SIGNIFICANT SHIPS OF 1995

SIGNIFICANT SHIPS OF 1995
'LARGEST', 'first', 'fastest', 'highest
capacity'... are words which appear
frequently in the ship descriptions brought
together into this sixth edition of
Significant Ships, as designs move forward
to satisfy ever-growing demands. Thus we
find NYK's latest class of container liner
claiming to have the largest container-
intake in the world, only to lose this
distinction a few months later to OOCL
California. Both will soon move down the
league table, however, when 5000TEU-
plus and anticipated 6000TEU capacity
vessels enter service in the near future.
These designs adopt a Post-Panamax beam,
thereby allowing Neptune Sardonyx to
claim the largest container capacity for a
Panamax trader.
Crystal Symphony's claimed distinc-
tions include that of being the largest and
most spacious 'super luxury' cruise liner
afloat, whilst, when delivered in April,
Oriana was the fastest cruise ship for over
25 years. P&O's new flagship is also the
first built expressly for the British market,
and the largest in service - but that honour
too, was to be lost by the end of the year,
when P&O's Princess Cruises took
delivery of Sun Princess from Fincantieri.
Unfortunately, this latter liner was too late
for inclusion in this review.
Hanjin Pyeong Taek was Korea's first
membrane-type LNG carrier, but it was the
Japanese-built Ghasha which emerged as
the largest ship of this type in the world ...
and the first to have a 'one-man bridge
operation' notation. Some 'firsts' were
more local; the first delivery from
Samsung's newbuilding dock at Koje, for
instance, was the yard's largest new building
to date. Significantly a single-hull VLCC,
demonstrating that builders/owners/
operators of oil tankers are not all yet
minded to accept that a double hull is the
only answer to their safety problems.
That many of these dilemmas, and
similar concerns with bulk carriers, are
being addressed, but perhaps in a less
obvious way, is apparent from our reviews.
Increasingly, use is being made of classi-
fication society technology which has
introduced dynamic load approach, finite-
element analysis, and specific software
programs - such as ABS SafeHull, Lloyd's
Register's ShipRight, and the new Bureau
Veritas Veri Star suite - into the computa-
tion of scantlings, and more importantly, to
ensuring steel is positioned correctly in the
structure to withstand critical stresses.
Daewoo, with the Shell tanker Murex,
has elected, like many other builders, for a
double-hull design, using side and bottom
spacings in excess of Marpol minima. In
addition, the yard claims to have improved
fatigue characteristics to the point where a
fatigue-life of 25 years can be guaranteed.
The use of high-tensile steel has been
limited to some 26% of the steelweight in
this vessel, and the percentage use of 'T-
bar' longitudinal stiffeners has been
increased from around 60% to near 92%, to
minimise free-edges and eliminate blind
spots which are awkward or impossible to
paint.
New and special tank coatings, often
light-coloured to make leaks and corrosion
easier to detect, are now regularly specified
for most vessels included in Significant
Ships. As yet, however, none of the
sophisticated alternatives to the basic
double-hull tanker, referred to with
anticipation in earlier issues of this review,
have made a commercial appearance,
although the first E3 tanker from Astilleros
Espafioles only just missed being a 1995
delivery. We look forward to its inclusion
next year.
Our selection of ferries shows that until
full results of current investigations are
made known, operators are reluctant to
implement the more radical changes which
have been suggested for improving safety.
However, the examples illustrated show
that double hulls, and extensive alarm and
monitoring procedures, are now becoming
standard features, and that special attention
is being paid to bow-door security,
Superfast 1 notably, benefitting from the
provision of a triple bow-closure.
This vessel, and its competitor on the
Ancona/Patras route, Aretousa, inciden-
tally, break new ground by departing from
the more usual practice of Greek owners,
that of converting ferries from other routes
for their services. Also of particular interest
is the innovative 'standard ferry' intro-
duced by van der Giessen-de Noord, which
has now produced 11 variants, all devel-
oped from a basic design by simply adding
mid-body sections to produce the required
ship length.
As always, grateful thanks are extended
to builders, owners and others, who have
co-operated so fully by providing the
material for our reports, and to others, who
have supplied photographs.

Notes
In the tables which form part of each ship description, all dimensions, also deadweight and displacement tonnages, are metric, unless otherwise stated. Machinery
powers have been specified as 'Bhp' or 'kW' in accordance with information received from the shipbuilder. Emergency alternators are not included in the number of
alternators. Where a dash (-) has been included against an item, this generally denotes lack of information, but where it is known that features have not been
included, this is indicated by 'nil'. The number of sister ships completed or on order does not include the ship presented. Some ships shown as 'on order' may have
been delivered by the time this publication appears.
