SUPPORTING SHIPYARDS GLOBALLY WITH INDUSTRY LEADING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND BEST-IN-CLASS DELIVERY LEAD TIMES.

Reliable and trusted marine engines and gensets providing high speed performance combined with excellent fuel consumption.

According to DNV’s Spatial Competition Forecast, the amount of ocean space occupied by installations will grow fivefold by 2050. This will be driven by o shore wind, which will account for 80% of stationary infrastructure at sea by mid-century, followed by aquaculture (13%), and oil & gas (5%). Read more on page

A 500MW o shore green hydrogen facility

The Dutch government aims to build a large production facility to convert wind power into hydrogen in the North Sea. The facility will have the capacity to produce 500MW of green hydrogen per year and is expected to become operational in 2031. The project marks the first time the Netherlands will produce hydrogen at sea on a large scale. The Dutch government aims to have the capacity to produce 4GW of hydrogen from renewable energy sources at onshore facilities by 2030. The new hydrogen plant will be realised in the planned o shore wind farm area ‘Ten noorden van de Waddeneilanden’, 56km o the coast of the northern province of Groningen, where the hydrogen could be transported to land by using an existing natural gas pipeline.

Damen Triton IoT platform receives type approval

Damen Shipyards Group has announced receipt of a Bureau Veritas (BV) Type Approval Certification for Cyber Resilience of its Triton IoT platform. The solution enables the gathering of all available operational asset data from a vessel and its engines, pumps, hydraulics, alarms, and other equipment, amounting to over 10,000 signals for a single vessel. This is then communicated to crew on board and fleet managers on shore. With this data, which is presented on various on board and remote dashboards, crew can track asset health, maintenance scheduling and more. Triton’s receipt of type approval, a significant milestone for the platform, is the result of a close collaboration between Damen Digital Solutions, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Bureau Veritas.

To achieve this approval, Triton met the cyber security requirements described in BV Rule Note NR 659 R02. This also makes it compliant with the requirement of IACS UR E27 that will enter into force for all contracts signed after 1 January 2024. All of Damen’s newbuilds, some 150+ vessels per year, are delivered with the Triton IoT platform. Triton can also be retrofitted to existing vessels and can co-exist with legacy systems, providing even more opportunities for operators to benefit from its capabilities.

Jan De Nul kicks o Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Ri grund 3

Jan De Nul Group has o cially started the T&I contract for the construction of Ørsted’s 242MW Gode Wind 3, and 900MW Borkum Ri grund 3 o shore wind farms in Germany. A first batch of three monopile foundations has left Steelwind’s yard in Nordenham (Germany) to Eemshaven (the Netherlands), which is part of Groningen Seaports. Jan De Nul’s scope includes the transport and installation of 106 wind turbine monopile foundations and one o shore substation foundation, including associated topside. Subcontractor Wagenborg has deployed its Wagenborg Barge 8 for the transport of the monopiles foundations.

In summer, Jan De Nul’s brand-new heavy lift vessel Les Alizés will arrive on site and install the first monopile foundation o shore, simultaneously the baptism of fire for this brand-new vessel. Delivery is foreseen to be completed in 2024.

Aker BP moving ahead with nine of ten PDO projects

Aker BP has notified the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy that the company has acceded to all the Plans for Development and Operation submitted in December 2022, except for one. The Troldhaugen project in the Edvard Grieg area, which represents around 4% of the net estimated resources in these projects, has been discontinued. When an o shore field development decision is made in Norway, the licensees are required to submit a Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) for approval. After this, each licensee must notify the MPE within three months whether they accede to the field development plan or not. On 16 December 2022, Aker BP and its partners submitted PDOs to the MPE for the following field development projects: Yggdrasil (Hugin, Munin and Fulla), Valhall PWP-Fenris Skarv Satellites (Alve Nord, Idun Nord and Ørn), and Utsira High (Symra and Troldhaugen – in addition to a Development Report for Solveig Phase 2). Aker BP has notified the MPE that it accedes to all but one of these PDOs, and the development projects are progressing according to plan.

Sustainable retrofit completed

Green Yard Kleven has completed and delivered two retrofit projects for Brazilian shipowner Oceanica. Oceanicasub Vlll and Oceanicasub lX have been rebuilt from o shore supply vessels to advanced o shore vessels for ROV- and crane operations. Both rebuilding projects were largely based on reused equipment and focused on sustainability at the request of the shipowner.

Important elements for achieving a high degree of sustainability are lifetime extension for the ship, overhaul, and repair of existing equipment, installation of used equipment, and reuse of interiors and furniture from recycled ships. The ship was connected to shore power from renewable sources at the quay. Green Yard Kleven has also assisted with the reactivation and classification of the ships, both of which were taken out of layup and sold by two di erent ship owners in connection with the project. Green Yard Kleven also currently has a third project in work for Oceanica, Oceanicasub XL. i. greenyard.no

Kenc supports GustoMSC on Wind Orca crane upgrade

In May 2022, KENC Engineering was awarded an engineering job by GustoMSC. KENC has now successfully completed the assignment which entailed detailed engineering support for the new heavy lift crane of Cadeler’s jack-up vessel Wind Orca. KENC supported GustoMSC with design and engineering work for the secondary steel (stairs, platforms, access to maintenance locations) of the boom and A-frame of the crane. With this strategic upgrade, Cadeler strengthens its position in the growing o shore wind market. The Wind Orca has now a total lifting capacity of 1,600t, compared with a previous capacity of 1,200t.

Ace Aquatec and Ocean Health partner to develop FaunaGuard

Ace Aquatec has partnered with Ocean Health to further develop FaunaGuard, which uses academically validated sound patterns with award-winning transducer technology to create temporary exclusion zones around project sites. This ethical acoustic system is an important tool for safeguarding oceanic wildlife from the risks associated with o shore construction works. The two organisations now join e orts to make FaunaGuard globally available as the go-to mitigation solution for the o shore renewables sector. FaunaGuard has been developed over a decade and has been deployed in many pioneering o shore construction campaigns, in order to protect marine life from serious physiological harm.

The Ace Aquatec and Ocean Health partnership will continuously seek opportunities for further development of the technology and plans include adding new species-specific sounds. FaunaGuard devices are due to be installed for Ocean Health next in the Baltic Sea from March 2023 onwards, with ongoing support from Ace Aquatec on monitoring marine life, having been recently deployed on CrossWind’s Hollandse Kust Noord project in the North Sea.
