contains the bunker tanks, significantly reduces the risk of damage<br />
to the cargo and bunker tanks and thus also the risk of a cargo<br />
outflow similar to the one which occurred with the “Prestige”.<br />
A redundant propulsion system with two completely separate<br />
shaft and steering gear systems ensures full manoeuvrability of<br />
the ship should one of the systems fail.<br />
MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> was able to bring its sister company MAN B&W<br />
Diesel into the partnership as a supplier of the complete propulsion<br />
systems. These include the 6L27/38 four-stroke main engine, gears<br />
and shafting.<br />
Two boiler units similarly ensure sufficient heat output, which<br />
can be individually regulated for the different tanks, depending<br />
on the load. SCOT 8000 tankers also benefit from 16 coated cargo<br />
tanks and two deck tanks with a total capacity of 9,000 cubic<br />
metres. A fully segregated piping system allows up to 16 different<br />

goods to be loaded simultaneously. The tank specifications enable<br />
the transportation of more than 500 different goods, as well as<br />
flexible use of the tankers across all markets.<br />
Thanks to their safety and flexible loading systems, the chemical<br />
tankers are in great demand as charter ships for major shipping<br />
companies like Esso, BP, Shell and BASF. Due to their compact size<br />
(small, handysize tankers), they can access even the smallest ports<br />
all over the globe.
