WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair Conference and Expo 2016

CONFERENCE SESSIONS

TUESDAY, APRIL 12

Structure & Hull The best engineers, builders, and fixers all share a common belief: something good – and even something great – can always be better. This series brings that search for better solutions to the area of structure & hull maintenance. Learn strategies to optimize the quality of your welding, paint application, corrosion prevention, and more. Because there’s always room to improve.

9:15AM - 10:00AM Asset Management Strategies Vessels always need general maintenance, how far in advance should general maintenance be scheduled? How does emergency maintenance play a role in the scheduling process? Between general and emergency maintenance, how should one keep an inventory of parts and liquids needed for machinery? What happens when a new vessel is needed, is that an addition or a replacement? This discussion will cover the challenges and opportunities of fleet management.

10:15AM - 11:00AM Using Big Data and Analytics to Improve Performance There are many challenges facing workboat owners and operators. These include macroeconomic volatility, the increasing complexity of vessels, more environmental regulations, attracting and retaining quality technical leaders onboard and ashore. One path forward for owners and operators is to leverage the technological changes that are occurring. This will not only reduce costs and increase efficiency, but will also reduce operational and compliance risk. With greater “sensorization,” increased connectivity, and improvements in data analytics, there are new opportunities to capture value from operations and maintenance improvements by turning previously low value data into high value actionable information. The marine industry is currently heading down the path that other industries have of using data and analytics to improve reliability, 8

safety, efficiency and productivity. This new “Internet of Things” or “Industrial Internet of Things” is not without its challenges. New capabilities are needed, mindsets and cultures need to be changed, and business processes will need to incorporate this new technology. For those that are successful in this transition, the benefits will be significant and will enable companies to get ahead in increasingly competitive markets. This session will walk through examples of the use of data and analytics to improve maintenance and operations performance. Data and analytics are used to predict and avoid failures, identify fuel savings opportunities, avoid downtime, recover from a failure faster using remote troubleshooting, and provide greater transparency to identify potential risks in your organization ranging from safety to environmental.

11:15AM - 12:00PM Combating Marine Fouling Environmental interests and the commercial marine industry have not always been perfectly aligned. Today, the extra energy that’s needed due to increased friction caused by biofouling of underwater surfaces costs the shipping industry billions of dollars annually. Concurrently, environmental concerns over localized, excessive concentration of heavy metals leached from antifouling paints and invasive species transported via ballast water, fouled hulls and intakes has been elevated to the legislative level. As reports emerge of governments legislating “fouling” and establishing inspection

WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair Conference and Expo 2016

programs with fees, fines and subsequent hull cleanings, both the maritime community and governments have turned to the coatings industry for answers. Traditionally, antifouling coatings containing heavy metals were used to minimize the attachment of marine organisms from fouling a vessel’s hull. Just as an international convention banned the use of TBT (tributyltin) in antifouling paints, some states are considering imposing limits to the use of cupric ions in antifouling paints as a means to limit bioaccumulation of metals in coastal and inland waters. This session will not delve into the toxicity debate between naturally occurred copper and man-added cupric ions, but instead will focus on current technologies that satisfy both environmental and maritime concerns. The session will address how, through the use of FRC (foul release coatings) and coatings containing newly developed biocides, both maritime and environmental interests can be safely and effectively satisfied, and the discussion will focus on current use technologies, their applications, unconventional uses, and their relatively small impact on the environment.

1:30PM - 2:15PM Maintenance Efficiency: Planned vs. Predictive Equipment and machinery are susceptible to failures overtime or even sometimes unexpectedly. Shipyards use techniques to determine when maintenance should be performed. The debate is whether strategies in planned maintenance verse predictive maintenance weigh one another out. Strategies play

a role in overall maintenance to save cost, create efficiency and optimize time management which is why predictive maintenance may be the answer for most shipyards. But shouldn’t planned maintenance still be required even with high costs associated and the amount of man power it takes?

2:30PM - 3:15PM Corrosion Prevention Methods Corrosion is inevitable and extremely harmful. However, paints and lubricants prolong the process before corrosion occurs. Hear from industry experts on why paints and lubricants need to be

changed, how they can strengthen engine wear, why new paints and lubricants are superior to those previously in place and how technology may play a role. Visit www.WorkBoatMaintenanceAndRepair.com to see a full list of speakers and session updates.

Power & Propulsion The technology that powers America’s commercial fleets is changing faster than ever – presenting a unique challenge to the crews in charge of maintaining vessel motors and fuel systems. Join WorkBoat and the leaders in fuel and propulsion technology as we discuss the most effective ways to prevent equipment failure and maintain a reliable, high-powered, high-tech fleet.

9:15AM - 10:00AM Extending Fluid Life and Enhancing Performance Oil analysis can be a critical tool in extending fluid life and enhancing the performance of marine equipment. Recent field tests from RSC Bio Solutions have demonstrated that a well-run oil analysis program can extend fluid life by approximately 83%. However, while this type of analysis is routinely performed in many settings, few marine operators fully understand its value and what is required to implement and manage an effective oil analysis program, and use the data to their advantage. In this presentation, a business case will be presented for instituting an oil analysis program, citing actual examples and data gathered from RSC’s extensive field testing reports and experience helping its customers implement, institutionalize and manage these programs. You’ll determine how oil analysis can be used as a tool to improve operational and cost effectiveness and prepare you to build the business case for such a program.

10:15AM - 11:00AM Fleet Operations and Maintenance Contracts Maintenance Contracts or Customer

Service Agreements (CSA) can be one the best investments you can make. Every customer is unique, which is why we have developed flexible CSA options that can be customized to fit any customer’s needs. CSAs are one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing expense, disruption, and loss of revenue caused by engine, component or system(s) downtime while contributing to the overall safe operation of the fleet. CSAs ensure that maintenance and repairs are completed by highly skilled, factory trained technicians and allow you more time to tend to your business. The more comprehensive the CSA, the greater the benefits. Research has proven that with CSAs, engine, component or system(s) operating time significantly increases. Your vessels are able to run longer, productivity rises, and potential revenue increases.

11:15AM - 12:00PM Condition Based Monitoring Systems Vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, and ultrasonic are technological advancements used to determine equipment condition while an asset is still working. The importance of analyzing will determine the amount of life left in a specific asset. This will prevent scheduled outages, increase machine performance

and reduce cost repairs. This presentation will explain why CBM technologies improve performance life and operate as a vital maintenance program.

CONFERENCE SESSIONS

STRUCTURE & HULL SESSIONS (continued)

1:30PM - 2:15PM Vibration Sensor Systems Vibration sensor systems and the basics of vibration theory will be explained. The use of these systems and vibration theory as a predictive/preventative maintenance tool to keep vessels working at optimum performance will also be explored. Basic terminology and practices will be reviewed to round out the introduction. In addition, the most advanced computerized data collection methods will be discussed and/or demonstrated to showcase its accuracy and efficiency. Attendees will become familiar with basic fault identification such as engine mounts, engine misfire, bent shafts or propellers and misalignment issues, and see how vibration analyzers are able to identify these issues. Detailed case studies will be highlighted to provide actual working examples of these systems and technology in the field.

Regulatory Updates If there’s anything you can count on changing as quickly – and as disruptively – as technology, its government regulation. EPA Tier 4, Coast Guard Subchapter M, and other new industry rules mandate fundamental changes in vessel equipment and operations. Fortunately, there’s time to plan and prepare. These sessions were designed to bring you up to speed on the regulations you need to work with, and how to do so in a way that keeps your business moving full steam ahead.

9:15AM - 10:00AM SubChapter M: It’s coming, have you got a plan? The mechanical and electrical systems and equipment section of the proposed Subchapter M rules requires that several life/safety inspections be conducted at prescribed periods. However, in the new regulation, there may be several other tasks that must be performed and documented such as labeling valves, putting guards around rotating machinery, etc. Operators should have a system that allows them to develop and perform tasks for initial compliance, and for documenting ongoing tasks that ensure critical systems are being properly maintained. There is a range of tools that can be used to create good preventive maintenance (PM) tasks, and schedule and document their completion. Like most cases where an inspector looks over the way you operate, it can be very beneficial to project professionalism and an efficient management system. This presentation will provide an overview and recommendations on tools that can be used based on the complexity of operations, and the costs to obtain and maintain the systems. This will be broken down in terms of basic compliance, an intermediate capability, and an advanced capability based on the current and future needs of a company. 10

increased and emission costs can be decreased.

In December the Coast Guard announced it wants a higher performance standard for how ultraviolet ballast water treatment systems work. While ballast water regulation is a low enforcement priority with the Coast Guard for now, international adoption of the IMO convention on ballast water continues apace, and the IMO could start its clock ticking on implementation by the end of 2016. Starting in 2018, U.S. operators could begin seeing requirements to install treatment systems at their next scheduled drydocking. Operators should start planning now for record keeping, alternate tank management methods, and longer range options for treatment systems.

1:30PM - 2:15PM Hybrid Systems Suitable for Environmental Regulations Hybrid systems are the up and coming trend in the marine industry, especially to the workboat market. With evolving technologies and experienced engineers, it’s no surprise green technology would come into play. However, just like anything, standards are to be met when implementing new systems. Hybrid systems easily meet EPA Tier III and Tier IV regulations. The innovations of these systems are proof that efficiency can be

Co-Pilot, US Airways Flight 1549 “The Miracle on the Hudson” Crisis Management – When the Unexpected Happens, You’re Ready Wednesday, April 13 | 1:00PM When you’re a pilot and both your engines fail over the largest city in America, you must act quickly and independently, but you must also trust in the system that has trained you and prepared you to handle such crisis moments. Jeff Skiles’ story of the “Miracle on the Hudson” (US Airways Flight 1549’s emergency landing on the Hudson River) would not have the perfect ending if not for years of training and preparation that allowed the two pilots to understand exactly what the other was doing – thus maximizing their time, communication, and effectiveness. Having only met each other three days earlier, Skiles and Sullenberger were able to work together as a team because they trusted in their system and training and the professionalism of everyone involved, from the air-traffic controllers to their crew. As he takes you through the events leading up to, Skiles will demonstrate the key lessons and principles that made the flight crew prepared, calm, and confident so they could successfully land the plane. If such lessons in the value of training, teamwork, being prepared and having a plan can save 155 lives when time is tight and every move must be perfect, imagine what these lessons can do for you and your crew.
