Because of the rough conditions of the North Sea oil field, the shipig equipped with a powerful dynamic positioning system ,wbMfal lows the vessel to maintarfits position with the use of side thnisters and the main propeller alone in significant wave height of 23 ft. (7 m) during the con- nection operation tcAthe turret. Once connected, it is possible to load the oil in wave heights ofi50 ft. (15 m). The ship's integrated control and alarm monitoring system is incorpo- rated with the dynamic positioning system, including propulsion motor control and thruster control.

The ballast pipes/are glass reinforced plastic construction. The Murex is powered ay a Sulzer 7RTA84T (derated) main engine, run- ning at 85 percent MCR (30,600 hp) driving a fixed-pitch propeller and pro- ducing a service speed of 15.5 knots, with very low specific fuel consump- tion. An environmentally friendly, non-toxic water fog firefighting sys- tem protects all machinery spaces. The arrangement of bridge control systems in the wheelhouse is fea- tured for one-man bridge operation, fulfilling the latest LR LNC(AA) nota- tion. A great deal of high technology hardware and software Is onboard, with the intention of boosting safety even further. This includes the sophisticated INTEC command, alarm and monitoring system from ABB, and Racal-Decca's MIRANS (Modular Integrated Radar and} Navigation System). With its comprehensive engine programme and the lowest heavy fuel consumption rate ever reached, MAN B&W is able to supply the ideal propulsion concept for every ship. Murex D Length o.a I,0d9 ft.
