Last year, HHI introduced a new design for for a 254,000-dwt class VLCC developed by its research in- stitute, HMRI (Hyundai Maritime Research Institute. HMRI carried out model testing for performance prediction and performed a three- dimensional finite element analysis using coarse mesh for structural analysis. Yukong Frontier is a flush deck type ship without forecastle and has a cylindrical bow and transom stern. The ship has six center cargo oil tanks, three pairs of side cargo oil tanks and one pair of slop tanks at her side, with a cargo oil capacity of 303,000 m3. She is able to load and discharge three different kinds of cargo oil simultaneosuly with an av- erage cargo unloading rate of 15,000 m3/h using three main cargo pumps. The cargo loading rate of the ship reaches approximately 20,000 m3/h through the cargo manifolds. The Yukong Frontier has an over- all length of 1,056 feet, breadth of 184 feet and design draft of 65 feet. She is powered by a two-stroke, tur- bocharged, reversible type MAN B&W-Hyundai 6S80MC diesel en- gine developing an MCR of 22,110 bhp at 67.7 rpm and an NCR of 19,900 bhp at 65.4 rpm.

In fact, lifespans of over one million cycles are typical. But that kind of reliability is no good if the electronics can't survive the marine environment. ELDEC non-contacting switches can stand up to the sea. • Encased in non-corroding, stainless steel. • EMI hardened to exceed MIL STD 461B, Class A4. • Operating range from -30° to +65°C. • Meets MIL STD 901C, Grade A, Class 1 for shock. Two wire AC and three wire DC switches for direct mechanical replacement. The price is right. Purchase price is competitive with the best quality mechanical switches. And with less maintenance and replace- ments, life cycle cost savings are unsurpassed Send for more information today. Once you compare, you'll agree, it's time for a switch.
