Analysis of the Key Technology of a 17 500 DWT Chemical Tanker with Reduced Ballast Water
Based on shipowner's demand for less ballast,an analysis is carried out to determine the main dimensions of a 17 500 DWT chemical carrier that is different from conventional design and to optimize the ballast scheme.The ballast of the ship is about 30％less than the average of existing ship types.This paper elaborates the application of energy-saving solutions such as axial generators and lithium batteries,reserved liquefied natural gas(LNG)fuel plans,and the special considerations for IA class navigation in ice regions,to provide reference for the optimization and upgrading of this ship type.
