Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) successfully delivered the SERI BAKTI (HN: 2220), a large
membrane type LNG carrier with a tank capacity of 152,300m3, at the Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery
Works on June 29. The SERI BAKTI is the first ship of a series of five membrane type LNG carriers, ordered
from MHI by Malaysia’s largest shipping company, MISC, in 2004.
The newly designed hull form, together with the propulsion system, achieves higher efficiency and fuel
saving. Targeted for worldwide trading, the ship has a high degree of compatibility with various LNG terminals.
The fuel oil tanks are constructed in double hull form, which is an environment-friendly feature
that contributes to reduce the risk of oil pollution.
The ship also achieves higher reliability and performance in its operation with the state-of-the-art
MHI DCS (Distributed Control System). All five ships MHI delivers largest membrane type LNG carrier
will be delivered by 1Q 2009. The first three ships feature conventional steam turbines and the last two
ships have Dual Fuel Diesel Engines (DFDE) for the main propulsion system.
