"FERNMANOR"was built by "KAWASAKI DOCKYARD CO., LTD."Kobe, for the order of Messers "FERNLEY & EGER, "OSLO, NORWAY. She was the largest export oil tanker built in Japan since the end of the World War II. The followings are the summary of building procedure of the ship. Contract signed on Feb. 17,1949 Laying of keel on Apr. 8,1949 Frame erection on Aug. 19,1949 Launching on Dec. 19,1949 Delivery on Jun. 17,1950 The most noteworthy points of "FERNMANOR"are : In the 1st place, the tank capacity which has sufficient amplitude and being equipped with powerful cargo oil pumps ; for instance, by making the engine room compact to the farthest extent possible, the tank capacity was raised to 26,550 M^3 against the official dead weight, 18,384 K.T. which enables to load different sorts. of oil without much trouble. At the same time 2 units of Worthington cargo oil pumps, each, having a capacity of 500 T/h×70M, give facility to handle the cargo oil speedily. In the 2nd place, the ship has the most excellent living accommodations : as "FERNMANOR"is intended for tramper vessel, she is destined to navigate sea far from her home waters, cruising around all over the world. In consequence, her officers and crew are expected to remain on board for many months on end without viewing even a shadow of their native land, the ship is virtually their own home. To case their living, their quarters are designed to give them an utmost comfort, every officer, and even crew, has his own private room. Besides, there are provided many spacious and comfortable public rooms, that is, Saloon, separate mess-room each for officers, petty officers, stewards, and crew. As for a smoking room, there are provided in addition to the Saloon, separate rooms for officers and crew. Especially in consideration of the fact that this ship, being the 1st large export ship, and liable being criticized by the World wide shipping interest, the designing and appointment of her living quarters were concentrated to make the quarters highly comfortable and livable. In the 3rd place, her solidity of hull against 5877 T steel weight, 866,000 pieces rivets are planted and the welded length runs to 98,100M. However by the request of owner, the steel weight was made to exceed the rule by 150 tons. Besides there exists an undesirable factor as being in excess weight, comparing with the weight of other large type oil tankers built in this country nowadays. Nevertheless, the ship in agreement with the desire of the owner was completed as a 30% welded ship, to which all our past experience and learnings were in corporated. Especially every possible care and precision was given to make the tanks absolutely oil tight the utmost care also was paid to give the superstructure its constructional symmetry and suface beauty of finish. By looking back the building stages, the most important ones can be sequenced as follows, Aquirement of steel-Frame erection-Tank test- (Launching) -Outfitting-Testing of equipments-Sea trials- (Delivery) These stages involved untold number of difficulties, but what was present in our mind at all time was completing the ship worthy of praise as the 1st large epxort ship. Fortunately, we could secure the full satisfaction of the owner, and the ship was delivered officially to him on June 17. We are fully convinced of her that she would not defame the reputation of Japanese ship-building under the strict and unreserved criticism of the world. It is our utmost pleasure that we can report you our success with a pride. Her particulars are as follows : L×B×D 168,000×21,600×12,000M. d 30'×4.4" (9.256M) G.T. 13,233.92T. DW 18,384K.T.
