Ocean Pioneer

Ocean Pioneers are automated supertankers. Two have been constructed.

Design
Ocean Pioneer's foredeck has a starboard anchor, a towing cleat, and a small building housing a cargo pumproom and accommodation for additional crew. Atop the building is a trident-shaped primary communications antenna. Built into hull support stanchions is a tank maintenance access gangway. Situated behind the building on the main deck is a maintenance gangway and eight liquid alsterene tanks which extend to below the deck. At the end of the ship is another building; the lower half houses living quarters for crewmen and a captain's cabin, the upper half is a bridge. Behind the building is a helijet landing pad. Underneath the bridge is an atomic reactor and steam turbine power plant. The reactor has a cooling vent.
