Liquefied gas carrier Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II is powered by MaK diesel Meyer Werft Delivers Gas Carrier And Gets Contract For Cruise Liner The liquefied gas carrier Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II was deliv- ered recently by Jos. L. Meyer GmbH & Company in Papenburg, West Germany, to P.T. Pupuk Sri- widjaja (Pusri) of Indonesia. Pusri is a state-owned fertilizer manu- facturer and distributor, with re- sponsibility for distribution of all fertilizer and fertilizer-related products in Indonesia. The vessel is the first semi-re- frigerated liquefied gas carrier in Indonesia and in Pusri's fleet of modern self-unloading urea car- riers. It is designed to transport ammonia from a new ammonia urea production facility in Kali- mantan on the island of Borneo to domestic and foreign ports in Southeast Asia. The gas carrier is 372 feet long overall, with a beam of 53.5 feet and depth of 35.75 feet; cargo tank capacity is 5,683 cubic meters. Cargo is carried in three inde- pendent bi-lobe tanks at a temper- ature of — 48 C and pressure up to 4.5 bar. It is capable of transport- ing ammonia, propane, butane, butadiene, propylene, and vinyl chloride monomer. Cargo is cooled by a reliquefaction plant that in- cludes two Sulzer compressors. Six deepwell pumps discharge cargo at a combined rate of 540 cubic me- ters per hour. Propulsion power is provided by a MaK 8M 552 diesel engine that produces 6,200 bhp at 500 rpm, and a speed of about 15.7 knots. The vessel has a dual classifica- tion, with Lloyd's Register of Ship- ping and Biro Klasifikasi Indone- sia as a Type IIC Liquefied Gas Carrier, and is provided with an IMO certificate according to the Gas Code, Resolution A328(1X). The carrier also complies with U.S. Coast Guard regulations for ships under foreign flag. Marine Consultants & Design- ers, Inc. of Cleveland, designers of Pusri's self-unloading urea car- riers, provided a transportation study to define the ammonia car- rier's requirements and speed, pre- pared the design and specifica- tions for tendering and contract documents, and represented Pusri during tendering, contract negoti- ations, and construction, providing both plan review and construction supervision. Marine Consultants & Designers was assisted in these tasks by Intership Services, Inc. of Waltham, Mass., who provided de- sign and consultation for the liq- uefied gas aspects of the project. New Superliner For Home Lines Against strong European com- petition, Meyer Werft has suc- ceeded in getting a contract for construction of a 1,260-passenger cruise ship. The big vessel—she will be 670 feet long overall with a beam of 95 feet—was ordered by Home Lines Inc. of Panama, a company that has been active in the cruise business for a long time. The liner is designed to operate in the Caribbean or worldwide. Passengers will be carried in 550 cabins. Two diesel engines, each with an output of 15,820 bhp, will give the vessel a service speed of 22.5 knots. Meyer will build 1,260-passenger super cruise vessel for Home Lines of Panama.
