For durable and long term ship operation, structural analyses were conducted through simulation of the maximum and repetitive loads on the vessel. Special coating with long lasting performance against corrosion is applied to the interior surface of ballast tanks and cargo oil tanks. (CSA-2(25))
The bridge is totally enclosed to improve work efficiency of the crew. The bridge is extended from the wheelhouse to both sides of the bridge. The cockpit type arrangement is adopted in the bridge for centralized control system including bow loading and vessel's position keeping.
Furthermore, the submerged turret loading (STL) system can be applied in the future since the vessel is already provided with a cone (opening) at the bow bottom to connect with an oil loading buoy under the sea surface. If the need for the STL system arises, the STL system can be fully installed on the vessel without drydocking.
