Guest Column Pushing it forward The theme of this edition of the Maritime Holland magazine is ‘Propulsion’. According to the Cambridge Dictionary ‘propulsion’ can be defined as a force that pushes something forward. Of course, the engines and propellers we sell and/or service at Bolier literally push a vessel forward: technology at its core. Though, there are also many forces pushing forward the maritime market right now.

Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque has completed an eight-day refurbishment project for the 132-metre DP2, self-propelled, jack-up vessel Sea Installer.

Operated by A2SEA, the Sea Installer was purpose-built in 2012 for installing the next generation of large wind turbines off the coast of Europe.

The primary task was the fitting of new spud can shoes to the vessel’s four columnar legs. These massive pieces of steelwork, weighing 160 tonnes each, required the deployment of specialist logistics including the use of self-propelled modular transporters to move them into position and a 700-tonne crawler crane.

A stepping stone between the market and engine manufacturer

The company started as an all-round service station for marine engine repair, but when the oldest son Arie Koedood started working at the company his father founded, his ambition was to form a dealership with a big name in the engine industry.

“That worked out,” says Arie Koedood.

“When people in our sector hear the name Koedood, they think of Mitsubishi.”

They is so intertwined with the Japanese company that they even based their logo on the three-diamond emblem of the engine manufacturer. The three diamonds are rearranged so they form the letter ‘k’. “We are the biggest distributor of Mitsubishi maritime engines in the world. Koedood

The Brigadoon is lowered into the water at the shipyard in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

MARITIME HOLL AND | NO. 4 | 2018

Brigadoon launched at Moonen Shipyards A special yacht was launched on 7 June at Moonen Shipyards in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

She is christened Brigadoon as she was lowered into the water by crane. “There are certain milestone moments in the building process of a yacht and the launch is obviously a crucial one. What is more exciting than watching a yacht descend out of the construction hall and glide into her natural environment?” says project manager Nicky van Zon on the website of the company.

026

‘THE HULL IS MADE OF HIGH TENSILE STEEL’ The yacht features a remarkable amount of space for her length thanks to a wide-body superstructure with the same beam as the hull. A good example of the benefits this offers, is found in the large owners’ suite. The windows are directly on the outer range of the boat looking forward and that provides panoramic views.

The main deck aft is an open area with low bulwarks and a direct connection to the swimming platform. Another special spot on the yacht is the ‘open-air’ bridge deck lounge. “You can close the sliding windows and use the air conditioning to control the climate or just open everything up and sit outside with a nice rooftop. The finish inside is similar to the rest of the interior along with a lovely teak decked floor. Several people have described it as a winter garden,” says Zon. The 36-metre superyacht is the first to feature a hull made of high tensile steel. The innovative use of high tensile steel ensures

resistance and obtaining optimum propulsive efficiency remains a must-do step in ship design, this expertise alone will not bring us to our ultimate goal of zero emission transport. The state of the art expertise on that level are close to reaching a plateau in terms of further improvement.

This is the reasons why our research themes will also cover

methods to support the choices that will be made at a concept level. Smart data will take the lead on big data in that respect.

Shipping goods around the world with zero emission will need however more than optimum designs. This change requires additional expertise and disruptive solutions. The end of fossil fuels in shipping is possible, with the use of electric engines powered by renewable electricity for example. The carrier of electricity will come in the form of hydrogen, batteries or new synthetic fuels, but certainly multiple and hybrid integrated solutions. Using a new type of engine and new source of energy is going to influence the way we design ships and the way we operate them.

Different hard points in the design constraints will certainly impact the design and operations of future ships. Such as increased possibilities in the weight distribution and internal arrangement. Or for example logistics aspects related to new type of infrastructures for bunkering. Zero emission shipping will be covered in our upcoming research by the development of an hydro-system integration lab, in order to accompany the maritime industry in this extraordinary transition. This lab will integrate the power train and all related controls together with the hydrodynamic aspects of propulsion systems.

Even though new carbon-free energy sources will be brought onboard, it will remain important to use as less energy as possible onboard. Obviously to always improve the range of ships .

Use of wind energy, as an alternative propulsion source, is one of those possibilities. Efficient and modern sail devices (rigid profiles, Flettner rotor or alternative suction profile) allow us to harness the power which is freely available in the oceans. Using it to simply assist ship propulsion, is an obvious way forward to minimize energy required onboard. Reduction of power use fining what ships are really meant to do. Understanding which

Ballast To bring the working deck as close to the waterline as possible, the vessel has a substantial amount of ballast water capacity.

A ballast water treatment system is installed to prevent the transfer of invasive species, even though the sailing area will be fairly limited when used in delousing activities. As a late add-on, the owner specified an ozone generator which is fitted in the cargo hold.

ment which may come into contact with the fish. To reduce the noise on the working deck, the engine room ventilation passes through a well-insulated void space before going upwards to the working deck.

Modular approach A number of container fittings on deck allow for the easy mounting of all deck equipment at the start of the aquaculture and delousing season. Another advantage of this modular approach is that the vessel can very easily be adapted to new technology for delousing when this becomes available. A lot of development is going on in this segment.

The level of integration was deliberately kept low for this reason, with the vessel mainly supplying electric power, hydraulic oil, sea water, fuel oil and compressed air The bow thruster is also driven by a compact permanent-magnet motor

There is a void between the tanks and the deck, allowing certain things to be welded onto the deck without damage to tank coatings. The deck gear includes four knuckle boom cranes, two on each side, which are used to handle the hoses and the nets of the fishfarms. Sometimes, the fish are deposited in a different pen, or alter-

of efforts still remain to be put in, mostly regarding investments in LNG bunkering facilities, however, LNG as a fuel is already available in most major ports and areas impacted by emissions regulations. In the most optimistic forecasts for the development of LNG as marine fuel, this specific market will represent only a few percent of the global LNG world market. So there is no global availability issue for LNG with large reserves being explored, contrarily to its competitor fuels such as LPG or methanol. And there is a good reason to think that the LNG price will probably remain low for the years to come,” he said.

Perrin believes that an encouraging trend can be seen with regard to the uptake of LNG as marine fuel over the past few years. “In February 2018, 122 LNG-fuelled marine ships were being built or sailing and 143 vessels were on order. That represents a very rapid growth considering that four years ago, in 2014, there were 56 LNG vessels, that’s less than 50 percent of actual numbers,” he added.

As part of this increased commitment, Volvo Penta has restructured its organization to accelerate the switch towards electrified power and has committed to an ambitious ramping up of its electrification investment program. An electromobility development-and-test laboratory has also been established at its Swedish headquarters.

As a Tier 1 partner to many leading equipment manufacturers in the marine and industrial segments, Volvo Penta is in a unique position to further develop the proven electric platforms from the Volvo Group. The company can deploy this technical knowledge with its deep application understanding to help manufacturers develop advanced, robust and successful products that use the most appropriate power technology platform for their intended use.

While the power outputs and applications of the initial electric systems are being kept confidential for the time being, the company has announced that both hybrid and all-electric solutions will be offered at the outset. Volvo Penta is already field testing early prototypes and system validation is under way. The ability to offer customers an electrified option means Volvo Penta can deliver the most appropriate power source based on customer needs and application specifics.

“We have a deep understanding of power systems in a wide variety of applications, which we will use to help customers meet the transformation towards sustainable power solutions in the months and years ahead,” concludes Inden. “These solutions will not just be more sustainable, they will also be high customers and the environment.”

Diesel driven controllable pitch propellers are equipped with RENK gearboxes , where diverse hybrid solutions are possible.

Electric motors from Kolmer play an important role in V-Pods and function as powerful and dependable sources of propulsion. A V-Pod is a propulsion system in which the propeller can turn both clockwise and anti-clockwise, powered by a permanent magnet motor. The electrical power is supplied by means of a generator set, battery set or fuel cell. With the ability to turn 360 degrees, a V-Pod is placed underneath the vessel, eliminating the need for a rudder as well as saving space inside.

The Solution reaches a speed of 12 knots thanks to the twin propeller propulsion by two 650 kW V-Pods, while the vessels of the Dutch Maritime Authorities will be equipped with batteries that supply the current for the V-Pods, thus enabling important energy saving.

About a dozen studies and model tests have indicated similar savings on patrol vessels ranging from 25 metres to 108 metres. The Hull Vane was built of steel in the Netherlands and was transported to Cherbourg by truck.

CMN was in charge of the installation and the structural integration, including a lengthening of the divers’ platform. CMN is the first naval shipbuilder to propose Hull Vane as a mid-life performance upgrade to their existing customers, which was highly appreciated by their client.

The retrofit is a concrete action of the Affaires Maritimes to reduce the CO2 emissions of their fleet. By choosing for Hull Vane, they achieve this goal while reducing operating costs and improving working conditions onboard.

“Low operating noise due to optimal tooth flank corrections,” that’s amongst others the strongest feature of the newly developed Down Angle gearbox series. Further benefits of this Reintjes technology are the efficient performance due to a weight-optimised design and the smaller engine room, which is the result of a reduced height of the power train. This is made possible by the inclination angle of 8 or 10 degrees between the engine/input shaft and propeller/output shaft

standards in corrosion protection, thereby extending the lifecycle of the thruster. Furthermore, moving the position of the anode from the outside surface into the cross-section of the nozzle tail leads to subsequent operational benefits, such as reduced flow interference, resulting in fuel savings.

Schottel’s core idea was to remove the anodes from the outside surface of the nozzle, where they are prone to being knocked off by flotsam, such as wood or ice, or even by slight ground contact. Loss of the anodes is usually only discovered during maintenance downtime, by which time corrosion might already have become a problem. Plus, depending on the nozzle’s diameter and the anode’s material, anodes for up to five years cathodic protection against corrosion can be MARITIME HOLL AND | NO. 4 | 2018

integrated into the nozzle. This enables a reduction of additional anodes for the hull or other thruster parts.

The new position in the tail of the nozzle not only shields the anodes, but also offers additional operational potential as it contributes to the optimal hydrodynamic flow of the nozzle. As its smooth overall surface reduces flow interference, it meets the customer’s need for highly efficient propulsion systems. It results in lower fuel consumption and pays off in terms of reduced operating costs.

This solution enables the propeller, as well as the main engine, to run on variable speed (Combinator Curve) at slow ship speeds and still use the PTO as the most economic source of electric-power generation on board. As a bypass around the converter unit is installed, the system suffers no electrical losses when the converter is not in operation. Another advantage is that the total installed GenSet power can be kept low as the HyProp converter allows a smooth start of the shaft machine in PTH-mode without a big voltage drop at the main switchboard.

Lower propeller and engine speed saves fuel: operating the propeller as well as the diesel engine with reduced speed saves fuel oil.
