»Foran« has been the CAD/CAM software selected for the entire design[ds_preview] of the vessel »Spring Aeolian«, an 83,000 dwt bulkcarrier considered the largest deadweight and cargo hold capacity Panamax bulkcarrier in the world. The vessel, already launched, has been designed and built in Sanoyas Shipyard, a subsidiary company from Sanoyas Hishino Meisho Corporation in Japan.
The vessel – 229 m long, 32 m wide and 20 m deep – features some improvements: propulsion train combining low speed and long stroke main engine with a high-efficiency propeller and the Sanoyas-Tandem-Fin, fitted in the shell ahead of the propeller; extra-widened cargo hatches, for easy operation during the cargo handling; high capacity fresh water generator and dedicated tanks for hold washing and disposal, and a special fuel heating system that prevents the heat to damage the cargo in the holds and saves energy.
There are also segregated tanks for accommodation discharges, dirty hold bilge and others, double-hull structure fuel tanks, and independent bilge segregation system for the engine room.
