Stolt
Achievement is vessel designed to carry the most dangerous cargo
of the world and this it chemicals. The dangerous cargo is verry
interesting for carrying because vessel should not be large and
should not be so good designed, than to be secure. Some cargos are
very expenssive and even 2 liters difference in the quantity may
be very big problem for the crew. And when we are talking about
ship with lenght of 177 m, a breadht of 31.2m and a draft of 15.6
m the things are going harder. Stolt Achievement has na deadweight
of 37,000 mt and a displacement of 49,907 mt. The gross registered
tonnage is 25,196 mt and the net registered tonnage is of 12,048
mt.
Vessel
is very interesting with its looking and with its contrucion.
We cannot talk about beautiful white vessel, but we can talk about
engineering interesting construction. The cargo pumps are Frame
and the tanks have a capacity of 41799 liters and the number of
tanks is 54, which means that this veesel has a 54 manifolds and
it is a little bit hard to opperate with them. The main engine of
the vessel should give enought power to all the equipment of the
vessel and to give enough speed to it. The main engine is Sulzer
6RTA48T, MCR with power of 8,281 kW at 124 rpm. This main engine
gives a cruise speed of the vessel Stolt Achievement of nearly 17
knots and the maximum speed is about 19 knots. This is very much
for such chemical tanker with so dangerous cargo on board, but the
vessel is very easy to maneuver. date: 14th March, 2008
