Trinity Arrow is the newest LNG Carrier with membrane type built by the famous shipbuilder Imabari. The vessel has a cargo capacity of 154,900 cubic meters The vessel was built into the ship-yard of Koyo Dockyard and the owner of the beautiful LNG Carrier is Trinity Transport S.A. Trinity Arrow has a deadweight of 79,556 metric tons and gross tonnage of 108,010 metric tons. The overall length of the vessel is 289.93 meters and the length between perpendiculars is 276 meters. The other measurements of the vessel Trinity Arrow are beam of 44.70 meters, draught of 26.00 meters and draft, while fully loaded of 12.07 meters. On board of this LNG Carrier is installed main engine KAWASAKI UA400, which is giving to the vessel full power of 29,420 kW. This power is enough for the ship to reach the maximum cruising speed of 20.15 knots. But maximum speed of the ship is nearly 1 knot more, or 21.20 knots. But on board of the vessel there are many systems, because the cargo of such ships is very hard for transportation.
The Trinity Arrow is the first LNG carrier in a series of four to adopt GTT’s M-III Membrane system. The ship is developed to be easier for maneuvering and to be proper for many ports and LNG Trinity Arrow LNGterminals of the world. And this is easy for understanding, because so large ship with so dangerous cargo will not be welcome in each port. That is why from Imabari had developed the safety system of the vessel. And now we see Trinity Arrow with perfectly and almost 90% sure system for loading and discharging of very dangerous and explosive cargo. The more rational hull construction and equipment comply with the Lloyd’s Register’s (LR) Rules and Regulations and effective notations such as ShipRight (SDA, FDA plus, CM), to ensure safe operation and navigation. For the FDA, the vessel employed LR design appraisal document of 40 year lifetime which is confirmed by LR’s 3-D FEM analysis based on the intended service routes including North Atlantic, Middle East to Mediterranean and Europe, Middle East to North America, and Middle East to Asia, etc.The all hull and shape are designed with double hull construction with double bottom, double side shells, and trunk deck forming an octagonal section. The bulkhead of each tank is provided with a cofferdam and space heated by circulating glycol water to keep the temperature above +5 degrees C due to the physical properties of the steel in accordance with the requirements of the IGC code.
