The hull form was developed by uti- lizing Samsung's own model basin facil- ities and verified by MARIN. Trial results arrived in 26 knots of service speed and it is the fastest speed among the Channel operating Ro-Ro passenger ferry. Tankers British Cormorant is the first in a six-ship, double-hulled series of Aframax Tankers constructed for BP Shipping by Samsung Heavy Industries. The ship incorporates a number of technical features to ensure high levels of environmental protection and high performance. The main fea- tures are Ice Class hull form, improved strength, improved service lifetime for coatings by increased paint specifica- tion. The hull structure has been designed in accordance with the require- ments of ABS Safehull and LRs ShipRight(SDA, FDA, CM). FEA for the hull structures has been carried out for the different loading conditions as recommended by the Class. Ice Class 1A for hull strengthening and propulsion system is applied according to New Finnish-Swedish ICE class Rule and FMA Rules and Guidelines. The fatigue life of the hull structure has been designed for a period of not less than 40 years. The Structural Quality of the hull structure has been maintained with the use of higher tensile steel to 45 percent of the total hull structural steel weight. The vortex generator including local reinforcement in the hull, deckhouse and casing is installed for the improve- ment of vibration. British Cormorant is powered by an MAN B&W 7S60MC-C engine developing (MCR) 15,820 kW (21,490 bhp) at 105 rpm. The service speed is 15.4 knots at main engine out- put of 14,230 kW (19,340 bhp) includ- ing 15 percent power margin. The ship has a total of 12 cargo oil tanks with a combined capacity of 121,200 cu. m. at 98 percent loading. In addition, there are two slop tanks fully coated in tar epoxy with a capacity of 3,700 cu. m. The cargo pumping system allows for a maximum discharge rate of 8,400 cu. m./hr. The maximum loading rate is 10,200 cu. m./hr. Three grades of oil can be handled simultaneously through a two-valve segregation arrangement. All cargo tanks are fitted with radar type level gauging system and various fixed gas warning devices monitoring hydrocarbon gas levels in tanks, pump room and ballast spaces. All tanks are remotely monitored from the cargo control room. STX Shipbuilding developed an advanced 51K product oil tanker — North Point — for North Atlantic trad- ing route with six pairs of cargo tanks, one pair of slop tank and one residue tank and delivered it to the Pietro Barbaro S.P.A in Italy on May 24, 2005. The Italian-flagged vessel is classed by Registro Italiano Navale with the Ice class 1A and ice-strengthened. It is in compliance with the marine environ- mental and safety criteria for industry vessels in Exxon Mobil affiliate service. North Point is laid out a single-deck and forecastle, and features a double hull structure.
