ABSTRACT

As of January 1, 2020, the International Maritime

Organization requires all vessels to emit no more than Length: 100.00 [m]
0.5% mass / mass of sulfur into the atmosphere. Beam: 16.50 [m]
However, the country currently does not produce Deep: 8.66 [m]
fuels of this characteristic, so it is forced to import it Draught: 6.27 [m]
from neighboring countries. That is why the design of Velocity: 12.00 [knots]
a ship that is profitable, feasible and autonomous for Power: 3475.00 [HP]
this type of operations is proposed.

For this, the sponsoring company CORPETROLSA SA

plans to import low-sulfur fuel to maintain and expand
the client portfolio, so it is necessary to preliminary
design a 5000 DWT tanker with multiple
segregations, where these products will be stored in
the reservoirs belonging to the company located in the
dock of the same company and the commercialization
of the ferry service, which allows the supply of the
fleet of international ships that enter the country's
ports. Figure 1.- Corpetrolsa Oil Tanker Vessel

Among other important results achieved in this project

was the cargo capacity to transport in the tanks
Design requirements shown in the table, with the 3 segregations
implemented in the ship as shown in the figure 2.
1. Establish the main dimensions of the vessel that
allows entry to the company dock for the unloading of
the product. Cargo tanks m3

2. Store a minimum load capacity of 5000 tons in the CT 1 P–S 689,11

vessel's tanks.
CT 2 P-S 1204,24
3. Approximate the maximum service speed at full
load of 12 knots. CT 3 P-S 1701,26
4. Have 3 segregations distributed in the cargo tanks
of the ship. CT 4 P-S 1702,31

5. Use corrugated bulkheads in cargo tanks for easier CT 5 P-S 1065,82

cleaning of these.
TOTAL 6362,74
6. Maintain on the main deck the structural elements
located in the loading area to store more product in
the tanks. Table 1.- Capacities of B / T CORPETROLSA cargo tanks

In addition, the ballast capacity that this tanker will
have is 2048.46 m3, and finally the deck structures in TIR 25,96%
the loading area were implemented in the design, VAN $18.791.263,61
such as the use of the corrugated bulkheads shown in
Figure 3. And for the second scenario with the use of American
equipment we have:

In addition, an economic analysis was performed to

see the profitability of this tanker over a period of 10

years, estimating the costs of operating preventive TIR 21,29%
maintenance of the vessel, as well as including the
cost of design and construction for this analysis, VAN $18.959.570,21
where they were implemented 2 scenarios under the
implementation of the net present value and the Concluding that the first scenario presents a higher
internal rate of return profitability to the second, but in both scenarios the
tanker allows to earn money. In addition, the
The first scenario is with the use of Chinese preliminary design was carried out in compliance with
equipment we have: all the requirements established by the sponsoring
company CORPETROLSA S.A and under all
international standards that allow safe navigation, in
this case it will have an autonomy of 15 days of
crossing.
