THE COMPUTERIZED SUPER AUTOMATION SYSTEM OF THE TURBINE DRIVEN TANKER "TOTTORI MARU" AND ITS OPERATION

Nagasaki Shipyard & Engine Works completed a turbine tanker, the TOTTORI MARU, on September 5, 1972. Her deadweight is 237 383 tons, the sixth tanker in the 237 type standard series. As a turbine tanker, she is the first in Japan to be provided with a total control system (super automation system) by means of a computer. This tanker is currently engaged in crude oil transport between Japan and the Persian Gulf. The super automation system is working in good condition. Although the tanker is still in her early days, the data days, the data obtained are sufficiently contributable, as stable results. The summary of the super automation system and its operational results are presented in this paper.
