CISNE BLANCO、29,999-dwt Chemical Carrier
The 29,999-dwt chemical carrier CISNE BLANCO built by Onishi Works of the Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd. was delivered in March 1996 to the Concord Marilima Navigation S.A. and the Taranaki Shipping S.A.
The vessel was built for ocean transport of methanol, oil products and chemicals IMO type 3, with fourteen zinc coated cargo tanks.
All cargo tanks are constructed as the double hulls structure and to have enough strength to permit the full and slack loading of cargo of 1.116t/m3 in specific gravity.
To preserve the inside coating of cargo tanks, structures protruding into the tank are minimized by using the on-deck girder system for the upper deck and vertical corrugated type bulkheads.
Each cargo tank is equipped with one submerged cargo pump driven by a hydraulic motor. The pumps are remotely controlled from the cargo control room.
Cargo handling is simplified with a 10-ton hydraulic operated deck crane for hose handling, arranged amidship on the upper deck.
