দ্য হোয়াইট এলিফ্যান্ট (The White Elephant) ইতিহাসের বৃহত্তম ডাবল-হাল (double-hull) ট্যাংকার হিসেবে পরিচিত। ডাবল-হাল বলতে জাহাজের বাইরের কাঠামোর দুটি স্তর বোঝানো হয়, যা তেলের ট্যাংক এবং বাইরের সমুদ্রের মধ্যে একটি সুরক্ষামূলক লেয়ার তৈরি করে। এটি দুর্ঘটনার সময় তেল ছড়িয়ে পড়ার ঝুঁকি কমায়

এটি ২০০২ সালে দক্ষিণ কোরিয়ার Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering দ্বারা নির্মিত হয়। মূলত Hellespont Alhambra নামে পরিচিত এই জাহাজটি ৪৪২,৪৭০ ডেডওয়েট টন ধারণক্ষমতা এবং ৫১৩,৬৮৪ কিউবিক মিটার (প্রায় ৫১৩.৬ মিলিয়ন লিটার) কার্গো ক্যাপাসিটি নিয়ে তৈরি হয়। এটি গ্রিক কোম্পানি Hellespont Shipping-এর চারটি ULCC (Ultra-Large Crude Carrier) জাহাজের একটি এবং প্রায় ৩০ বছর পর ULCC নির্মাণে নতুন দিগন্তের সূচনা করে। এই জাহাজের সাদা রঙের প্রশস্ত হাল (hull) এর জন্য এটি "হোয়াইট এলিফ্যান্ট" নামে পরিচিত।

এই জাহাজের দৈর্ঘ্য ১,২৪৭ ফুট, প্রস্থ ২২৩ ফুট এবং গভীরতা ১১১ ফুট। এটি চালানোর জন্য সাধারণত ২৫-৩০ জন ক্রু প্রয়োজন। এর প্রধান ইঞ্জিন Wärtsilä Sulzer 9RTA84T-D, যা ৩৬,৯০০ কিলোওয়াট শক্তি প্রদান করে এবং ১৬.৫ নট গতিতে চলতে সক্ষম। সুরক্ষা বৃদ্ধির জন্য এতে ডাবল-স্ক্রাবড ইনার্ট গ্যাস, Vent 2D সিস্টেম, এবং ব্রিজ উইংয়ের পরিবর্তে ক্লোজড-সার্কিট ক্যামেরা সিস্টেম ব্যবহার করা হয়।

ব্রিজ উইং সাধারণত জাহাজের উভয় পাশে অবস্থিত একটি উন্মুক্ত এলাকা, যা নাবিকদের জাহাজ পরিচালনা এবং দৃশ্য পর্যবেক্ষণে সহায়তা করে। তবে, উন্মুক্ত হওয়ার কারণে এটি বেশি রক্ষণাবেক্ষণ প্রয়োজন এবং ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ হতে পারে। ক্লোজড-সার্কিট ক্যামেরা সিস্টেম এই ব্রিজ উইংকে প্রতিস্থাপন করে, যা ক্যামেরার মাধ্যমে পুরো এলাকা পর্যবেক্ষণ করার সুযোগ দেয়। এটি রক্ষণাবেক্ষণের খরচ কমায় এবং নিরাপত্তা বাড়ায়।

২০০৯ সালে, এটি একটি Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) ইউনিটে রূপান্তরিত হয়ে FSO Asia নামে পরিচিত হয়। FSO-তে রূপান্তরিত হওয়ার পর জাহাজটি আর সরাসরি তেল পরিবহন করে না। এটি এখন একটি ভাসমান স্টোরেজ ইউনিট হিসেবে কাজ করে, যেখানে তেল সঞ্চয় করা হয় এবং অন্যান্য ট্যাংকারে স্থানান্তর করা হয়। ফলে এটি স্থির থাকে এবং পরিবহন কাজের পরিবর্তে কেবল সংরক্ষণ ও অফলোডিংয়ের কাজ করে। বর্তমানে পারস্য উপসাগরে অপরিশোধিত তেল সংরক্ষণ ও অফলোডিং সেবা প্রদান করছে।

In 1970, the Esso Hibernia oil tanker was under construction at the Wallsend shipyard in the UK, symbolizing the height of industrial ambition and engineering prowess of the time. As one of the largest oil tankers ever built, the project highlighted the growing demand for massive vessels capable of transporting crude oil across vast distances. The ship’s construction required the efforts of thousands of skilled workers who carefully assembled massive steel plates and components, demonstrating the scale and complexity of shipbuilding in the mid-20th century.

Wallsend shipyard, with its deep-rooted history in shipbuilding, was central to the construction of the Esso Hibernia. This site, known for its maritime significance, had seen numerous large-scale shipbuilding projects, and the Hibernia was one of the most ambitious. The photograph of the tanker being assembled captures the impressive scale of the project, with towering cranes and scaffolding surrounding the massive hull. It speaks not only to the engineering and technological advances of the time but also to the dedication of the workers who made this monumental vessel a reality.

The Esso Hibernia marked a critical moment in the oil industry, arriving at a time when global reliance on petroleum was growing. As the world entered the 1970s, the shipping industry was evolving to meet the increasing demands of industrialization, and tankers like the Hibernia played a vital role in global trade. Its construction was a reminder of the key role maritime transport played in fueling the global economy and underscored the ongoing changes in shipping technology and energy production. This period in shipbuilding history remains significant, illustrating the balance between technological progress and the environmental challenges the industry continues to face today.

Containership Dali Successfully Moved to Baltimore Berth

The refloating operation and removal of the Dali from the wreck site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was completed this morning, May 20, with an approximately three-hour tow of the vessel. The containership with sections of the roadway and other debris still on its bow was seen coming alongside at the Seagirt Terminal at around 0900 this morning.

The Unified Command and US Army Corps of Engineers both reported that the ship regained buoyancy at around 0640. That was roughly one hour and twenty minutes as the projected high tide in Patapsco River. Reporters from the Associated Press watching the effort said the vessel appeared to start moving around 0600 with several stops and starts.

The towing operation which had tugs attached at bow and stern began around 0700. Five tugs were positioned with one on the bow and another on the stern as well as several alongside and used to push the vessel into the berth. The operation was expected to travel the approximately 2.5 miles to the Seagirt Marine Terminal at a speed of roughly .8 knots (1 mph).

To prepare for the refloating operation, they reversed the earlier loading of ballast onto the ship which had been used to ensure it did not shift while the debris was being removed, and the controlled demolition a week ago of sections of the bridge that were leaning against the bow and over the deck of the ship. Up to 1.25 million gallons of ballast water were taken onto the ship to ensure it did not shift during those earlier operations which were expected to be pumped off starting midday Sunday in a total operation that was expected to last up to 21 hours.

The ship is expected to remain at Seagirt for up to four to six weeks for additional inspections. Efforts will continue to remove sections of the roadway and bridge debris from the bow of the vessel and some of the laden containers will likely be removed.

With the removal of the 158-foot-wide Dali, they are working to restore the 400-foot wide channel as they work toward the reopening of the full 700-foot, 50-foot deep channel by the end of the month. Salvage crews, using crane and barges, immediately returned to the site, and will work to remove any remaining bridge wreckage. Port officials noted that they are working up to 10 to 15 below the soft bottom into the mud to make sure all debris is removed. They expect that the channel will continue to be limited to one-way traffic at this time but are working with operators to increase the flow of shipping traffic in the port. The Maryland Transportation Authority will continue to oversee the removal of the remaining steel and concrete outside the federal channel, while the U.S. Coast Guard will make the final determinations along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the federal channel.
