Kongsberg Selected for Seven LNG Tankers Kongsberg Maritime received an order for equipment for seven new LNG tankers, scheduled to be built by Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering. One of Kongsberg Maritime's main goals has been to develop an integrated automation system for LNG carriers. "Kongsberg is responsible for deliveries to 28 vessels currently on order or under constructions," said Vice President Sales & Marketing Asia, Pål Rønning. Circle 3 on Reader Service Card Advance for Small Product Tanker Design As smaller single hull tankers in the 600-5,000 dwt range will soon be phased out, Rolls-Royce has introduced a family of oil product tanker designs to meet the demands of any regulations and combine a high carrying capacity with efficiency, manoeuvrability and safety. A design for a double hull 1,600-dwt vessel is the latest NVC-Design by Rolls-Royce. It is designed to meet the needs of the bunkering industry as it can transfer cargo from ship to ship as well as between shore installations. This design is based on the same principles as a larger product tanker of 4,450 dwt now under construction for Bergen Tankers. The 1,600-dwt vessel has been given the type name NVC 601 PT, and is 210 ft. (64 m) overall with a molded breadth of 42 ft. (12.8 m), a summer draft of about 16.4 ft. (5 m) and a scantling draft of about 17.3 ft. (5.3 m). Fully loaded, the service speed will be about 12.5 knots. The NVC 601 PT use Ulstein Aquamaster Azipull, which provide both steering and propulsion. A larger product tanker, which is cur- rently under construction at a Turkish yard, is an NVC 604 PT. On an overall length of 295.2 ft. (90 m) the double hull vessel has a deadweight of 4,450 dwt and a 5,200 cu. m. capacity divided among 10 tanks, each with its own pump. The propulsion philosophy is the same, but on a larger scale, with two AZP100 thrusters powered by two Bergen C-series engines totalling 3,480 kW. This NVC-Design concept can be applied to oil product or chemical tankers in sizes ranging from the 1,600 dwt NVC601 PT up to about 20,000 dwt, the upper limit depending on the required speed and ice class.

Scheduled for delivery from the yard in April 2005, the vessel is 304.9 ft. (92.95 m) overall with a 64.6 ft. (19.7 m) mid- ship beam and a 25.3 ft. (7.7-m) depth on the main deck increasing to 34.2 ft. (10.45 m) under the shelter deck for- ward. Main propulsion on the diesel electric vessel is supplied by four ABB (1825kWe) generators powered by four Cummins QSK60D(M) engines. These 60-litre IMO compliant engines can be 34 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News NorShipping 2005 Circle 230 on Reader Service Card Circle 247 on Reader Service Card MR MAY 2005 #5 (33-40).qxd 5/2/2005 9:07 PM Page 34
