[Hyomun news stand Korea Financial News] DSME 28th a contract for the first time in the world 'Icebreaker liquefied natural gas carriers (the icebreaking LNG), the successful completion of all tests, including binghae test and said dwaetdago India shipowners side.
The ship is the length 299m, width 50m to 170,000 3600㎥ 'Arc (ARC) -7' carrying of LNG (the whole country for two days the amount available), you can go smashing through the ice up to 2.1m thick-class icebreaking LNG carriers to be. Players and stern portions abutting directly and ice, I used the ultra-high strength special steel plate three times thicker than normal 70mm thick ship steel plate.
In fact, after leaving the DSME Okpo Shipyard in November binghae real progress in commissioning the Arctic region in the last one month, it shows a successful icebreaker sailing performance met the owners side.
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering DSME icebreaking capabilities and while a combination of LNG transport LNG carriers feature dry ice breaking free world has raised the number of accumulated design experience and production capacity for a maximum. In particular, DSME has continued to continuous research and development to improve productivity by developing an automatic welding robot (Caddy) for a successful dry icebreaking LNG carriers.
Commercial vessel, such as 360 mounted Rotatable 'azido pod thruster (Azipod Thruster)' 3 groups in order to maximize optimal cold processing and after two-way icebreaking flight ability of all the devices to be stably movable in the extreme 52 degrees below zero field was applied, such as the first special propulsion systems and fuel supply.
In particular, vaporization occurring in the LNG tank gas (BOG: Boil-off Gas) the LNG fuel supply system for supplying the engine with a propulsion fuel (FGSS: Fuel Gas Supply System) and D-VaCo (DSME Vaporizer for supplying a gas fuel to a generator and Compressor) to the DSME systems apply a unique technology developed in-house and realized fully the needs of shipowners for eco-friendly, highly efficient vessels.
DSME has been in progress for the development of Arctic resources, it predicts that in 2008 hwalbalhae be from polar research vessel for the development and investment proactively. The icebreaking LNG carriers soon as India Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering of shipbuilding technology once again to announce to the world was to have a unique competitive edge in the market for polar ships at the same time.
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine officials "With this successful Indian icebreaking LNG carriers, was lined with a history of stroke in shipbuilding" and "Year 14 remaining ships also take advantage of the continuous drying, will contribute to the company's management to normalize," he said.
