MES completes 56,000DWT type bulk carrier OCEAN SPLENDOR—150th ship of “Mitsui 56” series—
Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES)
completed and delivered the 56,000DWT type bulk carrier OCEAN SPLENDOR (HN: 1841) at its Tamano Workson January 17, 2013 to Mingtai Navigation Co., Ltd., Taiwan.
This vessel is a handy-max type bulk carrier of56,000DWT with a large cargo hold capacity of over
70,000m3 and marks the 150th deliveries of the series,
which is widely called “Mitsui 56” and is highly appreciated in the market. More than 170 units of this series havebeen ordered from MES.
1. The vessel is designed in accordance with IACS
Common Structural Rules. As a result, structural safety
and operational flexibility are improved.
The vessel is designed to have the following samefeatures as “Mitsui 56”:(a) Good manageable size of 56,000DWT at the summerdraft(b) Length and draft in consideration for accessibility
to world main ports(c) Low fuel oil consumption based on good propulsive
performance
2. The vessel has five cargo holds and four cranes forhandling cargo.
3. In order to load various kinds of cargoes, the vessel isdesigned to have enough strength of tank top of cargoholds and to be suitable for efficient cargo handling.
(a) The size of hatch opening is the largest for this typeFor further information please contact:of vessel in terms of both length and width.
(b) Each cargo hold has a sufficient clear length in orderto load long pipes.
(c) Cargo holds are well strengthened to load heavy
cargo such as hot coils, etc.
4. The main engine is MITSUI-MAN B&W diesel engine6S50MC-C, which is a light, compact and high output
engine complying with MARPOL NOx restriction for
exhaust gas. It has good enough power margin to provide
a high degree of flexibility (at normal service output =75% maximum continuous output) and the lowest fueloil consumption will be realized by the optimum
matching at normal service output.
5. Ballast water can be changed during navigation forprotection of marine environment.
6. Generator engines also comply with MARPOL NOx
restriction for exhaust gas.

Japan Marine United Corporation(JMU) has delivered the Aframaxtanker, KAIMON MARU (HN: 3335),to JX Tanker Company Limited at theKure Shipyard as the first vessel delivered by JMU.
JMU was created by management
integration of two companies, Universal Shipbuilding Corporation and IHI
Marine United Inc. on January 1,
2013.
The KAIMON MARU is one of thelargest classes of Aframax tankers
with a cargo tank capacity of
142,000m3 and deadweight of 120,000
tons, and JMU devoted its sophisticated shipbuilding technology andexperience to this vessel.
For the sake of the highest propulsion performance, the L.V. Fin (LowViscous resistance Fin) and A.T. Fin(Additional Thrusting Fin) are provided.
The cargo spaces consists of sixpairs of cargo oil tanks and one pair ofslop tanks and are segregated into
three groups. Three steam turbinedriven cargo oil pumps with a selfstripping system (AUS), three cargosegregation systems, and cargo oil
heating systems are adopted. A vapor
emission control system (VECS) is
used in compliance with the US Coast
Guard requirements.

MHI completes 6,500-vehicle-transport carrier TOSCAThe TOSCA is a pure car and truck
carrier (PCTC) capable of carrying
6,500 units for delivery to the owner,
Wallstraits Shipping Pte. Ltd. Thiscarrier was designed and built by theNagasaki Shipyard & Machinery
Works of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and delivered to theowner on January 18. 2013. The vessel has now entered worldwide ser-vice.
The single screw and the eco-engine propulsion system are adopted
for the vessel to save fuel oil consumption, reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, a ballast water treatment
system is installed on the vessel forthe environmental conservation.
Cargo holds are constructed withcenter pillars (except the aft part) for

optimum flexibility during loading
and unloading vehicles. Twelve car
decks (including the tank top) areavailable for the carriage of 6,459 cars
(RT-43).

Namura completes post-Panamax bulk carrier RTM DIAS
Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
delivered RTM DIAS, an 89,892 DWTbulk carrier, to Rio Tinto Shipping
Limited at its Imari Shipyard &Works on January 11, 2013.
This is the first vessel of the89,000DWT type post-Panamax bulkcarrier equipped with a ballast water
treatment system.
The vessel is designed with a wide
beam and shallow draft, which canachieve cargo loading more efficiently,
mainly to carry bauxite to an Australian alumina refinery.
The ship hull is designed and constructed in accordance with the Common Structural Rules (CSR). Improved propulsion performance andfuel oil saving are attained by adoption of the Namura flow Control Fins(NCF) and rudder fins, developed byNamura, and a high-efficiency propeller. Corners of the superstructure areflattened to reduce the air resistance.
The vessel has water ballast pumpsof large capacity to speed cargo loading operations. IMO PSPC-WBT isapplied for corrosion protection of thewater ballast tanks to increase safetyof the vessel. A fixed hold cleaningmachine is fitted under each cargo
hatch cover to reduce cleaning work.
The electronically controlled main
engine, which complies with MARPOLNOx limitation tier II, is adopted.

Naikai completes 19,000DWT black and white petroleum product tanker
Naikai Zosen Corporation completed construction of the19,000DWT black and white petroleum product tanker,
KIRANA SANTYA, for Kona Maritime S.A. at the Setoda
Works on February 28, 2013. The tanker is now servicing
transport of light and heavy oil products in the Southeast
Asia area.
The tanker has a broad beam and shallow draught forwaters with navigational draught limited to about 7.13m.
Cargo oil tanks including slop tanks are segregated into
12 tanks, and construction of double side shells and bottom are employed as an eco-friendly countermeasure toprotect cargo tanks from damage and prevent leakage ofcargo oil. Moreover, fuel oil tanks are protected by doubleside shells and bottom to prevent fuel leakage.

The total cargo tank capacity is about 23,900 cubic
meters, and cargo oil handling is achieved by three electric-drive pumps with a capacity of 600 cubic meters perhour.
This wide beam and shallow draught tanker has a superior hull form and a large rudder developed by considering propulsion performance and maneuverability. Consequently, even in shallow ports, the tanker can maintain asteady course and make smooth turns. In addition, thevessel can navigate on an even keel, which can be attainedby alternately shifting its own fuel oil between bunker
tanks installed at the bow and stern areas.

Shin Kurushima completes 11,483GT RO/RO ship for Nitto Kaiun
Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co.,
Ltd. completed construction of the11,483GT RO/RO ship, NISSEIMARU, for Nitto Kaiun Corporationof the Fujitrans Corporation groupheadquartered in Yokohama at theOnishi Shipyard in January 2013.
This vehicle carrier was built as areplacement for the predecessor,
NISSEI, owned by the Nitto Kaiun,
and was designed using the RO/ROsystem for handling vehicles including trailer chassis to achieve a greaterloading capacity than that of theNISSEI.

with a low load to the environment.
Special technologies include adoption of an electronically controlledmain engine, use of electric drives for
the RO/RO equipment, windlasses,and mooring winches (not using thehydraulic drives), installation of solar
panels (electric power generated is
supplied to accommodation quarters
via storage cells), and provision of thepower connector from the shore forcargo handling convenience.
