steel cargo tanks equipped with two
electric-driven deep well turbine pumps.
Cargo systems valves will be flanged
gate valves specifically designed and
manufactured for acid service, while all
cargo tanks will have a remote read-out
level sensor, and sight glass and fittings

for future installation of a vapor control

system.
The final two of the six-part barge
contract calls for double skin barges

built to carry molten sulfur. The same

size as the bulk cargo and sulfuric acid
barges, this pair will have two integral
mild steel cargo tanks of 12,000 BBL

delivery following completion at the Morgan City,

gensets.
The longliner's hull measures 13 ft.
(3.9 m) molded depth and will include a
four-man cabin aft of the engine room.
An insulated and refrigerated 7,000 cu.
foothold will stow approximately
250,000 lbs. of iced fish in front of the

Transition In History: A Look At The Panama Canal

Dubbed "The Greatest Engineering Wonder of the World,"
the Panama Canal has experienced a whirlwind run since
President Woodrow Wilson flicked a switch of the first gushes of water to flow through the 51-mile body of water that is
arguably the most important shipping channel in world.
by Regina P. Ciardiello
It was 1914 and it was as though Central America and Europe situated at opposite sides of the Atlantic were worlds apart. For it was in the Central American
country of Panama where workers from many nations joined forces to build the massive Panama Canal, while hostilities in Europe were quickly leading to WWI.
Together, these workers, who came from all walks of life and all different backgrounds - all shared one dream - to be part of a piece of history that to this day, is
considered to be one of the world's greated engineering feats.
The canal will soon be handed back to its homeland from the U.S., per a treaty
signed on September 7, 1977. But it was not a member of U.S. or Panamanian government who initiated the idea for the canal, rather a King from Spain named
Charles who reigned in the early 1500's. It was King Charles, who, in 1534,
explored the possibilities of constructing a canal in the region. His revelation never

switching between both directions during the rest of the day.
Originally constructed at 500 ft., the Commission plans to widen the cut to at least
630 ft. along straight stretches and 730 ft. at curved areas. Scheduled for a 2014
completion, the approximate cost of the project, whose dry excavation is 91 percent
finished will cost approximately $17 million to fund post year 2000. The cut's wet
excavation is halfway complete, while overall drilling and blasting are about 70 percent done.
Throughout its existence, the Canal has accommodated vessels of all shapes and
sizes the first being SS Ancon on August 15, 1914.
According to the Panama Canal Commission, the tanker Arco Texas holds the top
spot of most cargo carried through the canal. The vessel, which passed through the
canal on December 15, 1981, held 65,229 long tons of oil. The Commission also
cites that U.S. Navy hydrofoil, Pegasus, in June 1979, performed that quickest transit - from Miraflores through Gatun Locks in two hours and 41 minutes. An incredible feat as the average transit time (from port to port) for this type of ship normally stands between eight and 10 hours.

The Signing of the Panama Canal Treaty CTorrijos-Carter Treaty) by General O m a r Torrijos
and President J i m m y C a r t e r occurred on September 7, 1977.

A change in course
September 7, 1977 was an instrumental day for both the Panamanian and
U.S. Governments as it markes the first
the signing of the Panama Canal Treaty,
first step taken by both nations in Panama's quest to take back control of the
Canal.
Known as the Torrijos-Carter Treaty,
the document stated that on December
31, 1999, the Republic of Panama
would be permitted to take control of
the canal disbanding all U.S. opera-

tions. Set into force on October 1, 1979,

the treaty provided the Republic of
Panama with a 20-year transition period
allowing the nation to prepare itself
for its role .
The treaty also called for the establishment of a new agency of the U.S.
Government - the Panama Canal Commission - abolishing the former Panama
Canal Company. The purpose of this
organization was to take action in the
improvement, upgrading and maintenance of the canal until the transition
date. In addition, the treaty also set forth
a toll rate increase of 29.3 percent in
order to provide Panama with canal revenues. A slew of improvements, in
addition to the Galliard Cut widening
encompass new locks towing locomotives, locks machinery and equipment
upgrade, as well as enhanced vessel traffic management system. According to
the Commission, the first two units of
the new locks are currently in place,
having already performed successful
factory tests. Eighteen production units
are expected by February 2002. Regard-

ing the vessel traffic management system (VTS), the enhanced version went
into effect this past July. More than 50
electronic boxes have already been
implemented and are up and running in
the Commission's floating equipment
and shore sites.
Tolls, which were last increased on
January 1, 1998, will remain the same
after the handing-over. Vessel rates continue at $2.57 per PC. Net Ton, Laden;
and $2.04 per PC. Net Ton, Ballast.

Marine Electronics Update

Electronic Matters Rule The Day In Amsterdam

The maritime industry gathered in
Amsterdam last month at the semiannual Europort Exhibition to display
the latest technological advances in
marine products and systems. While the
show maintains a large local contingency a good deal of the exhibitors
are local agents rather than the manufacturing company principles it is
well regarded as one of the industry's
premier events for showcasing new
products and services to an international shipowning community.
Of particular note and not just in
Amsterdam are the tremendous
strides which are continually made on
the marine electronics products and systems front. Competition in this segment
is very keen, and the category is dominated by very large, usually diverse
industrial conglomerates that have made
consolidation of systems and capabilities a quasi-sport in recent years. The
need by shipowners to meet increasingly strict rules and regulations with
advanced electronic products and systems and the economies of scale of
being a "one stop shop" for bottom-line
minded shipyards have been primaries
drivers in the urge to merge. In addition,
the task of continually delivering
advanced products and systems which
are increasingly easy to use requires that

technology, Transas' Andrey Vorobiev,
chief design engineer, Marine Navigation Systems, points out that ECDIS is
simply the cusp of development, and
that the next step will involve integration of all shipboard systems.
Echoing that thought was Patrick T,
Enright, Litton Marine System's (LMS)
new director, Strategic Business Unit
Machinery Automation, who recently

joined LMS
to lead the development of a complete ship control and
monitoring system. LMS is a particularly strong example of a company that
has steadily built through acquisition, as
it has integrated a host of widely recognized marine industry manufacturers in
recent years, including Decca and C.
Plath. Litton has traditionally exuded a
strong market confidence confidence
backed by a significant backlog of
orders on both the commercial and naval

fronts. Today is no different, as Litton

touts its position aboard the largest
cruise ship ever built Royal
Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas built by
Kvaerner Masa-Yards. "The IBS for

SSP Pod Approved

For Service

After more than two years of development and successful performance trials
at Howaldswerke-Deutsche Werft AG in
Kiel, the Siemens-Schottel Propulsor
(SSP) consortium was granted approval
for the new SSP marine propulsion system. Classification society Det Norske
Veritas was responsible for technical
acceptance of the propulsion system for
worldwide service.
The SSP is the result of a successful
cooperation between two German
marine industry stalwarts, Siemens
Marine Engineering Subdivision and
Messrs Schottel of Spay. Work began in
1997 on the development of a marine
propulsion "pod" system that would be

offering not only economic advantages,

but superior technological performance.
The pod-type propulsion system features an electric motor housed in a pod
or nacelle suspended beneath the hull of
a vessel, and providing direct drive to a
propeller of propellers. The fact that the
pod can be rotated about its vertical axis
too, so that it points in any required
direction, means that the system also
performs a steering function.
The power output of the unit tested at
the shipyard amounts to 7MW, which
corresponds to 9,510 hp.
Similar type pod systems have already
been adopted for technically advanced
uses, and have been specified and operational aboard such high value vessels
such as cruise ships. The system is particularly interesting for the cruise ship
market because its twin screws produce
low noise and vibration levels to ensure
passenger comfort.
Siemens, one of the world's foremost
suppliers of electric marine propulsion
systems, provided a permanent-magnet
motor, which has permanent magnets
attached to the rotating rotor. The design
of the permanent-magnet motor has
been undergoing development and testing for the past 12 years and is now
ready for general use, including by the
Germany Navy. The Propulsor employs
the patented "Twin Propeller System"
developed by Schottel GmbH. The prin(Continued

Containership Safety: Averting Disaster

Through Research & Design
Containership design development has grown as rapidly as its gain in
popularity as the vessel of choice in many product shipping niches.
Germanischer Lloyd's Dr. Hans Payer, who has been on the forefront
of containership safety and design issues, examines the strength
requirements for large, fast containerships.
The structural safety of modern large
container carriers, with their high
demands on the hull, could, and still can
only be guaranteed by modern methods
of analysis. These demands include an
extreme deck opening ratio, resulting in
considerable deformations due to wave
and deck load on hatch covers. Hence,
the development of the container vessels
was accompanied by continual advancement of computational methods.
Today's Panamax vessel offers up to

4,800 stowage positions, whereby the

percentage of deck containers has risen
to more than 50 percent. Optimization
focuses on minimizing the steel weight
and maximizing tonnage, as well as
maximizing the stowage positions. Low
consumption diesel propulsion engines
also contribute towards greater operating economy, with the energy needed
per container being only about half that
of the third generation container vessels
running on steam turbines.
After these optimized containerships
were introduced, an increased incidence
of forebody damage has been observed,
as reported also in a study by the Salvage Association. Typical features
include local and global buckling of
brackets, wing bulkheads and decks,
which considerably reduces the ultimate
strength margin of the structure.
According to this study, high speeds
during bad weather, because of the pressure of time schedules as well as a lack
of "seaman's intuition" for extreme
loads due to the vessel size, are generally taken as the primary cause of extreme
loads higher than previously assumed.
Very often, the damage is only noticed
in the port of destination, and usually
the crew can no longer ascertain the
cause.
Ships with a widely flared forebody
system have, as was already the case for
container carriers of the second generation, a good seakeeping behavior without green water on deck. So from the
viewpoint of the shipmaster, there is no
reason to reduce speed in a seaway.
Only if the danger is recognized, can the
risk of foreship damage be reduced

appreciably through changes in speed

and course.
It is noticeable that in the North
Atlantic, mainly smaller vessels of
about 591 ft. (180 m) in length are
affected, whereas in the North Pacific it
is more so the larger ships. This obser-

vation by the Salvage Association is

confirmed by the results of a research
project conducted by Germanischer
Lloyd, in which inter alia the waveinduced loads and bending moments on
various container carriers were measured. Similar problems have also
occurred on modern cruise liners, where

a projecting bow is intended to give the

ship the looks of an elegant yacht.
A significant advantage for passenger
ships is, however, that the bridge is situated far forward, and the master is thus
much closer to the bow action than in a
jumbo containership.
Nonetheless,

segment a strong trend towards fast

ships: at present, four jumbo ferries and
two fast cruise liners are under construction to GL class, all with service
speeds of around 28 knots. GL immediately took appropriate action as a result
of these findings, and initiated a
research project in which, amongst
other factors, extreme loads on the forebodies of large and fast ships are being
investigated. The development of fast
RoRo passenger ferries is the reason
why a conventional but very fast (28
knots) RoRo passenger ferry was chosen as the reference ship for the new EU
research project DEXTREMEL. In this
project, the extreme loads on the ships
are being investigated in depth, with the
loads on the forebody representing one
of the main aspects. Another work
package involves determining the structural reserve strength for the elements of
a damaged structure and, associated
with this, an investigation of the possibilities for enlarging this residual structural strength without increasing the
steel weight appreciably. In these studies, peak pressures cased by slamming
are being calculated for a variety of bow
shapes using modern methods such as
computational fluid dynamics. Naturally, the results obtained from the example of a fast RoRo passenger ferry can
be transferred fully to other ship types
including the container carriers mentioned.
The initial results have already been
incorporated into the new edition of the
Construction Rules for Hull Structures
(Edition 1998). The new regulations
include increased design pressures for
the forebody structure, including the
forecastle, together with structural
requirements and guidelines on increasing the ultimate strength under extreme
loads. The consideration of stresses
caused by hydrodynamic impact forces
on the forebody, as part of the global
analyses of the large containerships, is
the current state-of-the-art ship structural analysis at Germanischer Lloyd.
Just how urgent these amendment to
the Rules are with a view to improving
the operational safety of modern containerships can be seen from the fact
that responsible-minded shipowners after having been informed by GL have already, before official publication,
made them a contractual requirement
for their order of Panamax as well as
post-Panamax vessels.

Rochem Snags $ 2 Million

Celebrity O r d e r
As the cruise market comes under continued scrutiny for its environmental
practices, companies such as
Rochem Environmental, Inc. that
manufacture advanced environmental
solutions should flourish.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.-owned
Celebrity Cruises recently awarded

contract to install a Rochem FM-Module gray water membrane system on two
of its ships, Galaxy and Mercury. The
contract has an option for three additional units.
Gray water, almost 90 percent of
which is coming from a cruise ship's
sinks and staterooms, can be legally discharged in most places. By using the
Rochem system, Celebrity expects to
significantly purify gray water that is
released.
The membrane system rejects bacteria, suspended solids and organic matter,
making the equipment suited for gray
water treatment. "We believe this is
another important step forward in our

Northrop Grumman Readies New Gas Turbine For Market

As the use of gas turbines as main ship's propulsion
power continues to grow in popularity, particularly in
the niche vessel segments of cruise shipping and rapid
transport, Northrop Grumman recently announced that
its WR-21 Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) advancedcycle gas turbine ship propulsion engine has begun
final development tests for the market which has most
widely used the product in ship propulsion applications
naval.
The engine, which is being developed for naval warship applications through a team led by Northrop
Grumman, is being put through its final paces at a
naval facility in Philadelphia. England's Rolls-Royce
is designing and developing the gas generator and
power turbines, while AlliedSignal's Aerospace Systems & Equipment Group in Los Angeles is providing
the Intercooler and Recuperator Heat-Exchanger

Cores.
The WR-21 is touted particularly for its fuel efficiency, as it will reportedly reduce both operation and support costs significantly while keeping the naval ships it
serves battle ready. To date, it is a candidate for the
U.S. Navy's DD-21 program and for European
advanced combatants.
"In initial tests, the WR-21 has already demonstrated
a 25 percent annual propulsion fuel savings, compared
to the existing gas turbine engines on a typical Navy
destroyer," said Jim Hupton, vice president, Northrop
Grumman Marine Systems. "The WR-21 is now predicted to deliver a 27 percent propulsion fuel savings in
its initial mechanical drive production configuration.
An additional benefit from the newly developed gas
turbine is a lower exhaust temperature, which can help
to reduce the infrared signature of the vessel. Also, the

system is designed to reduce airborne noise by 70 percent over current marine gas turbine models. The WR21 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, as
well, and individual modules of the unit can be
removed and replaced aboard the ship.

Owner
Royal Caribbean
By David Tinsley
Slipping out through the Finnish archipelago on a Sunday morning at the end of October, Voyager of the Seas cut a figure of
unprecedented scale in the passenger ship
sector, symbolizing both the surging growth
in the cruise market and the fertility of the
Finnish maritime technology cluster.
The 137,200-gt cruise ship, whose towering superstructure and an air draft of 208-ft.
(63.5-m) belies a relatively tender draft of
just over 28-ft. (8.8-m), marks a new highpoint in the industry's unerring endeavors to
foster long-term sustainable business development in the seagoing leisure sector.
Although the shipbuilding price from

Kvaerner Masa-Yards was around $500 million, about seven times the current cost of a
VLCC, Royal Caribbean estimates that its
overall project expenditure in bringing Voyager of the Seas to the market has been closer to $700 million. The group's overall fleet
expansion program is no less astounding
than its record-breaking new cruise liner,
with $3.6 billion being ploughed into newbuild investments spanning deliveries up to
the summer of 2002.

At a time when European shipbuilding is

Masa-Yards (KMY) and its forebears.

The shipbuilder's track record in meeting delivery undertakings has been reinforced by its delivery of the latest, seminal vessel on schedule. The accomplishment has been all the greater for the
production setbacks it suffered during
the early part of the year when the ship
sustained a fire and mainly smokeincurred damage while alongside at
Turku.

a new showcase for the concept of

redundancy, applied to the main shipboard operating systems, and signifying
central concerns with issues of reliability and safety.
The design of the new leviathan succeeds in combining the largest-ever
cruiseship passenger capacity with spacious staterooms and public areas,
accentuated by the truly remarkable,

four-deck high, interior promenade, culminating at each end in

an 11-deck high atrium. Evocative of the
renowned Burlington
Arcade in London, the
Royal Promenade extends for 394 ft.
(120 m) through the heart of the vessel,
flanked by a wide selection of shops,

restaurants and entertainment areas, and

incorporating special lighting and coloring effects to change its ambience, just
as the day turns into night. The fact that

"Like no vacation on earth" is emblazoned along the sides of the hull of a

vessel in which the design focus has
been not only on combining the biggestever cruise passenger volume with very
high standards of comfort and service,
but also on melding passenger scale
with considerable variety in shipboard
activity and facilities. While acutely
aware of customers' rising expectations
and perceptions of 'value-for-money,'
the shipowner has sought to bolster
overall revenue generation through
higher quality and imaginative new
activity options.
The size of the shipboard community
at any time during the course of its
seven-day voyages in the Western
Caribbean is startling, whether judged
by the lower-bed passenger capacity
measure of 3,138 or maximum of 3,840,
together with up to 1,180 crew.
Voyager has occupied some of the best
minds in interior design as well as some
of the most innovative minds in naval
architecture. The vessel furthermore
denotes the attainment of a new milestone in the passengership domain as
regards marine engineering technology,
expressed in its refined diesel-electric
power and propulsion system incorporating a triple Azipod configuration.
Voyager of the Seas is emphatically also

some nine percent of the vessel's staterooms have bay windows overlooking the Royal Promenade enhances the effectiveness of this astounding central feature, and should better
realize the extra revenue potential it offers. The preoccupation with the expectations of an increasingly discerning passenger market is reflected in arrangements whereby 69 percent of the total 1,557 passenger cabins have a view, either
seaward or into the mall, while 49 percent incorporate a balcony. The conceptual design for Project Eagle, in support
of the $1.5 billion, three-ship series entrusted to KMY's
Turku yard, was provided by Kvaerner Masa-Yards Technology - highly regarded worldwide for its innovative
approach to ship design - in close co-operation with Royal
Caribbean. The combination of the wider-than-Panamax
beam, affording the extra stability for a still greater breadth
in the main passenger decks, and the longitudinal division of
the superstructure by way of an indoor arcade, or promenade, have been fundamental to the Eagle concept.
The idea of a central mall running through the ship was
first applied in the Finnish domain almost a decade ago, in
the Turku-built ferries Silja Serenade and Silja Symphony.
At the time of their delivery in 1990/91, the 58,400-gt sisters
had signified a major new stage in the evolution of the Baltic
cruise ferry concept.
Voyager of the Seas provides a new window on Finnish
engineering in a number of sectors, not least as regards her
cycloconverter-based, ABB electric propulsion system and
array of podded propulsors of the proven Azipod type. The
trials results met or exceeded expectations, with the vessel
having achieved a forward speed of 25 knots, compared with
an anticipated, maximum service speed requirement of 22
knots, and made an incredible 17 knots astern. Moreover,
she was worked athwartships at five knots, such a relatively
high rate of lateral travel being achieved using the two
azimuthing units within the three-pod configuration, in conjunction with the four tunnel thrusters in the foreship section. Each Azipod offers an output of up to 14-MW, the centerline, fixed propulsor being flanked by two 360-degree
rotatable units, while a total of 12 MW is available from the
staggered line of bow thrusters.
A crash stop distance of less than six ships' lengths, with
full control available throughout the maneuver, and a highly
responsive, precise action in very slow-speed navigation
through the rock-bound leads of the archipelago, also helped
endear the vessel to her handlers.
The 75,600-kW primary power concentration engendered
by Wartsila 46-series diesel machinery, whereby six 8-cylinder engines drive the main gensets, testifies to Finnish
strengths in medium-speed engine design and manufacturing. Inevitably, the speed with which a vessel of such considerable passenger and crew capacity might be safely evacuated in the event of a casualty in difficult weather and sea
conditions is always a point of interest. Certainly, she has
been designed and equipped to meet the toughest regulatory
requirements in that regard. However, in keeping with the
principle of risk minimization and the philosophy that the
ship herself should be the safest haven in all circumstances,
Voyager of the Seas incorporates an exceptional degree of
system redundancy and, furthermore, offers the highest
design integrity.
It is claimed that she could take a 40-degree angle of heel
before suffering water ingress although, of course, she has
been designed and equipped mindful of passengers' tolerance of little more than a level platform at all times. Not
without cause has she assumed the mantle as the first vessel
to receive Det Norske Veritas' Comfort-class notation. The
high level of engineering redundancy is reflected in the
DNV Redundant Propulsion (RP) certification, as an
acknowledgement of features such as the divided main
machinery plant and main electricity distribution system.
Moreover, she has been equipped with a dual, integrated
bridge system from Litton for all key navigation and command functions, as reportedly another 'first' in the industry.

Parcel tankers
Stolt

Astilleros Espanoles Sestao and

Juliana yards have delivered the first
two vessels of an inventive series of six
stainless steel product/chemical carriers,
Stolt Sea and Stolt Sun, both of which
have joined the fleet of Stolt Parcel
Tankers the world's largest operator
of its kind.
One of the most outstanding features
of the series of ships is their capability
of simultaneously carrying a wide variety of cargoes. Made possible by an
extremely compartmentalized cargo
arrangement, the vessels can carry up to
700 different types of cargoes from
fruit juice to propylene oxide without
risk of polluting each other.
This flexible cargo section is divided
into 36 integral tanks and four deck
tanks, designed to carry IMO type 1 and
2 chemicals, plus hazardous and corrosive cargoes by means of two longitudinal bulkheads vertically corrugated. An
exception to this would lie in cargo
tanks numbered one, two and 13, where
the longitudinal bulkhead is arranged in
the centerline.
Cargo tank capacity amounts to
25,220 cu. m. with payload cargo reaching a 24,720 cu. m. total at 98 percent
cargo tank capacity.
Each tank is served by its own submerged hydraulically driven cargo
pump and associated piping made of
316L stainless steel. A fully integrated
cargo service system controls and monitors every operation and includes, in
each cargo tank, temperature sensors at
three levels, an internal cone antenna for
level indication, transmitter gauges,
remote pressure sensor of vapor space
and independent high level (95 percent),
and overfill (98 percent) alarms. This

system is topped off with individual

independent heating and cooling systems. Additionally, each cargo tank is
fitted with three, two or one multi-stage
fixed tank cleaning machine. Fully
equipped with an integrated navigation
bridge, fulfilling the one man bridge
notation, the vessels also feature a set of
systems that include one voyage data
recorder system and one rate of turn
indicator (ROTI) system with three

repeaters. The bridge system integrates

a variety of functions such as digital
radars, adaptive track pilot and position
sensors.
Able to apply a service speed of 15.2
knots, the vessels' structure includes a
double skin design and double bottom
running the entire length of the cargo
section plus the engine room. The double sides protect the cargo area by way
of longitudinal flat bulkheads.

tion and outfitting of what could

arguably be described one of the more
advanced oil tankers in the world.
With its operation in and around the
environmentally super-sensitive U.S.
West coast (it was designed primarily
for the 2,400 mile round-trip voyage
between Valdez, Alaska and Cherry
Point, Wash.) the tanker is designed to
meet and exceed the provisions of OPA
90. The total contract includes three firm
orders and two options, each of which
will be uniquely equipped to navigate
the rigors inherent in the winter seas of
the Alaskan Gulf. Capable of carrying
one million barrels of oil in 12 cargo
tanks, the inner and outer hulls of the
Millennium Class are separated by 10
ft., a measure which exceeds the legal
requirement by 50 percent.
The ship series was developed utilizing some of the more outstanding minds
and resources, including John J.
McMullen Associates (JJMA), MCA
Engineers, Inc., SSPA Maritime Consulting AB, Herbert Engineering Co.,
Glosten Associates Inc., Knutsen Shipping and Astilleros Espanoles, S.A.
Endeavour measures 895 x 152 ft.
(273 x 46.3 m) with a depth of 83 ft.
(25.3 m). With a cubic capacity of

1,017,161 barrels, the 125,000-dwt vessel will travel at more than 16 knots,
powered by a pair of B&W 7550 MCC
slow speed diesel engines, which generate a combined 30,030 hp. The tanker's
continuous operation - even in the case
of emergency - is ensured by the fact
that it features two fully independent
engine rooms separated by a fireproof,
watertight bulkhead. Each engine powers separate, reversible pitch propellers,
which are capable of going from full
ahead to full astern in seconds, without
reversing the direction of rotation. Controls onboard are state-of-the-art as well,
as a fully integrated joystick are capable

of controlling the rudders, propellers

and bowthruster from a single lever. The
vessels can make a complete 360-degree
turn within the ship's own length at slow
speed or zero speed.
The new vessel will be outfitted with
the latest navigational tools, including:
ECDIS, three automatic plotting collision avoidance radars, and GMDSS. All
data needed to operate the ship will be
available on a single system, presented
in a concise form to the operator, allowing the operator the ability to spend
much less time gathering data and more
time to analyze and formulate correct
response.

Daewoo
OKHA
FSO
ICB Shipping

Originally planned
and designed as the
third vessel in a trio
of three conventional
Crude Oil Tankers
ordered by ICB Shipping, Daewoo constructed the 158,000TDW Okha - modification
to
FSO.
Although the vessel
had been aimed at
operating not only in
tanker mode, but also
in FSO, efficient design and construction had been achieved
economically through ICB & SBM's operational experience.
Prior to its designation as a crude oil tanker during the first
half of 1999, Okha, which was delivered on May 11, is currently being operated as a FSO unit at Sakhalin oil field.
The vessel houses six pairs of cargo tanks and a pair of slop
tanks in three segregation and 15 ballast tanks including peak
tanks, which form double skin meeting MARPOL requirements.
Accommodation stands at 36 with four tiers and a navigation
bridge. Total cargo capacity is 173,300 cu. m. and ballast capacity is 54,560 cu. m. As a noted FSO Unit, the vessel has equipment consisting of a bow cargo loading station, stern cargo
offloading station and turbine type of metering unit with the
steel support structure and a laboratory unit. Two sets of quick
release mooring hooks provide for the single point mooring with
a SALM buoy and an electro-hydraulically driven deck crane of
offshore type is provided on the starboard side for handling
offloading goods from the supply boat, cargo hoses and Suez
mooring boat. One bow loading pipe of ND 300mm is arranged
from loading station at portside and connected to the manifold
cross-over line in midship, and a fire safe type ESD (Emergency
Shut Down) ball valve at loading station is remotely/hydraulically controlled from CCR and the wheelhouse.

Vessel name
Bunga Melati
Vessel type
Chemical Tanker
Owner
MISC
In early July, Hyundai Heavy Industries delivered a 30,000-dwt chemical
tanker to Malaysia International Shipping Corp. (MISC). The vessel, dubbed
Bunga Melati 4, is a double bottom and
double skin chemical tanker with 34
cargo tanks including 16 stainless steel
tanks. Classed by LR, the vessel is a
single screw diesel engine driven ship
of flush decker with forecastle and
poop, with bulbous bow and open
water type stern. The cargo area is
divided by two longitudinal corrugated
bulkheads and nine transverse corrugated bulkheads. In the cargo tank section, the vessel has a double hull with
side ballast tanks and a double bottom.
The ship is designed to carry chemical
cargoes type 2 and 3 as specified in the
IMO IBC Code.
The cargo tank section of the Bunga
Melati 4 comprises 34 cargo tanks
including 16 stainless steel 316 LN
tanks, 16 coated (phenolic epoxy 300
mic) tanks and two slop tanks, each
equipped with a hydraulic motor driven
centrifugal submerged cargo pump
(Framo type), with a capacity of 450250 cu. m./hr. for cargo tanks and 190
cu. m./hr. for slop tanks.
The internal parts of the stainless
steel cargo tanks have been pre-treated
by a local company that specializes in
marine and industrial services, a company which also took care of degreasing, pickling and passivation for the
cargo tanks.
This pipeline arrangement allows the
.connection of each tank separately to
either starboard or port manifold outlet.
For cargo heating and tank cleaning
purposes, all cargo tanks are fitted with
stainless steel heating coils and cleaning machines.
Heating is by steam. Gas freeing of
the tanks is with mechanical ventilators, which are installed in a fan room.
N2 gas supply system with N2 bottle
is provided for the ullage space of
cargo tanks to compensate for normal
losses during transportation. Each
cargo tank and slop tank is provided
with pressure sensor type level gauge.
The ship is powered by a six-cylinder
in-line low speed, two stroke marine
diesel engine, a Hyundai-B&W
6S50MC, which develops an MCR of
9,600 bhp at 119.6 rpm.

based shipyard completed the rigs outfitting and erected all of its major modules.
Both massive and multipurpose, Discoverer Enterprise can drill, test and
complete wells to 35,000 ft. in water
depths up to 10,000 ft. It is equipped to
provide extended well testing and storage capabilities and allows a variety of
subsea operations, including the potential for j-laying
ultra-deepwater
pipelines.
These capabilities were formulated
with a cost-effective solution in providing
sophisticated
ultra-deepwater
drilling operation on an international
basis. With its patent pending, the dualactivity design allows drilling operations to perform concurrently in parallel
- rather than in a sequential series attacking the "flat times," which can
consume up to 65 percent of well-construction time on ultra-deepwater wells.
Results expected from this design provide a favorable concept - reduction in
the amount of drilling days - leading to
cuts in both drilling time and well costs.

Samsung Heavy Industries

SK Supreme
LNG Carrier
SK Shipping Co.
Samsung Heavy Industries Co. is scheduled to
deliver by year's end, the
largest size LNG carrier of
GTT Mark-Ill membrane
type and is scheduled to
deliver two more vessels
within 2000.
Supreme, a 138,000 cu.
m. LNG Carrier has been
designed and constructed
with the regulation of ABS
and KR classification societies and the membrane
cargo containment system developed by GTT (Gaz Transport &
Technigaz) in France.
The cargo tanks are protected by a complete double side/bottom,
cofferdam between each tanks and trunk at topside. For the hull and
cargo containment system of cargo tank, Dynamic Load Analysis
and extended fatigue analysis have been carried out to ensure the
vessel's high reliability and long lifetime.
Cargo will be carried at -163 degrees C in the near atmospheric
pressure with an insulation of 250 mm and membrane of 1.2 mm
thick corrugated stainless steel sheet.
The GazTransport & Technigaz Mark-Ill system offers a low
boil-off rate, in this case 0.15 percent/day of total cargo volume.
Each cargo tank is fitted with two 1,700 cu. m. /h submerged centrifugal pumps, which are capable of unloading cargo within 12
hours. Cargo loading is carried out by shore-based pumps, after the
tanks have been pre-cooled by LNG spray. Vapor produced during
this process is returned ashore through the ship's high-duty compressors. Boil-off gas generated on voyage is heated and delivered
as fuel gas to the main boiler by a low-duty compressor and boiloff gas heater.
An elevated walkway over the tanks affords access from the Centralized Administration and Control Center (CACC), located at the
fourth tier level of accommodation deckhouse the wheelhouse, to
the compressor room and deck. The CACC provides a central command station for cargo and ballasting operations, as well as monitoring, remote control of the propulsion plant, integrated automation and shipboard management systems.
The propulsion machinery comprises a 39,500 SHP Kawasaki
steam turbine set driving a fixed propeller through a double reduction gearbox. The vessel's service speed stands at 20.8 knots with a
21 percent sea margin. Steam is generated by two Kawasaki boilers, capable of burning fuel oil, boil-off gas or a combination of
both. Electrical power is derived from two turbo-alternators, each
producing 3,450 kW, and a 'stand-by' 3,450 kW diesel-driven set.
Fire safety measures include dry powder and water spray for the
cargo tank areas, and a water spray for the deckhouse front. Accommodation is provided for 48 persons.
Mooring arrangement and hull parallel body have been especially designed to suit the cargo loading/unloading at worldwide LNG
terminals. Cargo cooling, also loading and unloading operations
will be done, utilizing two Atlas Copco high duty compressors
(32,000 cu. m. /h), a main vaporizer (21,300kg/h) and two heaters

Constructed in China at the Qiu Xin Shipyard in

Shanghai, Maria Desgagnes is a state-of-the-art
double-hulled, ice class 1A, type 2 oil and chemical tanker, which is able to transport 12 different
types of cargo at once. Featuring a total capacity of
15,570 cu. m., the vessel measures 394 x
69 ft. (120 x 21 m) requiring an investment of more than $35 million.
The vessel is chartered by Petro-Nav, a
subsidiary introduced by Groupe Desgagnes in 1996 with two other shareholders - Nicolas Gravino and Richard R
Carson - to develop the bulk liquid transport side of the business. The tanker
joins two others in the fleet - Thalassa
Desgagnes and Petrolia Desgagnes, as
well as Rigel Shipping Canada tankers
for which Petro-Nav has signed a long
term charter agreement.
Known as one of the best-equipped oil
tankers in the Canadian fleet, Maria Desgagnes is considered a milestone within
the maritime industry. According to
research completed by Groupe Desgagnes, aside from the construction of
ferries for governments - or passenger
ships - this is the first new Canadianowned merchant vessel to join Canada's
shipping fleet since 1984 and the first oil
tanker since 1982.
This technologically-driven vessel
includes a loading program that calculates ship stability when intact or damaged, among other things; a computer-

tanks, including ullage, temperature, high-level
alarm, etc; and stainless steel heating coils for the
cargo oil and slop tanks.
With a loading and discharge capacity of 1,800
cu. m., the vessel's main engine houses a shaft
alternator, while maneuvering bow thrusters assist
in docking and navigation in restricted waters.

Canada Steamship Lines
M.V. CSL Niagara, which was delivered by Port Weller Dry Docks this past

July, is the largest seaway capable vessel

on the Great Lakes. The two selfunloader resulting was formulated by
joining the aft end of M.V. J.W. McGiffin to a complete new forebody built and
outfitted by PWDD. Beginning with the
new forebody being floated out of the
building dock, McGiffin was then

docked and its old forebody

was cut and floated off
the new forebody was redocked and joined to
McGiffin's stern shortly
after. Taking advantage of
new maximum

dimensions resulting in cargo lifts, the
vessel was selected to celebrate strong

Experience Counts

links between Canada Steamship Lines

and the Niagara Region.
Resulting from the handiwork of
CSL's technical team and CSE Marine
Services, the objective at hand was to
produce an efficient design that would
span for another quarter-century. Niagara's cylindrical bow design provides
more displacement and an additional
600 tons of cargo lift over other designs.
From a structural standpoint, the vessel is longitudinally framed unlike
traditional lakers. As a result, there is a
lighter, more efficient design, which is
complimentary to PWDD's state-of-theart production processes. Bulb sections
provided by Fundia were utilized due to
their stability for application of the high
quality coating system by International
Paints. Other steel shapes were supplied
by Salit Steel, while the steel manufactured by Algoma Steel and supplied by
Samuel Plate was blasted and primed by
both PWDD and Blastech Corporation.
By far, the total concept of the vessel
is its self-unloading system. The existing boom and loop belt were retained
and joined to a new arrangement of hold
and transfer conveyors. In cooperation
with EMS-Tech, the system was
designed to be efficient and maximize
cargo cubic and discharge at 6,000
STPH. A total of 146 suspended roller
track gates were constructed by Pascol
Engineering for installation by Port
Weller adding to the two conveyor belts,
which were implemented on garland
rollers from Haak Industries. Unloading
and ballast systems are remotely controlled by 14 closed-circuit television
cameras installed by Canal Marine,
while cargoholds are serviced by a
series of hatches, fitted with one-piece
steel covers, removable by crane. Outstanding in this vessel is a new 1,000
kW Kamewa bow thruster that was
installed to assist the bigger vessel when
maneuvering. Utilizing the same idea, a
new Pascol-constructed steering nozzle
was installed.

Signifying the best of an outstanding

new crop of seismic vessels, the Norwegian-built wedge-shaped Geco Eagle
sports a 121 ft. (37m) wide back deck to
store and deploy more recording equipment than any other vessel afloat, but
the unique shipshape does not lead to a
trade-off in capacity.
The ability to survey more territory in
a time and cost efficient manner has
directly led to the tremendous push for
deeper water resources exploration.
Geco-Prakla routinely deploys 6 km
streamers and the slim Nessie-4 streamers and large streamer reels will enable
Geco Eagle to easily deploy streamers
over 8km.
Geco Eagle is equipped with the
Monowing* II deflector system, which
coupled with lightweight towing leads,
has already been proven to deliver 1,400
meter wide spreads without the help of
other vessels.
The highest capacity vessels previous
to Geco Eagle in the Schlumberger fleet
were already deploying footprints up to
8 sq. km. Geco Eagle if you can
excuse the expression effectively
knocks all existing records out of the
water with its massive footprint up to 11
sq. km.
With 20 tow points, Geco Eagle is
able to shoot very high-resolution 3-D.
It is not only the vessel's capacity, but
also its flexibility that sets Geco Eagle
apart.
Geco Eagle has a specially designed
36-ft. (10.9 m) workboat that is easy to
deploy, is completely self-contained
with enclosed cabin and navigation system and is very fast moving. It can pick
up, exchange and store 100 m streamer
sections, has underwater cameras and a

five center and five pairs of cargo tanks (plus two slop
tanks aft) included with a double-skin hull, complying
with the latest regulation of MARPOL 13F and OPA 90.
The double-skin design is capable of totally separating
the cargo tanks from the sea, and providing five pairs of
fully segregated water ballast tanks with the wide space
of double hull for easy maintenance and access.
In addition, the water ballast tank has been coated with
a light color tar free epoxy (two coats) throughout.
Particular attention has been paid to arrange cofferdam
between side shell and heavy fuel oil tanks which are
arranged in both side of engine room. Dynamic Load
Analysis and Spectral Fatigue analysis have been conducted, along with ABS Safe Hull analysis, to ensure
high design integrity and long life (For example, the
design life time of critical side shell is 50 years). Three
grades of cargo can be handled simultaneously, using
three steam turbine driven cargo pumps, fitted in a
pumproom at forward end of the engine room.

M o o r e Stephens W a r n s O f
Internet's Risk
Moore Stephens has alerted the shipping industry to be wary of the Internet.
Per the most recent edition of its inhouse newsletter, Bottom Line, the company informs that while the Internet is a
useful communication tool, it can also
be time consuming and risky.
The firm stresses upon problems such
as security, validity and other concerns,
which shipping businesses
may
encounter when using the Internet,
either as an information resource for ecommerce or communication.
According to Moore Stephens, companies can take precautions such as
establishing a computer security policy
and statement of practice, as well as
educating staff on the risks and viruses
that often plague computer networks.

India, which provided a positive practical insight into the maximum possibilities of the new tugs.
The first training session occurred two
years ago, prior to the arrival of the new
tugs in the Port of Hadera. This time
around the pilots had already grasped
the usage of the tugs but wanted to try
out the maximum capabilities of the
tugs using large vessels. Eventually the
pilots learned that the safest way to
experiment with this was through the
use of the simulator.
The training week was the first of a
three part series, with the final group
scheduled to train at MSR in December.

Petrobras 3 6 Sets W o r l d Record

Petrobras 36, the 31,183 ton Offshore Oil and
Gas Platform left Sept-Iles, Quebec for Brazil on
November 11. The Floating Production System
is recorded as the heaviest load ever carried by a
submersible heavy lift vessel. Performed by
Dockwise of Belgium, the operation entailed the
usage of the company's Modern Servant I heavy
lift ship and the vessel, together with its large
cargo, was scheduled to arrive in Rio de Janeiro
by mid-November.
Formerly known as the Spirit of Columbus,
Petrobras 36 had been at Quebec City Davie
Industries undergoing upgrades for the past two years making the vessel into
one of the largest platform of its kind. When in operation at the Roncador Field
located offshore Brazil, the vessel will produce 180,000 barrels of oil and 7.2
MM cu. m of gas per day from a water depth of 1,350 m.

Just ask our customers. Although we

use the same materials (welding rods
included) other shipyards do, the end
result is always better than expected.

Regardless of why they chose

Newpark, they all agree on one thing. It's
the high level of service and the quality
of the work that brings them back.

So, what makes the

difference?

It won't take long to

show you.

Some customers will say our network

of six shipyards, three at Galveston and
three farther up the ship channel in
Houston, is why they chose Newpark
Shipbuilding.
Others will say it's the experienced
people who manage and work at our
yards.
And then there are those who will
claim that our excellent records in safety
and on-time delivery are what made
Newpark their first choice.

If you'd like to see the Newpark facilities

and some of the work we're currently
doing, call Francis Fair at 409.741.4200.
He'll be glad to show you how Newpark
people can give you more than you
expect on your next project.
