Their combined output gives rise to the claim that the group is the largest ship producer in the world, and if output from the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard is included, Hyundai shipyards contribute an amazing 20% of the world's output, following the recent reorganisation, it is from the Samho yard, now trading independently within the group, that Irene SL has been delivered into a fleet controlled by one of Greece's oldest shipping families. This vessel is single-decked with a sunken aft deck, but without a forecastle, and is constructed with a double skin 3.54m wide at the sides and 3.0m deep at the bottom dedicated to water ballast. Fifteen cargo tanks arc formed within the hull from a combination of two longitudinal, and four transverse bulkheads, all of troughed construction. As with most vessels of this type and size, a sloping bilge is arranged in the five port and starboard wing tanks. Framing within the double hull space is arranged longitudinally, and die cargo tanks are protected by Sigma TCN 300 coatings. Irene SL can carry three grades of cargo simultaneously, handled by three steam-turbine-driven pumps, each deli-vering 5000m3/h and housed in a room at the forward end of the engineroom. Cargo and ballast control  and  moni-toring systems  are computerised and cover operation of pumps, valves, ullage measurement, and inert-gas facili-ties. Radar-beam level gauges are fitted, and an electro-pneumatic method of sounding is used in the ballast tanks. Crude oil washing facilities are incorporated utilising a 3000m3/pump fitted in the pumproom. The design of this Hyundai-Samho VLCC is based very dosely upon similar vessels produced under the parent Hyundai name, however, Irene SL does differ from some of those deliveries by having an alternative machinery in-stallation. On this occasion, Hyundai I leavy Industries has supplied a MAN B&W 6S90MC-C. main engine with an MC:R output of 29,340kW at 76rev/min, allowing a service speed of 15.70knots to be developed from the FP pro-peller at 85% of this power. Another change sees the deletion of the shaft-driven alternator, with electrical supply derived solely from dieseldriven sets; in this case, three 1 lyundai 11 SOkVV units. To conform with recently applied environmental issues, an inert-gas scrubber system with a capacity of 18,501m3-24,000m3, is fitted to the exhaust gas uptake of the auxiliary boil-ers.
