Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
Bulk carriers are single deck vessels and generally have
5 to 9 hatches equipped with sliding hatch covers.
They have double bottom tanks with the tank top rising
outwards to the ship’s side to form hoppers. Wing tanks
are provided on either side which are used as ballast
tanks as well as for loading grain cargo sometimes.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
One or two holds may be designated as ballast holds to carry water ballast if required for stability purposes in rough weather. The machinery spaces and accommodation are aft and the cargo space configuration depending on the types of cargoes; for example iron ore carriers have different hold and ballast tanks configuration.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
Bulk carriers normally carry single commodity for the single shipper at prevailing freight rates agreed between the owner and the shipper. On long hauls there is considerable reduction in the per ton-mile cost of transportation.
Bulk carriers today typically range from 20,000 to 300,000 tonnes deadweight with speeds from 13 to 16 knots.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and TankersTankers: Vessels carrying liquid cargoes in bulk are termed astankers. They carry dirty oil (crude), clean oils (refined petroleumproducts); chemicals; liquefied gases.Tankers have long hulls with small freeboard. These ships have
singlebottom under the cargo tanks and the engine room is aft of the cargotanks. The cargo space is divided into tanks with transverse andlongitudinal bulkheads. The longitudinal bulkhead safeguardagainst free surface effect and sloshing. Cargo tanks are separatedby cofferdams to prevent leakage into water tanks and machineryspace. Because of the fire hazard associated with oils and its vapour,effective separation from the accommodation and machineryspace is of paramount importance.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
The biggest hazard associated with tankers is that of fire and explosion.
Product tankers: These are used for transporting refined oil products. They range from about 40,000 – 50,000DWT and more than one type of product can be carried simultaneously.

Gas Carriers Gas carriers range in capacity from the
small pressurised tankers of between 500 and 6,000 m3 for shipment of propane, butane and the chemical gases at ambient temperature up to the fully insulated or refrigerated seagoing tankers of over 100,000 m3 capacity for the transport of LNG and LPG. Between those two distinct types is a third tanker type – semi pressurised gas carrier.

A nominal 3/8-in.-thick primary membrane fabricated of stainless steel or Invar. Note that the latter, an alloy containing 36% nickel and 64% iron, has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion.
A nominal 3/8-in.-thick secondary membrane of alloy steel separated from the primary membrane by about a foot of perlite insulation. Perlite is a naturally occurring, lightweight volcanic glass.
Another foot or so of perlite separates the secondary membrane from the nominal 1-in.-thick inner hull.
The outer hull (1 to 1½ in. steel plate) forms a ballast tank with the inner hull. The inner and outer hulls are separated by a distance of about 8 to 10 ft.

Gas Carriers
These very flexible tankers are able to carry many cargoes in a fully refrigerated condition at atmospheric pressure or at temperatures corresponding to carriage pressure of between five and nine bar. The movement of liquefied gases by waterways is now a mature industry, served by a fleet of many tankers, a network of export and import terminals and a wealth of knowledge and experience on the part of various people involved.

Gas Carriers A feature almost unique to the gas carrier is
that the cargo is kept under positive pressure to prevent air entering the cargo system. This means that only cargo liquid and cargo vapour are present in the cargo tank and flammable atmospheres cannot develop.
Furthermore all gas carriers utilise closed cargo systems when loading or discharging, with no venting of vapour being allowed to the atmosphere.

Boil Off Gas
Neither type of storage system is fully effective and, the gas cargo boils off at the rate of around 0.15 per cent per day. Ordinarily this would be considered a negative factor, but for the fact that most LNG ships are designed to make use of this tendency and are equipped with gas turbine engines that are mostly fuelled by the Boil Off Gas (BOG). For this reason LNG carriers only need to take on bunkers for auxiliary engines and for running the boilers for the turbines in port.

Gas carriers In the LNG trade, provision is always
made for the use of a vapour return line between tanker and shore to pass vapour displaced by the cargo transfer. In the LPG trade this is not always the case as, under normal circumstances during loading, reliquefaction is used to retain vapour on board. By these means cargo release to the atmosphere is virtually eliminated and the risk of vapour ignition is minimised.

Gas carriers
Gas carriers are divided into two main groups.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Carriers, which are designed to carry mainly butane, propane, butadiene, propylene, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and are able to carry anhydrous ammonia.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Carriers, which are designed to carry liquefied natural gas (which is mostly methane).

Gas Carriers
Gas carriers are classed in three types based on hazard potential:
i) type 1G, designed to carry the most hazardous cargoes
ii) type 2G , designed to carry cargoes having a lesser degree of hazard
iii) type 3G, designed to carry cargoes of the least hazardous nature.

Gas Carriers
Gas carrier typesAll gas cargoes are transported in liquid form and, because of their physical and chemical properties, they are carried either at:- pressures greater than atmospheric, or at- temperatures below ambient, or a combination of both.Therefore, gas carriers are generally grouped as follows:
i) Fully Pressurised
ii) semi-pressurised and refrigerated
iii) fully refrigerated

Gas carriers
LNG is mainly methane and ethane. LNG ships carry their cargo at -161°C, at a relative density of approximately 0.600 with a volume contraction ratio of 1 in 600. LNG cargo is carried at ambient pressure.
LPG is mainly propane and butane. LPG ships carry their cargo at -42°C, at a relative density of approximately 0.500 with a volume contraction ratio of 1 in 300. LPG cargo may be carried under pressure.

Gas Carriers
The cargo tank construction of LNG and LPG ships can be of (a) prismatic design (b) membrane design or (c) spherical design. Materials used for these cargo tanks can be aluminium, balsa wood, plywood, invar or nickel steel, stainless steel, with pearlite and polyurethane foam.
Because of the demand for insulation at these extremely low cargo temperatures, the first cost of these specialised ships are extremely high. A very high standard of workmanship is required for the building of these types of vessel.

Gas carriers
Their capacity ranges from 75000 to 138000m3 of gas, their LBPs up to 280 m and their Br. Mld from 25 to 46 m. When fully loaded, their CB can be 0.660 up to 0.680 with service speed in the range of 16–20.75 kt. They are fine-form vessels .
Gas carriers must comply with the standards set by the Gas Codes or national rules, and with all safety and pollution requirements common to other tankers.

Gas carriers
Safety features inherent in the tanker design requirements have helped in the safety of these tankers. Equipment requirements for gas carriers include temp and pressure monitoring, gas detection and cargo tank liquid level indicators, all of which are provided with alarms and ancillary instrumentation. The variation of equipment as fitted can make the gas carrier one of the most sophisticated tankers afloat today.

Gas carriers
There is much variation in the design, construction and operation of gas carriers due to the variety of cargoes carried and the number of cargo containment systems utilized. Cargo containment systems may be of the independent tanks (pressurized, semi-pressurized or fully refrigerated) or of the membrane type.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
Gas carriers (LNG & LPG carriers) These vessels carry gases that are liquefied. The volume after liquefaction could be as much as 600 times less than in the gaseous state. Liquefaction can be achieved by increasing pressure or reducing the temperature or a combination of both.
LPG consisting mainly of propane, butane, propylene, butylene was carried in pressurized vessels prior to 1959. Present day vessels carry the gas at a temperature of -50° C. The tanks are cylindrical, placed horizontally or of prismatic construction with insulation sprayed on the inner hull.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers
Natural gas has a much lower critical temperature and much higher critical pressure. The LNG is therefore carried at a temperature below -160° C. The tanks are either spherical free-standing with domes visible from the deck. The very low temperature of the LNG poses a problem of brittle fracture.

Lesson 1: Bulk Carriers and Tankers Chemical carriers: These purpose-built tankers were constructed from about 1954. Chemicals carried in bulk are either derivatives of crude oil, coal tar, vegetable oils and fats or are heavy chemicals like sulphuric, nitric, phosphoric acids and caustic soda. The problems associated with the carriage of chemicals are pollution and safety hazards. The operation and construction of these vessels are governed by the Bulk Chemical (BCH) Code.

Lesson 2: General Cargo, Container and Ro/Ro Vessels
General cargo vessels carry cargoes of finished products, raw material, construction material, chemicals in packaged form, heavy machinery items etc. These vessels fall into two categories – liner and tramp. These terms are associated with the trade rather than the actual vessel type. Their sizes range from 10,000 – 20,000DWT and normally operate at speeds of 15 – 20 knots. They have double bottom tanks that are used for storage of fuel carriage of ballast water.

General Cargo, Container and Ro/Ro Vessels
The hull is divided by transverse bulkheads to form holds, typically four to six. The engine room is located aft of the cargo holds. The holds may be further divided by one or two ‘tween decks with hatchways that will allow cargo to be loaded or unloaded into the compartment. General cargo vessels may have one or two refrigerated holds to carry refrigerated cargo and deep tanks for carrying small parcels of edible oil, or non-hazardous liquid chemicals.

General Cargo, Container and Ro/Ro Vessels
Over the years the equipment fitted to general cargo vessels have changed to facilitate better cargo handling. For example derricks and hatch covers have changed to cranes and more sophiscated hatch covers.
The concept of unitization i.e. pre-slung cargo and palletisation has reduced break-bulk handling, reduced handling time and improved stowage, security and safety of the cargo.

General Cargo, Container and Ro/Ro Vessels
Containerization is one of the units of modal and multimodal transportation in door-to-door or floor-to-floor service. The first container ship was a converted tanker the S/S “Maxton”which carried 58 containers in April 1956. But it was not until 1966 that the first container service crossed the Atlantic ocean.

General Cargo, Container and Ro/Ro Vessels
Container vessels are classified as first generation – those carrying less than 1000 TEUs and second generation – those carrying more than 1000 TEUs while fourth generation have capacities of 4,000 to 5,000TEUs. These ships have speeds of 18 to 25 knots. They may have their own cargo handling equipment or may be gearless.

Lumber carrier: The constructional features are similar to the bulk carriers of small size with double bottom tanks and top side tanks. They have their own cargo handling equipment. The loading of logs, lumber or timber is inside the holds as well as on deck. Special regulations are to be followed for ensuring that the ship’s stability is intact. Chips carriers carry wood chips in their holds. Because of the high stowage factor of wood chips, the vessels have large depth and small draft.
