Mid-Deck Tanker, damage up 3 m. Light gray is oil, dark gray is seawater. A Mid-Deck Tanker is a tanker design, which includes an additional deck intended to limit spills if the tanker is damaged. The extra deck is placed at about the middle of the draft of the ship. [citation needed]
A semi-submersible obtains most of its buoyancy from ballasted, watertight pontoons located below the ocean surface and wave action. Structural columns connect the pontoons and operating deck. [2] The operating deck can be located high above the sea level owing to the good ship stability of the design, and therefore is kept well away from the ...
RMS Oceanic was a transatlantic ocean liner built for the White Star Line.She sailed on her maiden voyage on 6 September 1899 and was the largest ship in the world until 1901. [1]
The Orlop decks and the Tank Top were at the lowest level of the ship, below the waterline. The orlop decks were used as cargo space, while the Tank Top – the inner bottom of the ship's hull – provided the platform on which the ship's boilers, engines, turbines and electrical generators were housed.
The ship was built in 2017 and is flagged in Singapore. [1]In 2023 whilst chartered by Cargill, Pyxis Ocean was retrofitted with two 37.5 m (123 ft) tall 'WindWing' sails, a technology developed by the UK company BAR Technologies, [2] manufactured by Yara Marine Technologies [3] [4] and added at a COSCO shipyard in Shanghai, China.

The orlop decks, and the tank top below that, were on the lowest level of the ship, below the waterline. The orlop decks were used as cargo spaces, while the tank top—the inner bottom of the ship's hull—provided the platform on which the ship's boilers, engines, turbines and electrical generators were housed.
A mid-deck oil tanker is a tanker design which includes an additional deck intended to limit spills if the tanker is damaged. The extra deck is placed at about the middle of the draft of the ship. This design is an alternative to the double-hull tanker design, and is superior in terms of spill volume. Although double-hull design is superior in ...
The twin hulls (blue) remain completely submerged. A small waterplane area twin hull, better known by the acronym SWATH, is a catamaran design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea, where wave energy is located, minimizes a vessel's response to sea state, even ...
