Structure of Presentation 1.
Innovation and competitiveness in the naval sector
2. Internationalisation opportunities
1. Innovation and competitiveness y European Maritime Strategy y Current Innovative Projects y Two Example Projects
European Maritime Strategy
European Maritime Strategy The objectives of the pillars will be met through so called Exploitation Outcomes, which in turn will be met by current and future research.
European Maritime Strategy Waterborne project – Exploitation Outcomes Low Risk Ship Low Energy, Low Emissions Ship Autonomous Ship Sustainable Recreational Craft Future Ship Designs for Short Sea Operation The European Cruise Ship Seven Day Ship Design World Leading Shipbuilding (e.g. flexible production processes, minimal retooling) 9. Offshore Energy Operations in Extreme Conditions 10. Intelligent Integrated Transport Network 11. Intermodal Waterways 12. Accelerated Sustainable Port Development 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Current Work – Example Projects 1.
THROUGHLIFE www.throughlife.eu ¾ Innovative design strategies and assessment tools for improved efficiency and environmental performance over the life cycle of ship ¾ New business models for used products (ships, parts of ships, components), especially to extend the life span of these products instead of scrapping them ¾ Concepts and ideas for innovative joint life cycle services involving new building and repair yards as well as ship owners and operators ¾ Efficient and environmentally friendly techniques and materials for ship production, operation and end‐of life ¾ Condition monitoring and assessment combining information from all life cycle phases and stake holders using state‐of‐the‐art information and communication technologies ¾ Strategies and tools for predictive, condition and risk based maintenance and repair
Current Work – Example Projects 1.
eco‐REFITec http://eco‐refitec.eu ¾ Shipyards opportunities and challenges regarding “greening” existing fleet ¾ Development of eco‐innovation retrofitting practices and data base. ¾ Design tools for evaluation and management of eco‐innovation retrofit processes and life‐cycle analysis ¾ Shipyard management of eco‐innovative retrofitting process. Validation and implementation of eco retrofitting processes in small & medium size shipyards ¾ Life cycle cost impact of “retrofitting” of existing vessels. Validation and implementation
2. Internationalisation Maritime Opportunities : y Artic Resources y From India y From Russia y From Brazil y Offshore Wind Power y Ship Recycling y Green Shipping y LNG as fuel
Artic Resources
Artic Resources 2008 the US Geological Survey estimates: y 90 billion barrels of oil y 1,670 trillion cubic feet of natural gas y 44 billion barrels natural gas liquids
Artic Resources Issues: y No‐one owns the Artic region y Russia, Norway, Canada and Denmark (via Greenland) are trying to lay claim to certain territories in the Arctic region y Environmental concerns y Lack of experience in Artic drilling
Maritime Industry in India y India has a large but disorganised ship repair market
with an estimated value of $500 million y The overall shipbuilding market in India is projected to be around $20 billion by 2020
Maritime Industry in India Principals for doing business in India : y Be pro‐active and aggressive in pursuing business opportunities y Take a strategic, long term view y Carry out basic research and systematically gain information on doing business in India y Seek specialist advice from the relevant trade associations and authorities y Appoint a carefully selected, reputable agent in India
Maritime Industry in India Principals for doing business in India [continued]: y Ensure all necessary Indian government and other approvals have been obtained y Be prepared to transfer the latest technology, design, quality, manufacturing and operating y techniques and principles y Install quality systems from the start y Investigate in detail the availability of local raw materials
Maritime Industry in Russia y Traditionally Russia has built naval vessels almost
exclusively y Consequently Russia has almost no commercial shipbuilding capability and is looking to build up it’s industry y Machinery and equipment on board existing Russian fleet is 20‐30 years 0ld y USC estimates a requirement for 1400+ commercial vessels in the period to 2020

Maritime Industry in Russia Leisure boat industry in Russia y Imported leisure craft was had a value of US$ 189m (2008) y In 2010 the share of Russian buyers for yachts was 25% y Entry to the market via a distributor or by appointing a sales representative
Maritime Industry in Russia Challenges with working in Russia y Country spans 11 time zones y Logistics infrastructure can be underdeveloped y Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) can be issue
Maritime Industry in Brasil
Maritime Industry in Brasil y Many companies are increasing their presence in
Brazil to take advantage of it’s growing offshore industry y Brazil lacks a ship repair infrastructure which will be a problem in coming years given the increasing number of vessels operating there y Marine Equipment comprises about 40% of total ship price
Maritime Industry in Brasil Non‐existent local production ¾ Submersible cargo pumps ¾ Large propellers / variable pitch ¾ Main and Auxiliary engines (H.F.O.) ¾ Integrated navigation bridges ¾ Azimuth propulsion systems ¾ Radar systems ¾ Oil spill recovery ¾ Tank cleaning systems ¾ Vertical steam turbines ¾ Voyage data recorders

Maritime Industry in Brasil
Offshore Wind Power y UK government has stated a need for 33GW of
installed power by 2020 y UK government have set aside £60m for establishing world class offshore manufacturing infrastructure for offshore wind energy at port sites in England (Scotland, Wales & N. Ireland have separate agreements)
Offshore Wind Power y Lack of turbine installation vessels y Lack of skilled personnel y Lack of infrastructure (grid connection points) y Offshore blades will be larger – transportation
issues y Limited availability of turbine components
Ship Recycling y International Convention for the Safe and
Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships likely to come into force between 2012‐2015 y Demand for EU flag ship to be recycled in Europe y A ageing EU fleet (fishing) inland waterway y Tremendous opportunity in recycling Oil Rigs y Lloyd’s Register publication “Guide to the Inventory of
Hazardous Materials (GreenPassport)” available free of charge from the website
Green Shipping y Gas emissions (SOx, NOx, CO2 and particulate matter) y Ship waste disposal y Bilge water treatment y Black waste water treatment y Grey waste water treatment y Ballast water treatment y Underwater coatings y European Marine Equipment Council (EMEC) can be
found in “The Green Ship Technology Book”
LNG as fuel y Ship owners are reluctant to invest in LNG
based ships without a reasonable infrastructure in place y LNG suppliers are reluctant to invest in this without a secure demand for LNG y However it is an obvious choice for emissions reduction: estimated 94 % less SOx, 83 % less Nox, 34% less CO2 compared with standard VLCC
