The Hyundai containership has wider COSCO ASIA at-a-glance Length, OA : 349.00 m Length, BP 334.00 m Breadth (molded) 45.60 m Scantling draft 14.500 m Gross tonnage 114,300 t Cargo capacity 10,050 TEU Main Engine: Hyundai-B&W 12K98ME T beam for better stability when loading and unloading at international container terminals. The vessel is also designed to have superior propulsion efficiency at the various drafts of different loading scheme. The vessel has 10 holds, eight forward of the engine room and two aft. Total TEU capacity is 10,050—4,882 TEU in holds and 5,168 TEU on deck, with 800 FEU reefer sockets provided. Pontoon type hatch covers close the 10 holds. BRITISH EMERALD 155,000 m3 LNG carrier BRITISH EMERALD at-a-glance Length, OA : 288.00 m Length, BP 275.00 m Breadth (molded) 44.20 m Scantling draft 12.20 m Capacity 155,000 m3 Main propulsion Wartsila 112V50DF x 2, 9L50DF x 2 74,760 kW mcr at 97 rpm D elivered to BP Shipping by Hyundai Heavy Industries on July 3, 2007, British Emerald is a 155,000 m3 membrane type LNG tanker utilizing GTT Mark III tank insulation to give a low boil-off rate of 0.15% of total caro volume per day. Main propulsion machinery consists of four sets of dual fuel diesel engines and two propulsion motors driving a single propeller via a reduction gear. The main generators are driven by the dual fuel engines, capable of burning a combination of natural and forced boiloff gas or marine diesel oil. During loaded voyage, boil off gas is heated up and delivered to the dual fuel diesel engines as fuel gas by low duty compressors and boil off gas heater. AL GATTARA AL GATTARA 216,000 m LNG tanker 3 AL GATTARA at-a-glance Length, OA 315.00 m Length, BP 303.00 m Breadth, molded 50.00 m Depth, to main deck 27.00 m Draft, scantling 13.00 m Capacity 162,000 dwt Main Engine: 2x Hyundai-B&W 6S70ME-C 29,540 mhp at 91 rpm L NG carriers don’t come any bigger than the 216,000 m 3 Al Gattara, delivered to OSG by Hyundai Heavy Industries on November 6, 2007. Equipped with five Mark III membrane cargo tanks, the ship utilizes a reliquefaction plant to reliquify boil-off gas during loaded voyages so that there is no loss of LNG cargo. The twin-screw ship’s two diesel engines burn HFO as propulsion fuel and give the vessel a speed of 19.5 knots. DECEMBER 2007 MARINE LOG 33 www.marinelog.com http://www.marinelog.com
