Auxiliary and main wind-powed propulsion systems gaining traction worldwide

During a naming ceremony held on the River Thames with guests representing a variety of customers and partners - including vessel builder Sanmar - the 70 tonnes bollard pull Azimuth Tractor Drive (ATD) Svitzer Meridian was officially christened by representatives from multinational electricity and gas utility company National Grid Grain LNG, who are godparenting the vessel.

Meridian, whose name was chosen to reflect Maritime Greenwich’s Prime Meridian longitude line - and Svitzer’s longstanding links with the local area - has been in operation at the Port of London since November 2018.

Vimal Choy, Sanmar's Director, Key Accounts and Client Services Europe pointed out that this was the 21st tug

It is of the tractor concept originally developed for ship-handling due to its exceptional manoeuvrability and improved safety in close quarters operations. We have also given special care and attention to reducing noise levels for improved crew comfort.”

This is the second tractor tug built for Svitzer by Sanmar A.Ş. A well-known Italian operator has signed a contract with Sanmar A.Ş to procure a tug of this same design to strengthen their fleet.

KONGSBERG TAKEOVER TARGETS “STRATEGIC GROWTH” The motivation behind Kongsberg Group's surprise acquisition of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine was “strategic growth” and the opportunity to move closer towards becoming a “complete solutions provider”, the Group's CEO has said.

Speaking about the takeover, Geir Håøy said that adding the Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine product portfolio and expertise to that of Kongsberg Maritime enables the latter to become more of a complete solutions provider.

“We become more of a 'one stop shop' with established expertise across a whole spectrum of systems and solutions. We believe that is a powerful proposition,” he said.

With a turnover of NOK8.9bn in 2017, Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine has operations in 34 countries, while Kongsberg, whose 2017 turnover totalled NOK14.5bn, operates in 25 countries. The purchase means that the Group

SPANISH PARTNERSHIP

GOOD TIMING As the digitalisation of the shipping industry progresses, so does automation, and as assets become more connected, there is a greater demand for system integration, said Mr Håøy.

“Having one supplier providing complete solutions makes perfect sense in that regard - with a more 'joined up' approach delivering enhanced performance, efficiency and data driven intelligence,” he pointed out.

Dismissing concerns that the acquisition comes at a time when the market appears unstable, particularly the offshore segment, Mr Håøy said: “In short, the only way to go is up, and we're already seeing activity escalate on the installed base, if not in newbuildings.”

Nor-Shipping will be the first opportunity for the expanded firm to connect with the industry.

The concept is a new one to both SAL and Davila. It takes the most relevant elements of each company to create a dedicated and client focused service offering in the local market.

Justin Archard, Chief Operating Officer of SAL Heavy Lift, explains; “With Davila Group, we saw the right partner to advance this concept. We have worked with the Davila Group and family for a long time, and the timing and opportunity for this step suited us both. Davila has been a significant part of the Spanish shipping industry for more than 100 years and I have no doubt that we have the best possible partner to help develop the SAL brand in the Spanish market.”

AMBITIOUS ‘RETURN TO COMMERCIAL SAILING’ PLAN GETS BOOST A Belfast-based bid led by America's Cup spin-off Artemis Technologies has received funding for its plans to decarbonise maritime transportation.

The project which was launched in Belfast last October will also return commercial shipbuilding to the city. It is the only bid from Northern Ireland to be selected for the next stage of the UK Research and Innovation's Strength in Places Fund.

It has received early-stage funding to produce a full bid.

Successful projects will be awarded between £10m and £50m.

The consortium behind the bid aims to fast track the prototyping of a new class of vessels and subsystems, including a wind/electric hybrid, named the Autonomous Sailing Vessel (ASV).

The ASV will be a zeroemissions 45m long ocean-going high-performance commercial carbon composite wind/electric catamaran, that will offer unlimited range.

Artemis Technologies is a spinoff from America's Cup team Artemis Racing. The firm's Chief Executive, double Olympic gold medalist Iain Percy OBE, said: “This early-stage funding is a major endorsement of our plans to make Belfast the advanced Dutch subsea specialist Fugro has welcomed the recent announcement of the Offshore Wind Sector Deal in the UK, together with the expected acceleration in the transition to clean growth.

Commercial Sailing', is one of 24 ambitious projects to receive early-stage funding to develop full-stage proposals.

The ASV will be one of a series of commercial maritime products developed by Artemis Technologies in Belfast using the wind and innovative energy recovery systems.

Initial discussions with potential customers have indicated a range of applications, from a city-city passenger ferry, to a defence reconnaissance vessel.

FUGRO WELCOMES SECTOR DEAL developers, at sites in the UK and overseas, to commission their projects on time and within budget, playing a major role in delivering integrated marine datasets to inform critical development decisions.

The commitment to deliver at least 30GW of offshore wind by 2030, announced by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, will further accelerate the development of offshore wind in the UK. It provides Fugro with visibility of a pipeline of projects and will also stimulate worldwide growth in offshore wind. While Fugro has already undertaken contracts at offshore wind developments in parts of the Asia Pacific region and on the east coast of North America, the Sector Deal creates further opportunities for Fugro's UK-based experts to work with their global colleagues to realise the potential growth.

Subsea 7 has finalised the acquisition of multi-purpose offshore construction and dive support vessel Toisa Pegasus to support its operations in the North Sea and Asia Pacific.

Designed and built in the Netherlands by Royal IHC in 2009, the 133m long vessel, to be renamed Seven Pegasus, can perform both heavy and light construction work scopes.

John Evans, chief operating officer said: “This acquisition reinforces our leading diving capabilities and reflects our strategy to actively manage our fleet composition to meet our client's requirements and market conditions.”

The highly capable DP3 vessel features a twin-bell 18-person saturation diving system rated to 300m and installed below deck. The dive system includes two 6-person twin lock saturation and two 3-person saturation chambers. Two 18-person hyperbaric lifeboats are installed - one on port and one on starboard side.

Additionally, its large and flexible 1,200m2 back deck provides further scope for a variety of applications. Stable operations can be carried out due to an interactive roll reduction system and two moonpools positioned about mid-ships to minimise motions.

Seven Pegasus will undergo a docking and crew familiarisation programme before commencing operations in quarter two 2019.

Naval architects Deltamarin has signed a contract with Rauma Marine Constructions Oy (RMC) for the design of a car passenger ferry for Kvarken Link AB, a Finnish-Swedish consortium.

Deltamarin's commission covers basic and detail design services for all hull and machinery areas. The value of the contract with RMC is about €4m. The work will be carried out over a period of 13-14 months at Deltamarin's offices in Finland and Poland with the assistance of network companies.

“In shipbuilding at Rauma, we have a long co-operative relationship with Deltamarin and it is important to continue this spirit of collaboration into the future,” says CEO of RMC Jyrki Heinimaa.

The ferry will accommodate 800 passengers. She is designed to have a low environmental impact, with machinery running on a dual fuel and battery solution.

The main source of fuel is liquefied natural gas (LNG). The vessel will also be able to utilise liquefied biogas (LBG).

The ferry is planned to be delivered in 2021.

PROFILE

DOR RAVIV ORCA AI We now need ‘eyes’ able to spot trouble in the most crowded waters, says Dor Raviv of Orca AI. It started for Raviv at the age of 13, “during the night watch onboard my father's catamaran off the coast of Croatia... I thought I saw something but there were so many confusing lights from the land, a pitch black sky everywhere else and the radar was too full of noise to make sense”.

It was a close shave: soon after waking his father it became apparent a huge commercial ship was bearing down on them “and we needed to take action very, very quickly”.

He's never forgotten “being that petrified” and he knows others don't always escape harm: “There are around 4,000 collisions a year, both major and minor - but they usually don't take place far out at sea, but close to the port or on the approach, in congested waters. It's where the usual navigational aids just aren't that efficient, because you haven't just got one nearby vessel to think about, you can have hundreds to deal with.”

But life had to lead him down a few, apparently discontinuous paths before he was in a position to do much about it. After staying on in the navy to head up a project investigating unmanned patrol vessels he left the maritime

There are around 4,000 collisions a year, both major and minor - but they usually don’t take place far out at sea, but close to the port or on the approach, in congested waters. It’s where the usual navigational aids just aren’t that efficient, because you haven’t just got one nearby vessel to think about, you can have hundreds to deal with field entirely to become involved in image recognition: “Eventually I went to work for Orcam, developing a device that can clip onto glasses which helps visually impaired people to understand their environment - like a supermarket... and can even help them to read.”

Very cool stuff.

However it all suddenly gelled during a chance meeting with an old colleague from his navy days. In a very short time the pair had hatched a plan to take radar, AIS, GPS inputs,

add thermal cameras and tie it together with AI that can work on spatial recognition.

While the technology is presently being trialled on cargo carriers, it's not just for the big ships. Patrol craft, dredgers, supply vessels are all candidates - it can be applied to a 120m container vessel or a 20m tugboat, he explained.

Despite the sophisticated aim, he's against using very expensive equipment “as what we need is something that will do it at an affordable cost”. This has been enabled by both the plummeting price of sensors and thermal cameras along with the rise of machine learning which can process images from ordinary video sources.

But, although the idea with Orca AI is “that it will recognise what's dangerous and what's not, and alert the crew”, he's convinced it won't stop here.

Decision-making support, he said, “is one step along the route” to unmanned vessels.

Though he admitted “the commercial industry is not quite ready” for fully autonomous ships, he believes the push will be gentle but inevitable as machine-learning becomes an integral part of daily life.

And our boats will start talking... to each other.

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY

DOF SUBSEA COMPLETES GEOPHYSICAL WORK FOR E39 BRIDGE Late last year, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Statens Vegvesen, awarded DOF Subsea Norway a contract to undertake a 5km2 geophysical survey in Bjørnafjord The investigation was intended to provide background data for the engineering design of a bridge over the fjord, as part of the Ferry Free E39 project. This scheme will eventually replace nine ferry routes on the 1330km north-south road in Norway and Denmark with bridges, thus reducing the total distance by 50km and journey time by up to eight hours. Work included complementary high resolution geophysical surveys (bathymetry, shallow seismic and sidescan sonar) over an area approximately 5.5km long and 0.8km wide.

Rather than employing well-established geophysical survey techniques for such topographically challenging environments, DOF opted to use the previously untested combination of Chercheur, a HUGIN AUV owned and operated by Ocean Floor Geophysics (Canada), and their own small survey catamaran, GeoCat. A low logistics, shore-based launch of the AUV, supported by the small survey vessel which was able to provide positional updates, eliminated the need for a traditional Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and larger offshore vessel whilst still providing the required high data quality. The AUV containers were set up on the quayside, with a storage area and processing office also established nearby. Working during daylight hours only, all the data was collected in less than a week.

Additional detailed acoustic surveys were carried out at a number of possible anchor locations in order to identify objects with a 0.5m diameter, or more, which could potentially obstruct anchor placement.

Remote Hydrography conference announced Hydrographic surveying is in the midst of a paradigm shift. The development and adoption of disruptive technologies and solutions are increasing survey capacity, capabilities and productivity like never before, whilst simultaneously reducing the risks and costs involved.

Autonomous and unmanned aerial, surface and underwater survey platforms, remote survey command and support services, and techniques such as satellitederived bathymetry, crowdsourced bathymetry, artificial intelligence, machine learning and forward looking sonar are revolutionising data collection, processing, analysis and presentation.

Through an inspiring programme of keynote speakers, presentations and panel-led discussions, the Hydrographic Society UK's two-day Remote Hydrography conference (National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, 30-31 October 2019) will focus on the latest innovations, applications and deployments in remote and automated hydrography.

Where the AUV was not permitted to navigate between the anchors of an established fish farm, located in the survey area, Geocat's hull-mounted seismic and multibeam echo sounder systems were deployed instead.

A total of 180km of data was safely and efficiently collected using the AUV's survey suite which included multibeam (MBES), sub-bottom profiler, sidescan and synthetic aperture sonar.

The HUGIN's advanced terrain following algorithms afforded excellent data quality even in the very rough, undulating and rocky topography, where water depths ranged from 40m to 560m and slopes exceeded 60°.

TUG DELIVERY AND ORDER ROUND-UP Another busy period for tug builders brings news on a global scale but this month we examine orders and deliveries for twelve vessels with a European theme.

Damen's Shoalbusters are a popular choice among tug owners, a design constantly evolving to suit individual requirements and longstanding Dutch client of Damen, Herman Sr is taking the marque to a new level with an order for the first diesel-electric powered Shoalbuster.

The Shoalbuster 3514, to be named Brutus will be IMO Tier III compliant and meet DP2 requirements and includes a draught of just 2.7m via a four-propeller arrangement but it is the list of roles specified for the vessel that catches the eye, highlighting the design's versatility, Herman Sr eyeing the offshore wind sector for the new vessel As well as traditional coastal and ocean-towing Brutus will be capable of: pre-lay grapnel runs, ROV surveys via a moonpool, mattress installation, UXO clearance, mooring, pushing, dredging support and general offshore supply vessel duties.

Other features include a four-point mooring arrangement and accommodation for up to seven crew and 14 additional personnel. It will be powered by four Caterpillar C32 engines providing 3,876bkW (5,280hp) to four 1,900mm nozzles and propellers with a bollard pull of 60t.

Staying with Damen, S Walsh & Sons describe themselves as “London’s premier construction partner” active in civil engineeringrelated activities including: Tilbury Docks, Crossrail, National Grid Power Tunnels and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.

FLEET EXPANSION The Essex-based company is now expanding its fleet with an order for a Damen Multi Cat 1908 with a delivery time of just 10 weeks after contract signing. The vessel was chosen for its versatility and in addition to standard towing and pushing duties (the latter aided by the high 360' visibility wheelhouse) SWS Endurance will be capable of transporting construction material and operating as a crane vessel working off the side.

The Netherlands-based Neptune Marine is another builder known for its range of workboats and it recently secured an order for two EuroCarrier 2495 multipurpose vessels from Danish towage and salvage company DBB Salvage, the order influenced by performance of its current Neptune vessel the EuroTug 2710 Obelix.

DBB Salvage is moving away from mainly heavy lift operations to focus on building projects in Scandinavia and the

Baltic area and the pair, modified for Danish State flag rules will target this market in particular. Additional equipment includes: twin hydraulic spud leg system, moonpools, A-frames, special fendering and enlarged propellers to increase bollard pull.

Reflection on activity on the European tug construction scene would be incomplete without a mention of Sanmar Shipyards and the Turkish yard has had a particularly busy period securing orders for no fewer than seven tugs.

Renewal of a 15 year contract for Svitzer to provide marine services to Sohar Industrial Port Company has prompted a repeat order for five ASD tugs from Sanmar. The order comprises three RAstar 2900SX Bigacay class and two RAmparts 2200 Sirapinar class tugs. The Bigacay class vessels will provide 80tbp with the Sirapinar class offering 50tbp, the former equipped for towing over bow and stern from an escort winch forward and tow hook aft.

Following last month's detailed look at activities with Alfons Håkans the Finland-based towage provider is further enhancing its fleet with the ordering of two RAL-designed icebreaking escort tugs from Sanmar. The pair will clearly be significant vessels, Håkans describing combining good icebreaking and true escort performance as “like mixing ice and fire” and general particulars include a LOA of 31.5m on a beam of 12m and a bollard pull of 67t derived from two 2,000kW main engines. Delivery is scheduled for the summer of 2020 strengthening the company's fleet in the northern Baltic Sea. Finally a vessel launch of note to catch the eye this month is the RINA-classed RAstar 3000-W class tug Vittoriosa, a product of Med Marine's Ereğli Shipyard and to be operated by Tug Malta Ltd, part of Italian Rimorchiatori Riuniti Group. The LNG-compatible tug is powered by MTU 16V4000 M65L main engines delivering 5,120kW and a bollard pull of 80t with propulsion from Rolls-Royce azimuth thrusters incorporating carbon fibre shafts. Rolls-Royce also provide a heavy-duty escort towing winch with a Data Hidrolik towing hook provided aft and climate-controlled accommodation provided for eight persons.

KOTUG SMIT TOWAGE AGREE TO SELL TO BOLUDA It was as recently as April 2016 that Kotug and Boskalis shook up the north west European port towage scene with the completion of its plans, announced at the end of 2015, to form a joint venture arrangement to be known as Kotug Smit Towage which at the time covered shiphandling services at 11 ports in four countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Just three years later both shareholders have announced their intention to sell the total 100% enterprise value of Kotug Smit Towage to the Spanish Boluda Group. Under the terms of the LOI the total value of Kotug Smit Towage is stated as EUR 300m and Boskalis reports that it expects to receive approximately EUR 90m in cash for its 50% equity stake.

While Kotug Smit Towage successfully expanded its presence into new ports and realised synergy, efficiency savings and smarter towage operations both partners are now of the opinion that a further consolidation of the European harbour towage market would be beneficial, a vision shared by Boluda.

Kotug state that shipping alliances are expected to continue to impact the European market and this consolidation will enable Kotug Smit Towage to adequately respond to the development.

Boluda's history dates back to 1837 with its towage operations originating in Valencia in 1920 and like Kotug are a family-owned business. It is considered to be leading operator in the Spanish and French markets and with a fleet of over 230 vessels also holds an important international position in major ports in Europe, Africa, the Indian Ocean and Latin America.

I am confident that this development will unlock new opportunities to further strengthen our growth and allow us to offer operational excellence and innovation to our customers.”

The final agreement is subject to satisfactory due diligence and regulatory approvals from the respective national authorities involved with closing of the deal scheduled for the second half of 2019.

Spanish designer Cintranaval also have a key role in the tug's design.

MAN Energy Solutions developed the 175D engine range to supplement its product portfolio in the maritime sector with the 12-cylinder variant available with an output ranging from 1,500kW to 2,220kW. The target market for the engine is mainly 'working’ vessels including: tugs, workboats, supply vessels and ferries with special model versions suited for other applications including super-yachts and naval

MAN Energy Solutions has secured a notable order to supply the first IMO Tier III-compliant engines for shiphandling tug operations in the Mediterranean.

The two Tier III 12V175D MM engines will supply power to a 27m, 75tbp harbour pusher “Asymmetric Tractor Tug” including for fixed-pitch propeller azimuth thrusters, towing equipment and fire-fighting provision. The LR-classed tug is to be operated by P&O Reyser in the Port of Barcelona, Spain with delivery of the vessel expected in mid-2020.

MAN reports its 175D model is experiencing “a growing number of references within different segments” with this particular order chosen because of the compact footprint, fuel-efficient performance and flexible design approach taken with its SCR layout.

The engines, along with the associated SCR exhaust gas emissions after-treatment system will be supplied from MAN's new 175D production facility in Frederikshavn, Denmark

8 MAN will provide Tier III engines for P&O Reyser’s new harbour tug

vessels. MAN describe the engine as: “An extremely eco-friendly engine, being designed from the outset with compliance to the latest, as well as future, exhaust-gas-emission requirements and utilising a very compact and flexible SCR system, which enables vessel designers to optimise space on board to the maximum.”

There is a connection in this instance between the owner and builder in that P&O Reyser (operating towing, mooring and auxiliary services in the Spanish port market) is part of P&O Maritime, a core company of the DP World empire whose other interests include Drydocks World Dubai, builder of this new vessel.

P&O Maritime has a global presence operating a diverse fleet of both directlyowned and managed vessels including government marine services in countries as far apart as the UK and Australia. The port marine and oil and gas marine services elements of the company have a fleet of around 50 tugs, mooring boats, workboats and pilot vessels.

Propulsion system manufacturer Schottel and towage service provider Svitzer have developed a new hybrid propulsion concept distinguished by its simplicity.

For tug designers and builders, fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs and environmental friendliness will be high on the must-have list in their sales pitch. It is recognised that around 90% of a shiphandling tug's operating time involves low engine loads and the inclusion of various hybrid solutions to avoid main engines running inefficiently for long periods is gaining popularity in addressing this conundrum.

With the typical arrangement of two azimuth thrusters and based on its Y-Hybrid thruster technology, Schottel's new Sydrive-M connects the two allowing them to be powered by either one of the main engines offering an alternative

For light operations one of the two main engines remains alternating off with a “noticeable reduction of operating hours” along with maintenance cost savings

Photo: Peter Barker

SCHOTTEL'S SIMPLE HYBRID PROPULSION SOLUTION

8 Schottel’s mechanical hybrid solution connects thrusters with each other

to the typical hybrid propulsion system of two independent power sources per propeller, normally configured with a main engine and smaller electric motor, an arrangement which Schottel state requires additional electric components making “such hybrid solutions more complex and more expensive.”

This solution mechanically and variably connects two thrusters to one main engine for low-load operations with no need for any additional electronic components or additional gearbox.

The system comprises three main modes.

For light operations one of the two main engines remains alternating off with a

“noticeable reduction of operating hours” along with maintenance cost savings. The engine is better loaded in a more suitable specific fuel consumption range compared to two engines running (in light operation mode) at relatively low rpm ranges with positive fuel efficiency and emissions results.

For short periods when full propulsion power is required the connection between the two thrusters is disengaged, each engine connected independently to each thruster. The system is now identical to any other directly-driven propulsion arrangement. For firefighting operations the disengaged main engine is simply used to drive the fifi pump through its front PTO shaft avoiding requirements for components such as slipping clutches, CP propellers or dedicated engines to supply fifi pumps.

Sydrive-M can be integrated into any usual vessel design with direct propulsion with no need for design changes. It is available for Schottel's Rudderpropeller and EcoPeller series of azimuth thrusters from 1,000kW up to 3,000kW. Retrofit is possible for specific Schottel azimuth thrusters and engine types and the system has been filed for patenting.

INNOVATION ENABLING DIVERSE SALVAGE OPERATIONS

Earlier and just a few days into the New Year, while off the Canadian eastern seaboard and on passage from Colombo to Halifax the container vessel Yantian Express reported a fire among its cargo of containers Fire originating from cargo on container ships is a continuing news thread of late providing work for salvors and while this piece was being written the shipping community was absorbing news of the Italian con/ro Grande America which capsized and sank near La Rochelle after a fire reported to have started on a vehicle deck spread to containers on deck, thankfully the 27 crew on board were rescued.

There are now real fears of extensive pollution to the French coastline from the reported 2,200t of fuel on board along with the usual mix of cargo with French environmental campaign group Robin des Bois reported as saying: “It's a car crash at the bottom of the sea, representing hundreds of tonnes of toxic materials in an area very rich in fish, plankton and marine animals.” No doubt the salvage industry will be heavily involved in mitigating the effects and a story that will likely return to this column.

Earlier and just a few days into the New Year, while off the Canadian eastern seaboard and on passage from Colombo to Halifax the container vessel Yantian Express reported a fire among its cargo of containers. Smit Salvage Americas was engaged under a LOF (with SCOPIC) contract and a number of vessels subsequently responded including: Maersk Mobiliser, Smit Nicobar, Atlantic Enterprise and Sovereign.

18 | APRIL 2019

It took around a week to bring the fire under control and the vessel was able to sail under its own power with tug escort to Freeport in the Bahamas. As usual following such incidents the vessel and cargo owners along with insurance interests then had the task of unloading damaged and un-damaged containers for onward shipment, an operation that was expected to take two months with Lloyd's Salvage Arbitration Branch reporting that the salvors are requesting the usual security provision.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Smit Salvage Pte Ltd along with PT Samudera Mbiantu Sesami have been appointed to salvage the pipelayer Star Centurion. Bearing similarities to the collision between the Helge Ingstad and Sola S in Norwegian waters and another incident with catastrophic consequences for one vessel occurred off the Indonesian island of Bintan in the Eastern Singapore Strait when the product tanker Antea collided with the 27,082gt pipelaying vessel Star Centurion.

Star Centurion was at anchor at the time and suffered damage that quickly resulted in the vessel capsizing and partly sinking onto its side. Once again it was fortuitous that the crew were rescued, thanks to the efforts of the Singaporean authorities and it became clear once again the ingenuity and experience of the marine salvage industry would be called on to recover the sunken vessel, another ongoing operation to be monitored by MJ.

Following a collision between the Norwegian frigate KMM Helge Ingstad and tanker Sola S near Bergen late in 2018 it was clear that salvaging the frigate, which subsequently sank on the inclined slope of a fjord, would present major challenges, but of course challenges are bread-and-butter to the global salvage industry and a team of European contractors has now completed recovery of the Helge Ingstad, in one piece.

After initial work to remove pollutants and munitions, Norwegian authorities called on DEME subsidiary Scaldis and Norway's BOA Offshore to recover the vessel in cooperation with Jan De Nul Group and Herbosch-Kiere.

A “revolutionary” lift method was developed using Scaldis' two heavylift crane vessels Rambiz and the recently delivered Gulliver. With the similar configuration of each vessel's two main cranes they made a natural pairing to distribute their total lifting capacity of 7,300t over the length of the frigate, the synchronous capability of the four cranes allowing the lift in one continuous operation including moving the vessel into a horizontal position.

Once clear of the water and supported in the cranes' slings Helge Ingstad was transported to a nearby location and placed on a partially-submerged pontoon which was then deballasted. Rambiz and Gulliver continued to stabilise the frigate until sea-fastenings were secured allowing subsequent onward transport of the barge and salvaged vessel.

NWA WELCOMES NEW MCA WORKBOAT CODE

Credit: Peter Barker

The UK's National Workboat Association is celebrating the launch of the second edition of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's Workboat Code redefining working practices and standards.

The new Code of Practice covers vessels loosely defined as below 200gt and 24m in length, a growing segment of the UK maritime market and while 600 such vessels are registered with NWA it estimates there are probably twice this number in operation.

The definition of workboat includes tugs and multicat-type vessels and this second edition was prompted by rapid growth of the sector on the back of the emergence of new industries including offshore wind along with advances in technical innovation. The code applies to UK vessels wherever they may be and non-UK vessels in UK waters or operating from UK ports and carrying no more than 12 passengers and industrial personnel as well as crew.

It is 20 years since the first edition known as the 'Brown Code' which did not have the modern UK workboat fleet in mind, NWA stating its members and workboat operators have been calling for a revised version building on lessons learned over the period. This second edition

was developed by a working group led by the NWA in close cooperation with the MCA. Kerrie Forster, chair of the National Workboat Association Safety Forum said: “The revised Workboat Code is a great improvement in regulation and we would like to thank Jenny Vines and the Vessel Policy Branch at the MCA for their tireless efforts in getting this crucial Code of Practice over the line. The Code will certainly be instrumental in supporting our thriving industry - and we call on all of our members, and the wider sector, to use it to its full potential as we collectively aim to uphold

8 UK tug operators constantly strive for high standards of safety

the highest possible standards of operation.”

Edition 2 of The Workboat Code runs to nearly 300 pages and while NWA admit to perhaps not realising the task it was taking on, along with other stakeholders all involved have produced an important document providing guidance to the industry and more importantly enhancing safety within what can by nature can be high risk, indeed the list of definitions alone will be of value to those whose involvement and knowledge is perhaps more of a broad-based one.

ISU MEMBERS’ DAY DEMONSTRATES IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRY The International Salvage Union's annual Associate Members' Day has revealed results of its 2018 Pollution Prevention Survey and a reminder of the importance of the industry

Credit: Peter Barker

Credit: Peter Barker

Held recently in the City of London, the event (attended by MJ) saw a gathering of leading figures from the salvage industry and associated partners from as far away as Japan and the US. A number of papers provided compelling evidence of the need for a suitably-funded professional salvage industry, not only to reduce the scale of financial losses to ship and cargo owners as well as insurers but to minimise damage to the environment and not forgetting the saving of lives when things go wrong at sea.

ISU President Charo Coll welcomed the attendees and in her address reminding those present of one of the organisation's aims, ensuring members receive appropriate reward not only to provide a profit but allow reinvestment and ensure salvors can continue to keep pace with the changing demands for their services.

The key-note address was provided by Nusrat Ghani MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport whose brief includes shipping. A key topic on the day was the role of women in the salvage industry and Ms Ghani outlined work government is doing to encourage entry of women into the shipping industry generally, stating that only 3% of shipping people are women, adding “we cannot ignore half of the population”.

Lindsey Malen-Habib from Resolve Marine added that of the 3% of women in shipping 90% worked in the cruise industry, reminding the audience that Resolve employed female divers and that in Sylvia Tervoort, Smit Salvage has the world's only female salvage master.

ISU communications adviser James Herbert stated that modern container ships were in effect floating warehouses that had to be kept moving to facilitate the just-in-time demands of industry with major implications if that process is delayed because of for instance a fire on board or stranding in the approaches to a major port. In this regard the salvage industry is in effect facilitating world trade.

The subject was taken up by Nicky Cariglia from the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) who outlined its work offering advice on effective response to spills of oil and other pollutants. Funded by the shipping industry, ITOPF has particular benefits to offer in an age when minor

8 Wreck removal is a growing source of work for the salvage industry

20 | APRIL 2019

incidents can cause proportionally larger problems. Offering particularly useful services at remote locations, Ms Cariglia stated this included talking to authorities in developing countries including those refusing to speak with women representatives.

ISU members provided 224 services to vessels carrying 3.2m tonnes of potential pollutants in 2018. There was a significant increase in the year of vessels carrying crude oil and refined oil products, 1,302,228 tonnes - up from 933,187 tonnes in 2017.

Similarly 2018 saw a large increase in the number of containers involved in salvage cases, rising from 45,655 teu in 2017 to 59,874 teu in 2018. The significance of the container numbers is put into perspective by being the equivalent of 898,110 tonnes in 2018 (at a nominal 15 tonnes per teu).

Breaking down the types of contract employed, 27% were TOW contracts, 17% commercial (day rate, fixed contract etc), 15% LOF, 13% other arrangements, 12% wreck contracts and the remainder under Japanese Form terms. ISU point out there may be under-reporting with its survey and includes LOFs performed by non-ISU members.

Charo Coll said: “We know that not all of these potential pollutants were at risk of going into the sea. Some cases will have been simple with limited peril but many others will have carried a real danger of substantial environmental damage. One major incident can cause an environmental catastrophe with huge financial and reputational consequences.” Acknowledging that salvage provision comes at a cost she adds: “It is essential that there continues to be global provision of professional salvage services to respond professionally to marine emergencies and that needs appropriate compensation.”

The day included contributions from speakers from Smit Salvage, Resolve Marine and RelyOn Nutec (the new name of Falck Safety Services) recounting the problems associated with responding to incidents involving large container ships. An expanded feature covering this important subject is planned for a future edition of MJ.

FIRST SPANISH OFFSHORE TURBINE COMMISSIONED The installation and connection of the first offshore wind turbine in Spanish waters has been completed with the prototype now being operational writes Dag Pike Situated in the waters offshore at the Plocan site on Gran Canaria, this turbine is a prototype of a unique self-elevating turbine pylon that has been developed with the hope of reducing the costs of offshore wind farm installations because it allows most of the assembly of the turbine's structure to be completed onshore. This can considerably reduce the need to employ specialist installation vessels as the complete unit can be towed to site rather than erected on site.

The 5MW Elisa self-installing telescopic offshore wind turbine was developed under the EU-funded Elican project and it was first installed close to the shore on the east side of Gran Canaria located off the port of Taliarte. To increase the stability of the structure during the transportation and installation of the turbine, an auxiliary flotation system was attached to the unit after the prototype's nacelle and blades were mounted on the telescopic tower.

The tower is a three section telescopic unit that once located and ballasted down to the sea bed, can be erected to its operating height with the turbine blades and generator already in place The base of the tower is in the form of a ballast tank and this provides the floatation during the float out. The tower is a three section telescopic unit that once located and ballasted down to the sea bed, can be erected to its operating height with the turbine blades and generator already in place.

Called the Elican project, it is being carried out by a consortium led by Esteyco, which also includes Siemens

Gamesa, ALE Heavylift, DEWI GmbH, and Plocan. ALE Heavylift has been in charge of the engineering and performing the lifting operations for the telescopic tower and the auxiliary transport and installation platform, as well as the final offshore installation and ballasting operations.

The project has reached its goal of assembling the entire system, including the foundation, tower and wind turbine and carrying out its pre-commissioning under controlled conditions at the Arinaga port, and then towing it to the site using conventional tugs. According to Esteyco, this reduces the risks associated with assembly work at sea and can cut installation costs by 30% to 40% compared to existing conventional solutions.

24 | APRIL 2019

prestigious IJGlobal award of European Offshore Wind deal of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Mathias Verkest, CEO of SeaMade, which is a combination of two offshore wind projects in Belgium, previously known as Mermaid (235MW) and Seastar (252MW).

WORK IN PROGRESS Located 40-50km off the coast from Ostend, the wind farm will be operated and serviced from the Otary logistical hub in the Port of Ostend. Construction of the project has already been initiated with ongoing geophys activities and manufacturing of structural assets.

Offshore construction works are scheduled to start in summer 2019 with the project operational before the end of 2020.

The 58 offshore wind turbines will be installed and maintained by Siemens Gamesa, using DEME's installation vessel 'Apollo' in Q3/Q4 2020. Meanwhile, production of the transition pieces at SIF (Roermond, NL) has started, as has production of the offshore substation decks at the Smulders yard in Hoboken (BE).

The monopile foundations are scheduled to be installed as from August 2019 onwards using the 'Innovation' installation vessel. The offshore substations and export cables will be installed in Q1/Q2 2020 by respectively the heavy lifting vessel Gulliver (topsides), Innovation (topside foundations) and Livingstone (export cable).

We’ve worked with Penguin Shipyard previously on a number of vessel designs including high speed crew boats and passenger ferries. This new design, for a governmental organisation, is clear demonstration of our joint ability to deliver on complex and challenging vessel design requirements The firefighting capability is designed to be fully redundant with three monitors and three pumps interconnected with a total discharge flow rate of 3600 m3/h. The vessel is equipped with mission-enabling features such as self-spray protection, foam system, and ability to be used as a pump station to support larger-scale landside operations.

Another safety-critical feature of the vessel is the vessel's superstructure that has been designed as an airtight citadel to protect those 'within' from the potential dangers of CBR agents being released in the atmosphere. The CBR system is provided with 100% redundancy on filtration and air-conditioning equipment. Along with the in-built and fully integrated CBR system, the vessel is fit with a decontamination room and two air locks access to the citadel. The vessel's survivability design aspects are built to protect professional crew and rescued passengers against any such CBR-contamination effects.

Other features include a high-speed RHIB with man-riding launching and recovery, large storage capacity for firefighting equipment and a first aid room. The design also includes a rescued passenger lounge for up to 30 people, together with capacity to accommodate eight firefighters in addition to the crew.

SUPPORTING BLUE BY GOING GREEN Seawork is committed to being environmentally friendly and sustainable, both on the run-up to and on-site during the exhibition Recycling exhibition carpets and giving them a second use where possible, using LED spotlights on stands (they’re 80% more efficient than standard spotlights), and using 100% recyclable sugar cane-based carrier bags are just some of the steps that Seawork is taking to be more environmentally friendly on site for Seawork 2019.

Cutting down on paper, printing and over 500 plastic wallets by sending exhibitor welcome packs digitally, banning single use plastics such as plastic straws and bottles on site, and adding numerous water stations to encourage visitors and exhibitors to bring re-usable water bottles will also help Seawork play its part in the move towards sustainability .

Seawork has chosen to support Big Blue Ocean Cleanup as the exhibition’s environmental partner. An international organisation that envisages healthy oceans and global marine biodiversity, the Big Blue Ocean Cleanup mission is to drive positive change towards clean oceans that support marine wildlife and sustainable living.

CONTRACTORS ONBOARD Seawork exhibition contractor Freeman has fully embraced sustainability through its Ryton facility where general and wood waste are separated and sent to a Waste transfer station. Once the Waste arrives at the transfer station it is sorted into all the different waste streams for recycling, if there is anything that cannot be recycled it is then baled and sent to a separate facility and is used as RDF in a local cement facility.

All Freeman’s graphics materials are sent away for recycling, from Foamex to banner material and vinyl. Foamex is baled at Ryton and then sent abroad to make PVC compounds in France, and pipes in Poland. Materials usually also go directly to Poland where special facilities grind and sort it; LDPE is removed, and any stickers and contamination are cut away. The company also recycles the “sawdust” that is created during manufacture at Ryton; extracting it from the machinery and compacting it into “hockey puck” sized pellets which then go into wood waste skips to be collected - no waste goes to landfill.

Exhibition caterers Wise are helping to move towards a more environmentally friendly service by no longer using plastic cutlery, straws, plates or other single use plastics at events. Any ‘single use’ items used by or supplied from the company will be either recyclable or compostable.

GREEN EXHIBITORS ‘Going green’, ‘being more eco-friendly’ and ‘watching your carbon footprint’, are all phrases that almost every business is taking more seriously. While there are the obvious benefits of a cleaner, more pleasant environment, going greener can also help companies boost profits by cutting out waste and being more efficient which, in turn, can help improve a clients perception of and loyalty to a business.

Exhibiting companies at Seawork will have the opportunity to showcase their own efforts to go greener in a display area supported by Big Blue Ocean Cleanup. Part of that display will enable exhibitors to show what their organisations are doing to make a difference to the planet’s oceans, environment and

28 | APRIL 2019

sustainability, showing all exhibition visitors that the Commercial Marine Industry is taking this matter seriously.

WINDFARM CTVS GOING LARGE Tasmanian high speed catamaran designers Incat Crowther recently announced the delivery of the 39m Multipurpose Crew Transfer Vessels MHO Gurli and MHO Esbjerg The vessels were built by PT Bintang Timur Samudera in Indonesia and delivered to MH-O & Co to be operated in European waters for Orsted in their Hornsea Project One offshore wind farm.

The vessels, designed by Incat Crowther, are the largest Wind Farm Support Vessels to enter service to date anywhere in the world. They draw on Incat Crowther's experience with larger offshore fast catamarans operating in the oil and gas industry. The platform was specifically designed to deliver exceptional seakeeping, stability and comfort, whilst accommodating a highly redundant quad-engine / quad-jet propulsion package. Unique to these vessels is the installation of continuously rated marine diesel engines, offering increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

LARGE WORKING DECK The large Incat Crowther 39 platform is maximized with an aftmounted superstructure, affording space on the stern for a transverse 20' container and an extensive working deck forward.

The result of a collaborative effort between MH-O & Co and Incat Crowther, this layout offers impressive functionality and accommodates many different load conditions including a variety of turbine maintenance operations.

Among these operations is a turbine gearbox swap. With the turbine gearboxes weighing in at 32t each, this operation requires a stable and well-designed platform.

Other equipment on the main working deck includes a deck crane, ship's boat and EU pallet tie-downs, in addition to hard points for task-specific winch installations. In total, 110 lineal feet of containers can be carried on this deck, with mounting feet allowing every 10 feet allowing for flexible combinations.

MHO Gurli has already been approved for transfers in significant wave heights exceeding 2m.

The main deck cabin is entered through the wet foyer at the aft end, with lockers, showers, toilets and change facilities for technicians and crew. Forward of this is a crew lounge to port and a crew lounge to starboard. Seating for 24 technicians is provided forward of this, with excellent forward visibility and KAB suspension seats enhancing comfort.

A set of stairs each side from the main deck cabin lead to the hulls, which house large storage and workshop facilities amidships and resting areas forward.

The platform was specifically designed to deliver exceptional seakeeping, stability and comfort, whilst accommodating a highly redundant quad-engine/quad-jet propulsion package. Unique to these vessels is the installation of continuously rated marine diesel engines, offering increase reliability and reduced maintenance costs 30 | APRIL 2019

Upstairs, the mid-deck houses sleeping quarters for 6 crew members and 2 spare cabins, all in single berth cabins. Pairs of cabins share an ensuite, while the master and officer cabins have their own ensuite bathrooms.

MHO Gurli and MHO Esbjerg are operated from the third deck, where the wheelhouse and workstations enjoy uninterrupted vision of the turbine tower and surrounding working areas.

POWER & PROPULSION

YASKAWA SEES HYDROGEN GAINING TRACTION Yaskawa Environmental Energy/The Switch believes the global maritime industry is now on the threshold of a committed move towards renewable energy Asbjørn Halsebakke, Product Manager of Marine Drives said: “We're fielding more and more enquiries about how our innovative drive train and energy efficient technology can be utilized to embrace new fuels. And, in those conversations, hydrogen is a recurring theme.”

Halsebakke's colleague Ville Parpala, Director, Product Marketing of Marine Solutions, agrees. He says that hydrogen, in combination with battery and hybrid systems, will help shipping chart a route to a more environmentally sound and cost-efficient future.

‘‘

There are obvious challenges, in terms of production, bunkering and other infrastructure, but demand will work as a powerful driver to help industry overcome these issues

“Hydrogen is a carbon-neutral fuel,” he states. “When it is produced using electricity from renewable sources, such as solar or hydro power, it is effectively emissions-free. In its liquid form it can be used to charge batteries for electrical propulsion via fuel cells. I think its uptake in maritime will take a lot of people by surprise, with developments moving ahead quickly - in both Europe and Asia, particularly China.

“There are obvious challenges, in terms of production, bunkering and other infrastructure, but demand will work as a powerful driver to help industry overcome these issues.”

Both executives are, however, quick to stress that any move towards hydrogen won't be at the expense of battery and hybrid solution developments, but rather in tandem with them.

Fossil fuels will remain part of the mix for the foreseeable future, they say, but their 'slice of the pie' will shrink over time. Batteries, on the other hand, will grab more.

The first delivery of the Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch revolutionary DC-Hub was in 2008. This, Halsebakke states, is a key piece of the puzzle for shipowners looking to embrace a range of fuel sources, now and in the future.

“Vessels built today have to be viable for the next 25 to 30 years,” he says. “However, nobody can say with any certainty what type of fuel we will utilize over that same time period. This is where the DCHub comes in.

“Not only is it simple, eliminating the need for a main AC switchboard, and cost effective, enabling generators to run at optimal efficiency while batteries cater for load changes, it is also flexible. It allows for any power source - be that hydrogen fuel cells, wind generators, or solar panels - to be easily connected to a vessel's DC grid. In that way, owners can create the best fuel mix to satisfy their operational, economic and environmental needs, adding new sources as they become viable to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.”

Yaskawa has delivered more than 1,000 marine power drives to the industry over the past decade and is currently expanding its in-house R&D capabilities to allow for drive train testing of up to 15MW.

Finland-headquartered technology group Wärtsilä has signed an agreement with the international shipping company Hagland Shipping AS for a hybrid retrofit installation.

The project will take place onboard the Hagland Captain, a general cargo vessel owned by Hagland Shipping. It will be the first project of its kind ever in short-sea shipping applications. The agreement was signed in December 2018.

The project is in response to a collaborative agreement between Hagland Shipping and NOAH AS, the Norwegian environment and resource company, whereby the shipping of materials to the

32 | APRIL 2019

island of Langøya in Norway is required to be via environmentally sound vessels.

Included in the solution are a shore power connection to provide power for loading/unloading operations and for battery charging, a new reduction gear with power take-off (PTO) and power take-in (PTI) technology, and a Wärtsilä NOx Reducer (NOR).

It is estimated that the total reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions after the retrofit could be as much as 80 to 90 percent, while overall fuel cost savings are expected to be in the range of 5 to 10 percent.

The battery capacity will be sufficient to sail in and out of harbour on electric power for

A new series of free industry seminars is touring the world promoting the use of methanol as a marine fuel.

The most recent seminar in Mumbai was organized by Sea Commerce Consulting and Institute of Marine Engineers of India (IMEI) with support from FedCom, Methanex Corporation, Methanol Institute, along with the classification societies ABS and IRS. Captain Saleem Alavi, Sea Commerce Consulting's President said: “Methanol processed using natural gas as a feedstock has a similar emissions profile as liquid natural gas but does not need storing in cryogenic tanks like LNG”, said Captain Alavi. He also pointed to custody transfers for bunker suppliers being much easier for methanol versus LNG, the methanol being more readily available globally, as well as the ease of handling in the supply chain.

Methanol is already an industrial feedstock with a mature supply chain infrastructure, which would make the development of a bunker supply for shipping much easier than for LNG which has been singled out by critics for the difficulties in developing a suitable bunker supply network and the need to build dedicated bunker vessels.

One of the seminar sponsors, and a significant backer of methanol as a marine fuel,

METHANOL GOES ON TOUR

is Vancouver-based Methanex, the industrial methanol producer and owner of Waterfront Shipping, its ocean logistics arm which owns a fleet of methanol powered carriers.

Talking at the recent Mumbai seminar Methanex, Vice President Global Market Development Ben Iosefa highlighted the low environmental footprint of methanol, as well as

the attractive capital and operational costs.

Methanol is a colourless liquid that can be produced from natural gas, but importantly in an industry facing the challenge of halving its CO2 emissions by 2050, can be produced from renewable sources and even from CO2.

The relative dollar tonne cost benefits of methanol, compared to gas oil, is one important factor, as is the ability to convert existing bunker tanks on tonnage to store methanol, and engines to operate off the fuel.

More of these seminars are planned in key maritime areas during 2019.

VETUS AIMS AT DISPLACEMENT CRAFT MARKET The new D-Line range of engines from Dutch engine mariniser Vetus, which is based on the proven range of base engines from Deutz, has been upgraded to provide dedicated power units mainly for displacement boats writes Dag Pike.

The new engines are based on four and six cylinder engines from the Deutz range that feature all the latest emission reduction and fuel saving technology combined with relatively low speed operation matched to high torque that makes them particularly suited for installation in many work and fishing boats where pulling power can be as important as top power output.

The power outputs from the engine series range from 122hp for the lowest powered version of the 4 litre four cylinder engine up to 210hp for the top of the range 6 litre six cylinder unit. All the engine versions operate at 2400rpm at maximum power and can be combined with ZF gearboxes.

The new engines meet the latest EU emissions regulations and they are based on engines with a common-rail fuel system. They are supplied with a CAN bus system with a SAEJ1939 protocol and also work with NMEA2000 systems on board so that they can be integrated with displays. The engines can be

delivered with a wide variety of additions that allows them to be tailored to specific workboat applications, explains Vetus, and they are extremely suitable for providing the power for hydraulic systems on board.

Amongst the features of these engines is an innovative water-cooled top cover to the engine, designed to reduce heat in the engine compartment and to reduce engine noise. This cover can also be used as a step for entry and exit from the engine compartment. Other

features that have been added to the engines include a new and smaller air filter in order to save space in the engine room, new exhaust manifold insulation and water heater connections, an electric sump pump and a 160 amp high output alternator as standard on 12 volt systems and 80 amps on 24 volt systems.

As options Vetus offers a second alternator to cope with heavy electrical loads, a PTO flange to install a hydraulic pump, a fly-bridge instrument panel and a trolling valve. The sixcylinder model also offers a separate fuel filter kit.

Doeksen which operates routes across the Wadden Sea will be deploying two new ferries that will be the first to be powered by MTU's new mobile 16-cylinder single-fuel gas engines writes Dag Pike.

The object in using gas engines is to cut pollutant emissions by a significant margin in this sensitive sea area when operating on routes from the islands of Terschelling and Vlieland to the mainland. The two new ferries have been built by Strategic Marine in Vietnam and made the journey to Holland by heavy lift ship.

“We were looking for a new ferry concept that was both sustainable and innovative,”

After a strategic study, those responsible decided to build two smaller catamarans instead of one large ferry, which not only makes the timetable more flexible, allowing more services to and from Terschelling, but ultimately also boosting efficiency, thereby also lowering operating costs

GAS ENGINES FOR NEW FERRIES

8 Doeksen’s two new 70 metre-long catamarans have been fitted with MTU’s new 16-cylinder Series 4000 gas engines

explains Paul Melles, the Managing Director of Doeksen. “After a strategic study, those responsible decided to build two smaller catamarans instead of one large ferry, which not only makes the timetable more flexible, allowing more services to and from Terschelling, but ultimately also boosting efficiency, thereby also lowering operating costs. The study recommended single fuel LNG (liquefied natural gas) as the fuel of choice. Full electric propulsion was not an option for us yet, given the battery systems currently available

on the market. Terschelling is 21 nautical miles from Harlingen, meaning we would have to recharge the batteries after every trip. We just don't have that amount of time, and it's why LNG is the optimum solution for us right now.”

Doeksen's two new 70 metre-long catamarans have been fitted with MTU's new 16-cylinder Series 4000 gas engines, each with an output of 1,492 kilowatts coupled to fixed pitch propellers to give a service speed of 14 knots. The ferries can carry up to 600 passengers and 64 cars with ro-ro ramps to facilitate loading and discharge.

Following commissioning and various tests, it is anticipated that the new ferries will commence regular ferry services in September 2019. Facilities in Harlingen harbour are being adapted to facilitate the new ferries with a new overnight berth for an additional vessel, minor adjustments to the pier for the safe berthing and bunkering for weekly refueling. Paul Melles comments, “It's really exciting to see something that started out as an idea being taken through to implementation. We've waited so long for this, and now it's all coming to fruition.”

CLASS DOCKING FOR GERMANY’S VERSATILE ‘CAPELLA’ The German multi-purpose research and survey ship, Capella, was leaving Hamburg's Norderwerft in April after more than two months of major class work and overhaul, writes Tom Todd

Despite its shallow draught and flat bottom, however, Capella, which carries a crew of nine and has accommodation for two scientists, is described as having good sea-keeping and manoeuverability characteristics.

Officials said those qualities were also the result of a special stern design, stabiliser fins and skegs Despite its shallow draught and flat bottom, however, Capella, which carries a crew of nine and has accommodation for two scientists, is described as having good sea-keeping and manoeuverability characteristics. Officials said those qualities were also the result of a special stern design, stabiliser fins and skegs.

The latest class work, the cost of which has not been revealed by the BHS, was being carried out at the Norderwerft in Hamburg, part of the Lürssen Group. Norderwerft Project

When the 43.2 x10.76 m, €12 millon Capella went into service with Hamburg-based Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BHS) in 2004 it was the youngest and smallest ship in its fleet of five hydrographic, wreck-location and research vessels.

That is still the case and although other older BSH research ships are being replaced over the coming years, no successor has yet been announced for the 14-year- old Capella.

The ship's main tasks include shallow water survey and the seabed detection of dangerous wrecks and other obstructions.

The ship's draught of just 1.6m and displacement of 455GT makes it ideally suited for service in the busy but shallow coastal waters of the North Sea and the Baltic.

Manager Marcel Broers told Maritime Journal Capella was undergoing an extensive five year German 'grosse Klasse' inspection which began when the ship arrived at the yard in late January and was expected to end in early April.

Germany's 'grosse Klasse' procedure covers docking and a complete scrutiny of the hull above and below the waterline, as well as rudder, propeller, bow thruster, seacock and seachest inspection. It will determine if Capella is certified for five more years of service.

Broers told MJ: “Along with all the works required by the 'grosse Klasse' the complete hull was recoated. In addition, the main and auxiliary engines as well as pumps were overhauled.

Fresh and waste water systems were cleaned out and interiors modernised”.

Capella is powered by two MTU 8V 2000 M 60 engines driving two fixed propellers over ZF 2500 reduction gearing. It last underwent a major class inspection in Wilhelmshaven in 2014.

MANUPLAS FENDERS, DESIGNED TO PROTECT, BUILT TO LAST Boat builders and operators are continuously looking to improve their operating efficiency by reducing costs.

The need for vessel fendering has therefore become increasingly important in recent years as they look to prevent damage to the hulls and bows of their vessels. Vessels can collide against port and harbour walls and against other vessels which results in very expensive damage and the vessel being out of service for a long period.

MEETING YOUR NEEDS Our Manuplas sales team has over 50 years’ experience within the vessel fendering industry and our customers can therefore be assured that they are working with a team who understand the issues / challenges that they face and are able to provide them with a cost effective solution that meets their needs.

ENERGY ABSORPTION CALCULATION To support our customers / help them understand their energy consumption and why this is important, we will calculate the energy absorption for the berthing of your vessel.

This calculation is bespoke to ensure that you’re the calculation is accurate for your fleet. By calculating the energy absorption, we are able to accurately specify the fendering required for your vessels.

FENDERING OPTIONS AVAILABLE For over 25 years, we have continuously researched and developed new fendering products to suit ever-changing customer needs.

An increasing requirement for vessels to operate in harsher marine conditions at higher speeds while also reducing fuel consumption has led us to develop a range of foam based modular bow fender systems which are coated in a sprayed or cast polyurethane elastomer skin.

Manuplas sprayed fenders are up to 60% lighter than rubber D fenders, helping to improve speed and reduce fuel consumption.

They are particularly popular with wind farm vessel operators who require a lightweight and highly impact absorbent fender to allow safe access to turbines – the high durability and light weight features enable the fender to thrust up against the turbine easier then heavier and less durable products on the market. Sprayed fenders are also popular for the hulls of vessels such as high-speed interceptor vessels, life boats and pilot boats which all need to operate

at high speed and maintain efficiency in terms of fuel consumption.

Manuplas’ cast fenders are an alternative option for those requiring a maximum visual appeal (smooth and shiny surface finish) and custom moulded bow, corner sections and terminating ends for exceptional fitting. This is a popular choice for luxury yacht tenders and passenger vessels such as tourist boats.

The majority of our fenders are supplied

as modular systems with straightforward fixing configurations and which are easy to remove/replace when necessary. This ensures that vessel downtime is kept to a minimum.

We have recently introduced a range of rubber fender systems for customers requiring a quick and affordable solution, where weight and visual appeal are not a priority. This is popular with heavy duty vessels such as tugs.

VESSEL REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

A NEW DIMENSION IN VESSEL REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE Wärtsilä has successfully tested its remote guidance service, so claiming to have created ‘an entirely new dimension in vessel repair and maintenance operations’ Through real-time communication using voice-controlled Augmented Reality (AR) wearables and remote guidance software, ship crew members, field service engineers and shipyard personnel can communicate with shore-based experts anywhere in the world. The tests were carried out onboard the Huckleberry Finn, a RoRo ferry operated by TTLines, while sailing between Trelleborg, Sweden and Travemünde, Germany.

Simulated remote guidance service situations were carried out on the ship's navigation equipment on the bridge and on the shaft line seals and bearings in the engine room. The WiFi signal for the video sessions was facilitated by a portable ondeck LTE antenna. The onboard simulations were monitored in real-time by expert Wärtsilä personnel located in Gothenburg and Hamburg. The tests verified the effectiveness of the AR wearables as a means of communication, while the portable WiFi antenna provided a strong signal wherever needed.

“The overall evaluation of this testing programme endorses Wärtsilä's strong capabilities in remote guidance service.

Regardless of where the equipment is located on the vessel, it shows that we can provide rapid troubleshooting and technical advice, thus saving the customer both time and costs. It's like having a Wärtsilä service engineer onboard 24/7. We value the feedback from TT-Lines as this was an excellent example of co-creation with a key customer, and one more important step towards realisation of Wärtsilä's Smart Marine vision,” says Thomas Pauly, Future Technologies Product Manager, Seals & Bearings, Wärtsilä Marine.

“This was a very impressive, professional, and pragmatic demonstration of the technology. The connectivity, when

operating at sea, was remarkable and the hands-free equipment meets our onboard safety standards,” says Thomas Busch, Superintendent at TT-Lines.

Wärtsilä's remote guidance service also proved successful during a demonstration in the TT-Lines office, during which remote guidance opportunities for use in dockings and shipyard overhauls were discussed. Wärtsilä's Smart Marine vision brings digitalisation and connectivity together to optimise efficiency, improve safety and lower operating costs for the shipping industry.

DSV mechanical overhaul Work on overhauling diesel engines on what has been called one of the most advanced diving support vessels in the world, has been completed by power specialist Royston.

Engineers undertook the 30,000 running hour major service on the generator engines onboard the 140m long Subsea 7 Seven Atlantic, as part of a comprehensive refurbishment and maintenance programme of critical power plant.

The 2009-built Seven Atlantic is one of the largest and most capable vessels of its type in the world. It operates a 24-person saturation diving system.

The work by Royston saw the Wartsila W7L32 diesel generator No.5 disassembled to install new cylinder heads, air start valves, indicator cocks, injectors, and cylinder seals.

liners, bearing blocks, crankshaft and turbocharger were all sent to company's Newcastle workshop for checking and essential repair work before being returned ahead of the final reassembly and inspection of the engine.

Engineers also overhauled the turbocharger on the Wartsila W7L32 diesel generator No.3.

Requiring 12,000 running hour overhaul, the

NA297 Napier turbochargers from both engines were removed, stripped, cleaned, inspected and balanced at Royston's specialist test and repair facility, which features a Schenk H3BU horizontal balance machine alongside an IRD B5OU-290 instrument as part of a precision instrumentation capability to increase balance testing.

Following completion of the servicing work, incremental load testing in line with the engine manufacturer's specification was also completed by engineers.

Seven Atlantic's power plant package comprises six Wartsila 7L engines, each driving a 3360kVA Van Kaick generator, generating 6,6 kV (mains voltage). The propulsion installation runs on marine gasoil to provide power for propulsion, dive systems, crane activities and other consumers.

Renolit Maritime has coated one of a total of eleven new vessels ordered by the Danish State Pilot Service, DanPilot.

The other ten vessels were given a conventional anti-fouling paint coating. A series of tests will be performed in the coming months in which the pilot vessels will be compared to each other, particularly with regard to their fuel efficiency.

The eleven identical vessels were built for DanPilot by the Baltic Workboat shipyard. This is one of Europe's leading shipyards for workboats and the company enabled the filming of the vessel in one of its shipyard buildings. In June 2018, Renolit presented its Renolit Dolphin S film solution to the technical directors of DanPilot. The company then agreed to film the last boat of the series with the Renolit Dolphin S anti-fouling film for test purposes.

“Our vessels are in operation for an average of 10 hours per day and use about 1,000 litres of fuel during this period. We not only hope that the film offers outstanding protection against fouling but also significant fuel savings in the long term” said Anders L. Thomsen from DanPilot.

Workboat shipyard in Estonia. A total of five applicators were on-site to apply the Renolit Dolphin S film to the 14.95 metre long boat. As the pilot vessels are identical in design, construction and equipment, the effect of the film compared to the other 10 vessels will be easy to determine,” says Sébastien Charlés, Renolit Maritime Business Manager.

Jürgen Part, the corresponding Project Manager at Baltic Workboats, is excited. “The film could actually be a very good alternative to our previously-used anti-fouling measures, especially

Malin Workboats

with regard to contamination and emissions. We are looking forward to seeing the DanPilot results.

If the film delivers what it promises, we could well make filming a factory option”.

The Renolit Group is one of the leading international manufacturers of high-quality plastic films and associated products for technical applications. The independent, familyowned company has been setting standards for quality and innovation for 70 years and presently employs around 4,500 people in more than 30 production plants and sales offices. In fiscal 2017, the Group generated sales of €1.016bn.

VESSEL REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

The UK's SMS Group has secured two important contracts with Trinity House covering refit and ongoing maintenance.

The culmination of many months' work has seen the SMS team in Lowestoft secure both the refit of the Trinity House Vessel (THV) Alert and three publicly tendered 'Lots' with regards to mechanical and electrical maintenance.

James Grala, the General Manager of SMS Lowestoft, said “We've won both the mechanical repair, maintenance and service contracts for vessels located on the East Coast and the West Coast.

“We've also won the electrical repair, maintenance and service contract for vessels on the East Coast. The former contract covers Harwich and Swansea and the latter just Harwich.

These wins of 'Lots' 1, 2, and 3 provide a clear example of our capabilities and experience.”

He added; “SMS is all about the people, from our colleagues in the dock bottom to our senior management team.

“We're working very well together and we're delivering a good, economically priced, product to all of our customers.

“As a business we care about 'lifetime value' so to have a key, Tier 1, customer like Trinity House entrust us for three years of works is a fantastic place to be.”

8 The SMS Group has refitted the THV Alert

Nicholas Warren, Commercial Director of the SMS Group, said: “The longevity of relationships is so very important to SMS. “The culture that we nurture is customer centric and all about repeat business; James and his team in Lowestoft really do care and they've a very positive history of delivering on time and on budget.”

In addition to the publicly tendered 'Lots' the Group has also completed a routine refit/package of works onboard THV Alert.

At 39m long, she is fitted with a range of high specification survey equipment.

With DP1 dynamic positioning, a service speed of 15 knots and a maximum speed of 17 knots, THV Alert can be deployed primarily to cover the South East coast where she is able to respond rapidly to any maritime incident.

Additionally, THV Alert can be utilised as a research platform with her large working deck that can be used for deployment of scientific equipment and sampling work.

DREDGING

BOSKALIS ADDS ADELAIDE TO BRIGHT ORDER BOOK Dutch dredging contractor Royal Boskalis Westminster has won a contract for the widening of the Port Adelaide Outer Harbour shipping channel in Australia The contract, valued at some €40 million, was awarded last month by port owner and operator Flinders Ports, with works scheduled for the second half of this year.

Boskalis has been appointed to widen the shipping channel to 170m, up from its current 130m, and extend the turning basin to accommodate the larger and more efficient post-panamax container ships which increasingly dominate global containerised cargo transport. The expanded channel will also accommodate larger cruise ships to boost the tourist industry.

Some 1.5 million m3 of mostly sand and clay dredged material will be removed by a Boskalis trailing suction hopper dredger and a large backhoe dredger.

Boskalis has posted a lower result for 2018 in line with expectations. Net operating profit fell from €150m in 2017 to €83m last year, mainly due to a sharp decline for the Offshore Energy division Flinders Port and Boskalis are committed to minimising the environmental impact of the channel widening programme whilst maximising the ongoing health of the marine environment in line with the strict requirements of the Environment Protection Authority dredging license. The dredged material will be placed in a designated area 30km offshore with the aid of environmental management techniques to ensure that maximum permitted turbidity levels are not exceeded.

Boskalis has posted a lower result for 2018 in line with expectations. Net operating profit fell from €150 million in 2017 to €83 million last year, mainly due to a sharp decline for the Offshore Energy division. Market conditions also deteriorated for Harbour Towage activities, mainly as a result of consolidation among the large container shipping companies.

Dredging and Inland Infrastructure, however, had a relatively stable year. A number of large works were in progress in countries including India and Oman, supplemented by a large number of medium sized projects, seeing both revenue and the result rising by 10%. Utilisation of both the hopper and cutter dredger fleets was slightly higher than for 2017. The margin was stable compared to 2017, with the usual combination of results from ongoing works and from the financial settlement of projects completed earlier. Boskalis managed to achieve a substantial increase in contracted work, boosting the order book at Dredging by more than 20% to over €3 billion.

IHC installations for Van Oord trailers Netherlands based vessel builder and dredging equipment manufacturer Royal IHC has won a contract to design and deliver complete dredging installations for two new LNG powered trailing suction hopper dredgers for Van Oord.

The installations will be delivered for the two 10,500m3 capacity dredgers which are currently under build for Van Oord at Keppel Singmarine Pte Ltd in Singapore, with delivery scheduled for 2021. Each will measure 138m LOA with a 28m beam, single suction pipe and total installed power of 14,500 kW. The order includes two suction pipe installations with integrated submerged dredge pumps, four additional shore

48 | APRIL 2019

discharge dredge pumps and six jet pumps in total. The installations are custom built using the latest technology and are fully integrated into the design of the vessel. The pumps are equipped with the latest Curve technology. The Curve impeller, with its innovative shape and blade curvature, ensures that the pumps perform with excellent suction properties over the prolonged lifetime of the product.

This order results from intensive collaboration between the project teams at Van Oord and IHC as the design is tailored to Van Oord's specific requirements. The design team managed to find the optimal balance between weight, robustness and ease of maintenance.

8 Each suction pipe installation will feature IHC's latest Curve dredge pump technology

The engineering team paid special attention to energy efficiency measures which will reduce fuel consumption and thus carbon emissions by a substantial margin.

Both vessels will qualify as Tier III with regard to IMO emission standards and will obtain Green Passport and Clean Shape Notation.

DREDGING

NEW GENERATION WATER INJECTION DREDGERS Dutch dredging and marine construction major Van Oord has ordered two of a new generation of water injection dredgers from the Kooiman Marine Group The new vessels will be multi-functional - with onboard systems which ensure optimal deployment. The first vessel is due to be commissioned in late 2020.

This new generation of versatile vessels will be capable of water injection dredging, mass flow and utilisation of power jetting systems. Heave compensation and dynamic positioning will enable dredging to be pre-programmed. High manoeuvrability combined with minimal draught make the vessels suitable for maintenance dredging in shallow harbours.

At the design stage, the energy management of both vessels was given special attention. A hybrid energy management system will allow the vessels to store energy from residual heat that is normally lost in batteries. This energy can subsequently be used for a variety of purposes, including propulsion. Diesel electric engines will reduce Co2 emissions, enabling the new vessels to comply with the new IMO Tier III legislation for reducing harmful NOx emissions and take account of EU Stage V legislation.

Meanwhile, Van Oord has signed a contract with North Norfolk District Council in the UK for the Bacton to Walcott Coastal Management (Sandscaping) Scheme, which is due to get underway this month.

The project milestones include the decommissioning of existing outfalls and installing a new outfall. To protect important infrastructure from flooding and to benefit local communities, sand will be placed on the beach off Bacton Gas Terminal, Bacton village and Walcott village. Van Oord will be deploying a large trailing suction hopper dredger and a backhoe dredger.

The project will create significantly bigger beaches, improved beach access and increase protection from the sea for the gas terminal and the villages of Bacton and Walcott. As part of the scheme, Van Oord will provide additional value to the villages through a number of initiatives, such as supporting local charities that have a sustainable impact on the community.

Commenting onthe scheme, Councillor Sarah Butikofer, leader of North Norfolk District Council said, "I am delighted we have got to this stage in this crucial project, which will help to provide additional protection to nationally important infrastructure and local villages, using the latest in modern technology and engineering."

Jan de Nul dredging works at Port Hedland Australia's Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) has contracted Belgium's Jan De Nul Group to dredge the channel and further enhance the safe and sustainable access to Port Hedland.

The project forms part of stage two of the Channel Risk and Optimisation Project (CROP), an important PPA initiative to sustain the long term operation, development and future growth of the port.

Over recent years, Jan De Nul Group has been the lead contractor on the majority of the capital dredging works as well as the maintenance dredging works within the port precinct of Port Hedland.

During the first quarter of this year, Jan De Nul Group has been mobilising the large self

propelled cutter suction dredger Niccolo Machiavelli, which boasts a total installed power of 24,000kW. The project is expected to be

completed this summer, at which time it will provide an emergency passing lane alongside the shipping channel, enhanced water refuge zones and increased water depth in targeted areas of the access channel.

Port Hedland is situated on the northwest coast of Australia and is the country's largest export port by annual throughput. It is also the largest bulk mineral export port in the world, with iron ore being the main export commodity.

Pilbara Ports Authority facilitates some $140 million of trade through Port Hedalnd every day, which currently requires the safe and efficient management of approximately 6,000 vessel movements in the port each year.

DECK EQUIPMENT & LIFTING GEAR

CONSISTENCY AND CONTROL: LARGE-SCALE 3D PRINTING IN STEEL It might not be generally appreciated, but casting a large hook that itself weighs in at over a tonne has a number of issues. The very high temperature of the molten metal, the large, complex volumes and the varying rates of heat loss, combined with steel's considerable shrinkage (around 2%) together create enough stresses during cooling to damage the final product.

In fact Vincent Wegener, MD of Rotterdam-based Ramlab, explained the number of failures heavily outweighs the successes - by a factor of five to one. For large crane specialists like Huisman, hook casting is a lengthy, time consuming business and, moreover, one that leaves a question mark over a production period which runs into months for each attempt.

This can leave a crane ready and waiting “but without a hook”, explained Wegener.

The alternative is a far more consistent method which promises vastly improved control over metal quality, as well as potentially allowing a non-stop forming process: 3D printing. However, this is a far cry from the now common fused filament fabrication (FFF) technologies, which usually spool-feed plastics into a shuttle mounted 3D extruder.

Instead, Ramlab specialises in Wire & Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM): the company uses a robotic head that can produce free-form shapes up to 6m in diameter by superimposing metal layers on top of each other. In fact, it's based on a MIG principle, the electrode being fed through the head becomes the weld.

As this process offered far better consistency than casting, a fairly simple ramshorn model with a 40t SWL capacity was trialled; this proved very successful with the hook being subject to a load of 80t during class society tests, so the parties were set to go ahead with a bigger, more complex variety.

The innovation has significance in that it also opens the path for the necessary, underpinning regulation; this will in turn allow 3D printed products to gain acceptance across the maritime and offshore industry This hook is far more ambitious: four prongs instead of just two “measuring 1m across, and 1m from tip-to-tip”, said Wegener, with a capacity of around 325 tonnes SWL. However, he added that even this is only a step on the way: Huisman eventually wants to produce a version that reaches 4m, tip-to-tip.

The beauty of the WAAM approach for hooks of this scale “is that the prongs can be made hollow, which saves on material, weight and production time”, he explained, a characteristic that can only be created in a cast with considerable effort.

Sometimes something as apparently simple as a big lifting hook calls for very sophisticated technology, writes Stevie Knight

It's also comparatively fast: “We can lay down around 2kg to 3kg an hour, and each of the prongs is around 400kg”, he says, bringing the 3D printing period down to a week or so, although he pointed out that like many 3D print methods, a little time needs to be added for grinding the surfaces smooth.

However, there have been some challenges. “We are building the prongs up from a forged, central block, and this proved more difficult to source than estimated,” said Wegener. Further, although the initial trial blocks looked good, “they didn't include the geometry of the prong”.

The next round, unfortunately, wasn't quite up to specification.

“What we need to achieve is a homogenous material... but ultrasonic testing showed start-stop errors,” he explained, leaving tiny holes that become entrapped in the solidifying metal.

However, the problem was investigated and a new tool path strategy was developed with software design partner Autodesk.

The metal was then put through magnetic and ultrasonic examination, but this time no defects came to light.

As a result, the tool path strategy and material parameters for the four-prong hook have all recently been approved by all the classification societies, ABS, DNV GL and Bureau Veritas.

While this will be an industry first, it's not just a win for Huisman, Ramlab and Autodesk. The innovation has significance in that it also opens the path for the necessary, underpinning regulation; this will in turn allow 3D printed products to gain acceptance across the maritime and offshore industry.

RIJKSWATERSTAAT VESSELS GET IT WRONG 8 Three new ecofriendly MPV-30 hybrids for the Dutch Rijkswaterstaat have not yet been accepted

Image: Rijkswaterstaat

Combined fleet

It seems that even the very experienced Dutch Rijkswaterstaat is not above learning an important but chastening - deck kit lesson Three new eco-friendly MPV-30 hybrids for the Rijksrederij, the fleet management arm of the Rijkswaterstaat (the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterways) were commissioned with a blaze of publicity in 2017, but instead of starting work, they've been conspicuously absent.

“They have not yet been accepted,” confirmend Rijkswaterstaat spokesperson, Yvonne Fernhout.

The €26.3m contract for the Merwestroom, Waddenstroom and Scheldestroom have resulted in MPVs capable of engaging in a number of roles

previously covered by five older, retiring vessels. These included patrol operations, fisheries research, water quality, hydrographic and environmental surveys plus, last but not least, channel marking services.

However, it appears they have not met the draught criteria that enables them to be utilised around particularly shallow waters or tidal reaches. Further, she admitted the MPV's also have “line of sight” difficulties.

So, what went wrong? “The most significant issue has been that the original cranes did not have enough capacity for lifting buoys,” Fernhout explained, and added “the replacement cranes proved to be too large and heavy for the design”.

This affected both the view from the wheelhouse and weight, as a result the vessels presently sit too low in the water. However, she underlined “they can still be used - just not for all the purposes we have in mind yet”.

Moreover, the department is correcting the issues with the Bijlsma Wartena yards and Fernhout says together they have “a number of potential solutions” that should rectify the problem. While at present unable to disclose the technical details - or possible further costs - she expects the strategy to be decided in a few weeks, with the vessels finally entering into service this autumn.

SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY KEY FOR WIND WORKING The regulations for working safely and efficiently with lifting equipment in the European wind energy sector have been highlighted by the performance and special projects manager at the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA).

Denis Hogan explained there are two key pieces of legislation that applies to all lifting equipment and accessories that may be used in the wind energy sector in Europe. The Machinery Directive polices the market in the first instance then, when the equipment is in service, the Work Equipment Directive applies to servicing, maintenance, repair and thorough examination inspection.

A regular maintenance programme for lifting equipment “is crucial” and “not just to identify repairs but also to maintain equipment in good working order.

In addition, the equipment needs to be thoroughly examined according to the appropriate regulations.”

8 There are two key pieces of legislation that applies to all lifting equipment and accessories that may be used in the wind energy sector in Europe

CHECK THOROUGHLY It is also important to bear in mind the “subtle” differences between regulations of countries in which the equipment is operated, he said. For example, in the UK this means LOLER (The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998).

“When designing a programme for maintenance, it

is vital that the risks and the conditions involved and the environment in which it operates are taken into consideration,” he stated.

“The programme for thorough examinations may need to be at a greater frequency than is required by the Work Equipment Directive, as is the case in UK. A greater frequency mitigates the risks involved and the greater likelihood of something going wrong,” he added.

DECK EQUIPMENT & LIFTING GEAR

The standard calls for more redundancy in critical components, control and monitoring systems, painter arrangements, launching cradles and radio remote control systems

IMPROVING SAFETY STANDARDS FOR WORKBOAT LAUNCH AND RECOVERY

Photo: Vestdavit

DNV GL is reviewing a new voluntary certification standard covering the davits used to launch and recover workboats and tenders writes Dag Pike.

The new standard includes some of the design features that davit manufacturer Vestdavit has long advocated for safer and more efficient boat handling.

According to Vestdavit, the need for these standards has been brought into focus by the development of smarter, more complex davit designs, where lack of clarity on documentation can lead to incorrect use, and potentially to accidents. DNV GL's proposed standard observes that existing certification approaches for non-lifesaving launching appliances are based around lifeboats' davit standards rather than being specific to many workboat systems.

This is an approach that it does not believe meets market or customer requirements, according to the class society.

8 In higher sea states, boats need to be hoisted clear of the water quickly enough to avoid being lifted by the next wave

To address this problem, the new standard for non-LSA davits emphasises solutions that are more forgiving of system and human failures. The standard calls for more redundancy in critical components, control and monitoring systems, painter arrangements, launching cradles and radio remote control systems. It also includes criteria on where to position the davit on a mother-ship, and for winches themselves and release mechanisms.

In addition, the standards move with the times

by opening the way for fibre rope use for the davit falls instead of insisting on wire ropes.

The new standards also recommend inclusion of an efficient shock absorber to dampen forces on boat launch and recovery, to limit the dynamic effect caused by the interaction with the waves.

The standards also accept the direct connection between equipment performance and different sea states; today, IMO SOLAS requirements offer only minimum handling speeds for davit lifting and lowering operations regardless of sea conditions. In higher sea states, boats need to be hoisted clear of the water quickly enough to avoid being lifted by the next wave. When that wave subsides, the rope is slack, and the boat and its occupants can drop dangerously. A Vestdavit spokesperson commented, “We have consistently argued that basing operations on the sea state in which the vessel is operating is not only favourable, but essential for safe boat handling.” Vestdavit has supplied over 1700 specialised davit systems that incorporate a variety of safety features.

ECO-FRIENDLY ANTI-CORROSION GREASE

Load cell manufacturer LCM Systems Ltd has signed a distribution agreement with a US based load cell and torque transducer manufacturer to distribute its products in America.

The agreement with Interface Inc will represent LCM Systems in the American market and become their exclusive distributor of load pins, load shackles, load links and specialty custom design load cells.

Interface is well placed in the north American continent and can offer LCM Systems access to this large market, while LCM Systems' ability to design and manufacture custom designed load pins, load shackles, load links and load cells will significantly expand the product offering of Interface, enabling it to access a broader sector .

Ashton Marine Services Ltd, a UK boat trailer dealership, has launched LanoShield, a new range of 100% eco-friendly anti-corrosion grease and sprays for the commercial and domestic markets.

LanoShield is made from Lanolin (a bi-product of washing sheep's wool) and unlike most other products, uses 100% renewable resources i.e. no chemicals, petroleum based softeners etc. The result, says Ashton, 'gives a huge range of consumer benefits without doing any harm to the environment or using non-replenishable resources'.

Ashton Marine says that LanoShield is perfect for the marine industry including: 5 Aquaculture 5 Tools 5 Commercial Boats 5 Engines 5 Lifting equipment 5 Boat Trailers 5 Chains and winches The product comes as grease and a spray in a range of sizes starting at 250ml tubs of grease to 200 litre barrels of LanoShield spray with a pump attachment to refill bottles. As LanoShield is pressure washer safe to 300 PSI it does wash off and this means equipment can cleaned quickly and easily without the need to reapply.

LanoShield is a very simple eco-friendly solution for rust protection and though it was developed for the marine industry it is also used in many other business sectors.

8 The product comes as grease and a spray in a range of sizes starting at 250ml tubs of grease to 200 litre barrels of LanoShield spray

Ashton Marine Services Ltd additionally claims to sell the widest range of boat trailers in the UK and also refurbished second hand trailers. The company also hires trailers and specialises in selling and sourcing RIBs for commercial and private owners.

MONITORING, CONTROL & AUTONOMY

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING FOR PORT OF DOVER Two British companies are combining their expertise to develop a comprehensive environmental monitoring system to be installed at the Port of Dover writes Dag Pike Marico Marine and OceanWise will collaborate on this auspicious project, bringing together both companies' unique expertise to create a state of the art system. OceanWise will be designing, integrating and installing the new system that will monitor, manage and publish environmental data in the Port of Dover.

Robert Proctor, an oceanographer at OceanWise commented: “We will install a new tide station and a range of sensors which will monitor the constantly changing environmental conditions at the Port. Historical and real-time data will be published via the OceanWise system 'Port-Log' which integrates the often-complex range of sensor data and displays it into an easy-to-use single output (web page) which can be shared, viewed and manipulated by multiple users”.

The OceanWise system makes up part of the new 'state of the art' system being installed at the port, which has been designed to improve operations, support decision making and enhance efficiencies. Marico Marine will bring their marine expertise to this project based on wide experience on marine risk assessment and port consultancy matters.

OceanWise Ltd is an independent company specialising in all aspects of marine environmental data acquisition, data and knowledge management and GIS providing customers with comprehensive and cost effective end-to-end marine and coastal data management and decision making support which includes intelligent marine mapping and marine data management policy and strategy advice and training. A

speciality of the company is their environmental data sharing and publishing system known as Port-Log. Marico Marine has offices in both the UK and in New Zealand and has carried out navigation risk assessments for a number of British ports. Their available software includes Hazman II that provides a complete guide to the reduction of risks in a wide variety of port operations. The system being developed for the Port of Dover will provide a complete record of all of the environmental aspects of the port including both current and historical data. This can be presented in both graphic and numerical form and can help as the basis for analysing incidents and potential risk factors.

Wight Shipyard, has installed Reygar's BareFLEET cloud-based monitoring system on the latest fast ferry built for MBNA Thames Clippers to help optimise performance, reduce maintenance costs and enhance operational safety.

Through the daily vessel reports produced

by BareFLEET, Wight Shipyard can monitor all operational and navigational activity for the 38m catamaran Venus Clipper, including the time spent at each berth. Vessel metrics including engine health, fuel use, and CO2 emissions are recorded, along with any alarms that have occurred throughout the day. This data is fed back to Wight Shipyard and shared directly with Thames Clippers.

Continuous monitoring also enables the shipyard to address any issues for MBNA Thames Clippers before they result in downtime for the vessel.

Monitoring system reports to yard

8 Wight Shipyard will monitor operational and navigational activity for Venus Clipper using Reygar's BareFLEET

at Reygar, said: “Comprehensive data monitoring is essential for both shipyards and vessel operators. Thorough reporting on how new vessels like Catamaran Venus Clipper perform is critical both in ensuring warranty claims are resolved equitably and verifying that the design is delivering to specification ultimately meeting the commercial goals of the end-user.”

At the end of the shipyard monitoring period, the BareFLEET system can be handed over to MBNA Thames Clippers to maintain performance and safety throughout the operational lifetime of the vessel.

BareFLEET will be used to ensure that each vessel Wight Shipyard delivers performs to design specification, and that warranty claims are settled fairly. This data will also feed into the design and build of future vessels to drive continuous operational improvements.

N-SEA TO CLEAR WWII UXOS FOR VIKING LINK N-Sea has secured a contract which is estimated to be in excess of €6m with National Grid and Energinet to deliver an unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance campaign for the Viking Link Project Due to start in mid-May, the contract is part of a high profile project for the installation of a subsea power cable between the UK and Denmark. The project consists of a proposed 473-mile long electricity interconnector between Bicker Fen near Boston and the substation Revsing in southern Jutland, Denmark.

Mobilising the Noordhoek Pathfinder and MagSense, N-Sea's UXO detection system developed in conjunction with EIVA, the initial phase will see N-Sea conduct a seismic sonar, multibeam and gradiometer survey along the Viking Link route. The second phase will involve the identification and on-site detonation of any UXOs found in the area.

This is an exciting project to work on, particularly with the use of our MagSense frame, which collects highly accurate data while enhancing the efficiency and safety of the detection process N-Sea Chief Commercial Officer Gary Thirkettle said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this contract and be involved in the Viking Link project. This is testament to our significant track record for UXO campaigns and proven experience in the investigation and mapping of potential targets.

“This is an exciting project to work on, particularly with the use of our MagSense frame, which collects highly accurate data while enhancing the efficiency and safety of the detection process. This is the latest in a diverse range of projects N-Sea has been involved in across the energy sector, and we are proud to be playing our part.”

Project Manager at Energinet, Rasmus Juncher, said: “On behalf of the entire Viking Link project team, we are very happy to see the UXO survey campaign commence. After several years of planning, from the UXO desk study through to the tender phase, we are now entering the execution phase. I look forward to working with N-Sea throughout the survey and UXO inspection campaign and building a successful relationship.”

N-Sea specialises in subsea services for the renewable, oil and gas, and telecom/utility industries, as well as for civil contracting communities. With a focus on safe and efficient operations, N-Sea provides near shore, offshore and survey services to asset operators and tier 1 contractors.

Landmark contracts for Vryhof hard soil anchoring solution Vryhof Anchors has secured a number of landmark contracts for its Stevshark Rex anchoring solution indicating its growing acceptance as a go to tool in the oil and gas, offshore construction, dredging and marine renewables sectors.

The new contracts have been secured with Anglo-French independent operator Perenco and its Congolese subsidiary Perenco Congo SA; Maersk Drilling in Trinidad and international EPC contactor CNGS Group. In addition, two Stevshark Rex's will also be deployed by the civil and environmental contractor, Jan De Nul Group.

“In April 2017 when we launched the Stevshark Rex, we promised that it would redefine the application boundaries of drag embedment anchors, bringing more remote areas in shallower waters but with harder

soils into play for offshore drilling, production, dredging and construction,” said Leopoldo Bello, manging director, Vryhof Anchors.

Among the new orders, the contract with Jan De Nul Group will include the supply of two

customised 26 mT Stevshark Rex anchors and a 29.2 mT external ballast to support the Willem van Rubroeck cutter suction dredger.

Previously, the group was using heavy concrete anchors to control the cutter head.

Going forward, the Stevshark Rex will provide lighter, improved performance, as well as specifically designed cutter points, thereby opening up new opportunities in hard soil areas.

The Stevshark Rex launched a year ago with versions ranging from three to 60 metric tonnes (mT).

Since then, the Stevshark Rex has gone into operation everywhere from the Northwestern Shelf in Australia to the Russian waters of the North Caspian Sea and from the Northern North Sea to the Indian Ocean and Caribbean.

SHIPSHOT

‘CANADA-READY’ FRP PILOT BOAT Canadian operator Sea Legend Pilotage has successfully trialled a new Damen vessel based on a composite FRP hull.

The reduced weight of this construction not only allows the vessel to reach 29 knots, it also reduces fuel consumption significantly, considerably lowering both operating costs and emissions. The composite hull requires much less maintenance, meaning the vessels are a shrewd investment for a long-term service provider.

Speed was a primary consideration in selecting a vessel, says Lloyd McGill, owner of Sea Legend Pilotage, “We were attracted to this vessel because, in our experience, pilot boat speeds

are often ‘best case scenario’. That’s not the case with the Stan Pilot vessels – we can be certain they will reach the 29 knots list speed.”

Sea Legend Pilotage raised the order with Damen in summer 2018, swayed by Damen’s ability to deliver the vessels ‘Canada ready’ – that is to say, fully compliant with Transport Canada’s Small Vessel Regulations.

After being built at Damen’s specialist in composite construction, Damen Shipyards Antalya, Turkey, the Stan Pilot 1605 FRP was outfitted at Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, the Netherlands. At this location, Transport Canada was able to inspect the vessel, which greatly aided the compliance analysis process.

Though the Stan Pilot 1605 FRP is part of Damen’s standard

portfolio, this vessel underwent a safety equipment upgrade and includes some custom features, such as a man overboard scoop.

Given the specificity of the order, Mr McGill is extremely positive about his experience with Damen.

“We are very impressed. I’ve built quite a few boats over the years and I’ve never experienced service like this before. Often the relationship with the shipyard ends as soon as the vessel is delivered, this is definitely not the case with Damen.”

The Stan Pilot 1605 FRP will be delivered by a heavy-lift ship to Canada and will arrive in mid-May. 8 For more information please visit www.damen.com
