TI-class supertanker
The TI Class of supertankers are currently the four largest ships in the world (by displacement,
deadweight tonnage cargo mass, and gross tonnage, a formula value based on internal volume,
not mass). The class comprises the ships TI Africa, TI Asia, TI Europe and TI Oceania, where the
"TI" refers to the VLCC Tanker Pool operator Tankers International L.L.C. The class were the
first ULCCs (ultra-large crude carriers) to be built in 25 years.[2]
Compared to the TI Class, the Maersk Triple E class container ships are longer and have a higher
cargo volume, including above deck containers. The previous largest ship, the supertanker
Seawise Giant, was scrapped in 2010.
All four oil tankers were constructed for shipping company Hellespont by Daewoo Shipbuilding
& Marine Engineering in Okpo, South Korea in 2002/3. The class was originally named
Hellespont Alhambra, Hellespont Fairfax, Hellespont Metropolis and Hellespont Tara. In 2004
the class was jointly purchased.

Euronav NV, a Belgian shipowner, purchased Hellespont Fairfax and Hellespont Tara, renaming
them TI Oceania and TI Europe respectively flagged for Belgium.[3] Overseas Shipholding Group
(OSG) purchased Hellespont Alhambra and Hellespont Metropolis and renamed them TI Asia
and TI Africa respectively flagged Belgium.[4]
Hellespont Fairfax was the subject of The Discovery Channel's television show Superships,
episode "Launching a LeviathanHellespont Fairfax".
Conversion

In 2009 and 2010, TI Asia and TI Africa met the same fate as the former Knock Nevis and were
converted into sophisticated Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessels.[5] The
extensive conversions were carried out by Euronav and OSG at Dubai Dockyards. The FSO Asia
and FSO Africa were placed in the Al Shaheen oilfield offshore Qatar in January and August
2010 respectively.

Features
The class possesses a relatively high service speed (16.5 knots laden, 17.5 knots in ballast),
which increases their earning capacity. The steel scantlings are greater than the class minimum.
These ships are wider than the new Panama Canal locks and will be unable to pass through when
the new locks open. They also cannot travel through the Suez Canal unless on a ballast voyage.
The coatings in the ballast tanks are protected by two features, a full-time double-scrubbing
system supplying drier inert gas to the ballast tanks, and also by the white painted upper hull
reflecting the suns energy. The inert gas system also increases safety. Keeping down the cargo
temperatures also minimizes hydrocarbon emissions.[2]

Everyone associated with the intricacies of the marine oil cargo sector knows the
importance of Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC). Since their inception, these crude

carriers, also the largest tankers have helped the industry to solve several problems
related to oil cargo transport through water ways.
Keeping in the largeness aspect of the ULCCs, there are four super tankers that are
prominent in the maritime sector and which are known as the fantastic four
amongst their crude oil tanker peers. Known as the TI Class Supertankers, the four
super tankers are the TI Oceania, TI Europe, TI Asia and TI Africa.

Ti stands for the crude oil tanker consortium dealer Tanker International L.L.C. while Oceania,
Europe, Asia and Africa are the names for the vessels which were originally named Fairfax, Tara,
Alhambra and Metropolis respectively at the time of their construction. These four tanker ships
were built for the Greek shipping corporation Hellespont. Later on, they were taken over by the
OSG Group (Fairfax and Tara leading to their renaming) and the Euronav NV (Alhambra and
Metropolis leading to their renaming). Hellespont, at the latest, has 26 vessels currently operating
while a couple more waiting in an order pipeline.
The four largest tankers were built by the South Korean ship builder Daewoo Shipbuilding and
Marine Engineering. One of the most important reasons why these four ULCC are well-known
across the marine world is because of the extent of their productive life. Each of the four ultra
large crude carriers can be put into active use for 25 years which makes them a much-sought
after tanker ship to carry bulk amounts of oil across the ocean.
Some of the other salient features of the super tankers can be enumerated as follows:

The fantastic four are dual-hulled ships, which offers a safer and better
method of oil ferrying without causing major environmental problems in case
of any accident

The speed offered by each of the four super tankers is quite high 16.5 knots
which ensures a faster carrying of the required cargo in the form of oil

The topmost part of the hull of the double hulled tankers is designed to
reflect back sunlight. Along with this, the ballast tanks of the supertanker are
supplied with inert gases which ensures that no complications arise out of
inadvertent leakage of gases

Detailed below is a detailed summary of each supertanker:

TI Oceania: Ordered to be built in the year 2001, the super tanker was
officially launched in the year 2002 and has since been plying its utility quite
successfully. In terms of dimensions, the ship measures 380 metres
lengthwise, 68 metres breadth wise, 34 metres depth wise and 24.5 metres
draught wise. It has a dead weight tonnage of around 4, 00,000 tonnes and
its cargo hauling capacity is over three million barrels of oil. Once flagged to
Greece and Belgium, the TI Oceania is currently under the flagging of
Marshall Islands.

TI Europe: With a speed of 16.5 knots, the ULCC TI Europe was ordered to be
built in the year 2001 and launched in the next. The gross tonnage of the ship
2, 34,006 tons allows the tanker ship to carry a cargo hauling of over five
million litres of crude oil. In terms of dimensions, the TI Europe has a similar
layout as her sister tankers. TI Europe is currently under the Marshall Islands
flag.

TI Asia: The earliest supertanker out of her other sister fleet, the TI Asia was
officially launched in June 2001 after being ordered in the month of January,
the previous year. In the year 2010, after almost a decade of crude cargo
hauling, the TI Asia was converted to be utilised as a Floating, Storage and
Offloading (FSO) vessel.

TI Africa: The second-oldest among the quartet of the ultra large crude
carrier, the TI Africa was launched in September 2001 after being ordered in
the month of January, the previous year. Like TI Asia, its sister ship purchased
by the OSG Group, the TI Africa was converted from a supertanker to a FSO
vessel in the year 2010.

TI Class Supertanker Oceania adalah salah satu kapal yang paling menarik yang pernah
dibangun dengan kemampuan mengangkut minyak mentahnya. TI Oseania adalah kapal tanker
minyak besar yang masih beroperasi bahkan setelah rutinitas perjalanan yang sulit selama 9
tahun. Kapal TI Oseania merupakan bagian dari empat kapal yang terdiri dari armada TI kelas
supertanker yaitu: TI Afrika, TI Asia, Eropa dan TI Oseania. TI adalah singkatan untuk ULCC
Tanker Renang Operator Tankers LLC Internasional.
Tonase bobot mati TI Oseania adalah sekitar 440.000 ton dengan kecepatan antara 16 sampai 18
knot. Kapal TI Oceanis merupakan masterpiece yang sangat sarat dengan teknologi untuk semua
rintangan yang mungkin terjadi selama perjalanan. Jika Anda melihat TI Oseania dari langit atau
dari jarak jauh, hal pertama yang terlintas dalam pikiran adalah sebuah es raksasa yang
mengambang di atas air. Panjang TI Oseania adalah 1.246 kaki atau 379 meter.

TI class supertanker explained

The TI Class of ships are the four largest double-hulled supertankers in the world and are, as of
2010, the largest ocean going ships, since the previous largest one, the single hulled supertanker
Seawise Giant, was scrapped in 2010. The class comprises the ships TI Africa, TI Asia, TI
Europe and TI Oceania, where the "TI" refers to the VLCC Tanker Pool operator Tankers
International L.L.C. The class were the first ULCCs (Ultra-large crude carriers) to be built for 25
years.

History
All four oil tankers were constructed for shipping company Hellespont by Daewoo Shipbuilding
& Marine Engineering in Okpo, South Korea in 2002/3. The class was originally named the
Hellespont Alhambra, Hellespont Fairfax, Hellespont Metropolis and Hellespont Tara. In 2004
the class was jointly purchased. Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) purchased Hellespont
Fairfax and Hellespont Tara, renaming them TI Oceania and TI Africa respectively flagged for
the Marshall Islands. Euronav NV, a Belgian shipowner, purchased Hellespont Alhambra and
Hellespont Metropolis and renamed them TI Asia and TI Europe respectively flagged Belgium.[1]
The class possess a relatively high service speed (16.5 knots laden, 17.5 knots in ballast), which
increases their earning capacity. The steel scantlings are greater than the class minimum.
The ship is shorter than the old Panama Canal locks, but 10 metres wider than the new canal
locks, so will be too large to pass through when the new locks open.
The coatings in the ballast tanks are protected by two features, a full time double-scrubbing
system supplying drier inert gas to the ballast tanks, and also by the white painted upper hull
reflecting the suns energy. The inert gas system also increases safety. Keeping down the cargo
temperatures also minimizes hydrocarbon emissions.[2]

Hellespont Fairfax was the subject of an episode of The Discovery Channel's television show
Superships, episode "Launching a LeviathanHellespont Fairfax".[3]

Conversion
In 2010, TI Asia and TI Africa met the same fate as the former Knock Nevis and were converted
into FSO oil storage vessels.[4] The extensive conversions were carried out for Euronav OSG by
Dubai Dockyards. The units were to be placed in the Al Shaheen oilfield near Qatar in late 2009.
