SURVEYORS
SUMMARY
The vessel was found to be a very good, Japanese built
Aframax tanker maintained to a high standard. The
Classification society awarded the vessel CAP ONE (highest
standard of structural condition) at the last drydocking in
2014. Being over 15 years of age, the Oil majors require a
minimum of CAP TWO to be employment; therefore the
vessel stands well positioned in terms of its commercial
viability having the higher standard to offset the negative
aspect of being over 15 years of age. Consultation with IDWAL GRADE Condition

[USD]
There is no Main Engine required Tier I, NOx Dry Dock July 2016 $120,000.00
rating. This has been missed by both Class and
Flag for the Main Engine, according to onboard
records. An upgrade is required. The former is a
very elusive regulation in Marpol Annex 6, which
applied retrospectively to vessels built between
1990 and 2000 as it required a retrofit of fuel
injection equipment to lower emissions. Upgrade
kits are available and in some cases a flag
dispensation can be achieved on economic
grounds to avoid doing the upgrade. Sellers were
aware of this point.
No compulsory ECDIS (Electronic Chart System) Dry-dock July 2016. $65,000.00

system is fitted. Vessel needs two ECDIS units to
comply or a single ECDIS maintaining both
electronic and paper charts which is even more
costly.
One Auxiliary engine is about 30% overdue major Due Drydock $60,000.00
overhaul maintenance and two exhaust valves on
main engine are overdue.
CAP One which somewhat counters the effect of N/A $0.00

being 20 years old in the eyes of oil Majors. The
structure could be considered well above average
for the age.
The vessel has a spare propeller on board. N/A $0.00
Due to the ballast water convention not yet being N/A $0.00
fully implemented, by dry-docking in July 2016, it
is unlikely the expensive ballast water treatment
system will be required until 2021.

CONDITION SUMMARY
Hull Condition
Very good condition at only few months before her scheduled 4th periodical survey.
Focsle & Poop Deck

Very good with no rusting, hydraulic leaks and all snap back zones painted with bollards properly marked.
There is a towing winch aft and chain forward. Mooring arrangements use wires with rope tails.
Maindeck & Fittings

The vessel looks very impressive and with no signs of any deterioration comparable with vessels half her age.
Ballast Tanks & Void Spaces

The coatings are dark coloured as opposed the later IACS requirement of light coatings. That said, the FP, AP
and combined wing/DB tanks 2P and 3S were inspected and the coatings are still very good. Extensive crew
upgrading had been done with riding gangs to reach the current high standard and achieve CAP One rating.
There is no Ballast water treatment system but the vessel shall likely escape this requirement until 2021 from
the timing of periodical survey.
Accommodation
Less primitive than the majority of Japanese vessels. The ratings share common shower/toilets with ratio 2
seamen to one with each neighboring cabin having access; officers have their own facilities. The galley has an
unhygienic open deckhead and no dishwasher, the Laundries are fitted with cheap domestic washing
machines. Natural daylight is not the best with A4 sized windows.
Navigating Bridge & Communication Equipment

Simple functional design. No ECDIS is fitted which shall be immediately required on drydocking.
Engine Room, Machinery & Machinery Spaces

Unlike some Japanese built vessels, this one has UMS avoiding excessive crew. Very reliable equipment is
fitted and there were no real problems seen or reported. Extra rotary deck air compressors were fitted to
provide air for upgrading works. The fuel tank arrangement is very inflexible and has not been converted to
operate in ECA zones. The main engine NOx rating has not been complied with to Tier I levels and has been
missed by Class and Flag.
Fire & Safety Appliances

Very good simple fixed firefighting system that gives low expansion foam on deck through the monitors and
provides high expansion foam for the engineroom from the singlespacesavingfoam source. Of note there
is no first attack hypermist system due to age of vessel.
Lifesaving Equipment
Very well maintained davits for the lifeboats with regularly launching being done.
Safe Working
No unsafe practices observed.
Pollution Control
Very Good except that that the highly recommended practice of fitting numbered seals at all pipe joins around
the oily water separator has not been done.
Onboard Management & Crew Motivation

Very high with good vetting results having only minor findings.
Cargo Systems
The Cargo tanks were last seen in drydock (always under IG or having cargo) when Cap One was achieved, so
one can assume acceptable standard as of 2014, thus the IDWAL grading has compensated for that point as
normally unseen cargo tanks on a 20year old vessel would be rated as 1. They are coated only top and
bottom with the sides left bare steel.

There are 14 cargo tanks as 7 pairs. Each pair separated by a central longitudinal bulkhead, bounded by double skin J type ballast
tanks to the sides of the hull and the double bottoms. A conventional pump room is fitted. It contains three steam turbine drive
centrifugal cargo pump s for cargo discharge, with a vacuum stripping system and a stripping pump.
The cargo tanks have partial paint coatings applied to the top and bottom of the tank (under-deck and tank top). The two slop
tanks are fully coated and have steam heating coils.
Although no cargo tanks were seen, records from Class in September 2014 indicate their condition as good.
A crude oil washing system (COW) and a boiler flue gas type Inert Gas System is fitted.

PROPULSION MACHINERY COMMENTS
The main engine is a single acting slow speed two stroke, direct drive, reversing unit driving a fixed pitch, right-hand, 5 blade
aluminium bronze propeller, 7m diameter with a pitch of 5m at the radial position 0.7R on a keyless tail-shaft.
The stern tube ( Kobelco DX630h) has been modified with environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL). There is no special main
engine cylinder lubrication system applied, and the engine appears to have been over lubricating. The engine speed control is by
a hydraulic Woodward PGA governor. There are twin MHI MET 66SD turbochargers with plain bearings. The specific fuel
consumption is 125.92 g/kwh as measured on 28.5.2016. A crankcase oil mist detector, Daihatsu Mb9 is fitted. The vessel
benefits having a spare new propeller.
The engine room is certified for Unmanned Machinery Space (UMS) and operates as such.
There is no central cooling system fitted, which can increase the systems maintenance, as each heat exchanger will need regular
cleaning from marine growth. The risk of more seawater piping has been mitigated by the use of polyethylene lined piping.
The low voltage and domestic system is the Japanese standard of 110V (difficult for sourcing domestic appliances in Europe).
The engine room is between the tank top; third deck; then 2nd Deck; then main deck level, with only the boiler and exhaust
uptakes extending beyond main deck up the funnel internal spaces. The air conditioning, refrigeration plant, cargo control
hydraulics, emergency generator and the foam station are all above main deck as part of the superstructure.
