52 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News • DECEMBER 2014 GREAT SHIPS OF 2014 TOP Coral do Atlantico is the fi rst of two, characterized by a high ppelay ten- sion capacity of 550 tons and a storage capacity of 4,000 tons, designed to in- stall umbilical and fl exible fl owlines and risers to connect subsea wells to fl oat- ing production units in water up to more than 2,500m deep off the coast of Bra- zil, including the pre-salt area. A long- term charter agreement has already been made with Petrobras. To support subsea installation work, a 250 ton-capacity deck crane was equipped with AHC (active heave com- pensation). AHC function recognizes the vessel’s motion and provides stable sub- sea lifts and underwater load handling in water up to 3000m in depth so that the underwater installation work is less af- fected by wave and weather conditions. In terms of stability during offshore work, in order to meet the need for ef- fi cient fl exible pipe laying operations, an anti-heeling & anti-rolling system was also installed. Such a system will make it possible to perform elaborate stability control to cope with various operational situations. The vessel is a DP2-classed vessel and can be dynamically posi- tioned using seven thrusters, which are composed of three kinds: three azimuth propulsion thrusters, two retractable thrusters, and two tunnel thrusters.

(UK) between 2013 and beginning of 2014. These projects are the biggest contain- erships ever built in the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea area. The vessel measures 299.9 x 48.4 x 14.5 m and has a maximum speed more than 25 knots powered by a MAN B&W licensed main engine rated at 64,485 HP. The ship was built under the super- vision of Lloyd’s Register and registered in Monrovia, Liberia. Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores (CSAV) is the charterer of this series for long-term. The ship series features a number of state-of-the-art technologies designed to reduced emissions and fuel costs. Chief among them is a device used to enhance the fl ow into the propeller in or- der to increase propulsion effi ciency and reduce energy loss, the Pre-Swirl Stator (PSS).
