Forming a large part of Kuwait's KOTC's New Building Projects, Aframax size product carrier Al Dasma has several missions-to be the most efficient, environmentally friendly crude oil tanker in operation. In order to enable the ship to reach its environmental goals, the 249 m × 32 m Al Dasma is fitted with a ballast water treatment system to help minimize the impact on local marine ecosystems. It also includes a Volatile Organic Compounds reduction system (De-VOC) to minimize the generation of VOCS, especially during cargo loading. Its centralized control, alarm and monitoring system (CAMS)-which includes more than 1,800 monitored parameters-gives the ship's officers all of the vital information to operate the vessel. As for energy efficiency, the Al Dasma is powered by a two-stroke, electronically controlled main diesel engine from Wartsila that meets the latest Tier Ⅱ NOx emission standards. The tanker's operating efficiency is aided by a bulbous bow, a high diameter propeller, and a pre-swirl stator that was designed by DSME, and further improves propeller performance and decreases cavitation.
