266,500 DWT Ice-classed 1A crude oil tanker designed for the Baltic Sea Maximum safety offers economy of scale The B-MAX, based on the proven Stena MAX concept, combines unique ice-classed pro-active safety with economy of scale In the Baltic Sea, maximum safety is the only option! The Stena B-MAX optimises the successf The Stena MAX-concept, combining superior economy with superior flexibility, has been a formidable success wherever safety is of prime concern The key words are innovation and performance When merged with the best technology available, innovation ensures safe carriage of oil Performance means reduced transportation costs for our customers Optimised for operation in the Baltic Sea, the Stena B-MAX offers the highest level of safety available on the market and optimum economy of scale Redundance for maximum safety 7x2 Redundance for maximum safety 2 2 2 x x x x x x x steering engines rudders propellers main engines engine rooms navigation systems protection of fuel tanks ul Stena MAX-concept for operation in the Balt 800 700 600 A fr 500 am ax 400 B-MAX Protection all over Stena B-MAX is thoroughly protected against corrosion for extended fatigue life The ballast, cargo, fuel oil and contaminated water have ballast tanks or void space between their boundaries and the hull 300 200 100 -100 -100 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Additional precaution As an extra precaution, the fuel tanks are centrally located, protected by the separate engine rooms For increased safety and thus minimizing the risk of oil spill, the hopper tanks are larger than in a conventional large tanker Unique manoeuvrability Double rudders and double propellers allow the Stena B-MAX to turn faster and tighter than any conventional tanker of half her size The turning circle, as illustrated, is performed at 15 knots with maximal rudder angle The superior manoeuvrability of the Stena B-MAX and its shallow draft permit the vessel to safely transport large quantities of oil in the confined waters of the Baltic Sea tic Sea Doubled pro-active safety All the systems for propulsion and manoeuvring – engines, shafts, generators, steering gear, rudders, propellers and control systems – are doubled and function independently A fireproof and watertight bulkhead separates the engines The Stena B-MAX is certified to DNV RPS (Reduntant Propulsion Separate) Integrated Bridge Control System All navigation functions are doubled and centrally located on the bridge From the conning position, you have a 360° view The Integrated Bridge Control System gives immediate access to relevant data and controls The layout enables co-pilot operation, which increases safety in narrow waters Superior cargo intake on a shallow draft Stena B-MAX can load 205,000 ton on safe Baltic draft of 15.0 metres while a conventional Aframax loads around 100,000 on the same draft Thus, in the Baltic Sea, the Stena B-MAX offers charterers a lower cost per transported barrel Aframax 15 m B-MAX Standard VLCC In the Baltic Sea, maximum safety is the only option As the economies of the Baltic region grow, the shipping lanes are becoming busier The main objective must be sustainable development that safeguards the marine environment against any kind of pollution Maximum safety, based on the best available technology and know-how, is the only key to long-term business in these sensitive arctic waters However, the economic as well as the environmental benefits must be carefully assessed Instead of compromising on safety and economy, we designed the Stena B-MAX Based on the Stena MAX concept – leading in safety, flexibility and economy – the Stena B-MAX is optimised for cargo intake, draft and safe performance in the Baltic Sea The Stena B-MAX offers maximum safety, within the framework of sustainable environmental development, as well as competitive transport economy Economy of scale means safety In the confined waters of the Baltic Sea, large scale is an important safety factor With a draft of merely 15.0 metres, the Stena B-MAX carries a full load of about 205,000 tons of crude oil, which is equivalent to the capacity of two normal Aframax tankers The fewer the vessels in these narrow and crowded waters, the safer the navigation The Stena B-MAX combines high speed with low bunker consumption In line with the objective of sustainable environmental development, its emissions are catalytically cleaned Ice-classed double pro-active safety Ice classed according to DNV 1A, offering doubled pro-active safety features and unique manoeuvrability, the Stena B-MAX is by far the safest available carrier of crude oil in the Baltic Furthermore, for maximum safety the Stena B-MAX is during the cold, frozen seasons manned by a well-trained crew with first-hand experience of arctic conditions Stena Bulk is a member of the family-owned Stena group in Gothenburg, Sweden With our roots far up in North, we are familiar with the harsh arctic marine environments Primorsk Gothenburg Copenhagen Oil should always travel first class!
