10 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The vessel is designed as single screw, grain-fitted bulk carrier for

unrestricted navigation and service, being capable to carry bulk cargoes
such as coal, grain, ore, etc. as well as heavy cargoes with maximum tank
top load for each cargo hold to be 18 t/m2.
Alternate loading in all holds are allowed. All cargo holds bottom are to be
reinforced for grab discharging as per Rules’ recommendation with special
notation.
Cargo area is divided into four (4) cargo holds by means of double hull
bulkheads, no steel structure in cargo holds. 24.5x18.2 m clear hatch
openings give the vessel easy loading/unloading.
The hull is designed with bulbous bow, raked stem and transom stern.
Ballast pipe tunnel is arranged at center of double bottom. The cofferdam

between the engine room and the cargo area is also connected to the pipe
tunnel.
Cargo holds are to be surrounded by four (4) pairs of type ballast tanks at
sides and four (4) pairs in double bottom. Also fore peak and aft peak tanks
are to be dedicated to carry ballast water.
The space between side ballast tank top and main deck is to be used as
passage way along the cargo area.
Fresh water is to be carried in tanks, located on both sides at aft of the

vessel. The neighborhood of the fuel oil tanks with the sea is prevented by
cofferdams so that the double hull structure is provided.
Fore structure, with bulbous bow, which has a single continuous upper deck
with fore castle, is to be constituted by fore peak tank, bow thruster room,
paint store and chain lockers.
Engine room contains double sided HFO, MDO and LO tanks, Potable
Fresh Water, Miscellaneous Tanks, separate Separator Room, Diesel
Generator Room, Boiler Room, Workshop, ECR, HPP & Solenoid Box
Room, Incinerator Room, Change Rooms, Laundry and Steering Gear
Room.
Accommodation, which is to be located aft part, is to be divided in four (4)

decks, excluding the main deck. The wheelhouse deck and navigation deck
complete the accommodation. Total 20+2 cabins (including pilot and repair
man cabins) with private facilities, two mess rooms, cargo control room,
M/T TBN
offices, galley, laundry, stores, provision rooms and hospital are to be

arranged.
Galley & Sanitary HVAC Room, Fan Room, Emergency Diesel Generator
Room, HVAC Room, Store, Rope Store, Deck Store and Provision Rooms
