This month’s cover photo shows the salmon delousing barge HydroFlow. Currently operating on a Norwegian salmon farm, this 35-metre long vessel was built

by Neptune Marine. The HydroFlow is equipped with a PG-Hydroflow live fish pump and a Hydrolicer delousing system.

What differentiates the Hydrolicer system from chemical methods of delousing is that it removes fish lice mechanically, using seawater under pressure to gently dislodge the fish lice.

Neptune Marine took just five months (from first concept design to final delivery) to build the HydroFlow,

basing the design on its own EuroPontoon. “We developed, designed and built this custom-made vessel in close cooperation with Hydrolicer and our client,” comments Paul Kriesels from Neptune. “This has resulted in an innovative vessel that will allow our client to carry out fish delousing activities in a productive and environmentally friendly manner.”

RENTEL NV BEGINS 42 WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION 8 DEME’s Sea Installer leaving Ostend

DEME's jack-up installation vessel Sea Installer has left Ostend with the first of the 42 Rentel wind turbines for the North Sea. All components of the wind turbines were constructed onshore and are currently stored in the port of Ostend. There, the different components of the tower were assembled into one tower.

This means that a construction kit consisting of a tower, a nacelle and three rotor blades is created for

each wind turbine. This is necessary to facilitate the installation at sea.

Nathalie Oosterlinck, CEO Rentel: “The kick-off for the offshore installation of our wind turbines is the start of the last phase of the construction process. I wish all crew members of the Sea Installer a safe trip and hope that the installation will go smoothly."

Rentel is a wind farm situated in the Belgian North Sea,

The new cruise passenger terminal at DP World Limassol has been inaugurated by Cyprus President, His Excellency Mr. Nicos Anastasiades; Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mrs. Vassiliki Anastassiadou; the Mayor of Limassol, Nicos Nicolaides and DP World Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem.

The operational opening of the terminal was attended by almost 300 guests and will enable the largest cruise ships in the world to visit the country for the first time. It provides world-class facilities and services for passengers and features seven pods with a total floor area of 8,205 m2. The terminal is designed to facilitate both Transit (day call) and Turnaround (home porting) services. In addition, the East berth with a length of 480m and

The second day will include a session looking at the latest on European funds post-2020. It aims to provide an indication on the

expected future funding landscape for fisheries and blue growth as well as maritime research and innovation.

Delegates at the event, due to take place in Burgas, Bulgaria,

from 31 May to 1 June, will also be able to attend DG MARE information sessions on measuring the EU blue economy, turning marine litter into a sustainable business and financing strategic cooperation for blue growth.

NWA MEMBERSHIP DOUBLES IN SEVEN YEARS The UK's National Workboat Association, the trade, skills and safety standards association for the workboat industry, has announced that its membership has doubled since 2011.

This milestone was achieved with the introduction of the Association's 80th and 81st members: rib operator Commercial Rib Charter and marine services provider Svensk Sjoentreprenad AB. The boom in offshore wind and increasing demand for wider maritime service industries in UK and European waters has provided a catalyst for this growth.

And as the membership has grown, so too has the number of vessels registered with the Association, which has seen an increase from 260 to 565 over the

last seven years. These vessels comprise a diverse range, including tugs, shoalbusters, multicats, pilot vessels, survey vessels and Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs), working on projects ranging from port services to long-distance towage contracts, and offshore wind logistical support charters.

8 NWA Secretary Mark Ranson

Since its foundation in 1994 by respected industry leader Norman Finlay, recently awarded an MBE for Services to UK Shipping, the NWA has provided support and help to a growing membership base, while leading the industry through the establishment of new legislation and 'best practice' guidelines.

The original UK Workboat Code, applicable to vessels under 200 tonnes and later used as the basis for numerous international codes, was a major achievement of the Association in its first years. The NWA has also played a pivotal role in strengthening the relationship, and enabling communication, between the regulator, the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA), and the companies working under its remit.

UK Port operator ABP has announced the appointment of Henrik L. Pedersen as its new Chief Executive. Mr. Pedersen joins ABP from APM Terminals, a key business within A.P. Moller-Maersk, where he has served as CCO since January 2017. Speaking about his appointment, Mr. Pedersen said, “With ABP handling around 25% of the UK’s seaborne trade, making sure the business can continue to develop and grow is vitally important for our customers and the wider UK economy.”

The board of subsea service provider DeepOcean has announced Øyvind Mikaelsen as its new CEO. Mr Mikaelsen was most recently Executive Vice President at Subsea7, and has 30 years of experience in the global subsea business holding various senior executive roles.

The Marine & Coastal Civil Engineering Expo is back with a brand new location for 2018. Set to be the biggest show yet, this year's event will be hosted at the NEC in Birmingham, UK on the 12th and 13th September, and registration is now open.

The expo promises to provide visitors with a world-class line up of innovative exhibitors, industry-leading speakers and equipment demonstrations throughout both days.

Ex Naval Captain and Marine Consultant Jon Holmes joins the team at Swathe Services as their new Business Development Manager.

The new role was created to maintain and increase product sales and services as well as managing long-term strategic growth. Swathe Services is a Hydrographic Survey services company based at Hayle Marine Renewables Business park, Cornwall, UK. A steady increase in products and services has meant the large customer base and support had to be met with additional staff.

The panel will look at the UK's long-term maritime strategy and also includes one of IMarEST's Honorary Fellows.

Working in partnership with industry, the government aims to challenge the sector to think about what it will look like in 2050.

This vision will reinforce the development of Maritime 2050, a long-term strategy by the end of 2018 that emphasises the opportunities for the UK maritime sector. The expert panel will offer advice and look strategically at the issues that will be of critical importance to the maritime industry, and all the industries it sustains, up to 2050.

'MPI Enterprise' fitted with spudcans MPI's wind turbine installation vessel MPI Enterprise has recently been upgraded with spudcans. The spudcans, which were installed during a drydocking in Rotterdam, increase the load-bearing area when the vessel is jacked up. This, in turn, minimises penetration of the vessel's legs into the seabed when working offshore.

MPI Enterprise is the newest addition to the company's WTIV fleet. Built in 2011, and acquired in January 2015, the vessel has brought an additional spread of services and flexibility to the existing array of vessels. Key features include the vessel's removable spudcans and jacking speed of 1.00 metre/minute in water depths of up to 45 metres.

Following her upgrade, MPI Enterprise mobilised at the port of Eemshaven before commencing a new charter, working on offshore wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

PROFILE

SIMON FORREST NOVA INNOVATION

“The moon-race going on in the tidal energy sector” is more likely to be won by smaller, more dynamic firms according to Simon Forrest of Nova Innovation: “If you want transformation, don't look toward big, bluechip companies - they are generally too comfortable with the status quo.”

He should know: Nova, an SME, beat wellestablished competitors to deploy the world's first tidal array.

However, Nova's strategy is a little out-ofthe-ordinary. Firstly he underlines: “We are a full solutions company, we do everything from water to wires, we didn't go to tests centres, we developed our own site and technology from the start. I believe that if the client is going to see the benefits you need to handle the process all the way through.”

INNOVATION PATHWAY The company's innovation pathway has also been different: “If you go back five or 10 years, the regulations, incentives and grants were all about large-scale, multi-megawatt devices, but we never believed that was the way to do it,” he said. “Innovation is a high-risk business: in the early days of the wind sector, large-scale

devices were commercial dead-ends: very expensive to fix when the inevitable problems showed up so investors pulled out... Instead, we said, 'start small, think big'.”

Therefore the company went on to create its breakthrough 100kW device: “If something goes wrong at that scale you can fix it, it doesn't kill the project - never mind the company,” he added. Moreover, it's sized for 'stand alone' off-grid projects in places where the grid infrastructure is missing entirely “which gives us another commercial route to market” he explained.

SECOND DEPLOYMENT That's not to say there haven't been 'grey-hair' moments admitted Forrest.

“The first device was deployed as planned, but after two years of preparing the second deployment, the insurance company suddenly said 'no, you can't take the cranes on B-roads'... unrelated to Nova, there had been an incident elsewhere on the Shetland Islands - nothing we could have foreseen. Of course, our chosen spot was at the end of a B-road.”

“We sat down with Shetland Island Council and other local stakeholders to find out how we

If something goes wrong at the 100kW scale you can fix it - it doesn't kill the project never mind the company

could sort it out. I have to say, their can-do attitude was magnificent.” The answer was to move the operation over to the next island - to Unst - as the hard standing on the pier is technically classed as an A-road so Nova ferried everything across.

“However, we had to effectively flat-pack a 100kW power station: we had to take everything with us, as there was simply nothing there, not so much as a power point. No lighting, or anything, so that certainly tested our logistics and design. The teams really showed what they could do in the face of adversity.”

Now Nova is looking at the next phase.

“We showed in 2014 that it could be done, and then in 2016, showed it could be done in multiples, so, going forward, it's about showing we can bring costs down. It's a very exciting time,” said Forrest.

speed engines reduces the space occupied by machinery allowing a finer more efficient hull-form for the same deadweight. Performance figures include a bollard pull of up to 70 tonnes and speed not less than 12.5kn. DMT provide the hydraulic double-drum towing winch.

Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRVs) are usually outside this column's brief but perhaps worthy of consideration with rescue towing often on their list of capabilities. Sentinel Marine of Aberdeen recently took delivery of the ERRV Biscay Sentinel from China's Cosco Guangzhou Shipyard. This 62m LOA multipurpose vessel has the profile of a tug/PSV and offers 1,400kW of power via twin shafts and an array of thrusters. A 30t SWL towing bollard is provided aft.

Finally, significant news from afar has seen delivery of the first eight of a fifteen vessel order for PT Pelabuhan by two Indonesian shipyards. The tugs are all various derivative RAL RAzer designs and will be the first RAL tugs operating from major ports in Indonesia, including the new container port of Terminal Teluk Lamong near Surabaya.

At the Netherlands facility of De Hoop Shipyard progress is reported with a series of four new design, 40tbp ASD harbour tugs for Caspian Offshore Construction of Kazakhstan. At the time of writing, first of the series Kabanbay Batyr was on its delivery trip to Azov.

Prior to launching, and due to extremely high water when De Hoop's Lobith shipyard was threatened with flooding, hull number four was transferred to higher ground by floating crane where assembly continued, an operation described as successful by the shipyard.

Still in Europe, we review two Damen deliveries. Since formation of the new venture Kotug Smit Towage involving their north-west Europe harbour operations, additions have been made to the fleet and following delivery of the 80tbp ASD 2913 tugs Rotterdam and Southampton two more new tugs have joined Kotug Smit. The versatility of its fleet is evident in the choice of ATD 2412 Twin Fin tractor tugs of 72tbp with the names Buffalo and Beagle. Ordered in May 2017 and January 2018 respectively, Beagle had a very short delivery time, handed over on 16 March 2018.

Turkish shipbuilder Med Marine reports two deliveries and one order this month including two Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) RAmparts tugs delivered to domestic and overseas clients. As well as a shipbuilder, Med Marine is also a towage and pilotage service provider and the RAmparts 2300-MM Med XXV has now joined the affiliated company Med Marine Pilotage & Towage.

With a length of 23m and beam 10.9m Med XXV is powered

by Caterpillar 3512C main engines developing 2,760bKw in total, driving Schottel SRP340 thrusters with a bollard pull of 50 tons.

SEC Groningen supplied an anchor/towing winch forward and towing winch aft, other features include fifi1 capability and MLC-compliant accommodation for six persons. Med XXV is the second of six RAmparts 2300-MM tugs for Med Marine.

The second delivery involves another RAL design, a 22.5m harbour and coastal tug for Beirut Pilotage Station. MTU provide two 12V4000M61R main engines developing 2,280kW in total driving Promarin propellers and a bollard pull of 40 tons.

Caterpillar supplied two gensets and Masson the reverse reduction gearboxes with Marsis supplying the fire-fighting system. Accommodation is provided for six persons.

Tugs & Towing recently reported delivery by Sanmar Shipyards of the RAL-designed VectRA 3000 VSP-powered tug Arie A to Italian tug owner Tripmare Spa for operation in the Israeli port of Ashdod. It has now been joined by a second similar example bearing the name Ashdod. They are designed specifically for Sanmar whose brief was for a VSP tug under 500gt, incorporating high-speed engines, a clutch between thruster and engine, electronic controls and fully MLC 2006 compliant crew accommodation.

Caterpillar 3516C main engines produce 5,050kW and drive Voith type 32-R5 250 cycloidal propellers via Reintjes WAF 843 clutch and reduction gearboxes. Transmission losses are reduced improving efficiency, the drives able to be de-clutched at idle significantly reducing fuel burn. The selection of high-

SANMAR STOCKS UP ON ROLLS-ROYCE THRUSTERS

Sanmar is a shipyard that has developed a production line approach to tug construction including vessels built for stock in the knowledge they will soon attract customers. This constant stream of vessels under construction means it is important to maintain a supply of components and this order with Rolls-Royce guarantees supply of thrusters and other equipment for 21 tugs.

The scope of the order includes 42 Rolls-Royce US 205/255 azimuth thrusters for 21 harbour, terminal and escort tugs in the 60, 70 and 80 tonne bollard pull range along with high-pressure hydraulic towing winches for the 80 tonne versions. All the vessels are based on new designs developed by naval architect Robert Allan Ltd exclusively for Sanmar.

Rolls-Royce and Sanmar's relationship spans 15 years which has seen 150 Rolls-Royce azimuthing thrusters being specified for Sanmar-built vessels. The framework agreement will see standard specification products supplied to Sanmar over a two to three-year period, it also takes into account options on the standard product specification 'to cover specific demands and operational requirements'.

Gary Nutter, Rolls-Royce Director Customer & Propulsion said: “This new arrangement provides both parties with some significant advantages, for Rolls-Royce it provides good visibility, allowing us to optimise production. The benefits for the customer are that we can offer shorter lead times, secure production slots and the flexibility to customise the equipment in line with specific requirements. It's a win-win arrangement for both parties.”

For Sanmar, Ali Gürün, Projects Director and member of the board said: “The current order book for Sanmar tugs lends itself

In what is described as a 'novel supply agreement' Sanmar Shipyards has agreed a multiple order for thrusters and winches with Rolls-Royce.

to this new procurement arrangement. Rather than having to create new supply agreement for each newbuild project, this new arrangement allows to effectively have a constant supply of Rolls-Royce equipment that we can adapt to meet our customers' requirements. This means we can potentially reduce build time and streamline the building process.”

Sanmar has a wide-ranging portfolio of tug designs and recently introduced two new additions, a 25m tractor tug incorporating a hull that can be outfitted for 60tbp or 70tbp and a 29m ASD tug of up to 90tbp

8 RT Borkum provides practical training for tug masters

With increasingly sophisticated and higherpowered tugs operating in safety conscious environments training is moving on from the traditional approach of simply learning from the previous generation.

Recent growth in activities involving advanced and powerful tugs at LNG terminals demand increasingly high standards of expertise and safety including at exposed offshore floating terminals with additional duties often required from vessels whose basic function (and level of expertise expected of the crew) has expanded to include other disciplines. These sophisticated vessels, known as 'infield support vessels' still however require basic towing knowledge dating back centuries up to the high-end skills of modern escort towage requiring training to maintain safety standards

18 | MAY 2018

Rotterdam-based Tug Training & Consultancy B.V. (TTC) is one company offering training modules at classroom, simulator and training tug levels including: basic tug handling; basic and advanced harbour towage; escort towage; sailing in ice and tailor-made courses. The simulator courses are complemented by sessions on a training tug offering practical manoeuvring and handling in a realistic and representative environment.

TTC points out that other than generic IMO qualifications there is no certification for the specific skills of tug master with accepted competence levels often limited to preformulated 'tricks-of-the-trade'. Working with authorities, TTC is striving to see a formal Tug Endorsement qualification introduced. TTC's trainers are experienced in all types of tugs and are able to pass their knowledge on to

others having all completed three official IMO model courses and an in-house train-the-trainer course.

The unique feature of TTC's package is the training tug RT Borkum providing real-time hands-on experience in a controlled and representative environment. This 15m long, 10tbp Rotortug, built to an unprecedently high standard is based at TTC's location in Rotterdam and was showcased at Tugnology 2017 (see MJ July 2017).

Southampton UK-based Meercat Workboats has revealed the latest addition to its portfolio, an 18m multipurpose workboat becoming the largest such in its range.

Multipurpose, pontoon-shaped workboats or 'multicats' as they are sometimes referred to (a name with specific origins elsewhere) are now commonly seen supporting various maritime activities. Within Europe, competition for constructing such workboats is alive and well and while centred on a handful of builders, smaller yards such as Meercat are offering alternatives to the well-established marques.

This latest, designated the Meercat M18 follows the standard configuration of robust pontoon-shaped monohull with offset deck house offering crew accommodation up to four persons or workshop, a working deck provides cargo-carrying capacity of up to 85t.

The M18 meets UK MCA Workboat Code of Practice - Category 2 (60NM from safe haven) and offers flexibility of layout to meet specific requirements.

Basic specifications include: LOA 18.75m, beam overall 8.7m, depth moulded 2.5m and draught loaded 2.1m. Propulsion is a conventional twin-screw arrangement powered

US MAINTENANCE CONTRACT SUCCESS FOR WÄRTSILÄ 8 Wartsila’s maintenance contract covers 11 vessels of Crowley’s fleet

Credit: Wärtsilä

Helsinki-based technology group Wärtsilä continues to grow its global footprint following extension of a tug maintenance contract in the US. The agreement between Wärtsilä and Crowley Petroleum Services involves the continuation of the long-standing co-operation between the two companies covering extensions and expansion of maintenance arrangements for 22 Wärtsilä engines on 11 articulated tug-barge (ATB) units owned by Crowley.

The agreement involves extending the original contract term from 2019 to 2023 whereby Crowley receives a comprehensive maintenance package, access to technical services and troubleshooting and response time guarantees in cases of unforeseen circumstances requiring immediate attention.

Also included are performance guarantees covering time-sensitive situations where support teams can quickly troubleshoot problems minimising vessel downtime. The contract is Wärtsilä's first maintenance agreement covering complete propulsion systems including seals and bearings.

The process involves ensuring planned maintenance during the ATBs drydocking programmes can be carried out on schedule including customisation of work along

with on-going co-operation with Wärtsilä who state its customers are showing increased interest in comprehensive maintenance agreements allowing customers to concentrate on their core business.

Crowley's ATBs comprise a tank barge with the tug positioned in a notch in the stern of the barge. The ATB has an articulated or hinged connection system allowing movement in one axis, the critical area of fore and aft pitch. This is different to integrated tug/barge units where

tug and barge are locked together in a rigid connection becoming in effect one unit, the hinged movement of the ATB system is not present in the integrated system.

Separately, Wärtsilä has announced it is to acquire Transas the UK-based global 'market leader' in marine navigation solutions including complete bridge systems, digital products and electronic charts. The move is part of Wärtsilä's aims to develop its Smart Marine Ecosystem which centres on establishing an ecosystem digitally connected across entire supply chains through applications that are secure, smart and cloud-based.

While this may not appear to be of immediate relevance to the tug industry, a quiet revolution is taking place in areas including automation and monitoring and it positions Wärtsilä in a stronger position given its presence in for example the area of machinery and propulsion for the towage industry.

8 MTU has gained IMO Tier III certification for its Series 4000 marine engine with the tug sector being a target market for its latest generation engine.

The Series 4000 engine is equipped with an SCR system and meets IMO regulations to the satisfaction of classification societies: ABS, BV, DNVGL, KR, NK, LR and RS. The range extends from 2,160kW to 3,900kW and is available in 12, 16 and 20-cylinder versions. The tug and workboat version (meeting IMO Tier III and EPA Tier 4 requirements) is being offered in the 1,119kW to 3,220kW range.

8 Regge is the third of four ex-Netherlands Navy tugs now under new ownership

8 With the Royal Netherlands Navy receiving four new Damen hybrid tugs it is reported the third of four tugs they replace has been sold to Canadian interests.

Speculation surrounded the fate of the four late 1980s-built harbour tugs, all maintained to a high standard including at one time the suggestion they would all be heading to a UK owner. They are now being sold separately and the sale of the Regge has been concluded. The new owner is reported as Harbour Development Inc of Canada with three of the four having now passed on to new owners.

8 MTU’s series 4000 has been around in various forms since 1996

8 Shetland Islands Council (SIC) has taken the Damen ASD Tug 3212 Multratug 30 on charter to operate at the port of Sullom Voe. This follows the earlier news that SIC had purchased the sister-vessel Multratug 29 from its Dutch owner following a six-month period on charter. They replace the Shalder and Tirrick both reported sold to Greek interests and will hopefully bring to a close the long-running saga that saw two Spanish-built tugs Solan and Bonxie dogged with problems and eventually sold to Italian owners.

8 Boskalis has presented its annual report including the reporting of good progress with the organisational integration of its Towage & Salvage division.

Kotug Smit Towage is the development that has been making news in Europe, but Saam Smit Towage also started operating in two new ports in Brazil and commissioned new tugs in Canada and Brazil. Smit Lamnalco successfully extended a number of terminal service contracts.

Revenue within Towage & Salvage declined as a consequence of deconsolidation of its European harbour towage activities per the second quarter of 2016 with a 'very busy second half of the year' reported for Salvage.

VESSEL LAUNCH

CROSS-BORDER ROLE FOR NEW SURVEY BOAT The hydrographic survey boat Harmonie has gone into service with the new Dutch-Belgian North Sea Port. Tom Todd takes a look at this first-in-class newbuild

North Sea Port was created last December through the merger of Zeeland Seaports in the Netherlands and the Ghent Port Company in neighbouring Belgium. In service since March, the 15.09m by 4.74m Dutch-built Harmonie is the first workboat for the new port.

Its job is monitoring the 60kms sea and river area forming the new port - from Vlissingen on the North Sea via Terneuzen at the mouth of the Scheldt, to Ghent - Belgium's third largest port - 40 kms inland, upriver and across the border.

INSPECTION DUTIES Not surprisingly, Harmonie is described as “a real jack-of-alltrades”. Its main task is to sound and survey the port's docks and harbours as well as the Wielingen Fairway off Vlissingen, where it has a fixed berth. Tidal harbours and docks en route silt up rapidly and are inspected six times a year. Twice annually is usual for the other harbours and docks. Also on Harmonie's job list are soundings where dredging maintenance work is under way and during new port construction projects. All kinds of inspection and traffic guidance work is also expected of the boat along with deployment on commercial tours and in emergencies.

Harmonie replaces a 42 year old local vessel and North Sea Port says just one boat in multi-functional operation for a oneoff investment cost of €925,000 makes good economic sense.

Given the work scope, distances involved and regular downtimes, it will be interesting to see how well it copes on its own. For now however, a second newbuild “is not yet in the picture”, a source said.

PROFILER CLASS Harmonie was built by the Dutch New Generation Shipyards and is the first in a new class designed for coastal and inland water work. Yard Managing Director Albert Keizer told Maritime Journal its development began three years ago. The idea, he said, was to develop “an innovative, modern series of functional and stable sailing vessels”. The result is the Profiler Class now available in four sizes - 15.00m, 16.6m, 19.9m, and 25.5m.

One main design characteristic is the continuous deep V-hull with twin screw 65mm shafts built by the yard with propellers from Exalto. Propulsion is from two Volvo Penta D6 370hp engines in an engine room just below the stern working deck.

It is reached through that deck for major maintenance and via a fireproof interior door for daily maintenance. Harmonie also boasts comfortable crew quarters with galley, toilet and technical facilities.

NG Shipyards singled out the custom-built D-shaped foamfilled fenders for particular design mention. Made by Fender Innovations they make Harmonie especially easy to handle and have a stabilising effect in high seas, the Dutch yard said.

Hydrographic survey equipment was supplied by Denmark's Teledyne Reson and installed in co-operation also involving the yard and Zeeland Seaports. North Sea Port Asset Manager Nico Durinck told Maritime Journal the firm “had the best offer for the total picture”.

Nico van Woerkom at Teledyne Marine said an ultra-high resolution Sea Bat T50-R-INS20 multi-beam echosounder, a Teledyne Odom CV200 single-beam echosounder, sound velocity probe sensors from Valeport and Teledyne PDS2000 data acquisition and processing software were installed. The firm also supplied and installed the sonar blister unit, putting it into service and testing it, he said.

Albert Keizer underscored the specialist hydrographic expertise of NG Shipyards over more than twenty years of building and servicing hydrographic workboats. "It is our job to develop a platform on which hydrographic equipment can function completely. “The details are very important and disturbances in underwater acoustics ... have to be prevented," he said.

The navigation equipment on Harmonie was supplied by Navimar in Terneuzen. The firm's Adriaan van Os detailed two Sailor RT6210 VHF units, an Alphatron Class A AIS system, a Simrad AP60 autopilot with FU80 follow-up steering, and a Swiss Radar Precision Navigator 2 river radar Basic 7ft.

Keizer also mentioned a GSM module for bilge, temperature, battery condition and burglary alarm. Harmonie air conditioning came from Webasto and a Post Water heating system is installed, NG Shipyards said. All onboard components are described as easily accessible for maintenance and inspection.

MARINE RENEWABLES

MARINE ENERGY DEVICES ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has devised a new procedure to obtain more accurate costs for future marine energy parks, reports Andrew Williams

As team member Amable López Piñeiro, a researcher at UPM, explains, the key objective of the project was to develop a method to assess the life cycle cost of a power generation park based on marine energy devices. The work was initially prompted when partners in the OCEAN LIDER initiative - led by the Spanish utility Iberdrola, and focused on the development of GESMEY and Hive-TEC Tidal Energy Converters by the GITERM-UPM R&D Group - expressed an interest in evaluating the costs that arose during the project.

LEVELIZED COST In order to help in calculating these costs, Piñeiro reveals that the UPM team chose the popular LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) model - largely in view of the fact that it is the 'most widely model used in the field of renewable energies.'

"The key result of the project has been the allocation of more than 100 items into individual cost divisions - using numerical modelling specifically orientated towards investigating costs associated with use during the conceptual or basic design of the devices to harness marine energy," he says.

STRUCTURED ANALYSIS In addition to this creating this intricate segregation of cost elements, the Madrid team has also devised a novel procedure that is hoped marine energy developers can follow in order to gain a clearer understanding of the cost associated with their own individual designs and processes. According to Piñeiro, the procedure is based on what he calls the 'classic division' between CAPEX (capital expenditure) and OPEX (operating expenditure) costs.

"First, the manufacturing and assembly cost of each subsystem has been modelled - in most cases using a linear model of a parameter value multiplied by reference data completed with a more elaborate model for the main elements, such as rotor, generator, gear and so on," he says.

"Next, the installation cost of the devices in the offshore farm has been modelled, defining realistic installation procedures, with the help of simulation tools such as OrcaFlex and Matlab.

Then we calculate the costs associated with the facilities ships and technicians - necessary for each operation," he adds.

For Piñeiro, the most complex part of the model, which he points out is still undergoing improvements, is the analysis of maintenance costs - based on the 'definition of the maintenance strategy, with the costs of each operation and the reliability data of the equipment.'

"The calculation of the annual energy produced takes into account the energy histogram of the resource - tidal currents or waves - as well as the capacity factor of the device, its availability rate and the efficiency of the energy chain equipment from water to wire," he says.

THREE ADVANTAGES Generally speaking, Piñeiro believes there are three 'fundamental advantages' of the developed method. Firstly, it

uses a database of item costs obtained from the offshore wind sector that allows users to use a common reference point.

Secondly, it analyses these costs in a structured way 'that facilitates sensitivity analysis and identification of the aspects to be improved in a design' - and thirdly, it can be used in early design phases 'prior to the construction of the device.'

"This means the method can be used at both the low and medium TRL (Technology Readiness Level) stages of development," says Piñeiro.

Looking ahead, Piñeiro believes that the new procedures should prove to be of some assistance to marine energy developers when designing and developing energy devices.

"As soon as you have a conceptual design of a device, you should use it to analyse its annual energy production and its cost, comparing its cost profile with that obtained from other devices, in order, from the economic point of view, to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the new design," he adds.

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY FOR NEW PROJECT UK based energy company RedT Energy has been selected to be the 'primary energy storage technology provider for a large-scale tidal generation project' reports Andrew Williams At this stage, little detailed information about the exact nature of the European Union backed project is in the public domain - largely because the initiative remains subject to final financing arrangements and formal contract awards.

In recognition of this fact, a spokesperson for RedT Energy is understandably coy about the exact details of the scheme.

That said, the spokesperson does reveal that the project 'will aim to demonstrate the technical and financial feasibility of using tidal energy plus energy storage to provide reliable, renewable base load energy to the grid.'

"RedT has been selected as the primary energy storage supplier for the project and plans to supply a 0.6MW, 3MWh redT flow machine system," he says.

VANADIUM REDOX Shortly before the announcement, the company also confirmed that it had completed the design of the latest version of its vanadium redox flow cell which it says is slated for delivery in the second half of this year. In broad terms, these devices will be employed to support tidal generation at the site by storing the excess energy produced during the two daily tidal cycles.

The energy storage technology - which the company describes as a Vanadium Redox Flow Machine - features a 75kWh electrolyte tank coupled with three 5kW stacks that act as the overall 'engine' of the system. Each stack contains a permeable membrane that separates the positive and negative halves of each cell. Vanadium electrolyte from the positive tank is then pumped through the positive side of the stack - and vanadium electrolyte from the negative tank is pumped through the negative side of the stack. The result of this process is that the vanadium ions in the positive half-cell give up an electron.

Each of these electrons is then transferred over to the vanadium ions in the negative half-cell. The company describes this reversible chemical reaction as a 'redox reaction' - and, when complete, the system becomes fully charged. Upon discharge, the above reaction is reversed, and the opposite process takes place - causing electrical current to flow.

The energy storage technology which the company describes as a Vanadium Redox Flow Machine features a 75kWh electrolyte tank coupled with three 5kW stacks that act as the overall 'engine' of the system INDUSTRIAL ENERGY STORAGE In the spokesperson's view, one of the main advantages of using the energy storage technology for this - and other - tidal energy projects, is the fact that the redT machines are what he describes as 'non-degrading, industrial energy storage infrastructure, as opposed to traditional short lifespan, disposable batteries, which typically use lithium or other chemistries.'

26 | MAY 2018

"The non-degrading aspect is a key advantage given the fact that tidal generation requires two cycles each day - which constitutes very heavy usage and would render traditional technologies unusable after a few years," he says.

"RedT systems - by comparison - can operate with minimal maintenance for 25 years or more, matching the life of the generation assets themselves," he adds.

In general terms, the RedT spokesperson is also keen to stress that the company continues to be diligent in its work focused on creating what he describes as 'new and innovative business cases for energy storage both in the UK and abroad.'

Over the next few years, he is also very confident that tidal will 'continue to grow as a base load energy generation technology.' That said, in order to 'fully unlock tidal as a 24 hour base load,' he argues that new energy projects will require 'heavy daily cycling energy storage, which is what flow machines do perfectly.'

"Once this case is proven, we would expect tidal developers to embrace flow machine energy storage technology as these projects roll out across the world," he adds.

EOLINK ONE TENTH SCALE PROTOTYPE INSTALLED The prototype of an innovative floating wind turbine has been installed at sea off the coast of France, writes Dag Pike.

The concept, designed and patented by EOLink, is a one tenth size version of a full scale unit and the installation is part of a programme of testing and evaluation prior to the installation of production units.

The EOLink unit is fitted to a rectangular floating base that is constructed in concrete. It is moored with a single point mooring that is claimed to simplify the installation and maintenance and to reduce the costs. The tower is fastened to this base and instead of the single tubular tower that is commonly used, the EOLink tower is formed from four struts in a pyramid form to support the turbine at the top.

These struts are profiled to a shape that it is claimed will cause the float to head up into the wind at all times so that the unit automatically weather vanes without the need for sensors. This is also claimed to reduce the maintenance costs so that the unit performs without any adjustment. EOLink claims that the design of the structure will reduce the possibility of fatigue caused by vibrations particularly those that can be found at the base of single tower turbines.

8 The EOLink unit is fitted to a rectangular floating base that is constructed in concrete

The installation site for this prototype is off the coast of Brittany and it is connected to the shore grid for the collection of the electric power generated. The project and installation have been supported by the Region Bretagne authorities and by Ifremer the French research organisation.

The company claims that the unit offers improved electricity production thanks to a high availability rate using redundant systems such as a multi-phased synchronous direct drive generator, a twin-pitch system and a plug-in electric layout. Also claimed is a decrease in wind farm capital expenditure thanks to its structure which can sustain turbines up to 200 metres in diameter and 10MW generators.

Prior to the installation of this unit in offshore conditions it has been fully evaluated in a test tank. Tested in a wide variety of wind and sea conditions, the unit is said to have still maintained its heading into the wind in the worst conditions when the wind and the waves were at right angles to each other.

WAVE GENERATING COMPANIES PULL THE PLUG

‘‘

I am sad that vast public investment into a viable wave energy industry which could still have been world leading has been squandered. I feel that it is money that could have been more wisely invested BRIDGING THE GAP Original studies favoured the creation of the world's first offshore facility to test wave energy devices and "bridge the difficult gap between production prototypes and full commercial wave farms." The next stage of developing a functioning industry follows the 'proof of concept' stage, when companies need to scale up and make it a commercial proposition. As well as demanding more R&D to overcome the engineering challenges in a hostile environment, industry insiders reckon that this has become a political issue, especially as there is now zero subsidy in the offshore renewables sector.

Andrew Bristow, former boss of Seatricity believes the Wave Hub is conceptually flawed and located in the wrong place. He told the BBC: "Seatricity invested up to £2.5m of its own money into Cornwall to develop a wave energy device which we

proved works . . . while receiving not a penny of public funding support." Seatricity was intending to plug in an array of its Oceanus pressurised seawater devices to generate 10MW of electricity but the company's private investors have backed out.

INVESTMENT SQUANDERED Mr Bristow added: "I am sad that vast public investment into a viable wave energy industry which could still have been world leading has been squandered. I feel that it is money that could have been more wisely invested."

Carnegie has stated that grant support and the feed-in tariff support for wave energy had been removed over the last two years "and that has led to the situation we have today where we have a world-class piece of infrastructure in Cornwall and no wave technologies like Carnegie operating". The company said wave energy resources were "exceptional" in the UK and local expertise was "world leading" but they receive better support in their home country.

Wave Hub has declared the wave energy business was "unfortunately taking longer to develop" than anticipated but it was "delighted" Irish firm Ocean Energy Ltd (OEL) is expected to deploy a full-scale device at the hub. "We are also looking to diversify use of the site by applying for consent to install a single floating offshore wind demonstrator."

In addition, the only company that has installed functioning equipment at Cornwall's Wave Hub has dismissed the 10-year old scheme as a 'sinkhole'. Wave Hub, a £42m undersea electrical socket was installed 16km off Hayle in 2010 to test up to four wave energy devices with capacity to produce 48MW, but has not yet generated any electricity.

In December 2016, MJ reported that the Australian company Carnegie Wave Energy would be commissioning their CETO 'submerged buoy' project some time this year, delivering 15MW of electricity in 2020, powering up to 6,000 homes in its early stages. However, Carnegie, which was awarded a £9.55m grant from the European Regional Development Fund, will continue developing its technology in Australia and will not be returning to Cornwall soon. The mainly Scandinavian consortium Wello Penguin have also returned to their previous development site in Orkney, while an American company Gwave, due to plug a large-scale device into Wave Hub this summer, has postponed its involvement for at least two years.

The former boss of Seatricity, the only home-grown and selffunded operator, has declared the scheme could turn out to be an expensive 'white elephant' and an 'economic sinkhole'.

The scheme was financed by the European Regional Development Fund Convergence Programme (£20m) with £12.5m from the South West of England Regional Development Agency (SWERDA) and £9.5m from the UK Government. It is managed by Cornwall Council.

PIONEERING STUDY FINDS SEABIRDS AVOID TURBINES The Offshore Renewables Joint Industry Programme (ORJIP) has released findings from what it says is the world's most comprehensive investigation into seabird behaviour and collision risk around offshore wind farms.

The Bird Collision Avoidance Study is the first of its kind employing a multi-sensor monitoring system, combining human observer-based tracking with a system that automatically recorded seabird movements, at a working offshore wind farm in the English Channel. Radars were also used to record data 24 hours a day for two years.

COLLABORATIVE STUDY The multimillion pound, collaborative study was commissioned by 11 leading offshore wind developers, The Crown Estate, The Crown Estate Scotland and Marine Scotland, was supported with funding from the UK Government and was managed by the Carbon Trust. The project was developed and run with the support and advice from the UK and Northern Europe's leading ornithologists and environmental advisors such as Natural England and RSPB. During the two years of fieldwork a significant number of videos were recorded at a representative area of Vattenfall's Thanet offshore wind farm, one of the largest in UK waters. This resulted in the analysis of over 600,000 videos, of which only 12,131 contained evidence of bird activity and only six collisions with turbines were observed. The analysis revealed that collision risk of seabirds was less than half of what would be expected based on current understanding. During the study seabirds were observed to exhibit avoidance behavior and change their flight path to avoid the turbines.

‘‘

This pioneering study, hosted at Vattenfall’s Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, is a significant step forward in our understanding of the way in which seabirds avoid offshore wind turbines, and comes at a crucial time as the next generation of wind turbines are designed and developed

8 The multimillion pound, collaborative study was managed

by The Carbon Trust

The conclusions from this research on collision risk will allow better informed wind farm design and consent decisions just as the next generation of more powerful offshore turbines are being tested and manufactured. As a result the research will support UK Government plans to rapidly and sustainably grow the offshore wind sector by 2030.

The research was designed to generate robust, empirical evidence on the levels of avoidance behaviour and collisions to improve collision risk models. This will provide greater certainty on the true impact of offshore wind farms on seabirds and the mitigation measures required.

Piers Guy, UK Country Manager, Vattenfall said: “This pioneering study, hosted at Vattenfall's Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, is a significant step forward in our understanding of the way in which seabirds avoid offshore wind turbines, and comes at a crucial time as the next generation of wind turbines are designed and developed. This research will support UK Government plans to rapidly and sustainably grow the offshore wind sector by 2030.”

PROVIDING EVIDENCE To obtain planning consent for an offshore wind development the planning inspectorate needs to consider the risk of environmental impacts, as well as any mitigation measures proposed by a developer. The developer needs to provide evidence of how seabirds will behave within and around the farm. In order to quantify bird collision risk with turbines, collision risk models (CRM) are used to estimate this impact. Although extensive studies have looked at migratory patterns and behaviour of seabirds around offshore wind farms, until now there was only limited evidence to substantiate their actual behaviour.

MARINE CIVILS

PREDICTING THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE OF SEVERE STORMS

Sea walls are designed to protect people, property and infrastructure from large waves that can occur when a severe storm happens at the same time as a high tide. When planning sea defences, a lot of data must be gathered in order to understand the potential hazards that might occur from the overtopping of these defences for many years to come.

However, the field experiments used to gather this information can be costly, as well as limited in the amount of data they can provide.

Many countries with a sea border need man-made defences to protect them from coastal hazards such as flooding. In the UK, over 3,000 kilometres of coastline are defended, particularly in seaside towns and cities, like Crosby in the North West of England, whose 900-metre long sea wall is nearing the end of its design life.

Existing prediction methods, such as EurOtop, are used to test suitable sea wall designs. The methods do this by predicting the average 'overtopping hazard' for each design, that is, they estimate the total volume of water that may come over the wall during storm conditions. The accuracy of these tools is assessed by checking outputs against measurements of overtopping during storms. Field experiments have previously used large tanks placed behind the sea wall to catch the water that comes over it. Not only can such experiments be costly and difficult to do, but crucially, they are unable to provide information on the speed of the water that overtops: an important factor for public safety.

This lack of measurements means that there is currently uncertainty in the prediction of these hazards, and this can result in sea defences being overdesigned to have large safety margins, which can mean they cost much more than they need to.

Dr Jennifer Brown Principal Investigator, NOC, explained: “The WireWall system works by employing a 3-dimensional grid of capacitance wires that sense contact with saltwater. This signal will be used to measure the volume and speed of overtopping at vulnerable locations along the length of the sea wall at Crosby.”

Dr Tim Pullen, Principal Engineer in Coastal Structures at HR Wallingford, and lead author of the EurOtop guidance manual,

A new NERC-funded research project aims to take a low-cost instrument previously used to measure waves in the open ocean, and convert it into a system - WireWall - that can more confidently assess coastal overtopping hazards, and so help to optimise future sea wall design

8 The WireWall project team set up experiments in a flume at HR Wallingford's physical modelling laboratories

said: “We are using one of the flumes in our physical modelling laboratories to test different wire configurations in a prototype frame. To assure the accuracy of the measurements, known wave and storm conditions for the site at Crosby are being recreated at a scale of 1:15 in the flume so that the system can be calibrated before it is deployed in the field.”

Dr Brown added: “We hope that the initial use of WireWall at Crosby will lead to the development of an overtopping monitoring system that could ultimately be integrated into new coastal schemes, as part of the UK's regional coastal monitoring programmes. A national dataset, obtained by WireWall, could provide an evidence base to assess the effectiveness of shoreline management policies and schemes used in support of flood hazard management. This would enable long-term cost savings in the implementation of further new defence schemes around the country.”

Partners involved in the WireWall project are: the National Oceanography Centre, Channel Coastal Observatory, HR Wallingford, Sefton Council, The Environment Agency, Balfour Beatty and Marlan Maritime Technologies.

WILLIAMS SHIPPING TRANSPORTING 82M WIND TURBINE BLADES Southampton, UK-based marine & transport business, Williams Shipping, has started working on a contract to transport 82m offshore wind turbine blades for wind energy specialists MHI Vestas MHI Vestas is a joint venture between Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Vestas Wind Systems. Its V164 offshore wind turbines are among the world's most powerful, with a nameplate capacity of up to 9.5 megawatts. Blades have been manufactured at their facility on the Isle of Wight since 2015, with serial production commencing in 2017. The facility is expected to produce around 150 blades per year.

In 2017 MHI Vestas announced plans to re-purpose part of a decommissioned power plant near Southampton into a stateof-the-art painting and logistics facility for the blades.

Moving and handling these immense items presents some unique challenges. At 82m long the blades cannot be transported by road and are instead transported by barge: from the Isle of Wight, to the painting facility, and then on to international docks for shipping overseas.

To carry out this task, a special design of blade transport barge was created. Self-powered, this 76m barge, Blade Runner Two, is designed to work in the shallow waters around the Solent, with an unloaded draught of 0.65m and a loaded draft of just 0.75m.

As well as managing operation of the vessel, Williams will also be managing the stevedoring with cranes installed at local sites on the Isle of Wight, Fawley and Portsmouth Docks.

Williams Shipping is a marine and logistics company which has been based in Southampton for over 120 years. Its marine services include charter of vessels and barges, towage and port services.

Philip Williams, Director of Marine at Williams Shipping commented: “We're really pleased to get started on this contract. We have spent some time getting all the equipment and people set up and the arrival of the blade barges was the

final stage. MHI Vestas' ongoing investment has been great for the area and we are glad we can play a part in building the wind energy industry on the south coast.”

Vestas V164 turbines are used in a number of offshore wind farms around the world including Burbo Bank, off the coast of Liverpool. The blade running contract runs for two years initially, but is expected to be ongoing.

8 MJ’s ‘Captain Cardboard’ reports for duty

MJ throws down the cardboard gauntlet Maritime Journal, Europe's foremost commercial marine industry B2B magazine, has announced that it will be entering a vessel into the Seawork International Cardboard Boat Regatta on the 4th of July and is challenging all comers to compete against it.

Jake Frith, Editor of Maritime Journal and Project Manager for the high tech build was keeping the design details closely under wraps: “The first challenge here is that we have allowed ourselves just two hours to complete the build from start to finish (excluding hat fabrication). There will certainly be a frenzy of scissors, parcel tape and cardboard at Spinnaker House one afternoon in late June. In order to achieve this somewhat optimistic target, we have a few time saving tricks up our sleeve, all of which are set to induce gasps (or

something) from the assembled crowd when we present our proud ship to the world.

“In an early crew related tip-off, I can also share the exciting news that part of our vessel's paddling power is likely to be provided by former Waterski Champion Dave Perratt, who is rumoured to possess the upper body strength of a young chimpanzee.”

The charity Atlantic Pacific International Rescue Boat Project are managing the Cardboard Boat Regatta, they are a not-forprofit NGO with a simple purpose: to provide lifeboats where there are none. All Seawork exhibitors will receive one ticket to the Regatta, Waterfront Saloon, Live Music and American themed Bar & Cookout in their Welcome Pack. Additional tickets (which include food) can be purchased for £10.

Frith concluded: “While the MJ team will of course offer a good race to anyone who dares line up against us on the day, we particularly look forward to humiliating any of our valued clients who are also exhibiting at Seawork.”

The Seawork 4th of July celebration takes place on Wednesday 4th July from 5pm 8pm. See www.seawork.com for more details.

SEAWORK EXHIBITOR SHOWCASE PropSpeed

FOULING-RELEASE PRODUCTS ON SHOW Grapefruit Coatings will feature fouling-release products from RENOLIT MARITIME and Propspeed at this year’s Seawork International on stand PG37.

RENOLIT Dolphin S offers an alternative to conventional antifouling paint. The product is a biocide-free, high-quality fluoropolymer fouling release film, which is composed of a fluro-polymer coating and works by giving the hull an

ultra-smooth finish that organisms have difficulty sticking to.

Propspeed is a biocide-free, eco-friendly coating which can be applied to running gear to help improve performance, fuel costs and to ultimately prevent marine growth from sticking to the surface for 1-2

years! The foul release coating system is made up of a two component etching primer, followed by a clear silicone based coat, providing a super smooth outer layer. Being the sole UK distributor for Propspeed, we have built up a nationwide network of trained & approved applicators.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

JACK-UP PLATFORM INNOVATION SAVES TIME AND COST Fugro claims that its leading expertise in over-water geotechnical characterisation has saved time, cost and congestion during riverbed assessment for London's major sewer upgrade, the Thames Tideway Tunnel

e t d h W

G

952

The global geoscience company recently completed two site investigation campaigns for Ferrovial Agroman and Laing O'Rourke, the consortium undertaking construction of the project's central section for client, Tideway. Over a sevenmonth period work has included drilling, downhole geophysics and testing to depths of 80 metres to provide ground risk and engineering data along a 10-kilometre stretch of the river.

Efficiency in cycle-time and river transit was crucial in delivering information from over 40 borehole and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) locations in tidal waters to suit the phasing of planning and design. The programme involved 55 bridge manoeuvres negotiating 12 of the Thames' most famous, but also structurally diverse bridges, between Blackfriars and Wandsworth.

Fugro designed, manufactured and installed adaptations to the Skate 2D jack-up barge allowing leg handling and leg storage to be carried out by a single, self-equipped vessel, in addition to carrying a full suite of geotechnical drilling, sampling and testing equipment capable of being mechanically folded.

Using engineering proven on global marine projects, Fugro technicians reconfigured the platform deck to accommodate a centrally located, high capacity crane. This provided the capability to self-lift the jack-up legs between a storage cradle on the stern of the vessel and positions at the platform jacking corners to allow execution of height restricted bridge manoeuvres. The solution eliminated the need for a support barge and crane to install, remove and transport the legs when passing under bridges.

Having used the self-removing leg system to reduce jackup height and enable bridge manoeuvres on previous Thames projects, Fugro believes that the addition of the onboard storage cradle is a first for a modular jack-up undertaking geotechnical work on the river.

Matt Chappell, a specialist in nearshore site investigation at Fugro, said: “Our uniquely designed, self-contained platform simplified logistical and health and safety management risks for the complex transits and bridge manoeuvres, improving efficiency and reducing supply chain risk. It also reduced the cost to the client by eliminating the need for a support barge, together with associated standing time incurred from tidal delays.” Disruption to river traffic was also minimised.

Shawn Sismondi, senior geotechnical engineer for Ferrovial Agroman, said: “The Skate 2 proved well suited to dealing with London's various challenges. As well as bridge transits, its ability to safely undertake ground investigation in close proximity to tunnels, river walls and heliports was extremely useful.”

Working in challenging intertidal waters, Fugro barge masters drew on their substantial experience to achieve problem-free jack-up and preloading operations in the highly variable geology, avoiding leg penetration and punch-through risks in the challenging riverbed formations.

A total of 25 boreholes were drilled using a combination of cable percussive, rotary and directional methods to depths ranging between 25 and 79 metres. A programme of downhole

geophysics and in situ testing provided further, high resolution geological and geotechnical data. Cone penetration testing was carried out at 19 locations, many of which used the seismic piezocone to deliver key information on geotechnical parameters.

The complex work demanded high levels of competence from Fugro's team, including geotechnical engineers trained and experienced in London Basin logging. Team members also completed Tideway's progressive health and safety induction, EPIC, which is championing a rigorous safety culture for workers on the project.

One of the UK's biggest civil engineering projects, the £4.2 billion Thames Tideway will incorporate 25 km of tunnelling to update London's ageing sewer system for modern needs.

Fugro's comprehensive expertise in nearshore and inter-tidal site investigation has made it a long-trusted partner on numerous Thames projects. They include: Garden Bridge, London Gateway, Putney-Becton Sewage Tunnel, the London Array, Canary Wharf, Royal Terrace Pier, and other current contracts at Tilbury Power Station, Tilbury Docks, and the Oikos Jetty (Canvey Island).

PORT, HARBOUR & MARINE CONSTRUCTION

‘HARBOUR OF THINGS’ TAKES SHAPE IN THE PORT OF ANTWERP With an annual freight volume of nearly 9 million TEU the Deurganck dock is by far the main centre of container handling in the port of Antwerp. But this tidal dock on the left bank of the Scheldt is also well on the way to becoming a hotspot for innovation 8 Deurganck dock, Antwerp has an annual freight volume of nearly 9 million TEU

Thanks to a 'smart quay' and an automatic sounding boat, shipping operations and berth maintenance in Antwerp's largest dock will become a good deal more efficient. “The smart quay will enable us to make more efficient use of the berths available in the dock. And the automatic sounding boat will also make berth management more effective and proactive, with the emphasis on prevention rather than cure,” explains Piet Opstaele, Innovation Enablement Manager for the Port Authority.

In ways such as these Antwerp is laying the foundations for the 'smart harbour', the port of the future where smart technologies are used to make both land-side and water-side operations more efficient. “The smart harbour in turn forms part of the 'Capital of Things' that was rolled out last year by the City of Antwerp in collaboration with the Port Authority, the University of Antwerp and the innovation specialist imec. This took our ambitions to a whole new level, with the first practical initiatives coming on line just a few months after signature of the agreement,” Opstaele continues.

SMART PARKING Ships arriving in the port are now assigned a specific berth number on the quayside. “You can compare it with a car that enters a paying car park where there are designated parking spaces. If you park outside the boundaries of your allotted space then you are taking up not just one but two slots, thus reducing the overall capacity of the car park.”

Hence the idea of equipping the quay with cameras and sensors to check automatically whether the vessel is correctly berthed or not. In practice a section of quay on the North-West side of the Deurganck dock has initially been fitted with these devices. The pilot project will run for six months and will cover barges as well as seagoing ships.

“A large part of this maritime infrastructure is under water, which makes it very difficult to inspect. It frequently happens that we notice that something is wrong when it's already too late, for instance if a lock gate refuses to operate. Diagnosing the fault and carrying out the necessary repairs means that the lock has to be temporarily closed, thus interfering with port operations.

We want to reduce such situations to the absolute minimum.”

The Port Authority is calling upon various technologies for the necessary smart maritime inspections. The first is Waterview, by analogy with Google's Streetview. This extensive database of photographs of quay walls, fenders, bridges etc. will make it possible to detect damage sooner, so that it can also be repaired more quickly. Another technology is the automatic sounding boat which will be making its way around the Deurganck dock after the end of the summer, taking soundings in the commercial berths.

SMART PORT HOUSE VISITS As of this autumn, visitors to Port House will be able to add an extra dimension to their tour of the Port Authority's headquarters, with the addition of augmented reality and laser projection that are currently under development.

USV SHALLOW WATER SURVEY FOR SPANISH PORT Hydrographic surveying in very shallow water can be very challenging with a high chance of equipment damage and personnel injury reports Dag Pike

In these locations, traditional manned survey vessels are not suited to the task often because of draft or underwater obstacles so this was the challenge facing Unmanned Survey Solutions when asked to survey a river area in Tarragona, Spain. For this project they were supported with hardware from Swathe Services.

Located close to Barcelona, the Port of Tarragona was looking to expand its Darsena di Francoli basin further up the river Riu Francoli that flows into the port. The port authority required an initial bathymetric survey and appraisal of a previously uncharted section of this river to assess the site for potential future development. The requirement was for subdecimetre horizontal positioning accuracy and decimetre depth accuracy. The area comprised extremely shallow sections with submerged rocks, extensive sections of weeds and other hazards so the recently developed Interception class USV from Swathe Services was brought in for the task.

The USS Inception class USV has been developed specifically to cope with surveys in the ultra-shallow water sector. This unmanned hydrographic survey vessel is composed of tough aluminium hulls plus weed cutting propellers in the electric propulsion systems and the option of a variety of payloads. Its lightweight modular design allows for easy transport, mobilisation, deployment and recovery which was necessary for this project with the only suitable site for launching the USV being from a small pontoon.

The payload incorporated a CEE Hydrosystems Cee-Scope, which is a combined single beam echo sounder, a real time kinematic capable Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and a telemetry system. Data was transmitted in real-time back to the shore base where it was recorded in the Hypack survey

The area comprised extremely shallow sections with submerged rocks, extensive sections of weeds and other hazards so the recently developed Interception class USV from Swathe Services was brought in for the task software. Corrections to the RTK GPS were transmitted from a shore base station setup over an existing nearby benchmark.

The start of the survey was delayed by a rare storm surge before the equipment could be deployed. Once deployed, the USV was remotely piloted from shore with the aid of the Hypack navigation display. At a survey speed of less than 2.5 knots, the total linage required to provide sufficient coverage of the 150,000m2 area was completed within 3 days in depths of less than 50cm in some areas.

NYK to build car logistics terminal at Yarimca The major Turkish company Oyak has set up a joint venture with the Japanese shipping company NYK Line to build a vehicle terminal at the Turkish port of Yarimca reports Dag Pike.

The new terminal which will be called Oyak Port, is located 90km south-east of Istanbul and it will be jointly owned with Oyak having 55% and NYK 45%. The cost of this project is estimated at $110 million.

The facility will have a yard area covering 180,000sqm, with enough storage for 8,000 vehicle units, and also provide pre-delivery inspection services. It is expected to have an initial annual capacity for 780,000 vehicles, which if met would make it one of the top 10 European vehicle handling ports. There will be two berths for car carrying ships along side the facility with the overall quay length being 539 metres. The depth of water

44 | MAY 2018

alongside this quay will be between 12 and 14 metres allowing access at all times.

This new car terminal is being constructed on the eastern side of the existing port facility at Yarimca which is owned and operated by DP World. This is one of the largest container terminals in Turkey with a capacity of 1.3 million TEU per year and a depth alongside of 16 metres. This terminal was opened in 2016 with the eastern side remaining vacant.

NYK will participate in the port's construction, and the new terminal will be the first large terminal that is located in the suburbs of Istanbul and dedicated to finished cars. Operations are scheduled to commence in the middle of 2019, and high quality services such as PDI will be offered.

Combining Oyak Port's business base and NYK's expertise in automobile transportation

and terminal management, the new joint venture will be positioned to respond to demand in an area where finished-car imports and exports are expected to rise.

Koichi Chikaraishi, NYK Automotive Group president stressed his company was delighted to be part of the investment, which he anticipated forming part of a long-term cooperation. He added that the shipping line is committed to integrating its logistics services, which could also be offered to other sectors outside the automotive business.

IRISH HARBOUR IMPROVEMENTS

Heavy duty pontoons Marine Designs Ltd has a range of steel and concrete pontoons and gangways which can be installed to suit the specific requirements of your project. The high freeboard pontoons are specifically designed for commercial vessel operations, including, ferries, tugs, workboats and crew transfer.

The Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed, has approved a €27.9m Capital Investment Package for the ongoing development of Ireland's publicly owned fishery harbour network, Dag Pike reports.

The Annual Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Programme provides funding for safety, maintenance and new development works at the six fishery harbour centres at Howth, Dunmore East, Castletownbere, Dingle, Ros an Mhíl and Killybegs which account for 82% of all quota fish landings into Ireland.

The primary function of the Fishery Harbour Centres is to underpin the ongoing development of the sea fisheries and seafood processing sectors while also facilitating other diverse marine related activities.

QUAY EXTENSION The main project in this funding will be the Dinish Island quay extension at Castletownbere which has €7million allocated this year. This project is designed to double the size of the quay space and to extend the breakwater at this major fishing port located in the southwest of Ireland.

At Ros an Mhil located in Galway Bay on the West Coast, close to €1/2 million has been allocated for a new slipway and a smaller sum for the initial preparation work on the construction of a

deep water quay for the fishing fleet that will include a reclaimed land area.

This will provide 200 metres of alongside berthing. Close to €1 million has been allocated for work at Howth on the East Coast for the construction of an additional berthing face to the Middle Pier and for dredging works alongside the pier. €1.2 million has been allocated to Phase 2 of the Killybegs Smooth Point expansion and the Landing Pier upgrade which will provide additional berthing for the fishing fleet.

ALLOCATED The Minister said “I have set aside almost €2.47m towards safety, maintenance and development works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres and at North Harbour, Cape Clear which is also owned by my Department.

I have also allocated €2m for a Local Authority Harbour Development and Marine Leisure programme to assist coastal Local Authorities in the repair and development of piers, harbours and slipways under their ownership.”

Applications for 50% co-funding from the European Fishery Expansion Fund have been submitted and this will facilitate the harbour expansion work.

VIBRO LIFTING TOOL DRIVES 6.5M MONOPILE 24 METRES Cape Holland has recently achieved another milestone with its Vibro Lifting Tool (VLT) on the Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam.

A 6.5m diameter monopile was successfully upended and driven to target penetration. Free hanging from the Matador 3 of Bonn and Mees the VLT only needed a net driving time of 15 mins to get the 330t weighing monopile to a penetration depth of 24m. Without any other tool, gripper or installation frame the pile ended up at 0.05° verticality which was well within the set tolerance. For this project, CAPE Holland used a Tandem configuration of the CV-320 VLT-U with a total of 640kgm. The VLT proved an ideal tool to drive the test pile to sufficient depth to place the 700t Blue Piling Hammer on top ready for the inshore testing program.

Dutch vibro-piling specialist Cape Holland has successfully developed the application of vibro-hammers for offshore purposes and claims it has been leading the way in using multiple linked vibro-hammers in both Offshore Wind and the Oil & Gas industry.

In the past years Cape has created and built multiple Vibro Lifting Tools, the latest development for reducing the cost of installation and noise emissions. The VLT is a

Lloyd's Register certified lifting appliance, which can be configured with an upending option. This can significantly save on the installation time by reducing the number of handling operations.

The VLT is able to pick up a stored pile (up to 1600t), upend it to a vertical position, lift it to the correct position and drive it down (correcting verticality while driving if necessary) in one

single handling operation without the need of a gripper or seabed installation frame. Due to the modular design the equipment can be deployed for the installation of a large range of piles, from small anchor piles to very large XXL Monopiles and anything in between.

Since 2014, Cape Holland has become part of the FG Offshore Group, a privately held UKheadquartered company with offices in Europe, the Gulf of Mexico, South East Asia, India and the Middle East for rapid deployment of specialist grouting and piling equipment. The group comprises FoundOcean Ltd and Cape Holland.

DIVING & UNDERWATER SERVICES

HYBRID AUV-ROV HAS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS “A ROV is a strictly tethered vehicle, so there's a range issue,” said Dan Vandeweile of Aquabotix. It can't slip the leash and move too far away from the surface vessel but it can allow high definition video to be seen on the ship above On the other hand, “an AUV you can throw in the water and it will collect data for you - but although you do have some basic navigation tracking via a USBL or DVL link, data is pretty limited as it doesn't have that physical connection”, he explained.

“So,” he said, “We saw a gap in the market for something that could take on both roles.”

In AUV mode the Integra can roam alone via set waypoints or covering a broad area in a “mowing the grass” pattern, using wide-beam or multibeam sonar said Aquabotix Chief Development Officer Ted Curley. On finishing it will come back to the mothership with a list of locations of interest.

Then, when it comes to a fully focused investigation, it can be switched to ROV mode which gives a full 1080px video, narrow beam sonar and so on: “With the tether you can you can actually see everything in real time, as it happens,” he explained.

‘‘

Integra is small enough that you might well want to deploy it from a Zodiac, where there's no room for a generator However, this hybrid vehicle will also be fitted with other devices tailored to the task in hand. “The challenge is that even though sensors and so on are getting smaller, it's a bit like the kitchen sink... everyone wants to throw something into it,” he said. Just as tricky is that people ask to take these sensors off again: one Japanese customer wanted to both mount and dismount its own sonar device: Aquabotix found a way to integrate it while retaining the ability to swap the kit out again.

Although it can be powered with a line from the surface while tethered “Integra is small enough that you might well want to deploy it from a Zodiac, where there's no room for a generator” said Curley. So Integra's AUV and ROV modes both

8 The KIGAM team with Ted Curley, holding their new Integra AUV-ROV

have roughly a four hour or eight-hour duty cycle when running from a single or twin battery pack, depending on payload.

It's a cost-effective alternative: the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) recently became the first customer for the Integra hybrid. “They are a research organisation with a limited budget... the Integra is competitively priced and having one, not two machines saves them money,” he concluded.

Ashtead adds SPRINT-Nav to rental fleet Global subsea equipment specialist, Ashtead Technology has selected acoustic and inertial navigation technology from Sonardyne International Ltd. to add to its rental fleet.

The multiple SPRINT-Nav systems will be made available to support survey and construction projects using ROVs and AUVs in water depths down to 4,000 metres.

SPRINT-Nav makes optimal use of acoustic aiding from data sources including USBL, sparse LBL and DVL and pressure sensors to improve the accuracy, precision and reliability of subsea vehicle navigation.

48 | MAY 2018

Its all-in-one design tightly couples Sonardyne's SPRINT inertial and Syrinx Doppler technologies to enable marine robotic platforms to remain precisely on course over many kilometres travelled, even if one or two DVL beams become unavailable.

The compact design of SPRINT-Nav's titanium subsea housing is considered to be one of the smallest instruments of its type on the market. This ensures rapid and simple mobilisation on vehicles and an ideal choice for rental projects.

TELEDYNE GAVIA INTEGRATES MARINE MAGNETIC EXPLORER MAGNETOMETER Teledyne Gavia, manufacturer of the Gavia Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), has announced the integration of Marine Magnetics' Explorer AUV magnetometer.

The Explorer AUV magnetometer is a high accuracy omnidirectional sensor, which is towed behind the vehicle allowing it to operate outside the AUV's magnetic signature. The Explorer's exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, small size, low noise, and minimal power requirements make it a highly valuable tool that is ideally suited for use with AUVs. Dynamic and static testing of the Gavia AUV was conducted at Marine Magnetics' facility in Canada and near Teledyne Gavia's manufacturing facility in Kopavogur, Iceland to validate that the Explorer could measure variations in the magnetic field, rather than the influence of the Gavia moving through the water column. The trial ensured that the data was accurate and free of heading error that might obscure small targets. The testing produced the data set shown, which is smooth and free from stripping, a by-product of heading error. The pre and post-seeded surveys, completed on separate days, matched up perfectly.

The data illustrates the accuracy of both the Explorer

8 Images from left to right: Total field, pre-seeded, and post-seeded

magnetometer and the 3D positioning capabilities of the Gavia AUV, allowing the combined Gavia AUV Explorer Mag to locate all of the seeded targets.

The Marine Magnetics Explorer enables the Gavia AUV to combine high accuracy magnetic signature mapping along with Side Scan or Bathymetric survey data, Sub Bottom Profiler data, and still images, providing multiple detection levels of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), pipelines, buried objects, or shipwrecks.

SHIP & BOAT BUILDING

‘VISION OF THE FJORDS’ ALL ELECTRIC SISTERSHIP LAUNCHED Tourist ship owner and operator The Fjords has taken delivery of a vessel it believes sets new standards for environmentally responsible passenger transport

Future of The Fjords, a 42m long carbon fibre 400 passenger all-electric catamaran, will begin operation in mid-May, making around 700 yearly round trips along the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage listed fjord route between Flåm and Gudvangen. It is the first vessel of its kind to offer completely emission free transport through the beautiful, yet fragile, Western Norwegian landscape.

Future of The Fjords is the sister ship to Vision of The Fjords, a diesel electric hybrid launched to universal acclaim in 2016.

Although both ships are designed and constructed by Norwegian shipyard Brødrene Aa, with hulls that mirror the zigzagging mountain paths they sail beside, they are very different once you scratch the surface, as The Fjords CEO Rolf Sandvik explains: “Vision of The Fjords was an important development for us, but we had the ambition to take it one step further and replace the diesel electric propulsion with all-electric - thus eradicating all noise and emissions to air for the entire route. Future of The Fjords does just that, minimising its impact on the environment while maximising the experience of passengers who can now glide silently over the water and come closer to nature than ever before.”

The NOK 144 million vessel is propelled by two 450kW electric motors, enabling cruising speeds of 16 knots along the spectacular 90 minute each way voyage. In another first, The Fjords has, in partnership with Brødrene Aa, developed a unique charging solution called the Power Dock.

Owners Representative appointment for Mainprize Marine MAC has announced that it has secured its first contract with Mainprize Offshore Limited as Owners Representative, supplying build management and technical oversight on its next CTV, MO5.

Building a vessel is rarely smooth sailing but Marine MAC aims to make it so. The company will provide a good line of communication between the yard and Mainprize Offshore, reducing any delays to the build, while overseeing the installation of all systems on the vessel ensuring it is built in line with the contract, specification and rules.

Bob Mainprize from Mainprize Offshore added “Marine MAC has been fantastic in the contract stages and we look forward to them being our strategic partner in the build of MO5.

This is the first time we have had an exclusive and experienced owners representative.”

MO5 will be a high speed aluminium crew transfer vessel, 26m in length, built to BV Wind Farm Service Ship S1 and designed by

52 | MAY 2018

This 40m long, 5m wide floating glass fibre dock will sit in the water at Gudvangen, housing a 2.4 MWh battery pack. This charges steadily throughout the day via connection to the local grid network, which does not have the capacity to charge the Future of The Fjords directly. The innovative solution allows the vessel to stably, efficiently and cost effectively 'refill' in just 20 minutes.

The dock also stores consumables, fuel for sister vessels, and allows black water to be offloaded for treatment on land.

This makes Future of The Fjords the only passenger vessel not to discharge sewage directly into the fjords.

Walker Marine Design. James Walker of Walker Marine Design said "We're very much looking forward to the build of MO5 and having Marine MAC involved is going to improve efficiencies between the yard, Mainprize Offshore and ourselves. The design is different from the previous vessels and we're excited for the public to see it."

At the time of writing details such as the builder were still commercially sensitive and yet to be announced. Aluminium Marine Consultants on the Isle of Wight built Mainprize's MO4.

Air supported vessel demonstrator Danish composite workboat builder Tuco has launched a carbon sandwich Air Supported Vessel (ASV) Soft Motion Demonstrator in collaboration with Effect Ships International AS, of Norway.

The vessel is 18 x 5.2m and fitted out with two small Volvo Penta IPS 600 pod drives (2 x

8 Further testing of Tuco’s ASV will begin mid-August 2018

320kW). With the patented ASV concept the vessel "rides on a cushion of air", reducing wetted surface area and hull/water resistance to a minimum.

In early testing, the vessel has reached a speed of 37.2 knots (prior to any optimization work). Even more remarkable was the fuel consumption. At a speed of 25 knots, the total (propulsion and lift fan powering) fuel consumption was only three litres per nautical mile. Equally impressive was the fuel usage recorded at 30 knots speed - only 3.3 litres/NM. Tuco says that following in house debugging and documentation tests, due to start mid-August 2018, the vessel will be presented and demonstrated to the market.

SHIP & BOAT BUILDING

BREMEN NEWBUILD MEETS ECO STANDARDS German officials say a new ferry with mixed diesel and electric propulsion meets the same high eco-friendly standards as hybrid systems, reports Tom Todd

The ferry, the 59.91m long and 13.99m wide Farge, has just entered service with Bremen operator Fähren BremenStedingen (FBS). It is the latest of three operating FBS ferries and carries commuters and vehicles across the Weser.

The earlier ferries have six diesel engines but FBS Managing Director Andreas Bettray told Maritime Journal Farge has only three ScaniaType DI13 081M units. However in addition, he added, it has three Visedo Type PDR-Me-2100-T1900-DUAL diesel power generators which provide power to 52 Valence batteries driving four Schottel SRP 130 FP rudder propellers.

Farge can operate for periods on electric power alone and is described as quieter, less prone to vibrate and easier to manoeuver than earlier boats.

Bettray reported that a Vorkat Type LT-HD soot particle filtration unit and a Type SCR-HD emission reduction plant were also installed on Farge.

FBS said both fuel consumption and emissions were significantly reduced on the newbuilding. And the owners of Farge - the city of Bremen and the local administrative district of Wesermarsch - said its “innovative hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system corresponds to the high environment demands placed on hybrid propulsion systems”.

Bettray told Maritime Journal that Farge was “the first hybrid passenger-carrying ferry of its size in Germany” and added: “This newbuilding, with all its technical innovations, represents a special challenge for us and we are proud of the project”.

Farge displaces 200 tons and carries 30 cars or six trucks and 249 commuters. It was developed and built by the SET Shipyard

in Tangermünde on the River Elbe and its design has focussed on eco-friendly fuel-efficient operation.

The newbuilding is the most modern of three boats ordered and built by SET for the FBS and all have gone into service since 2011. The first of the three to be propelled by combined diesel and electric systems, Farge is not surprisingly reported to be the most expensive and is said to have cost €5.4 million. SET Managing Director Olaf Deter said “despite having some ideas in mind because of our yard's experience with the earlier ships, we still had to rethink a lot of things”.

8 Innovative Farge meets environmental demands

8 The ferry is scheduled to be in operation in Hordaland at the beginning of 2020

Oma Baatbyggeri building electric ferry Norwegian shipyard Oma Baatbyggeri is building an electrically powered car ferry under a contract signed with Norwegian transport major Boreal, Dag Pike reports..

For the yard, which has previously specialised in building fast catamaran ferries this will be its first electrically powered ferry and its first car ferry.

“For us this represents yard number 540, but this ferry is the first electrical ferry we will deliver. This is a brand new concept which is tailor-made according to new environmental regulations,” said the managing director of the shipyard, Gustav Oma. “The project is very exciting for us because it represents innovation and is a brand new concept.”

The ferry is scheduled to be in operation in Hordaland at the beginning of 2020. Boreal and Hordaland County Municipality represented by Skyss, signed a contract covering the operation of three ferry crossings in Hordaland

and this new electrical ferry will operate between Kinsarvik and Utne. “Oma Baatbyggeri is renowned for its high quality products and reliable delivery and has previously built several fast ferries for us. We are looking forward to cooperating with them on the build of this new ferry” commented Boreal chairman Kjetil Førsvoll.

The 42-metre-long ferry will be equipped with battery packs which can be re-charged from the national power grid at each terminal.

In addition, diesel generators will provide an emergency backup. The ferry has to meet stringent environmental requirements such as vastly reduced CO2 emissions and much improved energy efficiency.

“We are utilising new technology, which will save the environment and at the same time increase passenger comfort. The ferry connections will be operated with power from shore, creating substantial environmental

improvements, reducing CO2-emissions by 92 percent and achieving savings in overall energy consumption by 74 percent.” said Mr. Førsvoll.

The new ferry is a double ended ro-ro design with excellent seaworthiness and has been specially designed and equipped to assist people with disabilities including wide passageways and easy steps. Constructed in aluminium the 42 metre ferry has a beam of 11 metres and it can carry 80 passengers and 16 cars or if the cars are removed it can accommodate two semi-trailer trucks.

COMMERCIAL GRADE TUBE FIXINGS FROM TECHNIFAST The Team Britannia RIB will use an innovative commercial grade fixing and inserts to secure its massive inflatable tubes on its round the world record attempt later this year. The solution could be of interest to other commercial grade aluminium hulled RIB constructors 8 Team Britannia is a multi-million pound British bid to design and build the fastest and most fuelefficient semi-wave slicing powerboat to circumnavigate the globe

The fixings and inserts from Technifast have been specifically developed to allow the fitting of the two white tubes, which each weigh around 250kg, to the side of boat, without large numbers of people working on either side of the hull.

This is important as should either tube be damaged during the 23,000 nautical mile record attempt, the crew need to be able to replace the tubes without putting the vessel into a drydock. The announcement was made at the Aluminium Boatbuilding Company on Hayling Island, where the 80ft RIB is being built, by ocean racing legend and Team Britannia's skipper Alan Priddy and Technifast's Senior Engineer, John Garner.

Alan explained: “We encountered an issue attaching our two huge inflatable tubes to the port and starboard sides of the boat. The hull of the boat is constructed from 6mm aluminium plate, and the fixing plates for the tubes required M10 bolts to be used.

RISK OF STRIPPING “Tapping directly into the aluminium hull with M10 bolts would not be strong enough, as the softness of the aluminium material coupled with the constant slamming of the boat, would pose a risk of the bolts stripping the threaded aluminium and pulling out.

“If that was not enough, we needed a fitting that would allow the crew to remove and replace the tubes without having to take the boat out of the water.”

After conversations between Alan and Technifast's Senior Engineer, John Garner, a design was finalised for an insert, which would increase the holding strength in the aluminium, but still allow the M10 fixings to be used to hold the two tubes in place. Crucially, it will give the option to release the tubes quickly in an emergency and for easy replacement.

John Garner explained: “As soon as it became clear what Team Britannia were attempting to do we were delighted to offer our services and support as a partner to this record attempt.

“The new design, uses a larger metric external thread to give more surface area and better grip. We also removed all undercuts and extended the exterior thread length to ensure that every available millimetre of the insert will provide hold to the relatively thin and light hull of the boat.

‘‘

We encountered an issue attaching our two huge inflatable tubes to the port and starboard sides of the boat. The hull of the boat is constructed from 6mm aluminium plate, and the fixing plates for the tubes required M10 bolts to be used “The increased strength also means that the inserts only need to be installed at 750mm intervals over length of the boat, along the top of the hull with the holding plate bolted on. The tubes can then be attached and removed with relative ease.”

SIMPLE SOLUTION Once the fixings and inserts from Technifast are installed at 750mm intervals over length of the boat, along the top of the hull with the holding plate bolted on. The tubes can then be attached to complete the distinctive look.

Alan continued: “The bespoke solution developed by Technifast, is beautifully simple, practical and most importantly effective. Yet again we are pushing the boundaries to ensure we have a boat that is both light and incredibly tough. I am delighted to be working with another Great British company.”

The boat is a completely new design from Professor Bob Cripps, former Technical Director of VT Halmatic. It has been designed in the UK and is being constructed on Hayling Island out of marine-grade aluminium. It encompasses “an exceptionally efficient hull,” which will cut fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent. In addition to the hull design the vessel will be powered by a revolutionary fuel emulsion, a mixture of diesel, water and emulsifying agent from Clean Fuel Ltd. This will reduce harmful emissions such as particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide.

John Garner concluded: “We look forward to following their progress and wish them every success.”

SHIP & BOAT BUILDING

German boat builder Ophardt has added three high performance designs to its range of work boats, notes Dag Pike.

This builder has pioneered the use of automated construction methods for the construction of hulls in an effort to reduce costs and to speed up production and the yard offers a range of hull designs constructed this way either for other yards to outfit or for completion in house.

The three new designs have been developed

by Norson Design, a specialised company focussing on high performance. All are based on deep vee hulls using a unique system developed to facilitate the automated welding system. This involves the bottom plating made from strakes that overlap each other as they progress towards the chine thus forming the spray rails which are integral with the hull. All hulls are constructed from marine grade aluminium.

At present two sizes of hull have been developed, a 9.6 metre and a 12 metre. The smaller design features a single step deep vee hull whilst the larger one has three steps. At the bow there is a gentle rise with the chine almost reaching deck level. In standard form these hulls are fitted with a pronounced foam fender in RIB style but it is also possible to fit an inflatable tube in RIB style to the larger hull. The fuel tank is built into the hull and is adequate to

OPHARDT ADDS HIGH PERFORMANCE TO COMMERCIAL MARINE RANGE

offer these boats a significant range which can be over 350 miles on the larger hull.

Outboard power is the standard and the number and power of these is specified by the operator with up to three outboards being possible on the 12 metre. Standard brackets for mounting the outboards are bolted to the transom and these can be hydraulically adjusted.

The maximum speed potential of the 9.6 metre is 60 knots and for the 12 metre it is 70 knots.

8 The three new designs have been developed

by Norson Design, a specialised company focussing on high performance

The hulls can be fitted out for a variety of uses such as patrol and workboat operations.

This can include a simple control console up to a full enclosed wheelhouse and seating and equipment can be specified as required.

It is planned to offer a smaller 7 metre version to the range at a later date.

New partners have joined the Open Simulation Platform (OSP) initiative, which aims to create an open source digital platform which will allow the creation of so called 'digital twins' in the design of ships.

In July last year Rolls-Royce Marine, The Norwegian University of Technology Science (NTNU), research organisation SINTEF Ocean and classification society DNV GL signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the aim of creating an open source digital platform for use in the development of new ships.

Among the new Joint Industry Partners to join the OSP are Hyundai Heavy Industries, Kongsberg Digital, Vard and Offshore Simulator Centre.

The founding partners are inviting more participants to join to harness the possibilities that exist from working with so called “digital twins” A digital twin is a digital copy of a real ship, including its systems, which synthesizes the information available about the ship in a digital world. Using digital twins enable optimization of a ship's design, maintenance, production and sustainability throughout its entire lifecycle.

Jon Rysst, SVP and Regional Manager in DNV GL Maritime North Europe said: “OSP is a joint industry project where the goal is to establish a maritime industry standard for models and

‘DIGITAL TWINS’ APPROACH COULD CUT COSTS IN SHIPBUILDING

system simulation, a standard that will allow companies to reuse simulation models and construct digital twins of existing and future vessels in a safe and more cost-efficient way.”

The project partners will create a collaboration platform that is open for use by other parties, with core aspects built on an open source framework.

Ship designers, equipment and system manufacturers, yards, ship owners, operators, classification societies, research institutes and

academia are the typical participants that will benefit from innovating faster together. The platform is also being designed to support model libraries for storing simulated ship concepts, systems and equipment.

The OSP project is not starting from scratch. A prototype is now running with a simulated vessel and a DP system conducting a dynamic positioning operation.

SHIP & BOAT BUILDING

Southampton Marine Services is midway through a significant contract for Woods' Silver Fleet to build three huge pontoons for the river Thames.

The works amount to circa 750 tonnes of fully fabricated steel pontoons and over 5,000 man hours of specialised, local, labour in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. Chris Norman, the managing director of Southampton Marine Services said: “This project is of significance not only to SMS but also the local ship building community.”

The project has a timeline of approximately 18 months. The work includes three new-build pontoons measuring 55m by 10m, 64m by 6.5m and 77m by 6.5m with the respective steel weights of circa 200T, 250T and 300T. The final pontoon will be delivered later this summer. The methodology behind the build is specific to SMS's localised footprint at Ocean Quay in Southampton - modules are prefabricated in the dedicated new-build shop, transported to the quayside and 'pulled' together for final assembly pre-launch on a specially engineered jig.

Finally, the shot blasting and painting is completed in an enclosure specifically designed and engineered for the build.

The first barge has been lifted into the water.

MAJOR MARINE FABRICATION RETURNS TO SOUTHAMPTON 8 One of the pontoons being lifted into the water

Bob Gray, project manager for the build, said: “The fabrication process for the build has been fairly straight forward. This week's launch posed a few challenges namely the tandem contract lift utilising two Baldwins 1000T cranes.

He added: “It's not often you get an opportunity to formally thank your suppliers but I think in this case, given the scale and significance of the project, it's important to go on the record with special thanks to Houlder, Snijtech, Marmus, ML Fabrication and Jotun that are providing the 20 year paint scheme.”

The pontoons feature offices, mess facilities, crew engineering facilities, stores and event storage facilities plus a black water discharge system for the operators' tonnage and newly improved passenger access. Woods' Silver Fleet is a family-based business which operates a fleet of luxury yachts and river cruisers on the Thames in London. The new pontoons will be used to support its operations.

This project is of significance not only to SMS but also the local ship building community

POLLUTION CONTROL

IMO SETS FIRST INDUSTRY WIDE EMISSIONS STRATEGY The IMO has set an absolute target for emissions reduction across the entire maritime industry for the first time in history

IMO's Green House Gas (GHG) strategy adopted at the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 72) outlines a target to reduce GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008, with the overall aim of phasing them out.

“This is a ground-breaking agreement - a Paris Agreement for shipping,” said Peter Hinchliffe, ICS Secretary General.

“We are confident this will give the shipping industry the clear signal it needs to get on with the job of developing zero CO2 fuels, so that the entire sector will be in a position to decarbonise completely, consistent with the 1.5 degree climate change goal.”

INDUSTRY BACKING Aside from ICS, the outcome of MEPC 72 has been largely welcomed by industry organisations including BIMCO, The Coalition for Clean Shipping and Interferry.

But Mr Hinchcliffe from ICS warned that the IMO strategy is highly ambitious given current projections for trade growth as the world's population and levels of prosperity continue to increase.

He said that some governments would have preferred to see the adoption of even more aggressive targets, but he argues that a 50% total cut by 2050 can realistically only be achieved with the development and very widespread use of zero CO2 fuels.

ICS believes that if this 50% goal is successfully met, the wholesale switch by the industry to zero CO2 fuels should therefore follow very swiftly afterwards.

Discussions at IMO are now expected to begin in earnest on the development of additional CO2 reduction measures, including those to be implemented before 2023 FERRY EXEMPTIONS As part of the new IMO strategy, the IMO will apply a 20% correction in its Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) calculation formula for ro-ro and ro-pax vessels that should help revive newbuild projects that have been inhibited by the current criteria.

It's a decision that has been welcomed by Interferry, which used its IMO consultative status to voice concerns from

members that even with highly efficient newbuild designs, the sector-wide target was proving problematic because ferry types are so diverse.

It welcomed the correction saying that it would provide a much-needed margin for many projects that struggle to meet the EEDI requirements, sometimes missing by just a few percentage points.

8 Peter Hinchcliffe: "This is a groundbreaking agreement - a Paris Agreement for shipping"

WAY FORWARD The overall efficiency goal agreed by IMO Member States are a 40% improvement by 2030, compared to 2008, and a 50-70% improvement by 2050.

Industry organisations warn that this can only be achieved if governments recognise the enormity of this challenge and facilitate the rapid development of new technologies and fuels.

Discussions at IMO are now expected to begin in earnest on the development of additional CO2 reduction measures, including those to be implemented before 2023.

The shipping industry will expect to participate constructively in these important discussions.

MONITORING, CONTROL & AUTONOMY

MORE ACCURATELY PREDICTING WAVE INDUCED VESSEL MOTIONS Wave induced vessel motions are very hard to predict with accuracy yet they are one of the most important aspects of workboat operations offshore writes Dag Pike

Incoming weather can have so many variables that operators tend to play it safe because of the consequences of getting it wrong. It was this area of uncertainty that led new Dutch startup company MO4 to look at ways to eliminate some of this uncertainty. Following three years of development and intensive testing MO4 has recently launched an advanced new service of motion forecasting to enable workboats to operate more safely and efficiently.

The system comprises an easy to use on-board motion monitoring and forecasting system that is claimed to enable operators and contractors to realise significant cost savings and a proven workability increase of at least 20%. The MO4 platform accurately and clearly shows how the incoming weather will impact an offshore operation.

The device uses state-of-the-art ship motion algorithms combined with the world's best weather models to generate a prediction of the ship motions of unrivalled quality. Relevant influences of cruising speed, bilge keels, anti-roll devices, free surface tanks and other parameters are incorporated. At regular intervals the forecast motions are presented on a screen in the vessel's bridge in an intuitive and simple way, to aid the crew to make decisions based on the best available data enabling them to increase uptime and safeguard operations.

Incoming weather can have so many variables that operators tend to play it safe because of the consequences of getting it wrong. It was this area of uncertainty that led new Dutch start-up company MO4 to look at ways to eliminate some of this uncertainty.

Following three years of development and intensive testing MO4 has recently launched an advanced new service of motion forecasting to enable workboats to operate more safely and efficiently

A key differentiator is that MO4 enables not only the forecasting of the ship's motions but also the cargo sway and movement of gangway and other active equipment on the vessel by incorporating dedicated system algorithms. This clearly indicates the potential utilisation of such equipment.

The MO4 device is a combined result of predictive and powerful software developed by MOcean Offshore and monitoring technology developed by Siri Marine. Both companies agreed to officially join forces in January and this agreement shows their willingness to share data and experience in order to produce and market this exciting motion forecasting technology.

“Applying the high-end ship motion algorithms we have developed over the past years to the actual incoming weather instead of the assumptions usually made during the engineering phase increases the accuracy and thereby reduces the requirement of over-conservative margins,” commented Mark Paalvast of MOcean.

MONITORING, CONTROL & AUTONOMY

DMS HOLLAND EXPANDS STABILISER RANGE Following its electric roll damping system, the MagnusMaster, DMS Holland has now started the development of a roll damping system for fast, planing craft, Dag Pike reports

Called AntiRoll, this new system will be produced as a standardseries stabiliser whereas previously the units were custom built for larger craft. DMS Holland will be adapting its patented dualaxis fin stabiliser to form the basis for their new system.

AntiRoll will use the same high-aspect fins that rotate whilst sailing and flap whilst the vessel is at anchor to achieve the dual form of stabilisation but operation at fast speeds will be added.

Diagrams of the new system show the stabiliser fins fitted to the planing hull at the transom and in high speed operation the rotator that gives the unit its stabilising effect being folded in from its outboard hinge point so that it lies against the bottom of the transom where it will be effective at high speeds. In many respects it will operate like an interceptor.

“Since there is currently no single system that performs optimally at both high and low speeds as well as at anchor, often multiple roll damping systems have to be installed on one vessel just to ensure that it remains comfortable on board under all of the various different circumstances. Soon, with our new system, one roll damping system on board will be enough without having to compromise on stability at different speeds”, says Patrick Noor of DMS. Arnold van Aken, inventor of the dual-axis fin stabilisation AntiRoll system and the co-owner and Technical Director of DMS Holland explains, “Up to now, the system has only been accessible to the owners of larger vessels. With the

MagnusMaster now doing so well for DMS Holland, we have the opportunity to invest. Plus in December 2017 we received a grant from the RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) in the form of the so-called MIT subsidy which gives us a real kick-start.”

The new system is likely to be a major benefit to survey and diving vessels as well as wind farm craft where a combination of stability both underway and at low speeds can make a major impact on the operation of the vessel.

COLREGS milestone for autonomous ships Rolls-Royce has completed the £1.3 million MAXCMAS (MAchine eXecutable Collision regulations for Marine Autonomous Systems) research project, demonstrating, it claims, that the operation of autonomous vessels can meet, if not exceed, current collision avoidance (COLREG) rules.

Project partners Lloyd's Register, Warsash Maritime Academy (WMA), Queen's University Belfast and Atlas Elektronik (AEUK) found that use of newly developed algorithms allowed existing COLREGs to remain relevant in a crewless environment, finding that Artificial Intelligence-based navigation systems were able to enact the rules to avoid collision effectively, even when approaching manned vessels were interpreting the rules differently.

A key aspect of the research was the use of WMA's networked bridge simulators. These highly immersive simulators, typically used for seafarer training, were used to analyse reactions from the crew when faced with a range of real-world situations and

66 | MAY 2018

subsequently hone the MAXCMAS algorithms.

Rolls-Royce Future Technologies Group's Eshan Rajabally, who led the project, said: “Through MAXCMAS, we have demonstrated autonomous collision avoidance that is indistinguishable from good seafarer behaviour and we've confirmed this by having WMA instructors assess MAXCMAS exactly as they would assess the human.”

During the development project, RollsRoyce and its partners adapted a commercial-specification bridge simulator as a testbed for autonomous navigation. This was also used to validate autonomous seafarer-like collision avoidance in likely realworld scenarios.

Various simulator-based scenarios were designed, with the algorithms installed in one of WMA's conventional bridge simulators. This also included Atlas Elektronik's ARCIMS mission manager “Autonomy Engine”, Queen's University Belfast's Collision Avoidance algorithms and a Rolls-Royce interface.

During sea trials aboard AEUK's ARCIMS

8 AEUK's ARCIMS Unmanned Surface Vessel

Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV), collision avoidance was successfully demonstrated in a real environment under true platform motion, sensor performance and environmental conditions.

“The trials showed that an unmanned vessel is capable of making a collision avoidance judgement call even when the give-way vessel isn't taking appropriate action,” said Ralph Dodds, Innovation & Autonomous Systems Programme Manager, AEUK. “What MAXCMAS does is make the collision avoidance regulations applicable to the unmanned ship.”

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY

TO

INFOMAR SURVEY OF CELTIC SEA SEABED UNDERWAY On 22nd April, the state-owned RV Celtic Explorer departed Galway, Ireland, to undertake INFOMAR's first deepwater survey of 2018. The survey will chart the Labadie and Cockburn Banks and surrounding areas in the southern Celtic Sea. Helen Atkinson reports These are of ecological and economic value to the Irish fishing fleet and the data collected will enhance future fisheries management decisions. INFOMAR, the national seabed mapping programme, is a joint programme between the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and the Marine Institute which uses survey data to create bathymetric charts and products for Ireland's coastal and deeper offshore waters.

The 65.5m long, acoustically silent Celtic Explorer is equipped with three Kongsberg Maritime multibeam echo sounder systems (EM302, EM2040 and EM1002) capable of operating at depths of up to 5,000m. These, together with other on-board equipment, will be used to accurately capture the bathymetry and the geological seafloor characteristics within the survey area.

Further studies will include an analysis of the radiation patterns of the multibeam sonars, resulting in increased precision and improved data. This additional data interpretation is part of a long-running collaboration between INFOMAR and British-born Professor John Hughes Clarke, a world-leading multibeam sonar expert, now based at the Centre for Coastal and Ocean Mapping at the University of New Hampshire, USA. The survey team consists of four surveyors/scientists and four marine science students. Two of the students are participating under the auspices of the Training Through Research Surveys (TTRS) collaboration between INFOMAR and the Marine Institute.

TTRS aims to increase national offshore marine research capacity by offering seagoing placements on-board Celtic Explorer, and her sister-ship RV Celtic Voyager, to students on marine-related science and technology courses. Working

World Hydrography Day 2018 The UN-endorsed World Hydrography Day (WHD), celebrated annually on 21st June, offers an opportunity to raise public awareness of hydrography's vital role in everyday life and to promote initiatives to increase global hydrographic data coverage.

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has chosen 'Bathymetry the foundation for sustainable seas, oceans and waterways' as the 2018 theme.

Amongst other issues, this will highlight hydrography's contribution to digital navigation in commercial shipping and the ECDIS carriage requirements, protection of the marine environment and the other constituents and decision-making associated with the blue economy.

Recent years have witnessed significantly wider sharing of hydrographic data through initiatives such as national marine spatial data infrastructures, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) project and the

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY

VATTENFALL PROCURES OCEANWISE RASTER CHARTS XL Vattenfall, the Swedish energy group which has seen significant growth in its involvement in North Sea wind power, has procured OceanWise Raster Charts XL (eXcluding Land) as a seamless Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) for Northern Europe As businesses seek smarter working practices, accessible intelligent data is ever-more essential for effective marine planning and monitoring. A digital mapping base is a prerequisite for Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

Suitable terrestrial datasets are generally available from national mapping agencies but the same is not true for marine and coastal areas.

Responding to the need for accurate, geo-referenced marine data, OceanWise developed specialist tools to identify specific content within raster charts. By removing all content landward of the coastline, they devised Raster Charts XL which can be used seamlessly, alongside terrestrial data, to re-purpose hydrographic office data originally intended for safety of navigation. In addition, the exclusion of meta features (e.g. scale bars, source data diagrams and tidal diamonds), which are largely superfluous when loaded in a GIS, reduces on-screen clutter and ensures more useful information is not obscured.

Being derived from raster-based material obtained under licence from hydrographic offices, Raster Charts XL retain the familiarity of nautical charts for marine zones. Non-marine areas are provided as transparent pixels, allowing the inclusion and display of digital land mapping or aerial imagery from sources such as national mapping agencies, OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. The charts can be opened in any image viewer and are available in GIS-compatible file formats (GeoTIFF) as individual charts and panels, or as a seamless data service.

By incorporating this chart service into their organisational WebGIS, OceanWise has provided Vattenfall's developers,

engineers and project staff with a good overview of many key marine features relevant to current and future wind farm developments. Dispensing with the non-marine features will enable Vattenfall to combine the WMTS with their own terrestrial data to provide the best possible coverage in the coastal zone.

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recently joined a prestigious list of Raster Charts XL customers which, as well as Vattenfall, now includes Qatar Petroleum, the Scottish Government and the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) in Northern Ireland.

SHIPSHOT

SANMAR SHIP-HANDLING TRACTORS FOR SVITZER Delicay II, now renamed Svitzer Vale, is to be introduced to the Port of London. Svitzer Vale will then join the fleet in the company’s Scandinavian and German cluster and will be based in Bremerhaven.

The tractor tug was originally developed mainly for ship-handling due to its exceptional manoeuvrability and safety in operation and is preferred by many experienced operators. The main difference between the tractor and ASD type of tug is the location of the propulsors. Aboard the Delicay Series, they are forward mounted ZDrives. Aft is a fixed skeg. Svitzer Vale measures a compact 25.3m x 12.0m and has a bollard pull of 70 tonnes from a power plant which comprises twin Caterpillar engines coupled to Rolls-Royce Zdrives.

Accommodation is to Sanmar’s usual impeccably high standards for up to six persons. All cabins have ensuite facilities and the mess, lounge and galley are intelligently laid out to European standards of comfort and quality. Throughout the accommodation and wheelhouse there is heating, ventilation and air-conditioning courtesy of a central HVAC system.

All accommodation is above the waterline. The Delicay or TRAktor-Z 2500SX (to use its RAL designation) is a small tug that can do the work of its larger predecessors. This

compact design offers tugboat owners and operators the versatility and flexibility to customise the design for their specific operations and ports.

The vessels are fitted with the Robert Allan Limited developed StRAke Wake Stabilisers. The result of much research and

development by senior naval architects at RAL, these unique devices mounted at the stern of a tractor tug are very effective in damping out oscillatory motions across the entire speed range.

Simple and cost effective, the devices show no negative effective on performance, ahead or astern.

Easy to install, Sanmar intends to fit these stabilisers to all its tractor configuration ranges. Sanmar’s Ali Gurun said: “In an ideal world, customers require a bespoke product with immediate delivery.

We intend to achieve as close to this as possible by providing a tailored tug in the shortest time by having a basically standard product but with a host of individual variations. Even extending to a Rotortug option replacing the aft skeg with an additional Z-drive.”
