PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello readers, Behind every challenge lies an opportunity.

With the global economy still limping and making slow recovery, we have to leave no stone unturned until we find those opportunities.

The shipping markets are weak, and this year has been challenging and will continue to be so entering 2017. We see this as perfect timing to strengthen collaboration with our clients by developing partnerships to bring down costs.

Within the ship management business, we are making several adaptations to the current climate. This includes transforming our business strategy for greater customisable solutions to ship owners and making customer satisfaction our primary goal. We aim to build lifetime values and not transactional values to expand our loyal customer base. We are also developing capabilities within employees to draw out their talents so they can grow with the company.

This issue of WManager shows how well we can move with change when the New Panama Canal Locks finally opened for commercial ships. Our new building division has been receiving more and more calls for retrofitting vessels to transit the expanded canal. Our technical team and crew are always prepared and observant of the new procedures and environment when passing the new locks.

The completion and technical management of gas carrier, Jia Yuan, for owners Kumiai Senpaku, have elevated our relationship with them to a higher level.

I am very heartened by the long partnership we have with Kumiai Senpaku and glad that they felt the same when Ms. Chikako Yoneda, owner and advisor of Kumiai, personally gifted and planted saplings of cherry blossom trees in front of our Lysaker office. Read more about this unforgettable event and more within.

Please sit back and enjoy the magazine. Before you dive in, I would like to say thank YOU for your continuous support and trust in WSM. See you in 2017!

Yours sincerely, Carl Schou President, Wilhelmsen Ship Management

From paper to ship How It’s Built Building a ship is a complicated but highly structured project. Here is a visualisation of how the whole process takes place and how WSM steps in to ensure all specifications are met.

Issue 3 - 2016

3

Pre-building The building of a ship begins long before its construction at the shipyard. Inviting an external new building supervision team to be at planning stage will benefit the ship owner as they bring with them the right kind of experience and skills to handle the project.

WSM’s New Building & Technical Services division usually participates during the technical specification review after the owner selects the shipyard. Owners appreciate our role because we work objectively and aim to deliver on time, on budget and on point.

“ During technical specifications review, shipyards will confirm the best specification within budget so that vessels are well-built and can serve with minimal trouble over a longer period. Our experts play a big advisory role during this review.”

Sanjiv Rastogi – Head of New Building & Technical Services, WSM WSM establishes a project management team at the shipyard to supervise the whole shipbuilding process where the 10 main phases of building takes place.

The 10 Phases of Shipbuilding Feature

Duration: 11 months

4

Phase 1 Steel Cutting Steel plates are cut into parts that will form the hull and deck of the ship. The design of the vessel is brought into physical dimensions at this stage.

WManager

Phase 2 Block Construction Steel blocks are constructed in stages at different locations in the shipyard.

Typically a vessel is made of over 100 blocks.

WSM: The project team conducts close inspections in Phase 1, 2 and 3 to make sure every specification is fulfilled by the shipyard.

Phase 3 Pre-erection The blocks are assembled together to create mega blocks. Equipment, pipes, electrical cables and other components are assembled in the block stage when access is easily available. During this time surface treatment and coating is also carried out.

Issue 3 - 2016

5

Phase 4 Keel laying The keel is laid in its designated area where the completed ship may be launched into the water.

The blocks are assembled and welded to the structure. Keel laying date is recorded on ship certificates and often celebrated.

Feature

Phase 5

6

Large machinery All machinery is tested at different stages according to the ITP (Inspection and Testing Program). We follow detailed test protocols to verify that all machinery operates well as per design. This is like a stress test in extreme conditions on board.

WManager

“ Machinery testing is very important in the shipbuilding process. We push engines and other equipment to the designed limits and record parameters.

This serves as a reference point during the life of the ship.”

Sanjiv Rastogi – Head of New Building & Technical Services, WSM

Phase 6 Erection Pre-erected blocks are assembled on the keeland welded. The vessel is built up progressively. Large machinery is installed at this time. The structure finally looks like a ship!

Issue 3 - 2016

7

Phase 7

Feature

Launching The dock is filled with water and the vessel gets its first taste floating in seawater.

Phase 8 Sea Trial The vessel sails out to confirm performance is as per specification.

Many tests are carried out and recorded for reference. Procedures are discussed in meticulous details in advance. This is a very hectic period and there is not much sleep over three days!

8

WManager

Phase 9 Technical Completion Up to delivery, owner’s comments during sea trials are attended to. Planned inspections are carried out towards completion of vessel.

This is the final stretch of shipbuilding.

Phase 10 Naming Ceremony An optional event organised between ship owner and shipbuilder to uncover the name and wish the ship good luck! This is normally held close to the ship delivery.

Ship Delivery The ship is completed. Final installment of money is transferred to shipbuilder and the owner takes over the vessel. All documents and certificates are handed over at this time.

Gas Trials On LPG carriers, gas trials are conducted either before or after delivery to certify that the ship is fit to carry the nominated cargo. A series of planned tests are carried out and in the end the vessel receives a Certificate of Fitness.

Her name is JIA YUAN On 8 September 2016, Kumiai Senpaku named their WSM-supervised new building at Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard, Ulsan, South Korea, JIA YUAN. WSM’s New Building & Technical Services (NETS), led by Sanjiv Rastogi, carried out this project. A site team of professionals was set up to supervise the building of the vessel.

News Update

On 6 October 2016, JIA YUAN was successfully delivered and taken over on full management by the LPG/LNG Group of WSM Malaysia.

We thank Kumiai Senpaku for the level of trust they have in us to build and manage their newest LPG vessel.

Lycaste Peace and Lucina Providence transit new Panama Canal First transit commemoration L​ ycaste Peace and Lucina Providence, both managed by WSM Malaysia, became the first VLGCs to pass the expanded Panama Canal that opened for commercial transit on 27 June 2016.

Lycaste Peace was the first commercial vessel, the first LPG tanker and the first Panamanianflagged vessel to transit the Neo-Panamax Canal from the Atlantic Ocean side to Pacific Ocean side on 27 June 2016.

News Update

Lucina Providence was the first very large gas carrier (VLGC) to transit from the Pacific Ocean side to Atlantic Ocean side on 28 June 2016.

22

With two vessels heading for their maiden transit, Punit Saini, Vessel Manager (Operations & Vetting) for the LPG/LNG Group in WSM Malaysia, made sure preparations were done way ahead including risk assessment.

WManager

“ Captain Sunbir Sidana, on board Lycaste Peace, and Captain Sanjay Wagh, on board Lucina Providence, spared no efforts with physical vessel preparations and extensive trainings to ensure their smooth transits. At the same time, the shore-based LPG/LNG group kept both vessels equipped with timely supplies and necessary documentations.”

Punit Saini – Vessel Manager (Operations & Vetting), WSM Malaysia.

As of today, vessels will need to clear both Agua Clara Locks and Cocoli Locks during daytime. As both locks were built with good lighting, Saini believes when night transit is introduced, the waiting time to pass both locks will be greatly reduced.

Lycaste Peace and Lucina Providence of Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) Japan, chartered

by Astomos Energy Corporation, Japan, carries LPG derived from shale gas mainly from Houston, USA, gas terminals and hauls it to Japan via the expanded Panama Canal.

Many firsts for Captain of Lycaste Peace

On the conventional route, it used to take 45 days or so to haul LPG to Japan from Houston, but now via the expanded Panama Canal, the transit time shortens to less than 30 days.

True to the WSM style of being a step ahead in preparation, all paperwork and training began 2-3 months before the transit.

The Panama Canal was previously off-limits to the large LNG carriers, LPG carriers and VLGCs. Now, it has changed with the upgrade and the Panama Canal Authority hopes to persuade gas carriers to use this shorter route linking Atlantic Basin producers and buyers in Asia.

What are the chances of experiencing these all at one go?

First time in command of a vessel – check!

First time transiting the New Panama Locks – check!

First commercial vessel passing the New Panama Locks – check!

Captain Sunbir Sidana has plenty to be excited for… and worry about.

“ We did everything we could from maintaining constant

contact with local agents, to keeping abreast with developments with the Panama Canal Authority, and even scrutinising videos during crew training. All those to make sure the transit will go smoothly and safely.”

Captain Sunbir Sidana – first in command for Lycaste Peace.

The transit was a success.

Everything was documented and photographed. A full report was shared with the office as reference to subsequent transiting vessels. They even gave feedback to the Panama Canal Authority so both sides are able to improve for a faster transit. “ I have fond memories with WSM and Lycaste Peace,” said Captain

Sidana who worked with WSM for over 14 years. “She is my first gas vessel during cadetship and my first ship to command as captain.”

The new locks have 16 rolling gates operating from concrete recesses located perpendicular to the lock chambers. Such gate configuration turns each recess into a sort of dry dock which will allow servicing the gates on site without the need to remove them and therefore interrupt lock operations.

Issue 3 - 2016

Each lock chamber have three water-saving basins, which will reuse 60 percent of the water in each transit. There are a total of nine basins for each of the two lock complexes.

There are a total of 18 basins for the entire project. Each water-saving basin is approximately 70 meters wide by 5.50 meters deep.

The gates have different dimensions depending on their location in the lock chamber. They are all 57.60m long, 8-10m wide, and the height depends on the location but the lowest one is 22.30 meters and the highest one is 33.04 depending on the chamber.

The gates weigh on average 3,200 tons.

However, since they have different sizes, weight can range from 2,100 tons to as much as 4,200 tons.
