Nice and informative write up.

Does BW policy permit uploading of ship specific data and photographs on a public forum ?

No confidential or sensitive information has been posted. Most of this information is freely available on the websites of the manufacturers of various equipments etc. Besides this is a very common design of ship.

For all those who requested photos of engines.

This is a 6S60MCE-C engine with 13500kw power.
We have a 6m propeller coupled to it

The ship has one MAN B&W 6S50ME-B9.3 engine which produces a power of 7660 KW (10414 BHP) @ 99 RPM. Yes it's a slow speed engine. There is no gearbox. The crank is connected to the shaft and the propeller.

The maximum speed is 14.5 Knots (26.854 Kmph). We usually maintain an average of 13 Knots (24.076 Kmph). At this speed our fuel consumption is around 19 Metric Tons per day. That works 577.824 Km for 19222 Litres or 0.03 Kmpl. And yes that is fuel efficient. Hope my calculations are correct. Mathematicians please check.

What does the fuel consumption work out in terms of grammes/ kw/ hour? Thanks in advance for the data.

Will need to check and revert on that.

BW Birch is a Gas Tanker right?

Ours is a MAN B&W 6S50ME-B9.3.

And I completely forgot about posting the photos of the engine room. Will be doing that too shortly.

The above pic is of my ship in Houston terminal.[/quote]

Looks like the Chemical berth beside the Houston Oil Tanking Terminal... Correct?
