New Generation of Oil Product Tanker Delivered for Maersk

On August 5, DSIC signed and delivered No. 43 115,000dwt crude oil/product tanker built for Maersk Tankers. Deng Changlian, deputy general manager of DSIC, and directors of relevant departments attended the signing ceremony.

The ship is the first in a new series of product ships built for Maersk Tankers. The ship is 250 meters in length, 44 meters in width and 21.9 meters in depth. It has a deadweight tonnage of 115,000 tons, a structural draft of 15.35 meters and a designed speed of 14.5 knots. It is registered with Lloyd's Register under the Singapore flag.

Facing with heavy production task and great difficulty in construction of the first ship, DSIC has formulated detailed work objectives for each stage, and vigorously promoted the first responsibility system. In order to overcome the impact of the epidemic on construction progress, DSIC carried out special live segment raids to recover the progress delayed in the early stage. Since the beginning of March, the team of more than 100 people on average has been organized every day to seize the progress and overcome difficulties.

The FRAMO system of deep well pump, a new type of equipment, involves many deck systems and is difficult to organize. The General Assembly Department, together with the project team, Design Institute of DSIC, service providers and other personnel at all levels, refined the process, assigned responsibility to each person, and carries out 24-hour uninterrupted construction for 10 days, so as to ensure that the hydraulic system can be debugged and inspected the test of oil displacement under pressure on time, and the empty ship weighing and sea trial nodes can be realized on schedule. Before the trial, many service providers for system equipment of the ship could not enter the factory on schedule. In order to ensure the smooth commissioning and inspection of the system, the commissioning personnel of the project overcame various difficulties by means of self-study, remote assistance and so on, and independently completed commissioning and acceptance of multiple systems such as fuel gas, steering gear, ICCP and new temperature control system.
