SORJ (Ship and Offshore Repair Journal) Welcome to the October/November edition of SORJ (Ship and offshore Repair Journal), which also includes the LNG Supplement. This issue concentrates on Southern Europe, which has a real diversity of yards throughout the region, all involved in both the general repair market and the larger conversion market. As the world get slowly back to normal following the COVID-19 pandemic (and there is no indication that we are getting totally free of this virus), there are two exhibitions on the horizon, which are available to all. Firstly there is Europort in Rotterdam during early November 2021, which will be followed in January 2022 by Norshipping, Oslo. It remains to be seen if these two traditional events will be successful for exhibitors and visitors alike – I will be attending both, so I will report back on my own experiences.

Repairs FAYARD unaffected

by COVID The COVID-19 situation in Denmark has, during the third quarter of this year, not affected business at Denmark’s FAYARD, Munkebo. The national situation is that approximately 87% of the population has been vaccinated and the travelling restrictions to and from Denmark are almost removed. The yard has also not been affected by the global supply chain challenges, the yard able to secure such deliveries without delays. The only experienced effect is material pricing that is fluctuating significantly more than normal.

Activities in the drydocks have been maintained at an acceptable level and the order pipeline for coming months is also looking good for the maintaining of the yard’s normally high and fast responding capacity. The offshore vessel segment is showing increasing activity again - the vessel maintenance and mobilisation activities will be good for the future of the yard, with all facilities, including the large 1,200 tonne precision lifting gantry crane being able to assist in not only fast and efficient exchange of large deck cranes but also, most importantly, with safety for the involved personnel and the deck crane mounted controls and equipment.

During the past few months, FAYARD has continued installing BWM systems the recipient vessels not only in the yard but also in vessels abroad at other yards by use of our typeapproved ex-deckhouse solution, which is easy and safe to transport to relevant installation locations. The Ex/Atex/USCG/LR approved this BWM system deckhouse solution, which prior shipment is fully equipped with an ownerdelivered BWM system. The process is also approved by the relevant Class prior shipment.

This BWM solution contributes to faster interface installation on-board. Looking ahead FAYARD has a further 32 BWM systems ordered for installation, plus a significant pool of tenders in the market - all to be carried out before the 2024 milestone.

During this third quarter, more LNG tankers and LNG propelled vessels have been at FAYARD underlining that LNG as propellant is one of the alternative fuels on the road towards zero emissions. Ships in FAYARD have included: • Three large LNG tankers (300 m x 50 m) have been in for safe and efficient services during their first drydocking since launch • Two combination gas tankers

One of the large Yamal LNG tankers entering FAYARD’s large graving dock

• Two LNG dual-fuel propelled chemical/ product tankers The two dual-fuel ships are part of a series built 2016 have been upgraded to also being able to run on 100% Liquid Biogas (LBG). Currently the operation is testing a LNG/LBG blend and the target is to increase the LBG percentage in parallel with the increasing availability of the ISCC-approved LBG which is made from organic waste and residues. The LNG/LBG blended operation as a mean to continuously improve the vessels GHG emissions is also seen at other vessels in the Baltic area of operation why we can expect the LBG to become one step in the direction of the future fuels.

High on the agenda at FAYARD is the means to be implemented for lower vessel emissions.

Looking forward to January 2023, all vessels built before 2015 must have the EEXI figure settled whereas vessels built 2015 and onwards are designed to a specific EEDI figure. Looking into the variables of the EEXI calculation and the EEXI requirement to meet, there is no doubt the incremental implementation of Energy Saving Devices (ESD) is going to be one of the significant contributions to secure that the 20232030 required Carbon reductions, covered by the Carbon Intensity Indication (CII) targets, are achieved.

Vard Electro wins two conversion contracts Norway’s Vard Electro has announced the signing of two new contracts with Simon Møkster Shipping. The vessels Stril Orion and Stril Polar is scheduled to be hybrid ready by the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022,

Page 4 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

qualifying them for DNV’s Battery Power notation.

Simon Møkster Shipping has ordered SeaQ Energy Storage System from the technology company Vard Electro, enhancing the company’s efficiency and environmental performance. Vard Electro is continuously developing new solutions to increase energy efficiency and has since 2016 installed their SeaQ battery technology on-board vessels all around the world.

“We are glad to be partnering up with Vard Electro for a second time. With a goal to further increase our fleet’s fuel efficiency and to become more environmentally friendly, Vard Electro and their SeaQ technology was a natural choice for us”, says Tom Karlsen, Chief Technology Officer at Simon Møkster Shipping.

Vard Electro will be utilising its experience as system integrators and deliver a retrofit, deckhouse energy storage system, for hybrid battery power on-board the two platform supply vessels. The company will be responsible for the entire project which includes engineering, steel prefabrication, installation, integration, testing, and commissioning. Planning and installation will be carried out in close collaboration with Simon Møkster Shipping to ensure minimum off-hire days.

“We are excited to once again have been chosen to deliver our SeaQ Energy Storage System on-board two of Simon Møkster Shipping’s platform supply vessels. We have a solid competence in battery installations, and as a total supplier we can facilitate the installation of battery solutions with minimum downtime.

We are proud that Simon Møkster Shipping reverted to us for our SeaQ solutions, and we warmly welcome them back”, says Johan Stavik, Sales Manager at Vard Electro.

The SeaQ Energy Storage System (ESS) enables the vessels to utilise excess energy in all operating conditions, as well as simplifying the use of shore power. This can substantially reduce consumption and emissions in addition to reducing the vessels’ maintenance requirement - without compromising operational performance.

Based on unique hybrid technology the main purpose of the SeaQ ESS system is to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and increase safety. The SeaQ ESS stores excess energy available in the vessels to use it later to reduce fuel consumption and optimise vessel performance. It facilitates for operations with fewer engines online and the engines online can operate at a more optimal load. Safety is increased due to the batteries’ ability to supply

immediate energy in critical situations.

Control and monitoring of the hybrid system is handled by the SeaQ EMS and the SeaQ PMS, communicating with existing control systems on-board. SeaQ ESS includes modes for peak shaving, spinning reserve and zero emission transit. By using the batteries to absorb and dispense energy through load fluctuations and running the engines at optimal load, significant efficiency improvements in fuel consumption and emission can be achieved.

Royal IHC wins APC maintenance contract Holland’s Royal IHC and Jordan’s Arab Potash Company (APC) have prolonged

their relationship with the signing of an operation and maintenance contract for the latest delivered customised CSD Alkaramah.

The vessel was delivered by Royal IHC early 2021 and has been put into operation at the Dead Sea in Jordan, where it is being used to excavate the sea bed to construct a new pier for the company’s pumps station. This maintenance contract builds on the positive results of a threeyear maintenance contract between APC and Royal IHC on two CSDs – Jarash (a custom-built CSD) and Mutah (Beaver 40), both delivered by Royal IHC in 2018.

With this new contract, Royal IHC will provide the operational crew to perform the dredging operation on Alkaramah’s first dredging job the development of a new pump station inlet that will be used to pump water from the Dead Sea to the mining ponds of APC. Dredging

The Alkaramah

Page 6 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

in the Dead Sea is specialist work due to the depth. For dredging up to 32 m it is not possible to use the vessel’s spud poles. Instead, the Alkaramah will be operated with a christmas tree configuration which requires the specialist operational knowledge, to be provided by the Royal IHC crew, to make sure the vessel is working at its utmost efficiency. The crew will also work according to a detailed dredging plan developed by Royal IHC’s dredging consultants.

The contract also comprises a maintenance agreement for the operational period in order to achieve and maintain an agreed level of uptime and sustainable performance of the dredger. All maintenance and repair work will be managed and executed by a dedicated team of IHC maintenance engineers from the local built workshop on APC’s premises. Royal IHC will operate and maintain the Alkaramah working at the intake basin of Dead Sea for a period of nine months or until the dredging plan is completed.

“On behalf of everyone working at Royal IHC world-wide, we would like to thank APC for the continued trust in IHC highlighted by the signing of the Alkaramah operations and maintenance contract”, says Area Sales Director Amin Ezzeddin. “The unique environmental conditions at APC, provides us with endless learning and development opportunities catalysing innovation. And with this we trust that we can further contribute to the competitiveness of APC in the global mining market.”

Dr Maen Nsour, president of APC added, “On behalf of APC management, I would like to thank Royal IHC for its craftsmanship, their reliable and durable machines, co-operation and high quality of after sales services, and continuous follow up and support.” SORJ

Eddie Purves

New personnel at A&P UK’s A&P Group has announced several appointments over recent weeks. The new group managing director will be Eddie Purves, formally of BAE Systems, takes the lead of A&P’s three facilities, following more than 36 years at BAE Systems.

Eddie joined BAE Systems in 1985 as an electrical apprentice and worked on many key commercial and warship shipbuilding programmes. Throughout his career, Eddie has been involved in a total of 36 new build projects. In 2003, Eddie joined the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, where he led on the development of the outfit strategy and block build outsourcing for the HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

In 2017, he took on the role of Ship build Delivery Director, leading the operations team building three £1bn Type 26 vessels, HMS Glasgow, HMS Cardiff and HMS Belfast, leading a workforce of more than 1500 people.

A&P Group has also appointed a new Director of Defence - Matt Weetch takes the helm of A&P Group’s dedicated defence division as Managing Director Gerald Pitts retires after 46 years in the business. Having joined A&P as Business Development Director

in 2019, Matt is now tasked with leading the division as well as managing and winning defence-related bids and will be supported

by Jonathan Green, Cluster Director. Prior to joining A&P Group Matt enjoyed a 25-year career in the Royal Navy and has a wealth of marine industry expertise.

Meanwhile, A&P Australia (Atlantic & Peninsula Australia), one of Australia’s leading marine engineering businesses, has recently appointed two new Non-Executive Directors to support its next phase of growth. Rear Admiral Phil Spedding DSC, AM and Rear Admiral Mark Purcell AM have joined A&P Australia, bringing almost 70 years of naval experience to the company.

New owners for Balboa shipyard The Government of Panama, through the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) has awarded the 20-year concession for the rehabilitation, development and administration of the Balboa Shipyard to a subsidiary of Las Palmas-based shiprepairer Astilleros Canarios (ASTICAN) – Astilleros Puerto Balboa (ASTIBAL).

ASTIBAL will pay the AMP US$14.4m fee for the concession and will spend a further $20m on upgrading the yard, which is at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal.

ASTIBAL was the only one of 12 companies that showed an interest in the shiprepair yard that submitted a bid. The shipyard’s operations were taken over by the AMP in 2020 after the previous operator, MEC Shipyard defaulted on payment. AMP has been running the facility on an ‘Area Space Concession’ and using the two smallest drydocks for repair work.

Balboa Shipyard has three graving docks, the largest (31.8 m x 33.6 m) being capable of accommodating panamax size vessels, with Dock 2 measuring 120 m x 25.9 m and Dock 3 measuring 70 m x 16.8 m.

in the first stage, the design stage, within the CPP, alongside BMT and Navantia.

Meanwhile, H&W has signed a MoU with Spain’s Navantia and Windar Renovables to target specific fixed and floating offshore wind projects primarily within the UK. The agreement signals a firm commitment from all three parties to actively secure wind farm development projects and execute them together.

This collaboration will enable H&W to take better advantage of the offshore wind opportunities set out in the UK Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution.

H&W will be able to harness Navantia’s extensive experience and adopt their advanced technologies - better positioning it to be a more attractive and competitive proposition to wind farm developers as they seek to work with UK companies to develop windfarms off UK shores.

H&W is currently in competition with Babcock Rosyth for a 10-year drydocking, repair and maintenance contract from the UK’s MOD for work on the Royal Navy’s two new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers - HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

The 10-year contract will start in February 2022 and will see HMS Queen Elizabeth undertake one scheduled drydocking and her sister HMS Prince of Wales drydocking twice.

The contract also includes eventualities for any emergency drydocking required.

Placing faith in its future, H&W has welcomed some 34 new apprentices across

Shipyards all four sites - Appledore, Arnish, Belfast and Methil, as part of its first ‘Apprentice Induction Event.’

The apprenticeship scheme will run in line and with partnerships from - Petroc College for Harland & Wolff (Appledore), Lews Castle College for Harland & Wolff (Arnish), Northern Regional College for Harland & Wolff (Belfast) and Fife College for Harland & Wolff (Methil).

ASRY benefits from energy efficiency Bahrain’s ASRY is already seeing benefits from an Energy Efficiency initiative, as a newly deployed Power Capacitor bank has reduced the yard’s consumption without affecting productivity, and created over $50k savings in first six months.

“ASRY is committed to energy efficiency on two fronts,” confirmed ASRY Managing Director, Mazen Matar. “(Firstly) for our customers - our expertise in installing energy efficient products and upgrades on their vessels and, (Secondly) – for our community, nation and planet - by reducing the yard’s environmental impact through carbon-reducing initiatives, such as these power capacitor banks.”

ASRY has a number of environmental projects underway, including becoming the first shipyard to achieve global standards in green steel recycling of vessels, a yard-wide solar panel project under development, in addition to production energy improvements, such as LED lighting rigs and these power capacitor banks.

By deploying correcting capacitor banks, the power factor required for yard equipment, for example welding transformers, compressors,

pumps, machines, dehumidifiers and cranes, can be efficiently stepped-down, wasting less energy.

New apprenticeship scheme at PDD Linked Solutions SW Limited, which offers marine engineering services and consultancy, has launched a brand new Marine Apprenticeship Scheme. The fouryear Apprenticeship Programme will involve vessel maintenance, repair work and four new apprentices will work closely with Linked Solutions’ team of expert marine engineers out of Penzance’s historic Dry Dock. All training will be at the employer’s premises, removing the lost time and cost of travel for the apprentices.

Linked Solutions also operates Penzance Dry Dock (PDD) and Jamie Murphy, CEO says this Apprenticeship Scheme will be a benchmark for Cornish schemes. “We want to give these

The ASRY yard in Bahrain

young people the best chance of future success and we believe the scope of skills development here at the Dry Dock will deliver Cornwall some very highly skilled apprentices. The opportunity for learning is as valuable for Cornwall’s marine sector as it is for the young people involved because our apprentices will have the opportunity to work across the whole sector, on a variety of projects that include defence, small dayboats and larger commercial fishing and leisure vessels,” says Jamie Murphy, CEO of Linked Solutions.

Working alongside qualified engineers, the successful candidates will work towards a Level 3 NVQ in Engineering Technology.

The marine engineer apprenticeship is an opportunity to work alongside, and learn from, Linked Solutions’ skilled team. It is envisaged that full-time roles will be available following the successful completion of the four-year apprenticeship, which is being delivered in association with Cornwall Marine Network (CMN).

CMN, established in 2002, is focused on improving the economic prosperity of marine businesses in Cornwall and are the training partner in the Apprenticeship Programme.

Together, the two organisations are striving to provide a robust programme that includes mentorship, learning and plenty of practical experience.

“CMN is delighted to support Jamie Murphy and his team at PDD with its new apprenticeship project. Without Jamie’s intervention, PDD was in danger of becoming holiday apartments.

However, Jamie has now secured this valuable marine engineering facility for the future of the sector. Our joint apprenticeship programme will develop the future skills needed to underpin this growth,” says Paul Wickes MBE, CEO of CMN. SORJ

Together with Drydocks World we will focus our efforts through the conversion works on reaching this shared goal in a safe manner.”

Sembcorp Marine completes wind project and wins Australian award Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine has successfully completed the fabrication of the Offshore Substation (OSS) and Reactive Compensation Station (RCS) for Ørsted Wind Power subsidiary Optimus Wind Limited. Constructed at Sembcorp Marine’s integrated facilities, the OSS is the largest AC offshore substation and together with the RCS, they have a combined weight of 10,200 tonnes. In addition to

Page 12 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

fabrication, Sembcorp Marine spearheaded the engineering, procurement, hook-up and commissioning works for the Substations.

Located in the North Sea some 89 kms off the Yorkshire Coast, Hornsea Two spans an offshore area of 462 kms2 and will be the world’s largest wind farm when it goes into operation in 2022. With capacity of 1.4 GW, the farm will provide power to more than 1.3m homes in the United Kingdom.

The Substations will reach their destination during late September 2021 for integration with their jackets. Installation of the OSS and RCS jacket foundations was completed in October 2020 by Sleipnir, the world’s strongest semisubmersible crane vessel built by Sembcorp Marine.

Meanwhile, Sembcorp Marine, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters, has secured an exclusive contract from Altera Infrastructure GP LLC, to undertake the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) work for the FPSO facility for the Dorado project.

Located in the Bedout Sub-basin, offshore Western Australia, Dorado is an integrated oil and gas project which is expected to have an initial oil production of 75,000 to 100,000 bbls/day, with subsequent development of significant gas resources. Operated by Australian energy company, Santos Ltd, Dorado will be one of the lowest emission intensity oil and gas projects in the region, given its very low CO2 reservoir with approximately 1.5% CO2 and plans for the reinjection of gas in the initial phase.

The FEED work is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2022. This is the Group’s third EPC project in collaboration with Altera Infrastructure, following the successful delivery of FPSO Pioneiro de Libra and FPSO Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai in 2017 and 2012 respectively.

first ‘complete’ installation job executed by Pioneering Spirit. She lifted the 2,100 tonne electrical substation safely into place on its jacket foundation on August 18th, having installed the 50 m tall supporting structure earlier in the week.

Saint-Nazaire, also known as Parc du Banc de Guérande, is the first commercial-scale wind farm in French waters. The 480 MW substation will be the heart of the development, converting the energy generated by 80 turbines and exporting the electricity to the French mainland.

The speed and ease with which she can transport and install large high-voltage convertor platforms in all conditions makes Pioneering Spirit a perfect fit for the offshore wind energy industry. Aside from playing a key role in the installation of large transformer stations, we also see a future role for our game changer in the installation of next generation turbines and monopiles, so heavy and large that they greatly benefit from a vessel of Pioneering Spirit’s capabilities for transportation and installation.

Offshore contracts for Royston UK’s Royston has assisted in the overhaul of diesel power plant on-board one of Europe’s largest drilling ships as it sailed while on passage. Drawing on its international capabilities and resources, a five-strong team of Royston engineers undertook the 48,000hr overhaul of a Wartsila W16V16 diesel generator on-board Stena Drilling’s 58,294 gt, 228 m long Stena Carron, as part of a planned maintenance programme. The job was completed as the ship sailed from the Caribbean to a position off the Guyana coast, where she is currently carrying out drilling

operations.

This saw the replacement of parts where necessary as part of a 48,000 hr service. This included inspection and refurbishment work on the crankshaft main and thrust bearings, main bearing jacks, connecting rods, piston rings, crowns and skirts, along with the installation of new big end bearing shells.

Royston engineers also completed the replacement of OEM overhauled turbocharger cartridges and repairs to the turbocharger exhaust manifold, carried out upgrades to intermediate gears, camshaft gears, and the speed governor. Following completion of the work, the generator was fully checked and tested to ensure maximum operational capacity.

Fraser Scott, engineering superintendent at Stena Drilling, said, “Royston has completed another quality job for us during these challenging times. It reflects the experience and expertise they bring to their work, going over and above expectations in support of our vessel fleet operations and maintenance.”

Shaun Cairns, Royston’s operations manager on the contract, added, “This latest project for Stena Drilling shows that regardless of a vessel’s location in the world, and the status of its engines, we have the flexibility and resources to respond rapidly with a highly skilled and efficient engineering team.”

Built in 2008, the Stena Carron is one of six vessels in the Stena Drilling fleet and is a sixth-generation harsh environment, multipurpose dynamically positioned drillship, capable of drilling to depths up to 10,000 ft.

It has managed pressure drilling capabilities, a wireless unit tower and enhanced drilling fluid storage.

Meanwhile, Royston has completed the rapid turnaround of service work on diesel power plant systems on-board a Global Offshore IMR and ROV support vessel. Drawing on its extensive capabilities and resources, an eightstrong team of Royston engineers undertook the 40,000-hour overhaul of two Bergen B32/40L8ACD main diesel generators onboard the 11,324 gt Global Symphony while the vessel was moored in the Port of Blyth in the UK. The job was completed in a tight 10-day time frame with engineers working around the clock in shifts to strip down both diesel engines, completing repairs and replacement of parts where necessary to the engine bearings, pistons, liners, conrods and cylinder heads.

The units were then reassembled and tested for operational performance.

Engineers also checked the condition of the turbochargers before sending them to Royston’s specialist test and repair centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, where they were refurbished and rebalanced before being returned to the vessel, with no impact on the overall duration of the job.

The Global Symphony is a 2011 purposebuilt IMR and ROV support vessel, undertaking deep water remote intervention, renewables, construction and survey work. It has an extensive 1,400 m2 deck capacity and is currently involved in projects in the offshore renewables and power markets.

BW Offshore to develop Barossa FPSO Norway’s BW Offshore has announced a partnership with international global infrastructure investors for the equity financing of the FPSO for the Barossa gas field offshore Australia operated by Santos’ subsidiary Santos NA Barossa on behalf of the Upstream Joint Venture partners.

The Barossa FPSO services contract has an initial production period of 15 years, with options to extend the production period (in the aggregate) for a further 10 years. The contract value based on the initial production period of 15 years is US$4.6bn. BW Offshore will be responsible for engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and operation of the FPSO. The FPSO will be turret moored with a new built hull based on BW Offshore’s RapidFramework design. Initial gas production from the FPSO is expected during the first half of 2025.

The Barossa FPSO will be financed by a 14year combined construction and long-term debt facility of $1.150bn and $240m from the equity joint venture, as well as approximately $1bn

in pre- payments by Santos and the Barossa Upstream Joint Venture Partners during the construction period.

The joint venture agreement has been signed by all parties and completion of the agreement is subject to certain customary regulatory approvals which are expected within the next month.

Wärtsilä to convert OSV for Eidesvik Finland’s Wärtsilä and Norway’s Eidesvik Offshore ASA have signed a landmark cooperation agreement aimed at converting an OSV to operate with an ammonia-fuelled combustion engine with required fuel supply and safety system. This project will be the first of its kind ever in the world and has a provisional completion target by the end of 2023.

The OSV considered for a retrofit currently has Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines operating primarily with LNG fuel. The conversion will allow the vessel to operate with a 70% ammonia blend. Wärtsilä has already successfully laboratory tested an engine fuelled with a 70% ammonia blend. The ultimate goal is to achieve operation with 100% ammonia and with a minimum ignition fuel requirement.

As a fuel, ammonia has the potential to drastically reduce emissions of CO2. Both Wärtsilä and Eidesvik have stated their commitment to supporting the industry’s efforts to decarbonise its operations.

Eidesvik has a strong track record in supporting sustainable innovations, having used LNG fuel in its fleet from as early as 2003, and

fuel cells from 2006. The company believes that to achieve the industry’s decarbonisation targets, not only newbuilds will need to have the appropriate technologies, but existing vessels must also be retrofitted accordingly.

Furthermore, prolonging the life of existing assets requires less capital and is less energyintensive than building new ones.

Wärtsilä and Eidesvik are also partners in the EU-funded ShipFC project to equip a platform supply vessel, the Viking Energy with a 2 MW fuel cell running on green ammonia. The installation is scheduled to take place in late 2023.

This ammonia conversion project also ties in with one of the on-going work streams of the Wärtsilä-led Zero Emissions Energy Distribution at Sea (ZEEDS) project, aimed at developing ammonia-powered newbuilds and converting suitable existing vessels.

The Valaris DS-12

Page 16 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

The Ultra-deepwater drillship Valaris DS-12 has become the first vessel in the world to receive the ABS Enhanced Electrical System Notation EHS-E. Valaris upgraded the vessel’s electrical system to secure the notation, which recognizes sophisticated system design to improve reliability and enhance protection. The Valaris electrical system is specifically designed to allow the drillship to optimise powerplant performance, enabling operations on fewer generators and reducing emissions.

“It is great to see Valaris become the first to secure this notation, which recognizes its commitment to sustainable operations and investment in advanced electrical systems to increase efficiency. As the world’s leading global offshore Class, ABS is well placed to help forward thinking operators such as Valaris achieve next generation operations,” said Matt Tremblay, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore.

“With this enhanced notation, Valaris DS-12 exemplifies our company’s purpose of providing responsible solutions that deliver energy to the world. I want to recognize our engineers, ABS and thank our customer, BP, for their support.

This is truly a remarkable team achievement that paves the way to more sustainable deepwater drilling,” said Gilles Luca, Valaris Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

ABS has surveyed the upgraded system and tested it to ensure it can operate on reduced generator power. The short circuit and fault ride through capability was demonstrated on-board the vessel with ABS in attendance. SORJ

Paints & Coatings This may prove problematical as the majority of owners/managers have regular agreements with other such companies.

International has already gained some success with the Intertrac HullCare system, with a cruiseship operator and shipyards in South Korea and Japan using the system. There are two ship building in South Korea with the system installed – a containerships and a ro/ro vessel.

Norway’s ECOsubsea, the sustainable robotic end-to-end biofouling solution welcomes the announcement of an innovative hull management tool ‘intertrac Hullcare’ from AkzoNobel. AkzoNobel has identified the need to further support the maritime industry’s carbon neural roadmap and the huge opportunity that can be achieved with sustainable and wellplanned but flexible hull maintenance.

A drone in action with International’s Intertrac system

AkzoNobel introduces Intertrac AkzoNobel, through its International brand, has introduced Intertrac HullCare solution, a hull system which is claimed offers operators unrivalled fuel and emissions savings.

International, which celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, is providing shipowners/ managers with extra control over vessel efficiency and environmental performance via launch of this new hull management solution that guarantees speed loss of up to 1% over a 10-year period – quite a revolutionary guarantee.

Intertrac HullCare combines highperformance hull coating technology from the International range, cutting-edge ROV (remote operating vehicle) inspection, and big data performance monitoring with proven hull cleaning techniques aligned with the BIMCO industry standard - resulting in the industry’s most environmentally sustainable hull management package to date.

Customers have the option to choose between a five-year or 10-year scheme to help operators deliver maximum fleet efficiency. Over a 10-year period, Intertrac HullCare can help operators achieve step-changing reductions in CO2 emissions of up to 34,000 tonnes and fuel savings of €4.6m in comparison to a typical five-year fouling control system, by ensuring that smooth, clean hulls are maintained. These figures are based on a conventional LNG tanker, which has been tested using the system. This is

all achieved without upfront capital investment in on-board robotic equipment installation and associated costs of vessel modification.

The Intertrac HullCare data suite, operational cycle, value adding guidance and flexible docking intervals all ensure customers can take unprecedented control of their vessel’s hull management and make informed decisions, with confidence.

Jean-Michel Gauthier, Director for AkzoNobel Marine, Protective and Yacht Coatings comments, “AkzoNobel is committed to investing in the sustainability of our company and that of our industry partners.”

John Willsher, Global Account Manager - Marine for AkzoNobel said, “Our Intertrac HullCare system sets new standards for operational efficiencies, delivering more addedvalue and going further than any other system currently on the market.

“It optimises paint consumption and maintenance while having the lowest environmental footprint of any similar scheme, as well as future-proofing against environmental legislation. That includes the use of reclamation when cleaning which we believe is of particular importance in mitigating the risk of translocation of invasive species.”

AkzoNobel has reached agreements with three underwater specialists – HullWiper (headquartered in Dubai), ECOsubsea (Norway) and C-Leanship (Singapore), all of which are currently expanding networks to cover this agreement. Owners/managers are obliged to use any of these three companies for underwater inspection, monitoring and cleaning activities if they sign up for the Intertrac HullCare system.

J​ otun and U-Ming in deal for HSS Taiwan’s U-Ming, China’s SWS and Norway’s Jotun have signed commercial agreement for the ground-breaking Jotun Hull Skating Solutions (HSS) for U-Ming’s 190,000 dwt dual fuel bulk carrier newbuilding project at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS) in Shanghai, China. U-Ming’s vessels are expected to be delivered throughout 2022/2023.

Jotun’s HSS combines the Hull Skater, an underwater robotic device with hull inspection and cleaning capabilities, and SeaQuantum Skate, a purpose developed anti-fouling coating.

The solution will be fitted on one of U-Ming’s four LNG dual- fuel Tier III 190,000 dwt bulk carriers to be built by SWS to support the long term charter with mining giant Anglo American.

Meanwhile, a new Jotun study based on EU Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) data has revealed vessels using Jotun Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) reported a 20%

Paints and Coatings lower carbon intensity in operations during 2019 and 2020.

Cross-checked statistics also indicate lower carbon emissions than from vessels known to be sailing with some ‘low-friction’ foul-release silicone coatings that claim to offer marketleading performance. Only coatings applied within the three years preceding the emissions report were considered. The internal study carried out by Jotun investigated major cargo vessel types, including bulk carriers, chemical tankers and oil tankers, with a dataset of almost 9,000 vessels, and the emissions report was verified by accredited parties.

The Carbon Intensity Index (CII) set to be implemented by IMO in 2023 focuses on the yearly reduction in emissions during operations.

So vessel owners cannot just rely on the ‘out-ofdock’ effect of hull maintenance. They need a reliable and effective anti-fouling solution that will perform consistently throughout the service interval. Maintaining a cleaner hull with minimal fouling means a vessel has less resistance when sailing through water. Consequently, less power and fuel are required for the same speed and this directly reduces the amount of CO2 released. Jotun’s HPS have a proven track record of long-term reliability and will become more important than ever for vessel owners to gain a competitive advantage.

Vessels may be technically designed to be energy efficient and meet the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Energy Efficiency

Existing Ship Index (EEXI) requirements. In actual service, however, marine fouling, weather conditions and operational factors come into play. While there are multiple ways to reduce the carbon intensity of operations, fouling protection is perhaps one of the most important and easiest to take advantage of.

It is already part of every drydocking. It is also the one with the most crucial aspect, as the increased resistance of a fouled hull can easily negate efficiency gains from energy saving devices and modifications. The best approach is to use a combination of approaches. In the study based on EU MRV data, container vessels with Jotun HPS reported 49% lower carbon emissions compared to their non-HPS peers, and a 10% advantage over vessels using some ‘low-friction’ foul-release silicone coatings.

Ecospeed on-board icebreaking bulk carrier During April 2021 the 31,992 dwt icebreaking bulk carrier Umiak I was coated with Ecospeed.

Application was carried out at Poland’s Remontowa, Gdansk. The ship is owned by Fednav and managed by Canship Ugland Ltd. The Umiak I was built in 2006 and is one of the most powerful of its kind. The vessel operates year round on the Labrador Coast, delivering supplies to the remote mine and hauling nickel

concentrate to southern facilities. The hull is reinforced to navigate unassisted through ice that is 1.5 m thick. On its regular run down the Labrador coast, Umiak I contends with some of the world’s most rugged ice conditions, including icebergs, from November to July each year.

While the open-water speed in a laden condition is some 13.5 knots, the bulk carrier is capable of making over three knots in level first year ice of 1.5 m thickness. Capability for effective ice ramming goes hand-in-hand with the ICE-15 classification. The ramming procedure entails sailing at a specified speed through the ice until the vessel is brought to a stop by the resistance of the ice. The vessel is then put astern to come free of the packed ice, and is then sailed full ahead, to break through the ice until brought up again by the force of resistance. The procedure is used for thick ice and ice ridges.”

It is not difficult to see that a special hull coating is required to withstand this kind of impact and tremendous power. During the 2016 drydocking, it was decided to apply two test patches of Ecospeed coating to areas most prone to damage. Over the next five winter seasons the condition of the Ecospeed test patches was examined and found to hold up to the very difficult conditions despite the continuous impact with ice. The decision was made to replace the entire underwater hull coating with Ecospeed at the next drydocking.

The application was completed during her scheduled main survey and BWM system installation at Remontowa. Another advantage of Ecospeed to both shipowner and shipyard is ease and flexibility of application. The entire system is applied in only two homogeneous coats and the overcoating time can be as short as three or four hours, all the way up to weeks or even months if needed. Therefore, an Ecospeed application can easily be adapted to a shipyard’s schedule or to unpredictable weather conditions.

The ship’s rudder and nozzle were also protected with Subsea Industries’ coating systems. First corrosion damage on the nozzle was repaired with Ecofix. This restored the surface back to its original shape with a smooth surface prior to recoating with Ecoshield.

Experience has shown that Ecospeed stays on the hull longer and resists the ice far better than the most generally used specialised ice coatings.

The coating remains bonded to the ship’s plates even as they flex and bend under ice pressure and impact. SORJ

Machinery

The F.A. Gauthier

Machinery activities at Wärtsilä Wärtsilä has developed and delivered a mobile battery container solution that will enable inland waterway vessels to operate with zero emissions.

The first order, comprising three units, was placed by ZES (Zero Emission Services), a Netherlands-based company founded in 2020

by ING Bank, energy and technical service provider Engie, the Port of Rotterdam, and Wärtsilä.

The battery containers are installed on a 104 teu inland waterway container vessel, which has been modified to allow two units to be mounted on-board. The system enables the vessel to operate on full electric power alone, with no carbon emissions being generated. The energy capacity is equivalent to that of approximately 36 electric passenger cars. When discharged, the containers can be exchanged and charged onshore using energy from renewable sources.

This replaceability is unique since battery containers have thus far been stationary installations.

The Wärtsilä swappable battery container is fully equipped with safety systems, including an on-board fire protection skid. It is connected for remote monitoring. The operational and certification trials were carried out commencing in the end of August, 2021.

The concept, which is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, is based on a network of open access charging points. Here, depleted battery containers can be exchanged for fully charged replacements. A ‘pay-per-use’ model has been set-up whereby ZES charges only for the cost

of consumed renewable energy. This allows the vessel’s operating costs to remain competitive.

This first vessel fitted with the Wärtsilä battery containers, the Alphenaar commenced operations along the Zoeterwoude – Alpherium – Moerdijk corridor in the Netherlands on September 6th 2021. The vessel transports beer for Heineken, who is the first customer for the service.

Wärtsilä has recently entered into a number of customised five-year Optimised Maintenance Agreement (OMA), including Canadian ferry operator Societé des Traversiers du Quebec (STQ). The agreement covers the F.A. Gauthier, a 133 m long ferry operating with Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel engines and other Wärtsilä equipment. There is a further five-year extension option. This agreement is a renewal of a maintenance agreement that had been running for the previous five years.

Among the services provided by the Wärtsilä OMA are the company’s unique Expert Insight tool and Data-Driven Dynamic Maintenance

The Aurora Botnia

Page 22 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

Planning made possible by the Wärtsilä Data Collection Unit (WDCU). Expert Insight uses artificial intelligence and advanced diagnostics to take predictive maintenance to a level not earlier possible. It is estimated that unplanned downtime can be reduced by 30 to 50%.

Communication between Wärtsilä’s experts and on-board crew can take place via the Expert Insight collaboration app. The WDCU collects and transmits operational data to the cloud for remote monitoring. This facilitates advanced analytics, thus providing accurate insight into the vessel’s performance.

In addition to the Wärtsilä engines, support is also provided to the Wärtsilä LNGPac fuel storage, supply, and control system, the Gas Valve Unit, and the ship’s electrical and automation systems. Included will be scheduled maintenance parts, field service, workshop services, and logistics for the covered equipment.

Wärtsilä and Wasaline, the Finnish–Swedish ferry operator, have signed a 10-year OMA covering the company’s new ferry, the Aurora Botnia. The agreement was signed in June 2021, but became effective in September. Built at the RMC shipyard in Finland, the Aurora Botnia is the most environmentally-friendly ro/ pax ferry in the world. The ship’s propulsion is based on a hybrid solution featuring the highly efficient Wärtsilä 31DF dual-fuel engine and batteries. The Wärtsilä 31DF will operate primarily on LNG fuel but will also be able to use BioLNG, a totally renewable fuel that can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional marine fuels. It emits no particulate matter (PM), and close to zero levels of NOx and SOx. The comprehensive Wärtsilä OMA includes the latest digital solutions based on artificial intelligence to provide effective predictive

The Megastar

maintenance support and the ability to identify potential faults before they actually happen.

The service also makes it possible to tune the operation to achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint and minimise unscheduled downtime.

The vessel will act as a floating test laboratory linked to Wärtsilä’s Smart Technology Hub in Vaasa, Finland, allowing real-time operational monitoring. This will maximise efficiency and provide valuable data for future developments of solutions capable of the highest levels of sustainability.

In addition to the hybrid propulsion system, the Aurora Botnia also features Wärtsilä’s Data Bridge platform. This enables advanced data analytics that provide insight into the ship’s performance at all times, thereby unlocking further potential for enhancing operational and technical efficiencies.

The ship will operate with four Wärtsilä 31DF engines, Wärtsilä’s LNG Pac gas storage solution, as well as with Wärtsilä thrusters, catalysators, controls, integrated electrical and automation systems, and an energy and power management system controlling the hybrid power solution. The ferry also features Wärtsilä’s Nacos Platinum integrated vessel control system.

The 150 m long ferry will have an 800 passenger capacity and 1,500 lane metres for vehicles. It will sail between Vaasa in Finland and Umeå in Sweden. Both ports will provide LNG bunkering facilities and battery charging capability. The eco-friendly vessel will help preserve the Kvarken World Heritage site through which it will operate.

Wärtsilä Voyage’s Fleet Operations Solution (FOS) is to be employed by Denmark’s UltraShip for its entire fleet of 18 LPG tankers.

The solution saves costs while increasing safety by automatically optimising the route and speed of the vessel. It also provides the fullest and

latest voyage data, keeping both on-board and onshore personnel informed and notified.

The contract was signed in the fourth quarter of 2020 and roll-out will take place during the first and second quarter of 2021.

As part of the contract, Wärtsilä Voyage will upgrade the ships’ on-board electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) to support the FOS. The upgrade includes charts delivery service and weather route optimisation software.

Germany’s Zeaborn Ship Management (ZSM), Hamburg has chosen Wärtsilä FOS as the digital navigation platform for its managed tanker fleet. Each of their 12 vessels will deploy the state-of-the-art system, enabling ZSM to effectively benchmark voyage execution, support the safety of the fleet and reduce crew workload. The order with Wärtsilä Voyage was placed in December 2020.

The Wärtsilä FOS is an integrated service that combines individual processes that are otherwise separate from each other. It features a unique platform that integrates with the ship’s planning station and ECDIS using immense cloud computing power, machine learning, data analytics, and mobile applications to efficiently connect the vessel, its manager, operator, and the port.

Among the many benefits offered are a four-hour reduction in voyage planning time, automatic weather optimisation pop-up alerts, remote ECDIS diagnostic support, and fuel cost savings through better route and speed selection.

connection solution will allow Tallink ro/pax Megastar to plug into the local grid for quiet and emission-free overnight layovers in the Port of Tallinn. Fuelled by low-emission LNG, Megastar makes three return journeys between the Estonian and Finnish capitals each day, with an overnight stay in Tallinn where it needs to keep generators running to ensure energy availability for on-board systems. With ABB’s shore connection solution, the vessel will be able to cover its energy needs in port by drawing on land-based power.

With commissioning due to take place in January 2022 while the ferry is in operation, Megastar will become the second vessel in the Tallink fleet to feature ABB’s shore connection solution. The second vessel is MyStar, currently under construction in Rauma Marine Constructions, Rauma, Finland, will have the technology pre-fitted upon its delivery in 2022.

Both ferries will leverage the ABB shore power systems installed at the Old City Harbour, Port of Tallinn in 2020. Designed in compliance with international regulations, the plug-in solution automates the ship-to-shore connection process and offers a high level of safety and reliability.

“We are delighted to continue driving environmentally-friendly ferry operations across our fleet,” said Captain Tarvi-Carlos Tuulik, Head of Ship Management at Tallink Grupp.

“From next year, both shuttle ferry Megastar and our newbuilding MyStar – the most environmentally friendly vessel on the Baltic Sea – will be able to leverage the ABB shoreside infrastructure that already exists at the Port of Tallinn’s Old City Harbour, to cut down harbour emissions and noise during overnight stays.

This is another important step for Tallink Grupp towards achieving greener energy use and ecofriendliness for our shipping operations close to city centres, and it will make a big difference to local community in terms of minimising noise

“The Baltic Sea is a global hub for sustainable shipping initiatives, and we are honoured to support Tallink on its sustainability journey,” said Jyri Jusslin, Head of Service, ABB Marine & Ports. “Our shore connection solutions comprise on-board and shoreside infrastructure and will allow Tallink to reduce the overall impact of its operations and contribute towards a cleaner port environment in a historical part of Tallinn.”

Delivered by the Meyer Turku shipyard, Finland in 2017, Megastar carries up to 2,800 passengers and 646 cars at a time.

ABB’s scope of supply for the retrofit includes switchboard, shore connection cabinet and a shore connection control board with three separate ship-to-shore communication links to safeguard against loss of connection – redundant Wi-Fi, optical fibre and hardwired serial data communication. Megastar also features ABB’s propulsion motors, medium voltage generators and thruster motors. Having executed its first shipside installation in 2001, ABB has a long and successful history in shore connection technologies.

To date, ABB has commissioned, or is contracted to commission, shore connection technology on 150 vessels of various types, including ferries, cruise ships, container ships, gas carriers and more. The company has also equipped several newbuild cruise ships with shore connection switchboards, in readiness to connect to shore power as soon as it becomes available in ports of call.

WinGD develops ecosystem solution Switzerland’s ABB’s comprehensive shore Engine developer WinGD has developed an ecosystem of solutions around the main engine that enhances energy efficiency and enables a seamless transition to new fuels – the two keys to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with IMO ambitions.

The WinGD solutions deploy digital vessel optimisation and battery-hybrid energy systems to improve the energy efficiency and future fuel flexibility of its two-stroke engines. Using LNG as fuel in a low-pressure X-DF engine, for instance, can reduce GHG emissions by around 20% compared to a conventional two-stroke engine burning heavy fuel oil. Combined with the new solutions, CO2 equivalent emissions can be reduced even further - taking vessels

beyond IMO’s intermediate target of reducing carbon intensity by 40% by 2030.

“Our ecosystem approach to energy efficiency acknowledges that vessels today are complex power systems with the main engine at the heart of the integrated solution,” said Klaus Heim, CEO, WinGD. “These systems, including our engines, are fully ready for the future fuels that will take ships much further than IMO’s target of cutting GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050.”

The solutions include fuel flexibility and smart engine monitoring combined with advanced electronic control and hybrid energy management systems. WinGD’s engine expertise means that it can integrate all elements of these complex systems optimally, including advising ship owners on the sizing and operation of hybrid energy sources such as batteries.

In a recent landmark project, WinGD is integrating sustainability and efficiency enhancements through a hybrid energy system on-board four PCTCs ordered by Japan’s NYK Line. The vessels will run on LNG, using WinGD’s 7X62DF-2.1 two-stroke engines coupled with shaft generators, DC links and battery systems. WinGD has optimised spinning reserves, peak shaving, and energy flow to run the main engine at its sweet spot as much as possible while reducing the use of less efficient auxiliary engines. The system will be managed

by WinGD’s new Hybrid Control System.

“Such integrated energy management plays a key role in our vision to power the energy transition in shipping.” said Mr Heim. Through WinGD’s progressive investments in future fuels, engine control, optimisation and hybridisation, combined with the continued evolution of our core engine technology, these advances give ship owners certainty that they can meet longrange environmental targets with systems they can order today.”

Underlying the new offering is WinGD’s Integrated Digital Expert (WiDE), a cutting-edge engine monitoring and optimisation solution that is standard on all medium and large bore WinGD engines. The monitoring and support capabilities work with a robust, modern control system – WinGD Integrated Control Electronics (WiCE) – that meets the connectivity and security demands of future ship energy systems. Combined with WinGD expert training for operators and a global service network, customers are fully equipped to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

While developing the wider ecosystem of solutions, WinGD has continued to focus

Page 26 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

Klaus Heim, CEO, WinGD

on the performance and sustainability of vessels powered by its engines. The emissions advantages of their dual-fuelled X-DF twostroke series have been enhanced through the introduction of intelligent Cooling and Exhaust Recirculation (iCER), which cuts methane slip by around 50% as well as improving fuel consumption in both gas and diesel modes.

The X-DF engine can already run on carbonneutral fuels including biogas or synthetic LNG without engine modifications, preparing ship owners for the next stage in their transition to lower carbon operations. As the most widely deployed low-pressure dual-fuel technology in the marine two-stroke market, it is the ideal platform around which to build a future-ready energy system fit for the next generation of lowemission vessels.

The benefits of future fuel flexibility and potential hybridisation are not limited to gas-fuelled engines. WinGD’s X engines are powered by liquid fuels, of which there are several emerging carbon-neutral or zero-carbon candidates, including bio-diesel and alcohol fuels. The company has invested extensively in preparing to use these fuels, including leading European research into injection concepts.

The core engine offering is continuously being developed to improve efficiency and flexibility, most recently with the addition of the first integrated, on-engine NOx abatement solution in the marine two-stroke engine market. SORJ

Ballast Water Management Challenges are mind-boggling The challenges facing manufacturers of BWM systems over the coming few years are mindboggling. The target date of the end of 2024 for existing ships will place a tremendous strain upon the equipment manufacturers and the shiprepair industry unless sufficient and effective planning is undertaken by shipowners/ managers.

Tore Anderson, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, at Norway’s Optimarin, one of the world’s leading BWM system manufacturers, explains, “Optimarin has delivered some 1,200 units, 800 of which are now in operation.

The breakdown is - 800 units for the retrofit market and 400 for newbuildings. The current regulations are that all existing ships should be fitted with a BWM system by the end of 2024, therefore”, according to Tore, “the next three years will be extremely busy, with 2023 expected to be the ‘peak’ year for the retrofit market, although this will be a challenge as the retrofit market has recently been slower than expected.

This will inevitably put pressure on equipment manufacturers and shipyards over the coming three years. Only a minority of installation operations are completed outside the normal drydocking period. I personally believe that not all these ships will look for an installation as many of the older tonnage will go to the scrap yard.

“We have heard from Clarksons and various Classification Societies that between 30,000 and 35,000 ships will require the installation of a BWM system during these coming three years – that figure alone should cause alarm in the shiprepair industry. Is there enough shiprepair yard capacity to handle such a requirement?

The tempo is currently too slow – it will have to increase in volume if the 2024 target is to be achievable. Meanwhile, the newbuilding market, where we deal with the shipyards as our customer, is tough with competition pushing down prices.

“We are currently experiencing a change in the market – we normally receive some 50% of our orders from repeat customers, however, recently we have seen this ratio go down due to a strong increase in new customers ordering our systems.

“Of course the large and traditional shipowners have made suitable plans for the installations. Optimarin has a current delivery

time of some three to five weeks, although we do hold stock items for fast deliveries when required. Optimarin utilises some five to seven engineering companies to assist with the planning and installation work, however, we have recently set up a new team of engineers in our Rotterdam facility to offer a complete turn-key facility, including 3D engineering, Class requirements and the actual installation.”

Optimarin recently installed its first deckhouse-mounted unit to an Italian shipowner, involving a fleet of some nine vessels, five to be deckhouse-mounted and four engine room installations. According to Tore, “We are also currently in negotiations with four/five shipowners/managers for deckhousemounted units.” Other recent orders include two Turkish shipowners – six units for a fleet of tankers and five for containerships.

“Following the completion of the retrofit market in 2024, Optimarin will then concentrate on the newbuilding market, and

The Techcross BWM system

Ballast Water Management

The Ecochlor system on-board a bulk carrier

a shipping company specialising in the transportation of petrochemical products such as gas, LNG, and LPG, providing stable and high-quality services world-wide. Currently, 31 vessels are being operated, and in order to comply with the BWM Convention enacted

by IMO, various BWM systems were listed as candidates since 2019 and suitable products have been thoroughly reviewed.

The main determinant was the low maintenance and operating cost (OPEX). As the BWM system is used for a long period of time throughout the operational period of the vessel, even if the initial purchase cost is low, but the replacement parts or OPEX are high, the overall cost used during the life of the system will eventually increase significantly.

Considering this, the ECS by Techcross received high evaluations for its low power consumption and low OPEX with just a single treatment during ballasting, as well as being a semi-permanent product that does not require replacement of separate equipment during the period of use.

Meanwhile, Techcross’ Singapore Office has entered into a contract with Singapore’s Pacific International Lines (PIL) for Techcross BWM systems for 28 containerships in its fleet.

Even under the difficult conditions caused by the COVID-19 shutdowns, Techcross Singapore Office has been continuing the co-ordination with PIL, leading to the success of this contract.

The agreement entails sequential deliveries till 2024. PIL, with its fleet of around 100 vessels, would remain open to future possible opportunities to install Techcross BWM systems on other existing vessels in its fleet, and may consider installing on potential new vessels.

New system from Langh Tech Finland’s Langh Tech has launched its new BWM system. The in-house product development project was completed on a very fast schedule – in less than a year from first ideas to product launch.

“During autumn 2020 we started thinking that there might be a need for even more compact systems than the present ones on the

The Langh Tech team on-board the Linda

Page 30 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

market, so we decided to do one”, says Langh Tech Commercial Director Laura Langh-Lagerlöf.

The BWM system on-board Langh Ship’s11,487 dwt containership Linda, on charter to CMA CGM subsidiary, Containerships, is the first shipboard installation so far and Laura revealed that the equipment was installed while the ship was in normal operation. “We had a riding team of three men for about three or four weeks,” she said, “and the material and components we delivered to the ports where the ship is regularly calling. It can be done the same on any vessel.”

She also confirmed that systems are already in the process of being retrofitted to other vessels in the company’s 10-ship fleet and third parties have already placed orders. She explained that although formal type approvals will not be in place until early in 2022, the system has successfully completed all the land-based tests required for both IMO and USCG approval.

The six-month shipboard testing period will be completed in January 2022.

In addition to the compact size in its UV-C irradiation-based BWM unit, Langh Tech has paid special attention to the ease of operation and maintenance of the unit.

“Existing systems with cleaning-in-place solutions do after some time anyway need to be opened, and it is usually quite a job to start opening such a unit for manual cleaning. Here we took the opposite approach. We made the unit as easy as it ever can be for manual cleaning”, says Langh Tech Product Manager Kim Tervonen. “One crew member can pull out the lamps from the reactor and all lamps will slide out in a cassette from the UV reactor box.

The lamps can then very easily be cleaned by hand with a soft cloth. After cleaning the crew member simply pushes the cassette back into the UV reactor casing. Sometimes manual is just so beautiful and effective”, Kim continues. The automation interface is also highly optimised and extremely easy to use. The user needs to push only three buttons to start operating, the rest is done by the LanghBW automation, which is integrated with the automation system of the vessel.

Manufacturing of the UV reactors takes place at the Langh Tech production facilities close to Turku in Finland. In the same facilities Langh Tech also manufactures the water treatment units for closed loop SOx scrubbers. “At the moment we have available production capacity and can offer short delivery times for both SOx scrubber systems and BWM systems”, says Laura.

Chemical Tankers Challenged chemical sector on go-slow recovery Unlike some other shipping sectors, the chemical tanker market was not struck down by the pandemic in the same way as some other sectors.

However, rates fell gradually over the course of 2020 and have either continued to drift downwards or, in the case of trades out of the Middle East, to hold fairly steady over this year. However, there were signs of a firmer market by mid-October, with rates out of the Middle East to both east and west, strengthening.

Brokers suggested this could be explained by Chinese port congestion and higher bunker prices. However, analysts have predicted annual growth of 3-4% in global chemicals trade over 2021-22, and modest fleet development of about 1% will not match this. In fact, fleet capacity has remained relatively constant over the last three years, comprising (today) of 3,984 vessels with total capacity of almost 49m dwt, according to Clarksons.

One of the features that is likely to have held the market back this year is the weak tanker market generally. The soft crude and products segments over the first half of the year encouraged owners of swing tonnage to move to easy chemicals and vegetable oil cargoes, boosting tonnage supply and acting as a dampener on earnings. However, what looks as though it may well become a global energy crisis may radically change the backdrop over the remainder of the year.

A significant volume of the chemical tanker fleet is old, particularly in the smaller sizes. Well over 40% of ships less than 10,000 dwt, (more than 1,650) – are over 15 years old. Over 1,060 ships, (25%), are older than 20 years. This has significant implications for repair yards because these vessels are unlikely to compete effectively with more modern units when EEXI and CII assessments are made.

However, with the limited orderbook today and shipyards clocking up substantial numbers of new contracts for containerships and bulkers, supply is likely to remain constrained for some time. Therefore, modifications to raise the fuel efficiency and prolong the operating lives of older vessels are likely, as operators seek to increase efficiency and raise their appeal to charterers.

A key aspect of this specialised market that continues to feature is growing commercial collaboration and consolidation. Scale brings

During September, Aurora Tankers, the tanker arm of IMC Shipping, completed its latest newbuilding series with the launch of its 50,000 dwt IMO II MR chemical tanker, Maritime Verity

By Paul Bartlett economies amongst these ships in a sector where contract of affreightment business is a frequent arrangement. Minimising ballast hauls is always, therefore, a priority and a larger number of vessels potentially provide greater global coverage. Fleet mergers and the extension of pooling arrangements have been a feature of this market recently.

According to Clarkson statistics, there are some 185 chemical tankers on order, representing 5% of the existing fleet in vessel numbers and 7% in capacity. In the small ship category of less than 10,000 dwt, there are 82 vessels on the orderbook, representing 4% of the fleet in numbers and 5% in capacity.

Odfjell’s midway through fleet retrofit programme Perhaps in a sign of things to come, Bergen-based Odfjell is engaged in a major fleet retrofit programme to enhance the efficiency of vessels already in the water. The company is fitting propulsive efficiency devices to its ships, including the propeller boss cap fin (PBCF), originally developed by Mitsui OSK Lines in 1987, and the Mewis Duct, a technology developed

by Hamburg-based Becker Marine Systems in which Japan’s Nakashima Propeller acquired a majority stake last April.

The strategy is part of Odfjell’s drive to raise energy efficiency across its fleet in line with a long-term goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050.

The first PBCF device was tested on the 2014-built 49,622 dwt Bow Trajectory in 2019, with about another 10 ships retrofitted since then. At least three or four ships will have installations in 2022 with more to follow.

The PBCF, which fits on the back of the propeller and breaks up the turbulent water behind the propeller to create more forward thrust, underwent a design review in 2017 and is now more effective than the original versions. Odfjell has estimated that the PBCFs installed across its fleet so far are reducing fuel consumption by more than 5%. Some experts dismiss single-figure fuel savings as hardly worth the bother, but others insist that a combination of various energy-saving features can make a substantial difference.

In any case, the pioneers of shipboard energy efficiency point out that the sceptics will have to change their thinking fundamentally as shipping’s customers adopt increasingly tough sustainability criteria across their shipping arrangements. Environmental, social, governance issues are now a key priority for many charterers and shipping banks. Meanwhile, the new low- or zero-carbon fuels of the future are likely to cost several times more than those in use today and, in any case, carbon pricing or carbon-related trading tariffs will also alter the economics.

For the PBCF installations, which can only be used on fixed pitch propellers, each ship requires a bespoke design. Odfjell’s Manager Projects, Jan Opedal, explained that drawings of a ship’s stern are sent to Mitsui OSK in Japan which then uses the drawings to design the PBCF. The Japanese company also estimates likely savings, Opedal added. The device is relatively easy to install, taking about half a day. About 3,400 ships in the world fleet are now thought to have PBCF installations.

Odfjell has installed the Becker Mewis Duct on between 25 and 30 vessels so far. Unlike the PBCF which is fitted behind the propeller, the Duct is attached to the hull, forward of the propeller, to channel as much water as possible into the propeller disc, thereby maximising forward thrust and cutting fuel burn. The company has estimated fuel savings of up to 10%

Chemical Tankers

Odfjell has installed the Becker Mewis Duct on many ships in its fleet

on the ships with Mewis Ducts.

Together with other initiatives, however, the company believes it has reduced fuel consumption across the retrofitted vessels by at least 13%.

Other initiatives include hull coatings to prevent marine growth and biofilm, weather routeing and voyage optimisation, and adoption of a fuel overconsumption warning system, developed in-house.

Sector consolidation continues One of the largest chemicals shipping transactions completed recently was the sale of Copenhagen-based Nordic Tankers by private equity group, Triton, to Mitsui OSK Lines subsidiary, MOL Chemical Tankers Pte Ltd. The integration of the company has now been completed into MOL Chemical Tankers Group. As with other examples of consolidation across the sector, economies of scale offer significant potential in the global trade in chemicals where having the right ship in the right place maximises uptime on contract of affreightment business and provides the best service to customers.

In another major transaction completed this time last year, Odfjell

announced two major developments. It launched a new pool agreement with Navig8 and took over the management of vessels owned by the New York-based Transport Recovery Fund (TRF). Commenting on the deal at the time, Odfjell CEO, Kristian Mørch, said, “By establishing this pool, we take another step in consolidating the chemical tanker market.

The pool will strengthen our platform in a capital-efficient way, and with little downside risk. The fact that Navig8 and TRF trust us with their vessels is another testament to Odfjell’s strong platform, and it underlines the quality of the Odfjell team’s expertise.”

The coated tankers are arranged in two pools. The Odfjell Coated MR Pool comprises 13 ships of 45,000 dwt plus and the Odfjell Coated Handy Pool is made up of six vessels in the 35-40,000 dwt range. All of the vessels are now commercially managed by Odfjell Tankers although technical management of the Navig8 and TRF ships is in the hands of external parties.

Meanwhile, Odfjell has recently completed a fleet renewal programme launched in 2016. Since then, 30 vessels have joined the fleet including six newbuildings constructed by China’s Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard.

The new ships comprise a series of four 49,000 dwt ships with 33 stainless steel tanks, believed to be the largest chemical tankers so far, and two 38,000 dwt vessels with 40 tanks. All of the ships have a range of energy-saving features and low emissions compared with existing ships in the sector.

Meanwhile, New York-listed Ardmore Shipping Corporation has taken on the commercial management of four vessels on behalf of Bremenbased owner, Carl Büttner Holding. The four 24,000 dwt ships are now operated alongside Ardmore’s similar-sized vessels in the chemical and vegetable oil trades – a sector expected to undergo significant growth.

Commenting on the deal, Ardmore Shipping’s Chief Commercial Officer, Gernot Ruppelt, said, “This move also reflects our belief in the significant growth potential for more sustainable, non-fossil fuel cargoes, which already makes up 25% of our business. The energy transition is driving greater demand for non-fossil cargoes. In joining forces with Carl Büttner, we have strengthened our platform when it comes to meeting customers’ needs for the movement of chemical cargoes, which will benefit both partners mutually.” SORJ

The cruiseship Vasco da Gama in Lisnave

Increase in ship numbers at Lisnave For the period of the first nine months of this year (January to September 2021) Portugal’s Lisnave’ Mitrena Shipyard, located in Setubal, reported the completion of some 59 repair projects, which is an increase of four on the same period last year (2020). A total of 46 shipowners/managers used the shipyard, coming from 19 Countries - Greece, UK and Norway having the highest involvement. During this period, Lisnave carried out a total of 21 BWM system installations, using various manufacturers’ equipment.

Lisnave has always had a first class reputation in general repairs, especially in the tanker trades. This is reflected by the number of traditional owners sending multiple ships to the yard for scheduled repairs. These include UK’s Navigator Gas, Northern Marine and Zodiac Maritime, Denmark’s Maersk, Norway’s Knutsen OAS and Solvang, and Greece’s Latsco Marine.

Gas tankers were the largest category with 19 projects completed - 17 LPG and two LNG tankers, followed by tankers (18) (including product/ chemical), containerships (6), bulk carriers (4) and general cargo vessels (3).

Lisnave carried out repairs to two ships involved in a collision offshore Spain. The ships involved were Scorpio Shipmanagement’s 38,734 dwt chemical tanker STI Pimlico and Knutsen OAS’ 135,049 m3 Bilbao Knutsen. Norway’s Knutsen OAS is no stranger to Lisnave, during this period the shipyard carried out repairs on-board a total of three shuttle tankers from the Knutsen OAS fleet.

The repair on-board the Bilbao Knutsen included 130 tonnes of steel renewal. The majority of the the repair work was carried out on the vessel’s port side, hull, the internal bulkhead in tank 2 BB, in the engine room, and on the deck next to the affected hull.

Meanwhile, repairs to the STI Pimlico, which included 188 tonnes of steel renewal. This was mainly along the starboard side, hull, internal bulkheads in the ballast tanks, some areas in the blocks (including longitudinal bulk stop of the cargo tank), bow, and deck next to the affected hull. Both ships returned to service after the successful completion of the collision repairs.

One of the largest projects carried out by Lisnave during this period was modifications on-board Mystic Cruises’ 55,451 gt cruiseship Vasco da Gama built in Italy during 1991 as the Statendam. She entered the yard during July 2021 for a major upgrade project, including interior refurbishment to a new higher standard and an extensive upgrade to

Page 34 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

adhere to the most stringent international rules, including environmental and energy increased performances and digitalisation, making this project a fantastic ‘Circular Economy’ example applied to the maritime industry.

Five SCR (Selective Catalytic Reactor) systems were installed (one for each engine) to reach emissions levels well below Tier III and therefore ensuring exhaust gas emissions treatment in any of her operation modes.

This ambitious project, designed by Portugal’s TecnoVeritas – Services of Engineering and Systems Technology, was jointly engineered by TecnoVeritas and Lisnave and manufactured and installed by Lisnave. It was a big challenge, technically and timewise - in only one month the vessel’s revamping design was developed, and in less than two months it was implemented on-board. Extensive fluid flow simulations were carried out by the TecnoVeritas’ engineering team to define the optimised solutions to implement and then the installation was done in a record time thanks to a highly engaged engineering team from TecnoVeritas and Lisnave, with quality management from Mystic Cruises, TecnoVeritas and Lisnave and very experienced manpower from the Shipyard.

Another challenging part of this project was the installation of a new sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 650 m3/day, approved for Baltic Sea operation and compliant with MEPC.227(65), including Section 4.2 nitrogen and phosphorus removal standard.

The cruiseship now complies with Tier III limits, therefore allowing the vessel to visit the most demanding touristic destinations, like the Heritage Fjords of Norway. The cruiseship is operated by Germany’s Nicko Cruises Schiffsreisen GmbH.

Third LNG conversion contract for West Sea During recent months Portugal’s West Sea Viana, located on the country’s Atlantic coast in the port of Viana do Castelo, reported continuous activity in the yard’s shiprepair activity with the perspective for the near future also being very positive.

Baleària’s 26,375 gt ro/pax ferry Hedy Lamarr recently arrived in the shipyard to start an LNG engine retrofit project. This is the third vessel from Spain’s Baleària using West Sea to carry out the same retrofit.

The main work includes the changing of the MAN 9L48/60B existing

main diesel engines to MAN 9L51/60DF dual-fuel units, allowing the ship to run both on LNG and diesel. Two LNG storage tanks, with a total capacity of 565 m3, will be installed giving the ship LNG range autonomy of over 1.400 nautical miles. This will be the most complex part of the project, since it will be necessary to cut an access in the upper decks to install both tanks and then reseal the decks after the tanks are installed.

The Hedy Lamarr will be equipped with a Smart Ship system, which allows on-board technological experience, from access to leisure and other services. Sensors will be installed to monitor fuel consumption and emissions in real time, as in the other vessels of this fleet. This forms part of the EU Green and Connected Ports Project.

During this summer, a number of general cargo vessels were repaired by the yard, including Navigasa’s 7,750 dwt Sonreiras and 5,000 dwt Finita R, Rivermaas’ 7,781 dwt Vlistdiep and S&C Lda’s 5,003 dwt Lagoa, all in for general drydocking works.

Other vessels recently in West Sea were the BW Epic Kosan’s 6,095 dwt LPG tanker Tenna Kosan for BWM system installation and general drydock works, and Wilhelmsen/Ahrenkiel’s 18,901 dwt containership AS Felicia for an emergency repair in the propulsion system.

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement’s (BSM) 16,427 dwt chemical tanker Elisalex Schulte recently left the yard, after a BWM system installation, steel renewals on the hull and extensive drydock works (See Front Cover).

More recently in the yard were Jüngerhans’s 11,052 dwt containership Andromeda J for BWM system installation and general drydocking works, and the Rohde Nielsen’s 1,010 m3 trailing suction hopper dredger Viking R for repair of the starboard rudder and rudderstock.

Due in the yard during October is HS Schiffahrts’ 11,814 dwt containership JSP Skirner for third class renewal and BW Epic Kosan’s 3,824 dwt LPG tanker Scali del Pontino for BWM system installation and extensive repairs. Also booked for early 2022 are two general cargo

vessels owned by Steermar Lda - the 21,442 dwt Raquel S and the 6,770 dwt Laura S, both for normal drydocking work.

LNG tankers and cruise ships at Navantia During September, Spain’s Navantia Shiprepairs’ Ferrol Estuary focused it’s on the drydocking and/or repair works of five commercial vessels, as well as of nine naval units. This repair centre has undertaken a total of 13 repair projects involving LNG tankers during the first nine months of this year, which represent nearly 60% of the 23 merchant vessels repaired to date, with the total number of gas tanker repair projects expected to increase during the rest of the year.

The repair centre started and completed in September the repair projects of two LNG tankers – Golar Management Norway’s 154,948 m3 Golar Ice and Gazocean’s 74,130 m3 Global Energy, which underwent repairs in the Ferrol and Fene yards respectively. Earlier in the summer the facility completed repair projects on-board Northern Marine Management’s 170,000 m3 LNG Abalamabie and MOL LNG Transport’s 164,700 m3 LNG Fukurokuju, which were both drydocked Ferrol, and Hyproc Shipping/Skikda 74,255 m3 Cheikh Bouamama, which was drydocked in Fene.

Apart from the LNG tanker repair market, the Ferrol Estuary repair centre also carried out repairs to Chevron’s 49,160 dwt chemical tanker California Voyager and Ondimar Transport’s 159,179 dwt tanker Montesperanza.

Ferrol Estuary also recently undertook the repair from TMS Cardiff Gas’174,062 m3 Vivit Americas and Grupo’s floating caisson dock Sato Levante, both docked in Ferrol, and CLDN’s Malta’s 49,166 gt ro/ro

One of the Carnival cruise ships in the Puerto Real yard in Cadiz

cargo vessel Pauline, drydocked in Fene.

During the same month of September, Navantia’s Cadiz Bay shipyards undertook the repair of some 12 commercial vessels and one military unit.

The Cadiz shipyard is one of the world’s most successful yards involved in the cruiseship refit and refurbishment market and as this market gets back to normal following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, some eight cruiseships were in the yard.

Carnival Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean Cruises had four ships each in the yard. From Carnival, the 102,509 gt Carnival Victory, the 102,853 gt Carnival Sunshine, the 71,909 gt Carnival Paradise and the 110,000 gt Carnival Liberty underwent various repair projects.

The Carnival Victory, which has been renamed Carnival Radiance is still drydocked at Navantia’s Puerto Real dock facility. She underwent steel work in crossover and fore-peak, surface hull treatment and general drydock works (propellers, bow thrusters, stabilisers etc.)

The Carnival Sunshine is also still docked at Puerto Real North Pier, while being used as a hotel for all the workers of Carnival Victory. She is due to start her own drydocking operation in the coming weeks.

The Carnival Paradise initially docked at Puerto Real South Pier initially but after a couple of days was transferred to Dock No. 4 in Cadiz, where the main work mechanical work, including valves, azipods inspection, motors overhaul, hull treatment, various revitalisation work, pipes and some small works at the engine room.

The Carnival Liberty drydocked in Cádiz at Dock No. 4 during a three week period, for full renewal of all the wet surface area, reparation of azipods and bow thrusters, pipes reshuffle and change of the steering gear.

The four cruiseships owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises were the 30,277 gt Azamara Pursuit, her sistership Azamara Journey, the 82,910 gt Enchantment of the Seas and the 90,090 gt Radiance of the Seas.

The Azamara Puirsuit, which docked at Arena Pier, and Azamara Journey, which drydocked at Dock no. 2, both in Cádiz, had similar projects involving hull treatment, work in the tile shaft, propellers, rudder, bow thrusters, stabilisers, anodes, pipes and steel work. In addition, the Azamara Journey also underwent work to her BWM system and grey water pipes replacement before leaving the yard at the end of September.

Another sistership, the Azamara Quest was completed during the summer.

The is Enchantment of the Seas remains docked at Armamento Pier in Cadiz, undergoing steel work, as well as the usual drydocking projects in

Page 38 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

the shafts, and rudders, the repair of a servomotor, work on the stabilisers and thrusters, and hydroblasting hull treatment works.

The Radiance of the Seas postponed the end of her drydock period due to a last minute problem detected in the bow thrusters that forced her to drydock again. She is docked at Cadiz South Pier and is expected to leave during November.

During August, Celebrity Cruises’ 90,940 gt Celebrity Constellation finalised her drydocked period at Puerto Real New Build Dock where she underwent hull treatment, maintenance work on her azipods, thrusters, stabilisers, vapour turbines, and echo-sounder.

Meanwhile, at the San Fernando shipyard in Cadiz, work was carried out on-board three vessels – Boluda’s tug VB Almeria, Gauzon Iberica’s patrol craft Rio Mino and Seacor’s OSV Seacor Cheetah.

The VB Almeria drydocked at Dock No.2 in San Fernando, where she underwent hull surface treatment, valves replacement and inspection, tank cleaning along with assistance to the technician who checked the Schottel units.

The Rio Mino dry docked at San Fernando Dock No. 1, where hull high pressure washing, reparation of bow thruster, and clearance of the rudder and propeller shaft was undertaken Work on-board the Seacor Cheetah was completed in September.

Navantia Shiprepairs’ Cartagena shipyard focused its activity over the month of September in the docking and repair works of four commercial vessels, as well as of six naval units. The commercial vessels were two tugs from Boluda – the VB Muscle and the Xerea, and two mega yachts – Vibrant Curiosity Ltd’s Vibrant Curiosity and Lighthouse Marine’s Vava 11.

The month of September kicked-off the yacht repair season with the arrival of the Vibrant Curiosity. She will remain afloat for small-scale work and once this is completed she will enter the yard’s shiplift. The 97 m long motor yacht Vava 11 arrived directly onto the shiplift in order to undergo, over a period of two months, a refit corresponding to her five years’ service life which will involve bottom hull treatment, overhauling of her main and auxiliary engines, valves, pumps, etc. The drydocking of VB Muscle was completed on September 20th and then followed the Xerea was immediately hauled out to undergo a seven day repair operation.

Astilleros Guadalquivir looks to the tanker market Spain’s Astilleros’ Guadalquivir, Seville’s core business is the tanker market with three more tankers to be repaired during the fourth quarter of this year and two more already booked for 2022. The yard has already secured projects till end of January with one dredger – Drag-Norte SL’s 1,300 m3 TSHD Gigante, one ferry – Inter Shipping’s catamaran ro/pax ferry Boraq, and one cruiseship.

This positive trend started this year with Holland’s Vroon Group, which made four bookings between the second and third quarters. The first two were 4,122 dwt sisterships VOS Partner and VOS Patience. These are platform supply vessels of the PX121 design, which has a competitive combination of fuel-efficiency and cargo capacities/deadweight.

Thanks to flexible tank capacities, the PX121 is set up to support drilling activities with longer and deeper boreholes and activities further from shore. In addition to tanks for oil, water and drilling fluids, the vessel also has two stainless steel tanks for flammable liquids or corrosive chemicals.

The Gas Alice in Astilleros Guadalquivir

Ship is equipped with dynamic positioning system Class II and holds an ECO (TOC) notation, according to LR class.

The X-BOW offers efficiency over a wide draught range, which is important for PSVs as they often operate with varying loads. Furthermore, the X-BOW has unique, advantageous qualities in terms of motion and propulsion efficiency in moderate and heavy seas. Its innovative shape eliminates wave slamming and bow impact delivering better performance, while reducing noise and vibration, which in turn translates to enhanced crew comfort and safety levels.

The next two ships were two 6,187 dwt bitumen tankers, also sisterships - the Iver Best and the Iver Blessing. Both vessels completed her second Special Survey. These two projects were quite challenging since it included Oceanguard BWM system installation with drawings designed by Wolfard Wessels BV engineering Work also included major steel repairs in the bulbous bow, installation of air seal system for the stern tube seal, installation of boss cap fin on the propeller and a RO unit from GEFICO. All these works were done while shifting from a conventional to silicone paint (Hempel’s Hempaguard X8).

Leon van Duivendijk, Iver Ships BV managing director, said, “The installation of the Supreme Ventus system from Lagersmit means that the new aft seal ensures that an air chamber is made between the water and lube oil seals ensuring no pollution to the environment can occur. Same happens with the installation of the Propeller Boss Cap Fin to reduce

We are committed to making our clients successful by providing high-quality, safe, reliable and cost-effective services and solutions, based on traditional values and a proven track record”.

Pablo de Celis, the yard’s CCO added, “Receiving such support from a high-end client like Vroon Group could be considered a major achievement for Astilleros Guadalquivir. We have been able to find the right balance of reliability, pricing, flexibility, modernity and timing together with offering an unique experience where every client immediately realizes all our staff really cares of his ship 24/7 and are 100% committed. The ships leave the yard knowing we have built a strong foundation for many years to come.

“I would like to highlight that Vroon is an international shipping company providing seagoing transportation services and engineering and support solutions. A family-originated business, established in 1890, Vroon today operates and manages a diverse fleet of approximately 130 deepsea and offshore vessels. All operations meet stringent safety and environmental requirements, with vessels following rigorous maintenance programmes. They are a real added value client for Astilleros Guadalquivir.

“Following the completion of the Iver Blessing project, the yard began work on-board the Gigante and the Boraq. Both are from repeat clients and we are pleased to welcome them back. The Gigante project will be quite a complex work since a new bow thruster will be installed”.

During mid-September, the third Special Survey of Stealth Maritime’s 3,147 dwt LPG tanker Gas Alice was completed. This was another complex project involving main engine overhaul, steel work and prefabrication and installation of an Alfa Laval BWM system with drawings designed by Greek engineering company, Hydrus. The gas tanker is owned by Greece’s StealthGas Inc, which is the world’s largest owner of LPG pressurised tankers in the strategic 3,000-8,000 m3 market segment.

Astilleros Guadalquivir has also secured the project of the installation of the new lower carriage of the gate 6002 on the Port Side of the River Lock at Puerto del Mar, which will last some three months. These gates, that give access to the maritime traffic to the Port of Seville, are moved perpendicularly to the shaft of the lock, in a way where they are supported on two carriages opposed diagonally and in the extremes.

Ro/pax refit for Cabnave Cape Verde’s Cabnave, Mindelo on the island of São Vicente, has just completed the US$2.7m refit of the 1970-built 1,638 gt ro/pax Mar D’Canal for her new owners Nôs Ferry.

This 450 passenger, 57 car capacity vessel had been operating for nearly 20 years, running between São Vicente and Santo Antão, but was taken out of service a couple of years ago due to structural issues. These issues have now been rectified by her new owners, and the ferry is awaiting approval from the Instituto Maritimo Portuário to return to service between Mindelo and Porto Novo. The Mar D’Canal was built by Norway’s Ulstein Smedvik shipyard as the Skudenes for local operator Stavangerske.

Meanwhile, the future of Cabnave is somewhat up in the air. There have been plans to raise funds to privatise the yard, while there are also plans to sell the shipyard. China’s China (Overseas) Fisheries Co is believed to be interested in acquiring Cabnave for its own repair and maintenance activities. This company operates 245 fishing vessels that operate between Morocco and Sierra Leone, so this centrally located repair facility would be

ideal for its shiprepair needs.

Cabnave built and originally owned by Portugal’s Lisnave, has a shiplift and transfer system and can accommodate vessels up to a maximum size of 110 m x 18 m, and offers six dry repair berths.

Bulk carriers and containerships in Besiktas Starting the year with a massive bulk carrier and larger containership repairs, Turkey’s Besiktas Shipyard, Yavlova, has already completed more than 100 projects in 2021 and recorded a strong turnover of ships during the last quarter.

According to the recently-announced Clarksons’ Shiprepair Yard report Besiktas Shipyard is once again ranked as the most active shiprepair yard in the western hemisphere. Standing out with the projects both in quantity and quality, Besiktas Shipyard has customers from 37 different countries and continues to enlarge its range with package deals with new customers.

The majority of the yard’s traffic comes from fleet agreements and it is not unusual to see leading shipping companies berthed side by side in the yard. From June to the end of the year, the yard will be hosting 10 tankers from Maersk fleet, for routine special survey works. And many more fleet agreements have already been scheduled for 2022 and 2023.

Besides pre-approved and planned projects, Besiktas seems to be the first yard to be called in case of an emergency. The experience of the management team, and the ability to create flexible and effective solutions quickly with respect to customer needs seem to be key factors behind this trust. An example of this instant repair was seen in May. After a collusion in a nearby port, MSC’s 200,148 dwt containership MSC Tina berthed urgently at Besiktas Shipyard with necessary repairs completed effectively and efficiently. More recently, in the yard were two ships undergoing firedamage and collision damage repairs respectively.

Besiktas Shipyard prides itself on the ability of operating in many markets - a recent list of repair projects shows this fact clearly: • Clover – 61,377 dwt bulk carrier owned by Hakuyo Kisen and managed by Filharmony Ship Management, in the yard for routine drydocking work. This is the first contract awarded by Filharmony to Besiktas • Rio Grande Express – 50,869 dwt, 4,250 teu containership owned

by Canada’s Seaspan Corporation), is the sistership of the same series

Page 42 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

of ships, which have been in Besiktas during the last few months. She underwent various works on hatch covers and cargo holds • Feo Swan - 4,750 dwt chemical tanker owned by Uni-Tankers recently arrived in Besiktas in order to perform cargo tank coating repairs, BWM system installation and routine special survey jobs • Romoe Maersk – 35,000 dwt chemical tanker owned and managed

by Maersk Tankers, is third vessel of series of R-Class to enter Besiktas Shipyard during the last two months. Apart from usual docking jobs, she has considerable amount of light steel works on main deck area • Nord Himalaya – 49,936 dwt MR tanker owned by Norden and managed by Donnelly Tankers. Work included BWM system installation.

Besiktas has performed many projects involving both companies during previous years • Maersk Regensburg – 13,792 dwt, 1,200 teu containership from Maersk Line India, has extensive work carried out on her cargo cranes, for which Besiktas is quite familiar with this type of challenging crane maintenance job involving larger units from Maersk Line • Maersk Timaru – 50,000 dwt chemical tanker owned and managed by Maersk Tankers, in Besiktas for her first special survey works • Maersk Stratus – 40,000 dwt chemical tanker owned and managed

by Maersk Tankers, welcomed for extensive roller modification and drydocking jobs and for first special survey • CMA CGM Sambhar – 51,870 dwt, 4,000 teu containership owned

by Technomar, arrived in Besiktas for silicone paint application, steel work on her hatch covers and drydocking jobs. Besiktas has improved the collaboration with this Greek containership operator with two more confirmed projects due in the coming weeks/months • AS Fabiana – 18,278 dwt, 1,300 teu containership owned by MPC and managed by Ahrenkiel Wilhelmsen, which has chosen Besiktas to perform 100+ tonnes of steel renewal on different sections on vessel, mainly in the ballast tanks and hatch covers • Tracey Kosan – 3,791 dwt, 3,700 m3 capacity LPG tanker, owned and managed by BW Epic Kosan which is a newly formed company by the merger of BW and Epic Ship Management, and controlled from Denmark.

It is the first vessel after the merger of the two companies and Besiktas is looking forward to improving the co-operation on next months.

ART Shipyard proves its reliability Turkey’s ART has proved its reliability on ‘green’ retrofits and repair projects with some 64 repair projects including 30 BWM systems installations

also included adding caissions on-board and the modification of the superstructure. The barge is owned by a joint venture between Italy’s Augustea and UK’s Malin Group.

The yard operates two floating docks measuring 180 m x 30 m and 250 m x 38 m. This latter unit is expected to be in service in March 2022.

The yard is building this dock in the yard and recently launched the first section. Hat-San also recently delivered a floating dock to Denmark’s Orskov Yard, Fredrikshavn. In addition the yard has 2,500 m of berthage for afloat repairs. It also has a 300 tonnes lifting capacity floating crane on location at this repair berth.

The yard has, over recent days repaired the following ships: • Taizhou Pioneer – Tamar Shipmanagement’s 32,453 dwt bulk carrier • Amano T – Sonar Shipmanagement’s 27,359 dwt bulk carrier • Albayrak – Albayrak Group’s suction hopper dredger • Tuleen – Global Safety’s 2,504 gt livestock carrier • Vantage Blade – Vantage Shipping Lines’ 28,310 dwt bulk carrier • Marant – Boeckmans Belgie’s 3,699 dwt general cargo vessel • TRF Mobile – Navig8 Chemicals (Asia)’s 37,596 dwt chemical tanker

Palumbo Malta also involved in the cruise refit market As the cruise industry continues on its comeback path, Palumbo Malta Shipyard has played an important part for Italian owner MSC Cruises, with four of this owners’ fleet calling at the yard. The ships involved were the 92,409 gt MSC Orchestra (work on the alongside pier), the 92,627 gt MSC Poesia (work on the pier and in drydock), the 65,591 gt MSC Lirica (work on pier and in drydock) and the 139,072 gt MSC Preziosa (work on the pier and in drydock).

Meanwhile, Croatia’s Palumbo Viktor Lenac, Rijeka has also been involved in the cruiseship refit market with a number of projects involving Crystal Cruises’ 3,370 gt Crystal Esprit, Ocean Builders’ 70,285 gt Satoshi (famous for being the ‘bitcoin’ ship), Norwegian Cruise Lines’ 55,254 gt Seven Seas Explorer, Dolphin Hellas’ 16,144 gt Athena (at 14 years, one of the oldest cruiseships still operating), and two vessels owned by GCCL-Grand Circle Cruise Line – the 1,206 gt sisterships Artemis and the Arethusa.

Also recently in Palumbo Malta were Grimaldi’s 64,575 gt vehicle carrier Eco Catania two containerships from MSC – the 114,108 dwt MSC Rania and the 59,587 dwt MSC Lorena, three crude oil tankers from Tsakos Columbia - the 113,716 dwt Elias Tsakos, the 113,737 dwt Thomas Zafiras and the 113,611 dwt Leontios H, all in the yard for Class renewal.

Meanwhile, other ships recently under repair at Palumbo Viktor Lenac include Northern Marine’s 49,647 dwt chemical tanker Stena Immortal

(dryocking works and cargo tank coating repairs), Etnea Marittima’s 14,995 dwt chemical tanker Odoardo Amoretti (engine upgrade works and BWM system installation), and Allseas’ 12,397 OSV Oceanic (dryocking works and silicon paint application).

Meanwhile, Antonio Palumbo, the owner of Palumbo Shipyards, has won a lengthy eight-year legal battle in Sicily after the Messina Court of Appeal this week overturned his conviction in a case involving the illegal dumping of waste. Palumbo had been sentenced to six years’ imprisonment in 2019 by a Messina court, which ruled he had facilitated illegal dumping between 2011 and 2013.

Palumbo said he had always maintained that the case was politically motivated. “I feel vindicated that justice has finally prevailed and that the reputation of the 54-year-old family business remains intact.

“I wish to express my great satisfaction at the outcome of this sentence which has finally re-established the truth in a bitter story that has caused great upset to my professional and personal life,” he said.

The Court statement said, “The Court of Appeal in Messina annulled the judgment of the Court of January 16th 2019 relating to the case of the disposal of grit, in which the criminal offenses of conspiracy, illegal waste trade, and environmental disaster at the construction site in Messina have been refuted. Antonio Palumbo has been acquitted of all charges with a final verdict that he had not committed the felony - and the sanctions towards the company have also been lifted.

Palumbo, at the head of a group with a turnover of €200m and employing some 1,500 employees, was defended by lawyers Giro Sepe and Giulia Bongiorno, who expressed great satisfaction with this verdict which finally re-established the truth about the bitter story that upset his personal and entrepreneurial life.”

Cruiseships enter CNdM Another shipyard involved in the cruiseship market is Chantiers de Naval Marseille (CNdM), Part of Italy’s GIN Holdings Group of companies.

During July and August this year, the yard completed repairs to three

Southern Europe cruiseships.

Carnival Cruises’ 110,000 gt Carnival Valor left CNM on August 3rd after more than two weeks of drydocking works at the Drydock No. 10. Work included tank cleaning, various steel work, cleaning and blasting of the hull and painting with the new Carnival livery. CNdM also replaced 6 thrusters and repaired the stabilisers.

Another ship of the Carnival fleet, the 128,250 gt Carnival Dream completed the drydocking at Dock No. 8 between June 24th and July 13th. Work included hull cleaning, blasting and painting with the new Carnival livery. The shipyard also installed 7.2 tonnes of new steel on the ship’s forward part, also repairing three thrusters and two stabilisers.

The third cruiseship was Norwegian Cruise Lines’145,655 gt Norwegian Breakaway, work completed during July.

Since then a number of other cruiseships have followed for repair in this shipyard. These include two from Costa Cruise Lines – the 132,500 gt Costa Diadema (hull treatment and painting works, complete hull HHPP water blasting), and the 113,216 gt Costa Favolosa (hull treatment and painting works, complete hull HHPP water blasting), Princess Cruise Line’s 91,627 gt Island Princess (drydock works, tailshaft complete overhauling, drydock mechanical works), and Silverseas Cruises’ 16,800 gt Silver Cloud (drydock works, hull treatment and painting works, mechanical works on dock and engine room).

More recently, the yard has welcomed the following cruiseships: • Norwegian Bliss – 168,028 gt built 2018, owned by Norwegian Cruise Line • Island Princess – 92,822 gt 2003-built, owned by Princess Cruises • Norwegian Jewel – 93,502 gt 2005-built, owned by Norwegian Cruise Line • Costa Fortuna – 102,169 gt 2002-built, owned by Costa Cruises Meanwhile, also in drydock at the same time was the 14,579 dwt 1985-built reefer vessel Ice River, owned by Cyprus-based Maestro Shipmanagement, Limassol, and Grandi Navi Veloci’s 49,257 gt cruiseferry GNV Suprema, in for drydocking works, EGCS installation and steel renewals.

Another part of GIN Holdings is San Giorgio del Porto (SGsP), Genoa. There have been two recent examples of ships returning to this yard for further work following a previous extensive refit. The first was the USS Mount Whitney. She is one of two Blue Ridge-class amphibious command ships of the US Navy and is the flagship and command ship of the US’ Sixth Fleet. USS Mount Whitney also serves as the Afloat Command Platform of Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO. Work on this latest visit included maintenance of the protection boiler, installation of ballistic shields, maintenance of the helicopter lashing supports and various interior refits.

The second ship involved in ‘coming back’ was Saipen Offshore’s 21,049 gt offshore pipe-laying crane barge Saipem FDS. Work included maintenance of various hydraulic components, loading arm and umbilical winch maintenance and general repairs work. SORJ

Dockgate

By Michael Grey OBE

Build up the spares What do we mean by ‘resilience’, which is a word currently on the lips of commentators? My Imperial Reference Dictionary, which admittedly was published before the days of business practice manuals, suggests ‘physical or mental elasticity’, which admirably describes much of what we require now. And at a time when even the mention of ‘just in time’ brings a hollow laugh from the listener, everyone needs to be a lot more elastic in thinking about what you do when that truck/van/container/delivery/ship does not turn up when it is expected.

I am old enough to remember when the Chief Engineer of a ship took tremendous pride in the volume of spares he had managed to accumulate during his time in charge. He could sleep at night comforted with the thought that whatever broke, wore or suffered terrible damage at the hands of the elements or his staff, it could be replaced from the stock neatly stowed away by the Storekeeper. The Mate was similarly seized with the need to keep the Boatswain’s and Lamp trimmer’s (you don’t see many of them these days) stores full of everything from vast quantities of rope to oceans of paint.

I have just been reading a wonderful book about the - Home Boats* – the fleet of around 150 Commonwealth cargo liners that served New Zealand until the containers and the European Union combined to end this amazing dedicated trade. It contains a large number of reminiscences from those who served in these ships, including quite a lot by the engineers who kept their Doxfords and Sulzers and B&Ws ticking over, on the longest liner route in the world.

This was hard work, as these owners liked to keep their ships running for some 30 years or more, but reading these accounts you are reminded of just how self-sufficient their admittedly large, engineering staff were.

It brought back memories of evenings in the bar, or saloon, when the engineers among us somehow detected a faltering beat in the harmony of the main engines, or a bit of tremolo in the hum of the generators. As one, and without anyone saying anything, they would put down their glasses or cutlery and melt away and a couple of minutes later, the lights would dim, alarms sound and the engines would cough to a standstill.

And there was almost nothing that would faze these folk, with these large and complex lumps of machinery to be kept in trim on a 12,000 mile sea passage. And while we on deck minced around in our uniforms, or enjoyed the delights of the coast, the engineering staff would spend days in their blackened boiler suits pulling units, re-aligning machinery, scraping out the carbon from crankcase fires and completely rebuilding huge engines. It was unknown, or fantastically rare, that the necessary spares were not readily available from the treasures accumulated by the Chief Engineers down through the long lives of these ships. And if by some appalling problem, there was no spare part available, well, there was the talent on-board to make it. This, if you like, was resilience on steroids.

But somehow, possibly as the bean counters gravitated from the basement to the executive floor in the shipping company, the notion of maintaining sufficient spare parts against anticipated need was eroded.

Some thrusting young accountant had read a book of business strategies in an airport and concluded that spares were a cost that could be saved and the poisonous notion spread like a case of COVID-19 in a rancid night club. Soon, the letters were winging out to senior officers around the world demanding that these treasure troves of spares be run down

Page 48 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com

Chief Engineers have always been an affable race – like these from the Viking Star

or ‘monetised’ with replacement henceforth being provided as needed.

Moreover, it was possible, some seer had worked out, to buy spares that were not made by the manufacturer of the equipment, but sourced from some Arthur Daly like organisation that were marked cheaper. Another substantial saving! What a winner!

As you can imagine, this all went down like a lead balloon among thoughtful folk in engine control rooms around the world, and it was not long afterwards that you started to hear of some of the plainly obvious consequences. Repairs, which might be expedited in hours by a diligent repair yard, if not by the ship’s staff, would take days as the necessary spares had to be flown from the other side of the world. One particularly memorable account was of a tanker which had her spare propeller removed and then because of that never-failing law, needed it herself. This was not something that could be bought off the shelf, but had to be made out of a great lump of manganese bronze, from a firm which was shut down for its summer holidays. The weeks drew into months, as the ship remained idle.

Nobody ever computed all the costs of the cancellation clauses invoked by angry charterers, the costs of flying things all around the world and indeed the costs of delays. The only cost which ever registered was the notional savings made from not having all those spares hanging around in case they were needed.

Life in general mirrors the maritime world and people other than marine engineers are seeing the consequences of not having any worthwhile stocks of just about anything, such has the JIT mentality lasered itself into the global village. This was being written in early October and I am reading that frozen turkeys are flying off the shelves (an alarming analogy) as folk anticipate shortages for Christmas. The children’s toys are sitting on

Dockgate a darkened quayside in China waiting to find their way onto the hundred or so containerships anchored off in the South China Sea. If I had a bit of spare money I would invest in warehouses, to house all the goods that it would be good to have handy, when the boat doesn’t come in.

*Check out ‘Home Boats’ by Nick Tolerton at www.coastalshipping.com

Pile ‘em high Looking at pictures of the latest heavily laden containerships that have actually made it from the Far East to North Europe, with the world’s biggest Evergreen displaying 10 high on deck, it is probably timely to make a confident prediction. With the world still ‘rebalancing’, after the trade eccentricities of the pandemic, and the northern winter just around the corner, I would suggest that we will see something of a repeat of last season, when the largest number of piled-high boxes ever, ended up in the drink.

You might say that we have learned from these experiences about how to mitigate these losses, but indeed what have we learned? We still put locking bars on the lowest three to six tiers, leaving all those on top to the tender mercies of twistlocks. There are still inadequate checks on weights, on stowage of the boxes themselves and the state of these steel containers when they arrive in the terminal. We are probably unsure of the exact contents, since the more cavalier shippers are unlikely to have changed their spots.

We may have all sorts of wonderful weather forecasts and even devices that tell the master if he is going to face hazardous rolling, but the more horrible experiences, I’m told, tend to happen at night, when there may be little warning for the OOW. We might confidently forecast

that somebody will inevitably blame the master for the loss and damage, while opportunists will spring forward to claim the loss as just another victim of ‘climate change’. What nobody will agree is that it might be prudent, during the winter in North Atlantic and Pacific, to stop piling the cargo quite so high. We can’t have that!

Gold from dross Alchemists in medieval times attempted to derive the elixir of life, or more practically, to turn base metals into gold and you sometimes feel their craft is making something of a comeback. All around the world we see scientists working overtime to produce carbon-neutral fuels that will keep industry alive while satisfying the impossible desires of the more extreme greens.

There are teams of micro-biologists who are attempting scale up experiments that will produce something you can stuff into an engine from the green slime that annoys the fish in your goldfish ponds. We already have ships that are burning a type of bio-diesel that has emerged from the waste that emerges from fish and chip shops. And one surprising development, after months of being told that CO2 is something that menaces the world, is that there is a company which uses it as feedstock for a process that will turn it into gasoline, jet fuel or diesel. This would appear to be alchemy in operation, except that Maersk, no less has an interest in this exciting process. Mind you, as with everything else these days, there has been a shortage of CO2, causing extreme alarm among those industries – more than fizzy drinks – which depend upon its bubbles for their processes.

Shipyard Agents During the autumn this year (2021), the maritime world said goodbye to two stalwarts of the London shipyard agency fraternity – Ian Morrison and Carlo Davico.

Ian Morrison Ian was born on 20th February 1932 in Belfast. He was born into the shipping world. His father, John Morrison, was Director of Shipbuilding at Harland & Wolff (H&W) when the yard was in its prime. He went to Campbell College in Belfast through the war and celebrated VE day, aged 13, in Portrush where the school had been evacuated. On leaving Campbell College he spent five years at H&W where he trained as a Naval Architect.

On becoming qualified in 1954 he went to Malmo in Sweden to work at Kockums shipyard which at the time was one of the largest in the world.

His task was to study Swedish Shipbuilding methods and it was here he also met his future wife, Marianne.

Ian worked on many famous ships built at Fairfield including Canadian Pacific’s RMS Empress of Britain which was launched by the Queen in June 1955. In 1961, Ian was seconded to Istanbul for seven months to deliver and commission nine of the iconic Fairfield built passenger ferries that criss-crossed the Bosphorus. The nine ferries remained in service for over 40 years.

In 1966, after the collapse of Fairfield, Ian was recruited as the London representative of France’s Terrin, Marseille. Within a few years Ian founded SRS (Ship Repairers & Shipbuilders) and took on more agencies from around the globe. Ian grew SRS into one of the biggest Shiprepair agents in the UK looking after the interests of many yards including HUD, (Hong Kong), Dorbyl (South Africa), Asmar (Chile), as well as the newcomer Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (South Korea). Ian was lucky enough to attend the very first newbuilding naming ceremony at South Korea’s fledgling Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in 1974, the 260,000 dwt VLCC Atlantic Baron for George Livanos.

Ian became well known to the London shipping community and for decades frequented the Norwegian Club (Trafalgar Square) and the Marine Club in the City. Most people who knew Ian dined at one or both.

It was the era when lunches rarely finished before 3pm. Ian finally retired (reluctantly) in his early 70s and sold SRS to his friend and colleague

Carlo Davico

Roderick Wordie who continued successfully to fly the SRS flag, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019. Ian was a proud member of RINA since 1958 and he became a Freeman of The Worshipful Company of Shipwrights in April 1971.

Ian died peacefully on September 20th aged 89. A family funeral took place on October 11th. A celebration of Ian’s life will be held later this year.

Donations can be made in Ian’s name to Oakhaven Hospice, Lymington – www.oakhavenhospice.co.uk Carlo Davico Carlo was an integral member of the London shipyard agent community over many years through his own company Carlden Marine in Leadenhall Street, London. One of his largest principals was Portugal’s Lisnave, which, in those days, operated out of the large Marghera Shipyard in Lisbon.

Carlo had a fantastic marketing tool – ‘Titanic Lunches’. Food was supplied by the local Italian Restaurant and wine (Vinho Verdi) was sent from Portugal by Lisnave. Usually invited were superintendents who had recently had a successful drydocking in Lisnave and superintendents who had a drydocking due. Therefore, the superintendents would do the ‘selling’. Brilliant - compared with today’s preference for the social media approach. I was lucky to be invited a few times to these lunches – a fantastic experience.

When Carlo retired in 2000, Carlden Marine was transferred to Calvey Marine, under Clive Calvey. Calvey Marine is now owned by Steven Black and still holds the Lisnave account.

Carlo was a very keen golfer in his retirement years – a member of West Surrey Golf Club. Carlo was an active Member of the Club over the years, representing many different sections, more latterly playing with the Sages.

Ill health in recent years has prevented Carlo from playing as often as he would have liked, but he would still enjoy a game with the early morning roll up, self-titled ‘The Coffin Dodgers’ when he was able to. He was recently made an honorary Member of the Club in recognition of his 60 years as a Member.

Carlo’s funeral was held at Guildford Crematorium on Wednesday September 22nd at 1:30 pm, donations can be made to RNLI care of Mullard Funerals, 121-123 High Street, Godalming, GU7 1AQ. SORJ
