Merchant Vessel Seri Bakti
Seri Bakti is the largest LNG carrier built with membrane type. The vessel is produced in the Nagasaki Shipyard and Machinery Works by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd, which is one of the largest and best companies for ship-building. The cargo tank capacity of the vessel is 152,944 cubic meters and this makes the vessel pretty large and profitable for the ship-owner. The vessel is the largest one built from the series of five membrane LNG carriers, ordered from the largest shipping company of Malaysia - MISC. The agreement as signed in 2004 and this year on water was out the first and largest vessel - Seri Bakti. The vessel has an overall length of 289.80 meters and length between perpendiculars is 276.80 meters. Seri Bakti has a beam of 46.50 meters, depth of 25.80 meters in the middle and draft in the middle of 11.25 meters, while the vessel is fully loaded. The gross tonnage of the vessel is 105,335 metric tons. And so large measurements vessel with so heavy and strong equippment needs of large engine, which should give enough power to the all propulsion system. The main engine of the Seri Bakti LNG carrier is Mitsubishi Marine Steam Turbine MS36-2A, with full power of 24,500kW. This heavy and strong engine can move the vessel with cruising speed of 19 Seri Bakhi portknots. The maximum allowed speed of the LNG carrier is 19.8 knots.
The vessel has new and innovated form and design. The hull form is newly designed and together with the whole propulsion system, achieves higher efficiency and decrease fuel consumption of the main engine. y designed hull form, together with the propulsion system, achieves higher efficiency and fuel saving. The fuel oil tanks are situated and constructed in double hull form, which saves space and reduces the risk of polution to minimum. The vessel can opperate in not so many ports but the profitability for even one voyage of Seri Bakti is pretty enough for the ship-owner.Seri Bakti is vessel which is designed to be profitable and easy for use. The bridge is constructed with 360 degrees visibility. The GPS and dGPS systems are calculating ship's possition accurate and electronic chart is solving all the problems about ships maneuvering. All newest and most modern equippment in situated on board of Seri Bakti and this makes the vessel very interesting in engineer point of view. This is one of the pearls in malaysian ship-owner MISC.
