  6. Fleet by hull • percentage * Including DB and DS tankers

  7. Tanker deliveries, demolition, phase out • m dwt

  8. TANKER DESIGN • more sophisticated design • common rules for tanker construction • North Sea wave spectrum • higher strength criteria • designed for at least 25 years

  9. Ship Construction- quality of construction- monitoring - scheme for construction survey Suezmax tanker during construction Source: Thenamaris Ship Management

  10. Maintenance • different routines all good but . . • common threads between them • guideliens to set: • the standard procedures • frequency to be applied

  11. INSPECTION • Height to climb 7 miles • Area to survey 3.2m sq. ft • Length of weld 750 miles • Length longitudinals 36 miles • Bottom area 115,000 sq. ft • 1 % pitting = 85,000 pits

  12. the distances and surface which ship surveyors had to cover for inspection are enormous People INSPECTION

  13. ACCESS Horizontal passageways in place of vertical ladders on transverse webs VIEW OF TYPICAL UNDER DECK WALKWAY LOCATED 2 METERS BELOW MAIN DECK COMPRISING OF EXTENDED LONGITUDINAL

  14. VLCC cargo tank walkway Walk way Oversized longitudinals Notice oversized longitudinals as access walkway for inspection and the walk way platforms around the web frames

  15. UNDER DECK LONGITUDINAL BALCONY (WALKWAY) IN CARGO & SIDE BALLAST TANKS ADDITIONAL STRINGERS MINIMIZING HEIGHT AND GIVING EXTRA STRENGTH LONGITUDINAL STINGER ON CL BHD AT 5.8m BELOW DECK FOR TYPICAL SUEZMAX
