ZAGREB, Dec 7 (Hina) - Great Britain's royal ship building
institute has awarded the Trogir ship yard a certificate in
recognition for building the most outstanding ship on the
international ship building market in 1998.
The ship under the name of "Azov Sea" was built in the "Brodotrogir"
ship yard in the central Adriatic town of Trogir. The ship was built
for Liberia's "Valloy Shipping Company ltd" and delivered in March
this year, with its main function being the transportation of oil
and chemicals.
Recognition from the acclaimed British Institute for the best built
ship is an indirect recognition of the Croatian ship building
industry as being the best in the world in 1998.
"Azov Sea" is one of a series of nine identical ships built in three
Croatian ship yards - "Uljanik" in Pula, "Brodosplit" in Split and
"Brodotrogir" in Trogir.
Each ship yard built three tankers for the Liberian purchaser,
announced the managing director of "Brodotrogir" d.d. Josko Buble,
and head project engineer Nenad Fles at a press conference held in
Trogir on occasion of receiving the reward.
Due to regulations of the Royal Institute that only one ship from
each series may enter the competition, Brodotrogir entered the
"Azov Sea" tanker representing the whole series.
The tankers are 182 metres long, 32 metres wide and have a capacity
of 47,400 tonnes. Their 8,300 kW engines were built in Split's
"Brodosplit" ship yard.
The tankers satisfy the purchaser's demands that the ships have as
great a transport potential as possible with as smallest dimensions
and fuel consumption as possible.
Each tanker displays exceptional stability and environmental
friendliness, with the price of each tanker standing at
US$32,750,000, meaning that the whole project cost more than US$300
million.
