The 296,000-dwt crude oil carrier, BERGE FUJI, was con-
structed at Ariake Works of Hitachi Zosen and delivered
in July, 2000.
Features1. She is able to satisfy the dual demand, namely 257,500-
dwt for East Asia trades (mainly Japan) which is ob-
tained at the designed draft and 296,000-dwt for Euro-
pean and USA trades at the max. draft as well. More-
over cargo tank capacity of approx. 2.1 million bar-
rels at 98 % basis exceeds the general requirement of
2 million barrels for VLCCs. Thus the vessel can be
employed in both trades and greatly enhances the
operational flexibility.
2. One of the features of Hitachi Zosen’s double-hull VLCC
is that it is equipped with inboard water ballast tanks.
This design provides a good balance of hull strength
and lowers steel reinforcement requirements.
3. From the point of safety from fatigue strength, HT steel
is limited to the longitudinal structural members for
upper deck part and bottom.
4. Powered by a Hitachi Zosen-MAN-B&W 7S80MC low
speed and long stroke main diesel engine and
equipped with the Super Stream Duct (SSD) astern,
the vessel has excellent propulsion efficiency and
energy-saving capability. Moreover the hull is coated
with tin-free self-polishing anti-fouling paint to ensure
prevention of long-term hull fouling.

SPARTIA75,115-dwt Panamax Bulk Carrier
BULK CARRIERS / PANAMAX
SPARTIA was completed in July, 2000 as the hundredth
Panamax bulker built by Hitachi Zosen Corp.
SPARTIA is also the fifth vessel of the Panamax Jumbo
which is the fourth generation of the Hitachi Panamax.
Hitachi Panamax Jumbo is the largest class bulker of the
Panamax type with a 75,000 ton deadweight and 90,000
m3 cargo and was developed based on Hitachi's abun-
dant experience in order to satisfy a wide range of de-
mands by various clients.
Features1. Block coefficient was increased up to the ultimate
level together with minimizing fore and aft end parts
to realize maximum cargo deadweight/volume within
limited dimensions.
2. In order to maintain the adequate propulsive perfor-
mance even with such a full hull shape, theoretical
analysis using CFD was fully utilized together with
model tests which has contributed to the optimiza-
tion of hull shape.
In addition to the above, the super stream duct (SSD),
which is an energy saving device developed by
Hitachi, is installed and contributes to cutting neces-
sary power by 5 to 7 %.
3. The areas of the hatchway are widened and maxi-
mized to enhance cargo loading and unloading effi-
ciency.
4. Automation provision corresponding to unmanned
engine room is included as standard.
5. MARPOL Annex VI is applied and NOx emission is
lowered as a countermeasure for environment pro-
tection.

VIETSOVPETRO 01154,146-dwt Floating Storage and Offloading Unit
OFFSHORE ENGINEERING
VIETSOVPETRO 01, a 154,146-dwt FSO (Floating Storage
and Offloading Unit) ordered by MODEC, Inc. was com-
pleted at Ariake Works of Hitachi Zosen on September 7,
2000 and was delivered to VIETSOVPETRO of Vietnam
from MODEC, Inc. on December 12th, 2000.
Features1. The vessel was newly constructed in a short time from
the beginning of November in about 10 months.
2. The cargo oil tanks are double hulled as a precaution
against marine pollution.
3. The vessel has an external turret, which takes oil from
the seabed and is for mooring in bow.
4. Oil taken from the turret, is heated by “Inlet Heater
Unit”. After that, oil is stored in “Process Tank” tempo-
rarily, which separates oil and seawater by gravity. Oil
in upper position of “Process Tank” is shifted to other
cargo oil tanks by main gravity and seawater in the
lower side of “Process Tank” is shifted to Slop Tanks by
main gravity. Seawater in slop tanks is shifted to “Hy-
dro Cyclone Unit”, which separates further, seawater
and oil further. Separated oil is shifted to “Process Tank”
again. Oil is separated nearly 100 % from seawater by
this process.
5. Oil which is stored in cargo oil tanks, is shifted to shuttle
tanker after shifted value of oil is measured by “Meter-
ing Unit”.
6. All pipes and valves for cargo and ballast are installed
in “Pipe Duct” which is arranged in center of double
bottom considering the easy maintenance in opera-
tion. “Pipe Duct” has a traffic device, by which crew
can access in the longitudinal direction of FSO.

WEST VENTURE was built by Hitachi Zosen Ariake Works
and delivered to Smedvig Offshore AS at Bergen, Norway
on February 2000, and the drilling / workover operation
was started at Troll C oil field off Bergen. The rig has a
fully redundant DPS (Dynamic Positioning System), a
large variable deck load and a high efficiency dual
RamRig system, and meets the requirements for deep
water drilling. The rig is a 5th generation semi submers-
ible rig and is currently the most advanced rig in the
world.
The most unique feature of the rig is the dual RamRig,
Hydraulic, system that is superior to any other conven-
tional drilling system and the first system of its kind to
operate anywhere in the world.
(1) Norwegian Rules (NPD,NMD)
The Norwegian rules (NPD and NMD) which are well
known as the most stringent offshore rules in the
world, are fully applied for safety, reliability and
maintenability of the rig.
(2) Variable Deck Load
The rig bear large VDL (5,500 MT) for very deep wa-
ter operation.
(3) Full DPS and Operating Water Depth (NMD DP Class
3, DYNPOS AUTRO)
The rig is operated under fully automated dynamic
positioning mode by means of eight (8) azimuth
thrusters in very deep water.
(4) Automated Drilling Equipment
Most part of drilling equipment, RamRig, Mud sys-
tem and BOP control, is well-automated in order to
produce high efficiency, reduced personnel and safe
environment for drilling operation.
(5) Installation / Maintenance for sub-sea Equipment
The rig also carry out installation / maintenance of
subsea equipment as well.

Hitachi Zosen - MAN B&W 5S60MC-C
ENGINES
In October 2000, Hitachi Zosen Diesel
& Engineering Co., Ltd. in Kumamoto
completed the manufacture of Hitachi
Zosen-MAN B&W 5S60MC-C diesel en-
gine which was installed on the 75,000
MT Panamax-size bulk carrier.
This engine contributes to increasing
the cargo space of the ship by shorten-
ing the engine length by 10% com-
pared with the S-MC type and also the
output is increased by 10% based on
the mean effective pressure of 1.90 MPa
with the following new design applica-
tion for increasing reliability.
With the increased power, the number
of cylinders can be decreased by one
cylinder to maintain the same optimal
point of 6S60MC for this project.
a) Tin-Al shell bearing for main bear-
ings, crank pin and cross-head bear-
ings
To greatly improve safety margin,
new material is used for the bear-
ings.
b) High topland piston with Constant
Pressure Release (CPR) rings
Excellent service performance was
already indicated in its application
to the S-MC type
c) Al-Bronze coating for the piston ring
surface was applied for more excel-
lent running-in result can be ex-
pected.
d) Applying newly developed Exhaust
gas Turbocharger
Higher efficiency than the specified
level can be obtained.

In December 2000, Hitachi Zosen Diesel & Engineering
Co., Ltd. completed the Hitachi Zosen-MAN B&W 12L50MC
Mk6 diesel engine which was installed on the Ro/Ro ves-
sel operating between Hokkaido and Yokohama. This
engine contributes to keeping the cargo space of the ship
flat to obtain the optimal height for engines in this class of
low-speed engines although the engine length was in-
creased because of the twelve cylinders.
To obtain more power, the mean effective pressure was
increased by 1.80 MPa based on the results of the world’s
newly developed L50MC Mark 6 engine.
For maintaining reliability, the updated design developed
for MC-C, i.e. High Topland Piston Crown, Constant Pres-
sure Relief piston ring with additional height, shorter height
piston skirt with copper band, calliper type thrust bearing,
etc., were applied.
As special application for this project, Auxiliary Blowers
were arranged to the improved type as applied for MC-C
engine, and as countermeasure for low-load operation, the

exhaust gas by-pass system was applied, which are effec-
tive in the operation of the low load, i.e. lower than 60%, to
keep the combustion chamber in excellent condition by
applying higher scavenging pressure at low load, but the
high pressure was compensated by opening the by-pass
valve automatically at the high load i.e. higher than 60%.
The Main engine was arranged by non-reversible type
because of the Constant Pitch Propeller application and
the MEP dependent system was applied to the cylinder
lubricator to keep the appropriate level of lubrication in
the case of constant engine speed.
