Pacific Fantasy

Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (SSK) has completed construction of the 115,577 crude oil tanker, PACIFIC FANTASY (HN: 749). The ships with this size are better known as PanamaMax Size. The tanker is the tenth vessel of the 115,000DWT Aframax series built at the Sasebo Shipyard. The tanker is the flush deck type without forecastle. The engine room and the living quarters are arranged aft, and cargo tanks are arranged along the centerline, which consist of 14 tanks including slop tanks. 14 ballast tanks are provided to the modern ship, but even with these size and so large number of pipes the ship is prevented ecological polutions. The shipsides and bottoms are double hull constructions. The oil tanker has the longitudinal bulkheads forming the double hull construction. The ABS Safe Hull-CM is applied to cope with the fatigue strength. The height of the fishplate meets the Exxon Mobil requirements. Cargooil pipes consist of three lines that allows handling two or three types of oils simultaneously without mixing different types of oils. Two sets of chain stoppers for SPM are arranged. Tar free coating systems are applied in water ballast tanks for corrosion prevention of the tanks. Big windows are arranged in the wheelhouse to have 360-degree view. The navigation and engine requirements for the vessel are high and the cargo ship is among the best handled cargo and cruise ships of the world.
