Recently, Singapore-based ASL Shipyard successfully delivered a product tanker designed by FKAB.
Ping Yun is a 5500 M3/5000 DWT product oil and IMO 2 chemical tanker, with a total length 100m and 12 phenolic epoxy coated cargo tanks. Each cargo tank installed with an electric motor driven deep well pump.
The patent F-Bow hull form ensures good performance in waves and calm water. A bow thruster and a high-lift rudder, together with CPP propeller and integrated propeller boss/rudder bulb design, all makes the vessel with excellent maneuverability as well as propulsion efficiency. Frequency controlled shaft generator is installed to further reduce fuel consumption at sea.
Ping Yun is expected to load her 1st cargo on 9 April. Very impressive performance for vessel of this size, not only speed and consumption, but also turning circles and noise level etc”. – Mr. Ang KL, Executive Director ASL Shipyard, Singapore.
