Tankers-VLCC
OLYMPIC LEGACY, 302,000-dwt Double-Hull VLCC
Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. has built the double-hull VLCC OLYMPIC LEGACY at its Oppama Shipyard. The vessel was delivered to Springlake S.A., an Onassis Group company, in February 1996 as a sister vessel of VLCC OLYMPIC LOYALTY delivered in 1993.
The vessel meets the latest requirements for double hull tankers, new MARPOL regulations adopted at IMO MEPC 32, and the United States OPA 90 concerning tank arrangement, double-hull dimensions and vessel stability.
The hull structure was designed using ABS DLA (Dynamic Load Approach) and advanced fatigue analysis to achieve the highest degree of structural reliability. DLA is a design method used to improve structural reliability by analyzing dynamic structural strength under wide range of load conditions.
Design Features
1. Optimized hull-form and high propulsive efficiency
2. Large cargo tank capacity in quadruple segregation groups for flexible cargo handling
3. Hull structure of highest reliability with ABS DLA
4. Tin-free anti-fouling paint for underwater hull to prevent marine pollution
5. VECS (Vapor Emission Control System) to prevent air pollution during cargo handling
6. Provision for inerting and gas-freeing for double-hull spaces
7. Less maintenance heavy tarepoxy coating system with back- up anodes in water ballast tanks
8. Corrosion resistant type steel pipe for cargo oil system
9. Maintenance-free GRP pipe for water ballast system
10. Energy saving duct (SILD ; Sumitomo Integraled Lammeren Duct) at stern
