Sumitomo Heavy Industries Marine & Engineering Co., Ltd. (SHIME) delivered the 105,250MTDW double-hull Aframax crude oil carrier, Star Lady to Amadeus Shipping UK Limited at Yokosuka Shipyard of SHIME on 2 June 2005. The hull form is optimized to achieve high propulsive efficiency and is designed with highly reliable structures. The ships from the class are high qualited and useful. The Sumitomo Stern System (SILD, NBS propeller and HLES Rudder) saves fuel consumption and improves maneuverability. Cargo oil tanks and piping systems are arranged in triple-segregation groups for flexible cargo ships handling. Water ballast tanks are coated with modified epoxy coating with back up anodes for easy maintenance and inspection. The vapor emission control system (VECS) is installed, complying with the US Coast Guard require-ments to prevent air pollution during cargo handling. For ship safety, a fixed flammable gas detection system is provided in water ballast tanks adjacent to cargo oil tanks. The main engine is a camshaft- less 6RT-FLEX58TB with intelligent electronic control system, which can optimize and improve fuel oil consumption, and reduce exhaust gas emissions, such as NOx, smoke, etc., at low steaming speed.
