685M3 OIL-CHEMICAL TANKER

This ship design was developed to transport petrochemicals, methanol, and other chemical products, as well as diesel, gasoline, and other petroleum products, with a gross tonnage under 500GRT.

The ship was designed to handle cargo with flash points below 60 degrees and hazardous chemical products.

Accommodation areas were further improved compared to similarly sized ships, and six independent crew cabins were added, each with an independent wet unit.

Common living areas included a mess room, independent galley, changing room, and laundry.

The navigation bridge was designed with improved visibility. The cargo control room function was also positioned on the navigation bridge.

The bridge area, which is larger than similarly sized ships, was also planned to be used as a ship office.

The ship was designed with a high forecastle, poop deck, and a catwalk on the main deck to withstand challenging open sea conditions with rough waves.

Fuel efficiency was also increased by using a single engine. The difficulty of docking maneuvers caused by using only one engine was improved by adding a stern thruster in addition to the bow thruster.
