Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application.

Hereby we would like to thank her greatly for her effort and commitment during setting up of the “Digital Crommelin Journal”. For the release of this issue Michiel Crommelin has taken on this role, but obviously this will not be permanently. That’s why we, as board of the Crommelin Foundation, are looking for someone who will take up this challenge. Also journalistic or linguistic enthusiasts are more than welcome: who would like to interview family members, write reviews of family matters or translate incoming articles? We would like to hear from you! Warm regards!
