TANKER
Aframax Oil Tanker generally refers to an oil tanker with a loading capacity of 100K to 120K DWT and a carrying capacity
of 700,000 to 900,000 barrels of crude oil. The 105K, 108K, 113K and 114K DWT Aframax COT/POT designed and built by
SWS, which enjoyed the honor of “China Name Brand” and won the trust and favor of many customers in the industry due
to its excellent performance, good carrying capacity, as well as high efficiency and convenient after-sales service system.
SWS has complete and full-chain research, design and construction capabilities, independent hydrodynamic design,
structural design and finite element calculation capabilities, as well as rich experience in electromechanical system
design and supporting. Since the first Aframax order in 2003, the company has successfully delivered 52 Aframax oil
tankers, accounting for about 4.5% of the global fleet.
SWS adheres to the design concept of green, energy saving, safety and reliability. After five generations of research and
development and iteration, the new products can meet the latest international regulations and technical requirements of
relevant industry associations and oil companies. It has a large competitive advantage in key indicators such as
lightweight, specific fuel consumption and energy efficiency design index (EEDI).
At the same time, SWS has also carried out the research on the Ice enhanced Aframax, and formed the Ice class IA and
Polar PC4 design schemes with the study of the Finnish and Swedish ice class specifications and the IMO Polar Code. With
the linear design taken into account the performance both under open water and ice conditions, which passed the ice
model test, the project scheme has successfully formed the technical reserve of the ice enhanced Aframax scheme and
received the order at 2015. The vessel’s performance is excellent, energy saving, environmental-friendly and economical,
which have reached the international advanced level.

\"SEASCOUT\"
SWS independently developed and designed 114K DWT Aframax tanker has an overall length of 249.95 meters, a moulded
beam of 44 meters, a moulded depth of 21.2 meters, a designed draft of 13.5 meters, and a designed speed of 14.5 knots.
The cargo oil tanks can carry approximately 850,000 barrels of crude or product oil. This type of ship has significantly
improved its energy efficiency level through a comprehensive optimization of hydrodynamic performance, the configuration of hydrodynamic energy-saving ducts and vortex fins, and the optimization of the main engine selection. The EEDI
index, verified by actual ships, has met the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for the third phase
which shall be in effect in 2025. At the same time, nitrogen oxide emissions meet Tier III standards, and sulfur oxide
emissions meet the 0.1% requirement, making it highly favored by customers. It is a green ship that is environmentally
friendly, energy-saving, safe, and economical.

The VLCC generally refers to a crude oil tanker with a load of 200K-320K tons and a loading capacity of 1.3-2 million barrels of
crude oil. This type of tanker is widely used to transport large quantities of oil from the Gulf, West Africa, the North Sea and
Prudhoe Bay to North America, Europe, and East Asia.
SWS designed and built the world's first 316K DWT VLCC, “Huashan” that fully meets the “Common Structural Rules” of the
International Association of Classification Societies. By Oct. 2024, the number of SWS delivered 300K VLCCs add up to 7.16% of
the global VLCC fleets.
2.VERY LARGE CRUDE CARRIER (VLCC)
At the same time, SWS has studied the scheme of using type A independent tank and arranging it inside the cargo area. Based
on the hull line optimization and the shear force and bend moment under analysis, set one type A independent ammonia fuel
tank on the front of No.5 cargo tank with a capacity of 6,200 cubic meters. The endurance of the ship can reach 15,000 nautical
miles in gas mode. Through the comprehensive optimization and improvement of the propulsion performance of the propulsion system, combined with the use of ammonia fuel, the energy efficiency design index of the ship is reduced by more than
40 % compared with the baseline.
