Named the Hydrolock, she was built for Stanhurst Ship- ping Limited, a member of the Wheelock Marden Shipping Group of Hong Kong. This Group also is the owner of the first ship in the series, the Danelock, deliv- ered several months earlier. During the naming ceremony for the Hydrolock, W.J. Lees, managing director of Wheelock Marden & Company Ltd., an- nounced that his Group has or- dered another four Panamax bulkers from B&W. This brings to 16 the number ordered during the year since the design was introduced — seven of them for the Wheelock Marden Group. When B&W announced its plans for construction of this new 64,- 000-dwt bulk carrier, the design criteria included an average speed fully loaded of 15 knots, with a fuel consumption of less than 40 tons daily. This represents a 15- 20 percent reduction in fuel oil consumption compared with more conventional bulk carriers. This improvement in operating economy has been achieved through successful development of the hull design, with bulbous bow and flat-sectioned aft body, and by the installation of a two- stroke/long-stroke diesel engine with an output of 12,600 bhp at 90 rpm. Built to Det norske Veritas class, the Hydrolock has an over- all length of about 738.2 feet, beam of 105.8 feet, depth of 59 feet, and maximum draft of 43 feet. Total hold capacity (grain) is 79,100 cubic meters. Her seven almost identical hatches have in- clined coamings and are fitted with MacGregor hydraulically op- erated steel covers. The four odd- numbered holds can be utilized for transportation of ore. Main propulsion is provided by a Mitsui/B&W 5-cylinder, long- stroke diesel engine, type L80- GFCA, with a maximum contin- uous output of 12,600 bhp at 90 rpm. Auxiliary machinery con- sists of three B&W Holeby die- sels, type 5T23LH, each driving a 500-kw generator. A sound- insulated room with control in- struments for the machinery is arranged on the port side of the engine room. Remote control of the main engine from the bridge allows unmanned engine room op- eration. Steering gear is of the rotary vane type. The B&W type spade rudder has an area of 44 square meters and weighs about 90 tons. In accordance with DnV require- ments, it can be turned from 35 £nyineered f^roducti and.
