 British
Innovator is vessel, which is giving a lot of innovations into the
world of gas carrying. This ship is LNG carrier (Liquid Natural
Gas Carrier) is designed with double hull technology, which is required
by IMO for the last 15 years, and saves the world from possible
flowing into the ocean. Such may be a grand disaster for the whole
sea life. The deadweight of British Innovator is 75,074 metric tons.
The length of the ship is 278.8 meters and the beam of the vessel
is 42.6 meters. The draft of British Innovator, when she is fully
loaded is 11.35 meters. The vessel can reach the maximum speed of
20.1 knots, and the economy speed is the very good 17.9 knots. With
this speed and with innovations into the engine system the vessel
is reducing the fuel consumption of fuel with more than 10%, and
CO2 emissions with nearly 8% from all other ships from the same
class. The vessel has innovative engine and very good shape for
reducing strength of the water. The main engine of British Innovator
is single steam turbine, made by the famous company of ship-building
and engine construction Mitsubishi. The whole power that this engine
is giving to the ship is 13,015 kW. The auxiliary diesel generators
add 3,100 kW more to the whole ship power and this makes the vessel
very powerful and fast. The vessel was built on 13th of November,
2002 and the day is Wednesday. The Samsung heavy Industries Company
Limited, situated in Korea creates one bijou in shipping and LNG
carrying, and this bijou is British Innovator. The vessel shines
with a lot of stars on the crown of BP Shipping and you may easy
see this.
The
vessel was registered in the port of Douglas, island of man and
flag of British Innovator is British. The ship is operated by BP
Shipping Limited and registered by Lloyd and certified every year
from the same institution. Very interesting for this fact is that
this vessel passed every inspection with 5 and more points from
all 6 available. This means that British Innovator is very modern,
well held on and very useful for the company of BP Shipping. The
vessel is profitable and with its innovations paid the price for
its building many times for the years of sailing. You will see the
beautiful vessel into some pictures that we offer to you, and this
is the really nice LNG carrying, wonder of engineer building.
