For the tender process of this contract, Damen’s in-house engineering team conducted extensive studies into the best possible solution for the operation in question. A key feature was environmental performance. To this end, Damen considered biodiesel, hybrid and full electric solutions.

Unsurprisingly, a zero emissions, fully electric solution offered the best results in terms of sustainability. It also transpired that, over the twelve year period of the contract, this was the most cost-efficient solution.

Another crucial requirement was that the new vessels be able to fit into the existing framework - including use of current timetables and infrastructure, as well as capacity to carry at least 60 passengers. To fulfil this, Damen has developed a design with a capacity for 80 passengers, tailored so that the vessels can dock - bow first - at the existing jetties.

At the jetties at each end of the route, Damen will install fast charging

An insight into the Dutch heavy lift industry

RollDock CEO Paul Könst talks about the various reasons that the Dutch heavy lift sector holds a leading position in the global market. With an eye on the future, he gives an insight into the opportunities that RollDock sees on the horizon.

The RollDock Sea transported 66 transition pieces from Aviles (Spain) to Eemshaven (The Netherlands) in nine shipments, within ten months. The transition pieces - with a weight of 330 metric tons and a height of 27.9 meters each - are part of a large German wind farm. All transition pieces were transported in a vertical position and were all lifted on board with the vessel’s deck cranes

Competitive spirit When talking to RollDock’s CEO, Paul Könst, perhaps the first, and most obvious, question to ask is what makes the Dutch maritime heavy lift sector so successful on the international market? “Dutch companies in this sector are characterised by quality, safety, expertise and service,” he says. “We have to offer competitive pricing compared with other countries, but in return we offer so much more, such as expertise and experience, a high safety level and a flexible approach to different requests.”

In the face of stiff competition from inter-

Könst replies, saying that RollDock tries to create an understanding with clients that the price tag is not the only issue to consider. “We try to differentiate from others by offering better engineered solutions, which result in lower risks and the avoidance of potential delays.”

Clean shore power for large offshore vessels If everything works out, large offshore vessels, while moored in the Port of Rotterdam, will be fully powered by green electricity. Heerema Marine Contracters, energy supplier Eneco and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to perform a feasibility study to make this happen in the near future. The use of shore power for moored vessels at this scale is an industry first in the world.

could be connected to the grid to reduce the (carbon) footprint even further. In addition to the emissions saved, noise generation will be reduced significantly too.

Heerema cannot realize this project alone. Because of the reach and complexity, partners are needed. “Our main partners are energy supplier Eneco and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Each organization has its own expertise. We hope that together, we can make this project a reality.” The first official step was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly perform a feasibility study on the creation of shore power infrastructure in the Calandkanaal. Katja Langen, Director Business Development of Eneco, Saskia Rijtema, COO of Heerema and Yvonne van der Laan, Director of Process Industry & Bulk Goods at the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed the memorandum.

Not only the infrastructure on the shore has to be developed.

The vessels have to be adjusted too. “It is envisioned all vessels - Sleipnir, Thialf and Aegir - are converted to accommodate shore power while retaining their functional capabilities,” says Doedée. The focus is not only on the input, but also on the output. “Apart from larger projects such as shore power, we are definitely looking at energy efficiency onboard.

These are mainly related to behavior and how we operate our vessels. For example, the cranes show crate promise in increasing energy efficiency. They need a lot of energy and we are analyzing how they are used when moored to reduce the required power.”

Deep sea mining as an alternative source for valuable metals The European Union has decided to financially support various deep sea mining feasibility studies, such as the Blue Mining consortium. The Dutch maritime cluster is involved in the project. What kind of opportunities could deep sea mining bring to our maritime sector?

034

‘A RACE TO THE BOTTOM AND UP AGAIN’ and other minerals has surged due to the production of solar cells, wind turbines, and smart phones and the overall global economic development. The European Union has recognised deep sea mining as a potential way to secure raw materials to its industrial and technological sector. At the moment secure access to these metals to European companies can become limited since a majority of the mining locations are outside Europe and controlled by non-European states, for instance China. Therefore, the EU has decided to financially support various deep sea mining feasibility studies, such as the Blue Mining consortium.

One of Blue Mining’s industrial members is the Dutch shipbuilding and engineering company Royal IHC. They decided in 2014 to join forces with 18 other companies, research institutions and academia in order to investigate the most challenging aspects of deep sea mining. From searching and identifying valuable resources on the sea beds to estimating the technical requirements and economic profitability of mining the raw materials.

Smart to us means more than merely introducing ICT and automation technology in the sector. It is a way of working or maybe even a state of mind. It means that we try to utilize formerly competitive relationships and work together on special themes or projects. Smart shipping also means that we redefine shipbuilding processes and create spectacular new designs in superyachts, sustainable fish farming, cruise shipping or subsea operations. And it means making a profitable business in the high end, where others hold on to conventional solutions.

During the Smart Maintenance Business Lunch on September 5th, we will focus on the next steps in asset maintenance. Where we also try to operate from an innovative angle. New solutions will be presented, but the central question will be how to incorporate smart maintenance in real business models. The Rotterdam-Drecht Cities region will also present their new promotion campaign here.

Heesen has announced the delivery of the first yacht in its new 50 metres Steel Class: Omaha. She proved to be extremely manoeuvrable in all conditions thanks to her large rudders in combination with the power steering unit. Powered by two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines, she has a range of 3,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. The maximum speed is 16 knots. Omaha’s sister ship, YN 18850 Project Triton, is currently under construction at the Heesen shipyard in Oss and is available for delivery in February 2020.

Since the launch of their first Twin Axe FCS 2610 back in 2011, the Damen vessel has become a benchmark in crew transfer for the offshore wind industry. About 50 of these ships have been built, and while improvements were made along the way, it was time to design and build a new version, taking into account all the experience gained over the years and the evolved requirements from customers.

Regulations To increase the capacity from 12 technicians to 26 technicians, the FCS 2710 was certified differently. It’s not anymore a cargo ship (which can always carry up to 12 passengers) like the original FCS 2610, but it complies with the Offshore Service Craft Regulations. This is an adaptation of the High Speed Craft code, of which variations are adopted by the British, Danish and German flag authorities, which differentiates industrial personnel (which have received basic safety training) from standard passen-

gers. The more stringent regulations meant amongst others stricter damage stability requirements, a Failure Mode and Effect A60 standard and the use of non-combustible material for the bulkheads. With this new certification, the 24-metres load line also became less important, and therefore, Damen now also offers a 34-metres version of the same vessel, with either additional accommodation or additional cargo deck space.

NICKOVISION

Evolution goes in steps in river cruise shipbuilding. One owner-operator, Scylla AG, has its own way of doing things. The company, owned by the Dutch Reitsma family, has its own outfitting location in the heart of the Dutch inland shipbuilding industry, Hardinxveld-Giessendam. At this location, the company delivers about three new vessels every year, with a dedicated team of subcontractors. For every build, they try to improve on the last one. Scylla AG’s latest delivery, called nickoVISION, features a new dining concept for guests, and provides a good occasion to highlight the innovations implemented over recent years.

N I C KOV I S I O N

Damage stability It’s always a challenge on a river cruise vessel to have a low air draught to pass under bridges and also have a low water draught to sail in shallow waters, as the water levels in rivers can sometimes impede operations.

In addition to a lowerable wheelhouse - of which the roof can be lowered as well- the design makes use of ballast water to reduce the air draught on rivers and canals. This ballast is not needed in Zone 2 areas, such as the Wadden Sea, the IJssel lake etc. The

The cabins have an uncluttered and light design

ship therefore has two different stability booklets, depending on the area where they are sailing. The stability complies both with the higher damage stability requirements of Zone 2 areas - where ballast water is not used - and those of Zone 3 areas (rivers & canals), where ballast water is sometimes used. The reason for this is also that the standard air clearance of 6.00 metres on the Main-Donau canal will be reduced to 5.85 metres.

New propellers As on other recent river cruise vessels, nickoVISION has a so-called ship-in-ship

An open staircase forward connects the different restaurant levels

propulsion installation. This means that the thrusters and their driving engines are positioned in a rectangular part of the bottom which is flexibly mounted in the hull. Air is injected in the airgap, which also reduces onboard noise due to the layer of air bubbles which is created above the thrusters.

Another innovation is found on the Z-drive thrusters themselves. Each of the Veth thrusters has two counter-rotating propellers, but rather than the typical four-bladed front and five-bladed aft propeller configuration, nickoVISION has a four-bladed front propeller and a seven-bladed aft propeller.

Scylla River Cruises choose Ultra Fog ÂŽ

The most innovative and efficient high pressure watermist firefighting system

FULLY IMO APPROVED

90% Reduction in water for maximum protection Ultra Fog is world leader in high pressure watermist firefighting systems. Unique sprinkler nozzles achieve the highest efficiencies. 1 Liter water is converted to 1.700 liter of watermist - no other system is able to achieve this! This is why only 1 nozzle is required per 48 m2. This alone makes Ultra Fog the cheapest firefighting system to procure, install and maintain. In cases of fire, (water) damage is minimized to an absolute minimum. Ultra Fog is the best choice for yachts, passenger cruise ships, (freight) carriers, navy & combat and patrol ships and for the offshore industry.

Technoship BV: exclusive supplier of Ultra Fog For 50 years Technoship BV has been supplier of safety service & technology for the maritime industry. We represent Ultra Fog, Steen deck machinery and are manufacturer of GT-sliding underdeck davit systems. We provide consultancy service, design, installation and maintenance for (amongst others) the Royal Navy of the Netherlands, Damen Shipyards, Amels & Scylla AG.

At the request of Robert Reitsma, Alhpatron developed the AlphaFuelControl system a few years ago, which helps the captain by providing a setpoint for fuel consumption in liter per kilometres rather than a fixed speed or engine rpm. The vessel will then automatically sail at a lower speed in shallow water and during turns and sail faster straight ahead in deeper water.

A novelty for nickoVISION is the installation of a track pilot for rivers. This allows the vessel to follow a preset course over the river, basically a spline through waypoints, without the need to touch the steering controls.

The engine bases are mounted flexibly in the hull

A joystick is provided to give a temporary offset to the planned route, for example to avoid oncoming traffic. Each route is logged in combination with the fuel consumption, and this will over time allow to determine the most efficient track within the available mula 1 track, there is an ‘ideal line’ on rivers too. Robert Reitsma: “There is a lot of talk about autonomous shipping, and frankly we don’t believe that’s needed nor desirable for our vessels. However, by automating certain processes, we believe we can relieve the workload of the captain to help him or her sail more efficiently and more safely. On

As they did with their previous newbuilds, Scylla AG invited all people who built the vessel to experience it over a twonight weekend. Another tradition is that Scylla AG awards an innovation prize to one of the subcontractors. In this case, the winner was the piano in the main restaurant.

New shipping and shipbuilding technology for vessel management and propulsion systems is likely to feature prominently in in the 2020’s thinks Stopford. “But there is much work to be done to bring the right new products to market. SMM will be a great opportunity for companies to check where these developments have got to and test their product strategies with customers.” A day before the exhibitions opens, the Maritime Future Summit takes place. This is a conference that will look into new developments in the maritime industry. Major players and decisions-makers will look into trends and products in automation, digitalisation and information management. A special Digital Route on the exhibition floor shows what is already possible.

Other issues that will be addressed are how the shipping industry can cope with growing cost pressures. And how can digitalisation help improve operating efficiency? Which market segments offer growth potential? These questions will not only be answered on the exhibition floor, but also in additional programmes. There is a Global Maritime Environmental Congress on 5 September and following two days the International Conference on Maritime Security and Defence takes place. It will focus on the security of international sea routes as well as the protection against cyberattacks. Other activities are Trade Wind Shipowners Forum that tackles the current challenges facing the industry and the Offshore Dialogue that looks into deep-sea mining.

SMM is from 4 till 7 September 2018 in Hamburg. This year it takes place for the 28th time. The four-day event is preceded by an inaugural international conference, the Maritime Future Summit (MFS), on 3 September, one day before the exhibition opens.

Their new innovative Bull fender system is extremely strong and light weight. It combines the enormous resilience and indestructibility of hollow pressureless Polymer spheres with the damping ability and shape restoring characteristics of high quality polyethylene closed cell foam.

The combination of materials ensures that the load and damping capacity and the technical lifetime of their fender systems increases dramatically. This reduces the weight of the fender by 20 per cent.

“For total fender systems mostly we use a combination of the spheres and foam. Using the innovative ‘Bull technology inside’ system, a strong and energy absorbing combination, ensures a load absorbing and damping capacity as well as an enhanced technical lifetime.”

The hull of RPA-8 is completely different form the typical hulls. It has a CFD-optimised round-bilge hull with a shallow transom and it uses a hydrofoil - the patented Hull Vane - rather than the hull shape, to generate hydrodynamic lift and dampen the stern wave. Model tests at Marin with and without the Hull Vane® showed a power reduction of 20 to 29 per cent depending of the speed.RPA-8 marks a huge step in efficiency in a market segment where innovation has been going in small steps over the past decades.

Bolidt presents flooring product with LED lighting

www.pronomar.com | Booth: B7 - 710

Bolidt will be showcasing the latest fruits of its research and development, including a unique flooring product that incorporates smart LED lighting whose illumination patterns are programmable and controllable down to individual LEDs, allowing designers an unprecedented level of creativity. The idea originated in illuminated helicopter decks on mega yachts but Bolidt has since been inundated with interest from cruise ship interior designers.

Demand for drying systems in booming expedition market

Remarkably, the special decking is only 15mm thick and the lights are durable enough to last as long as decks themselves.

Insight will also be given on a product planned for launch next year which will incorporate liquid-based sensors that react to step-on movement. The functionality could be used to alert crew if someone is out of bounds or could be adapted for more sophisticated applications, such as monitoring passenger movements in muster drills or evacuations. The flooring and decking specialist will also be offering updates on the Bolidt Innovation

Over the past couple of years, DMT has increasingly developed render and recovery modes for its systems. Together with clients, DMT has developed and tested its complete self-tensioning, automatic render and recovery and constant tensioning systems. These have led to a remote controlled aftersales instrument. Technical specifications are regularly tested in-house with client and classification society representatives.

Predictive maintenance is the main key to achieving its goal of not having to go back on board vessel for a minimum 10 years.

DMT has also recently invested in increasing the number of stateof-the-art machines at its production facility in order to help it manufacture the highest quality precision winch components.

Motrac develops EcoGenDrive Last year Motrac shared an illustrative story on Eco design. A concept had been devised of a PTO-driven hydrostatic on-board generator.

Where already existing systems had a limited capacity and showed an unstable frequency, Motrac was able to develop a PTO generator of 85kVa with a stable frequency. Under both varying loads, and at varying speeds. We have since moved ahead by two years, and the necessary

This success has encouraged Motrac to develop a full range, called EcoGenDrive, to serve the market further. The stable frequency is made possible by an electronically adjustable Linde pump and a very fast Völkel controller, and more than 60 years of experience in Linde hydraulics. The closed hydrostatic drive ensures an efficiency which is considerably higher than that of a conventional hydraulic system.

Together with the maritime cluster in the Netherlands we are able to build short sea vessels according the latest developments in the markets and fuel and emission demands. We work close together which several companies which are specialists in this field.”

In the next few years Royal Bodewes will deliver several 4800 dwt Bodewes Traders as well as the 5150 dwt Ecotrader. All vessels well prepared for the future with water ballast treatment units and a few with SCR installations to fulfil the IMO tier 3 regulations. Also in 2019 the shipyard will deliver 3 self-discharging cement carriers of 4200 dwt each which will have a very efficient fuel consumption which makes these vessel unique in her kind.
