Meyer Shipyard Delivers LPG Carrier Dorothea Schulte The liquid gas carrier Doro- thea Schulte (shown above) was delivered recently to the Ham- burg shipping company Bernhard Schulte by the Jos. L. Meyer shipyard in Papenburg-Ems, Fed- eral Republic of Germany. The August 1, 1981 new vessel is the eighth gas tank- er to join the Schulte fleet, and is a sister ship of the Hermann Schulte, delivered by the Meyer yard in December 1980 to the same shipping company. The orderbook of Jos. L. Meyer now includes two more sister ships of the 6,095-dwt Dorothea Schulte, as well as two LPG car- riers of 6,400 cubic meters ca- pacity each, and two liquid gas tankers of 15,000 cubic meters cargo capacity for German own- ers. Delivery of these ships is scheduled between the end of 1981 and the beginning of 1983. The Dorothea Schulte has been built according to the regulations and under the supervision of Germanischer Lloyd for the clas- sification + 100A 4E Liquid Gas Carrier type II G, +MCE AUT 16/24. An IMCO certificate will be issued for the ship according to the chemical code for certain cargoes. The new ship has an overall length of 363.8 feet, beam of 50.8 feet, depth of 35.4 feet, and draft of 24.7 feet. Total capacity of her cargo tanks is 5,647 cubic meters. The main propulsion engine is a B&W type 6L45GFCA diesel with a maximum continuous rat- ing of 5,910 bhp at 175 rpm. It will be operated to provide an out- put of 5,400 bhp at 171 rpm, giv- ing the ship a service speed fully loaded of 14.2 knots. Maneuver- ability of the ship is enhanced by a 400-hp bow thruster. id Isolamin builds lots of things into its bulkhead panels. So you can keep lots of things out. . . Like Noise, Heat, Cold. -Vinyl Laminate -Mineral Wool _Steel Sheet 22 Gauge When you specify and use ISOLAMIN panels, you have built quiet, comfortable marine accommoda- tions. ISOLAMIN panels provide that restful environ- ment, because the panels themselves are tough — ocean tough! Rugged enough to keep out noise, excess heat, and cold. Strong enough to need no additional reinforcement. Durable enough to resist compres- sion and bending. Even heavy fixtures, such as wash basins, can be screwed directly onto ISOLAMIN panels. Further, ISOLAMIN accommodation systems — panels, ceilings, frames and doors — are so sim- ple to handle. No need for alterations to piping or electrical systems. No need for special tools or framework. Ready for installation when they are delivered to the vessel, the bulkheads fit together easily. In fact, ISOLAMIN accommodation systems are so easy to work with, that manhours can be reduced from 30-35%. However, the cost-effectiveness doesn't stop with the reduced manhours. ISOLAMIN systems are also fully insulated, eliminating the need (and the cost) for any extra insulation. And the steel sheeting which covers the panels eliminates the risk of broken corners — even if the material is handled carelessly. ISOLAMIN panels are approved by the U.S.C.G. and 16 international classification agencies. And the range of colors, patterns, and material finishes make ISOLAMIN accommodations as attractive as they are sound. When you need to build the best in marine accommodations, easily and cost effectively, specify ISOLAMIN — because, at sea, second best won't do For more information about how ISOLAMIN can best serve your requirements, please write or call: ISOI \MIN is represented in the I ruled States and Mexico b\ Consafe Inc.
