Marine Log - December 2008 - (Page 26) SHIPBUILDING ISLAND CONSTRUCTOR at-a-glance Length OA 120.2 m Length BP 112.3 m Breadth molded 25.0 m Depth to main deck 10.0 m Scantling draft 8.0 m Design draft 7.0 m Deadweight minus offshore crane and module handling tower 9,100 t Deck load with offshore crane and module handling tower 4,700 t Island Constructor X-bowed construction vessel Versatility characterizes the Island Constructor, an X-bow construction vessel delivered to Norway's Island Offshore by the Ulstein Group in May. The largest X-bow ship thus from Ulstein, its main activities will be well intervention with the Subsea Lubricator System for light well intervention (LWI), subsea construction and equipment installation and inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR). Additionally, the ship has a heavecompensated tower for module han- dling and will also be able to conduct ROV operations The diesel-electric propulsion system has four main generator engines, two rated at 4,320 kw each mcr and two rated at 2,880 kw. Hua San HUA SAN at-a-glance Length, OA Beam Depth Draft, design Service speed Tonnage (dwt) 333.0 m 60.0 m 30.5 m 21.0m 16.0 kt 318,000 t First VLCC built to CSR China’s Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS) recently delivered Hua San, the first VLCC built to Common Structural Rules (CSR), to Singapore's Ocean Tankers (Pte) Ltd.— five months ahead of schedule. It is the biggest vessel thus far built in China, in terms of weight. CSR design requirements target a vessel life of 25 years under comparatively harsh “North Atlantic” operation al conditions. The basic design for the VLCC was created by Korea Marine Consultants with the detail and production design completed by in-house designers at SWS. Both were supported at a very early stage of development by the Shanghai Design Support Office of Lloyd’s Register Asia. Mozah World’s largest LNG carrier Ushering in a new era in LNG shipping, the 266,000 m3 Mozah is the first of a series of Q-Max LNG carriers—the largest in the world—to be delivered to the Qatar Gas Operating Company by Samsung Heavy Industries. 26 MARINE LOG DECEMBER 2008 MOZAH at-a-glance Length, OA Length, BP Beam Depth Tonnage (grt) Cargo capacity Propulsion 345.0 m 332.0 m 53.8 m 27.0 m 163,992 t 266,000m3 Steam Turbine The Q-Max ships incorporate a number of firsts, such as twin MAN B&W 7S70ME-C slow speed diesel engines, onboard liquefaction units, twin propellers and rudders, cargo tanks and larger membranes, and the latest in hull anti- fouling protection, apart from improved fire-protection systems. Q-Max ships consume 40% less energy per cargo-ton mile, than predecessor hips with an equally large reduction in emissions. www.marinelog.com http://www.marinelog.com
