Simple or Complicated?
LESLEY BREAU | EDITOR LESLEYB@YnfpUBLIShERS.cOm
As the sAying goes ‘Life is reALLy simpLe, but we insist on mAking it compLicAted.’ these words ring true when discussing the topic of bALLAst wAter treAtment. the ideA of hAving reguLAtion in pLAce to protect the world’s oceans seems simple enough – a source of potential environmental harm has been identified, along with the need to prevent it. yet, the process of exactly how to implement the international convention for the control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments rules and when they become effective is proving to be quite complex and confusing for many ship owners/operators. treatment methods, guideline interpretation and verification processes are topics still being debated. with no clear answers yet, this once simple idea has become a very complicated subject. this issue of shipbuilding industry features the topic of ballast water, and while we don’t have all the answers regarding the imo convention ratification we have included bimco’s current view on where things now stand with the ballast water convention, along with editor’s picks for treatment systems available. developments on this subject in the coming months will hopefully make things simple for all involved. other topics featured in this issue include hybrid propulsion, where we have a feature on hyps and an article titled the hour of power outlining the potential uses of hybrid systems in the marine industry. we also outline two upcoming trade shows, profile a low-emission ferry, discuss developments at ferretti group and new designs from offshore ship designers. in addition to the ship reports and a special feature, this issue is not complicated, it is simply for you to enjoy!

StrongMultiworker 9.5, a Complete Workboat
Proof of Jotun’s Fuel and Emission Savings
OrangePit BV is set to deliver one of their StrongMultiworker 9.5 vessels built under BV classification (sheltered waters) in April to a European dredging firm. This single engine workboat is a heavy build, small but complete vessel designed for assisting dredgers with anchor handling, towing, pushing, bunkering and all other marine works supporting dredging and construction. The standard design gives customers two options for choice of machinery. Option A utilises a FTP-Iveco N67-280 6-cylinder diesel engine with 150hp, option B concerns the same engine with 200hp. Customisation is possible as OrangePit BV has an in-house ship design and engineering department. Jotun has analysed the first ever five year dry-docking of a vessel treated with its Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) system. The data revealed that Gearbulk’s Penguin Arrow, coated with Jotun’s SeaQuantum X200 in September 2010, recorded a staggering estimated fuel saving and CO2 emission reduction of USD 1.5million and 12,055t respectively, across the 60-month period. According to Stein Kjolberg, Jotun’s Global Sales Director HPS, the HPS system findings exceeded expectations. “The results were even better than we hoped for, and we now have clear evidence that SeaQuantum X200’s coating technology delivers clean hulls, saving money for owners.”
Allard-Europe Effective the beginning of February, Allard-Europe is now owned by the joint venture of Dihag Holding (60%) and Royal IHC (40%). The essential Allard-Europe concept of being a valuable supply source specialised in quality steel and high-
alloyed cast iron for dredging, offshore, shipbuilding and energy sectors remains unchanged. The joint venture between Dihag and Royal IHC will bring expertise that Allard-Europe will build upon to generate added value for the future.

HYBRID PROPULSION
HYBRID SOLUTIONS
Meeting the Economic Challenge HYPS IS A NETHERLANDS-BASED COMPANY SPECIALISING IN THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, DELIVERY AND SERVICE OF MARINE HYBRID POWER AND propulsion systems. The HyPS team has gained experience and expertise that went into such landmark marine sustainable power projects as the first hybrid superyacht Ethereal and Nemo H2, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first hydrogen-powered public cruise boat.
A
lthough the origins of the company are in the luxury yacht sector, the experience and knowledge are fully transferable to the commercial arena where it is currently working on a proposal for a hybrid tug. While the underlying technology may have similarities, the objectives of the owners are
quite different. In yachting the main objectives are comfort and an innovative feel, but in commercial shipping lowering emissions is a primary purpose and cost ultimately drives a purchase decision.
Ideal Candidate
Harbour tugs are ideal candidates for hybrid systems. Their operational profiles are characterised by long periods of idling or low speed manoeuvring with only occasional bursts of high power needed when handling the vessel. Electric propulsion is ideal for the station-holding and low speed work, with the diesels only brought online when required. Harbour tugs also generally work closer to shore and in close proximity to populated areas, where pollution and emissions are much more of an issue than on the open sea. The technical and environmental advantages of hybrid power is not disputed by the majority of commercial owners and operators. Electric motors deliver increased acceleration and manoeuvrability as well as better fuel economy, and this in turn results in greater range and endurance. Hybrid systems, with their modular layouts can also be designed to make much more efficient use of the internal space. Lower fuel costs

and less wear-and-tear mean lower operational costs during a vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime, and the automation that comes with hybrid systems can also reduce crew costs. The environmental benefits are well known by now, but for harbour tugs the reduction in noise pollution as well as the very public emissions of particulate matter are important for the operatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; public profiles, as well as appreciated by the crew.
Long-Term Benefits
For the owner of a hybrid vessel, the benefits of a long-term cost-effective ownership have to be weighed against the higher initial up-front cost. Most owners balance the additional upfront cost against anticipated savings on fuel and maintenance. Studies by HyPS show that a marginally greater investment in a hybrid system will deliver substantial cost savings. These come mainly from the enhanced life of the main diesel engines resulting from a reduction in running hours by 60-70% and avoiding low-load operation, thereby greatly reducing annual depreciation and reducing maintenance costs by up to 90%.
Flexibility of Design
One of the big advantages of hybrid systems is the flexibility of design that comes from integrating a number of separate components rather than constructing a single machine. These include the diesel engines, the E-machines that generate power when the diesels are running as well as turn the drive shafts when under electric power, the batteries themselves, the generators, and the automated control and management. At HyPS some of these components are developed in-house, and each design seeks to find a balance between the capabilities and cost to meet both the performance and financial targets. In order to achieve this HyPS is working on a solution that will include battery sets, allowing the vessel to leave and enter the harbour at around seven knots. While operating in this battery electric mode she will be completely silent and have zero emissions. These battery sets will be supported by two diesel generators; in diesel-electric mode this will enable operational speeds of about eight knots. These power supplies will all be

DC-connected with the option to connect other high-demand consumers to the grid such as winches, the hydraulics system and the capstan. Low demand systems such as domestic and bridge equipment, plus the emergency generator, would be connected to the 400 VAC grid.
Pushing the Boundaries
Designing solutions that make hybrid power systems more attractive is very much a part of what HyPS does. Recently the need arose for lightweight, low volume gensets capable of managing variable loads and with a light to medium operating profile of around 600 hours a year. Reliability, fuel efficiency even at partial loads and low noise were other important considerations. This genset would have applications in commercial vessels with a light duty generator profile as well as leisure craft both hybrid and conventional. The team at HyPS developed the HyPS 85kW variable speed genset (VSG),
www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu
Hyps.indd 11

creating a highly detailed design including the precise specification of the diesel engine, electric generator and converter, along with performance parameters for other elements of the design. The overall result is a quiet, compact generator that weighs just 480kg and measures 130 x 90 x 90cm. The genset has a 700 VDC output that ensures optimal performance when included in a HyPS hybrid system. Fuel efficiency is high at both nominal and partial loads. The design and choice of components ensure reliability, safety, ruggedness and efficient functionality. Matching the technical requirements of hybrid systems with the need for realistic pricing will continue to present challenges. But thanks to the commitment of early adopters plus a regulatory environment driving the need for change prices will undoubtedly continue to fall as hybrid systems become widely accepted across a whole range of applications. i. www.hyps.nl

BALLAST WATER & EMISSION
Out of the Blue On the shOres Of the AmAzôniA Azul, Or Blue AmAzon – the pArt of the AtlAntic off the coAst of BrAzil – the lnG ship of the future is being designed. BG Group, an international exploration, production and lnG company, has been leading a new project to push the limits of already efficient lnG ship designs.
T
he shape of an lnG ship’s hull and cargo tanks are critical for the vessel to sail with minimal resistance through water. this is important as fuel use is the biggest cost for ship operators, and reducing fuel use also significantly lowers emissions. “the idea was to achieve the highest level of efficiency by trying to improve upon the best designs currently being built at the shipyards that BG partners with,” says michael Davison, BG Group’s project Development manager for ship Design and construction, who has been overseeing the endeavour. “our task was to try and independently create a new, highly efficient hull form
1 2 | S B I 2 0 1 6 | Volum e 10 | Issue 2
Blue Amazon.indd 12
and general arrangement for an lnG ship.”
Thinking Outside the Box
the project was re-thinking the design of an lnG vessel from scratch to develop a low-resistance hull form. to do this, the team took a completely new design approach, one not restricted to following the industry standards in regards to shape and arrangement of a ship’s lnG cargo tanks. “that meant we could be a bit creative with the shape of the hull and make it more effective in both calm water and in waves,” mr Davison says. the design process also took vessel construction into consideration. A central concept of the project is to

ensure that the new design is practical and costeffective to build.
BG technology Group in Brazil facilitated the Blue Amazon project, which was carried out in collaboration with the classification society Bureau Veritas (BV); BV’s technology partner hydrocean; Gtt, which develops and licenses lnG tanks; instituto de pesquisas tecnológicas (são paulo) and universidade federal do rio de Janeiro.

over a time period lasting 18 months, the Blue Amazon team ran many iterations of computer model testing. results generated were used to highlight areas for improvement to develop the best design possible. “We’ve carried out over two thousand numerical computations on very powerful networked computers to create models that understand how the new hull would perform,” explains mr Davison. this was an advantage over what shipyards could do. mr Davidson adds, “shipyard design teams are typically constrained in this respect by time and physical resources including specialist software licences and computing power.” the project team used software specially created for the purpose by partner hydrocean based on an advanced computation fluid
dynamics process. the process used known as rAnse can simulate very complex turbulent flow conditions in various operating environments. the resulting computergenerated ship design is a visibly different ship shape, most notably at the bow. the project team then built a scale model and tested it at the instituto de pesquisas tecnológicas facilities in são paulo, Brazil. the team modeled sailing in three speeds, two lnG loading conditions, and various wave states.
Substantial Savings
the final vessel design is expected to require less propulsion energy than the current market designs, saving fuel and corresponding emissions by 3 - 5%. mr Davison explains, “three to five percent savings may not sound much, but if you’ve got a large fleet of say 30 or 40 ships, each burning around 80t of fuel
a day, you can imagine the emissions and commercial advantage of such savings. over a year, a fleet of such ships would save approximately 32,000t of lnG fuel.” BG Group recently discussed the design with Korean shipyards and received their feedback. “the project teams – considering they’re not ship builders – have created a good design to start challenging the yards,” comments mr Davison. the team is now refining the design as it moves into the final stage of optimisation. the final design is expected to emerge in the coming months, and the team looks forward to industrialising it thereafter for the next wave of ship building orders. i. www.bg-group.com note: BG Group is now a subsidiary of shell and shell is evaluating the research following completion of the transaction.

Strength through Co-operation
Close Ties the tieS betWeen the KrVe and MerWelandS Shipyard rotterdaM haVe alWayS been CloSe. the Shipyard haS been proViding MaintenanCe SerViCeS for KrVe VeSSelS for Many yearS. thiS Cooperation was further strengthened in 2006 when the KrVe took a financial stake in the yard itself and commissioned the construction of a new production hall. the commercial venture was embarked upon with one permanent staff member and a handful of temporary employees. Ten years and one economic crisis later, Merwelands Shipyard now boasts 25 employees, a full order book and the prospect of a second production facility.
Perseverence
Merwelands’ success may be due to the same wilfulness and determination that is prevalent among those who work in the marine industry. “When the new production hall was completed in 2008, we were still using DAF engines,” says Chiel Redelijk, General Manager of Merwelands. “But DAF has since gone out of business, which meant we had to look for an alternative. We found this in John Deere engines. These are American engines intended for agricultural machinery, but we install them in ships. We order the base model and completely customise it ourselves. We make all electronics in-house according to our own design. Today, we are an important purchaser of John Deere engines in the Netherlands. Because of our knowledge of the applications and modifications we implement ourselves, John Deere has decided to organise in-house training at Merwelands. ” When the construction of yachts subsided during the economic crisis in 2008,

SPECIAL FEATURE
We have become a specialised shipyard in workboats.
Mr Redelijk explains what the company focused on instead, “Fortunately, we were able to work on the maintenance of our ‘own’ KrVe vessels, and the workboats of our customers. That is the advantage of belonging to a company that has a fleet of sixty-four ships. As a result of experience gained through such work, we now carry out many repairs to ships owned by third parties as well. We have become a specialised shipyard in workboats.”
Experience
the KrVe was able to realise the shipyard through its pension fund on the basis of all the work that could be guaranteed through the association’s fleet. in addition to employment, the KrVe also brought in a lot of expertise to the yard and high turnover in terms of completion and materials. “because the KrVe intensively uses many boats, we have gained a lot of ship maintenance work knowledge. Due to many orders, we generally have all spare parts in stock. Even when an engine fails, we can have the ship back in the water again in no time. We even have new engines in stock ready for installation.”
Expansion Required

unnoticed by other companies in the port of rotterdam and other ports. Merwelands has already built about 15 vessels. Two of these sail for the ‘Koperen ploeg’ in amsterdam, one in delfzijl, two for CVV in iJmuiden and three in Ghent (Belgium). Mooring vessels, phased out by the KrVe and refurbished again at Merwelands, are now sailing in Sohar (Oman), Saudi Arabia and Glasgow. “our strength lies in the special cooperation with the KrVe,” underlines Mr redelijk. Each year, the yard regularly builds approximately two mooring vessels for the KrVe and one or two other for third parties. Mr Redelijk adds, “We also have requests to construct four work barges, a crane barge and a rib for the KrVe. in addition, we maintain and repair vessels for the port of rotterdam authority and the dutch pilotage association, as well as bunker vessels. ShoreTension is another daily business of us.” due to Merwelands well-filled order book, and busy maintenance schedule a second production hall is needed. Construction of this new facility is currently underway and is expected to be ready by the end of April 2016. this new addition to the shipyard will see Merwelands’s production capacity expand from 900m2 to 2,000m2. i. www.merwelands.nl

lose cooperation between HvSDS and Kooiman resulted in a number of important creative solutions developed and implemented, enabling the Zwerver II to serve at the top of the market sector. The two companies previously worked together in 2007 on the Zwerver I, and again for the Zwerver III in 2011. The Zwerver III was an updated design of the Zwerver I resulting in increased main dimensions, power and accommodation for crew and
special personnel. The Zwerver II is a further development of the Zwerver III. As a base, the Zwerver II began as an exact copy of the Zwerver III. But during the project, HvSDS asked for more vessel functionality and this resulted in additions and modifications. Newly engineered parts such as a foundation made for the gangway and crane were added and the bowthruster section was also reshaped to accommodate the azimuth thrusters in the foreship. w w w. s h i p b u i l d i n g -i n d u s tr y. e u

Important Developments The most important development for the Zwerver II is the gangway system for the walk-to-work function. This particular system was designed to take up less deck space and have the ability to work in several different positions. With the possibility to choose positioning, the vessel can be utilised for optimal working conditions and increased deployment options.
The aft deck crane is larger and equipped with an extra jib with an active-heave compensated winch. The mainboom features an installed winch with a working load of 20t, which also can be used in double fall to hoist up to 40t. On the main boom, a fixed hook is attached and the crane is positioned above the towing winch and the gangway system to take no extra deck space. Another noteworthy upgrade is the system
The ship is equipped with DP II, 4-point mooring, a crane of 510 Tm with an Active Heave Compensated winch, a conventional crane of 370 Tm and Passive Heave Compensated gangway for the purpose of transferring staff at windmills/platforms.

upgrade from DP-1 to DP-2. Installing more power for the bow thrusters increases the DP power, and the two channel bow thrusters were replaced with 360° rotatable azimuth thrusters with nozzle. The accommodation facility is also increased on the Zwerver II with the use of two accommodation vessels delivered with the ship. The maximum number of people is 17 but this can be further increased to 21 persons onboard not in continuous operation. The accommodation containers are built and delivered by Kooiman.
High-Level Vessel The Zwerver II was designed and built under Bureau Veritas and will operate under the Dutch flag. All extra features were installed without losing any existing performance of the previous design. The bollard pull of the vessel will be approximately 65t, which considering the draft of only 2.7m in this class is exceptional. The resulting high-level vessel, Zwerver II, was based on clear input and a close working relationship between HVSDS and Kooiman. Martien Beeke from Shipyard

Alberto Galassi, Ceo of ferretti Group, outlined the new project to the Minister of the Interior, Angelino Alfano, and senior representatives of the Armed forces and Government.
Innovative Vessels
The Navy, the Coast Guard and the Police are becoming increasingly involved in the monitoring and control of coastlines, taking an active part in patrol and search and rescue missions, as well as having to deal with emergencies linked with migrants, trafficking, and safety at sea. The Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is for FSD to become one of the main benchmarks for the Navy, Coastguard, Police, and Security forces in Italy and abroad. 2 4 | S B I 2 0 1 6 | Volum e 10 | Issue 2
Ferretti.indd 24
The new division will focus on designing, developing and producing a new range of high-tech naval platforms with mission profiles and specifications precisely intended for the challenging conditions encountered during operations to guarantee the security, patrol and defense of coastlines and international and territorial waters. ferretti Group is confirming its expansion and development plans with additional investments in research, development and manufacturing operations, all of which are to be carried out in Italy. Major investments worth around eUR 50 million in product
research and development have already resulted in six new models being added to the range in 2015 and a total of 27 new products due within 2017. The Group is expanding the scope of its operations and aims to meet the growing demand for innovative vessels offering cutting edge performance and state of the art technological solutions, engineered to cater to all of the potential scenarios that may be encountered at sea.
Solid Foundation
fSD has the benefit of the considerable production capacity available at ferretti Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six shipyards located across Italy, as well as the superior know-how of its resources in terms of technology and quality that have been amassed since the company was founded 50 years ago.

foundations put ferretti Group in an ideal position to build vessels in steel, aluminium and composite materials specifically designed for applications such as search and rescue missions or patrol, surveillance, anticrime and anti-terrorism operations. fSD has designed its first range of vessels capable of handling the most challenging missions with adaptable configurations that can be adjusted to suit demanding requests. The first fast Patrol vessel built by fSD, called the fSD195, is a high performance, 20m vessel capable of reaching speeds in excess of 50 knots and with a range of over 400 miles. The fSD195 has RInA, fPv and Ce approval, and is currently in the construction phase. It will be ready to enter the water in May 2016, with a first launch scheduled for the coming summer. The www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

other platform in the development phase is the fSD 350. Its length is 35.4m, features a speed of 45 knots and can host 20 service persons in addition to the four person crew.
Strong Support
“The Italian Government has always believed in the shipbuilding industry which is vitally important for the economy. fSD is an important venture and represents a major challenge for an Italian company like ferretti Group, that has decided to make full use of its know-how and enter this market, competing with companies from the public and private sectors. ferretti Group was not afraid to rise to the challenge of taking on this international context. As a yachtsman and a lover of the sea, I would like to wish ‘happy sailing’ to the new vessels built by FSD,” commented the minister of the
Interior, hon. Angelino Alfano, “it is my pleasure to welcome the advent of an Italian company like ferretti Group in the Security and Defense sector, which is vitally important for our country.” “The Group’s expertise in terms of R&D, know-how relating to technology and innovation, and the industrial capacity we have developed at our boat yards, will also benefit the new fSD Division,” said Alberto Galassi. “fSD’s mission is to develop highly technical vessels, whose performance and efficiency meet the challenging demands faced by those answering the important need for surveillance and who guarantee the safety of our waters, an issue that has always been associated with all of the operations undertaken by our Group.” i. www.ferrettisecurityanddefence.com S B I 2016 | Vo l u me 10 | I s s u e 2 | 2 5

BWM Convention – Where Are We Today? On mOst ships, the use Of ballast water is an indispensable part Of safe OperatiOns. hOwever, in sOme circumstances, ballast water is alsO capable Of transpOrting invasive species and this can have a negative impact On the marine envirOnment. tO address this issue, the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships‘ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWMC) was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2004. This convention requires ship owners to install management and treatment systems on vessels to prevent the transportation of invasive species.

the requirements of the BWM convention.” The IMO guidelines for the approval of ballast water treatment systems (G8 guidelines) are currently being reviewed and strengthened to ensure that acquired systems are suitable for worldwide use and that compliant performance is possible under real operating conditions. Mr Lundahl Rasmussen adds, “I believe the BWM convention should not enter into force until necessary changes to this effect have been adopted.”
equipment fulfils the requirements of the convention. Sampling and testing by port states or national administrations should be cost neutral for shipowners, unless the ship is found not to be compliant with the BWM convention or other similar regulations. Indicative testing and analysis obtained during port state control or other inspections can only be used as a means of screening. More stringent testing is needed to determine whether or not a ship is compliant.”
Impact on the Industry
According to the IMO, the BWM convention has 48 countries as signatories, representing 34.35% of the world fleet tonnage. The remaining 0.65% may be met during 2016. So far, the main obstacles for ratification seem to be a lack of approved and proven technologies with a good track record and, specifically for EU countries, a lack of a harmonised testing procedures for BWM systems. As the BWM convention looks like it won’t enter into force until 2017 at the earliest, BIMCO would like its members to note the following.
Bringing the IMO Ballast Water convention into force before US approved treatment systems are available would put ship owners in an untenable position. This is because they would be required to fit an IMO type approved system, only to possibly find out soon after that it does not meet US regulations and would have to then be replaced. Mr Lundahl Rasmussen comments, “I would call on equipmentmakers and governments to work together to ensure common sense prevails – by which I mean that US typeapproved ballast water management systems should be available to ship owners when the IMO convention comes into force.” The BWM convention calls for sampling of ships’ ballast water during port state inspections. Mr Lundahl Rasmussen believes that, “port states should accept a ship’s International BWM Certificate, issued by the Classification Society or Flag State, as evidence that its

Requirements

The BWM convention requires ships to either be fitted with an approved Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) meeting the discharge standard under Regulation D-2, by the dates specified in the BWMC Regulation B-3 (see table below). Or ships can comply by other accepted methods using principles approved by the BWMC, as an alternative means of compliance with the Regulation D-2. The BWMC Regulation D-1 (Ballast Water Exchange) applies to all ships from the date of entry into force of the convention. The BWM convention requires ships to have the following upon entry into force: • approved ballast water management plan • ballast water record book • International Ballast Water Management Certificate (IBWMC) issued after survey in accordance with the BWMC Regulation E-1. Ships surveyed for compliance with the BWMC may be issued with a voluntary ‘Statement of Compliance’ issued by the

Busy Year Optimarin
Ballast water treatment specialist Optimarin, is continuing its strong start to the year by signing a fleet agreement with UK company Carisbrooke. The deal has the potential to encompass Optimarin Ballast System (OBS) retrofits on the firm’s entire fleet of 46 bulk and multipurpose vessels. This follows news that OBS was selected for nine Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group vessels, in addition to an order for ten units for Atlantis Tankers; marking Optimarin’s first foray into the fishing sector. The power of the UV lamps in OBS has 35kw capacity, ensuring they meet USCG’s strict FDA/CFMDA criteria. Optimarin CEO Tore Andersen
commented, “OBS satisfied USCG’s comprehensive marine water tests in 2015, with full approval now expected in autumn this year. This, along with our vast experience of providing flexible, reliable and easy to install technology, is a key selling point for any owner looking to trade in US waters.” In addition to its upcoming USCG approval, OBS is fully approved by IMO and certified through DNV GL, Lloyd¹s, Bureau Veritas, MLIT Japan, and American Bureau of Shipping. Optimarin has now sold over 370 systems, with more than 270 installed, over 60 of which being retrofits. i. www.optimarin.com w w w. s h i p b u i l d i n g -i n d u s tr y. e u

Ready for Approval
Bio-Sword
CathelCO
Cathelco have submitted a letter of intent to the U.S. Coast Guard verifying readiness to begin testing their Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) system for Type Approval. “Our system has already received IMO Type Approval and AMS Certification from the USCG. We recognise that it is essential to attain USCG Type Approval as soon as possible,” said Robert Field, Cathelco’s Technical Director. “Many ship owners are still undecided about which BWT system to purchase for their vessels. Clearly, potential customers will have greater

aCO marine
confidence in a system that has attained USCG Type Approval and we are committed to achieving this within the next 12 months.” Cathelco’s BWT system is based on a combination of filtration and UV technology that automatically adjusts to different seawater qualities. A recent installation of the BWT system was onboard the Harvey Stone (Hull 234), an offshore vessel built by the Eastern Shipbuilding Group for Harvey Gulf International Marine. i. www.cathelco.com
The bio-sword and MF filtration material, the patented technology system at the heart of ACO Marine’s new Clairmar MF, provides a cost-effective wastewater treatment process. Attributed to Mark Beavis, Managing Director of ACO Marine, the bio-sword negates the need for settling or chlorination tanks. This results in a smaller footprint, while capacity and treatment concentrations increase fourfold. It is completely corrosion resistant, lightweight and the process does not impact the flux rate meaning that treatment of black and grey wastewater is unaffected by the rolling motion of a vessel in rough seas. The system’s modular design
affords simple installation and requires only one power connection. While ACO Marine cannot go into too much detail about the bio-sword or the selfcleaning filtration technology, it can say that together it results in a system capable of treating ship’s wastewater to well below the mandatory levels. Type-Approved to Bureau Veritas standards and meeting MEPC 227(64) and EC MED module B requirements. Since the Clarimar MF’s introduction on 2014, ACO Marine has taken orders averaging three systems per month. i. www.acomarine.com

Robust Technology
BIO-Uv
The BIO-UV/BIO-SEA company, with more than 15 years of experience in UV water treatment decided to tackle the ballast water treatment issue five years ago by designing a system compliant with IMO and USCG Regulations. The resulting bronze aluminium and titanium UV reactor is corrosionresistant and delivers high performance with only one single medium pressure UV lamp of 22kW. It automatically adapts the UV dose to correspond to the quality of water being treated. BIO-SEA by BIO-UV allows the reactors to be connected in parallel, giving flexibility in terms

WÄRTSIlÄ of flow rate management and allows for easier integration for retrofits. The BIO-SEA by BIO-UV system was granted IMO Type Approval in 2013, and has obtained USCG acceptance as AMS. Already in line with IMO and USCG discharge standards with MPN method in 2016 BIO-UV will undertake a series of complementary tests to demonstrate the compliance of the current system regardless of the methods chosen by the USCG. i. www.bio-uv.com i. www.ballast-water-treatment.com
A new crane ship designed by Royal IHC will feature the Wärtsilä Aquarius UV Ballast Water Management System (BWMS). The Wärtsilä BWMS has been designed to meet vessel space requirements and Wärtsilä also provided engineering support to both the designer and end-user to ensure proper system operation in accordance with regulations. “It is important for us as this will be the first Wärtsilä BWMS to be installed in a Royal IHC designed ship, and the first in the coastal workboat market,” says Joe Thomas, Director, Ballast Water Management Systems, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
Wärtsilä Aquarius UV BWMS provides robust technology for the treatment of ballast water using a simple two-stage process involving filtration and ultra-violet (UV) irradiation, across a range of ship operating and environmental conditions. The system uses no active substances, is easy to integrate and maintain. It is Type Approved according to IMO Convention and has AMS acceptance certificate from the USCG. It has also been verified for explosion proof (EX) requirements and can be used onboard hazardous areas. i. www.wartsila.com

Training for the Future AlfA lAvAl
When the retrofit market for ballast water treatment systems gains speed, supply of treatment systems will only be one part of meeting market demands. Specific knowledge and skills will also be required among design and installation partners. For this reason, Alfa Laval has developed a comprehensive training programme for engineering companies preparing to work with their PureBallast system. Alfa Laval’s PureBallast is a ballast water treatment system with the Enhanced UV Reactor, which was developed jointly by Alfa Laval and Wallenius Water based on
Wallenius Water Technology. By actively training its network of engineering partners, Alfa Laval will be ready with technical solutions, as well as with a network of well-trained engineers to meet the retrofit boom. Alfa Laval’s multi-day training courses cover all technical aspects affecting PureBallast design and installation. They also deal with cooperation, workflow and documentation handling, so as to ensure a smooth process along with a technically correct result. i. www.alfalaval.com
Alternative Solution DAmen
In certain cases, retrofit of a treatment system is not always an easy option – perhaps because ships operate on non-exempted fixed routes or because the age of a ship is so old that to make any such investment would not be cost effective. Alternative ballast water treatment options are also needed for backup in cases of onboard system treatment failure. Damen has developed a unique mobile discharge technology, called InvaSave, which enables port based treatment of ballast water. With InvaSave, ballast water only needs treating at the point of
discharge. Damen can deliver the technology in a self-sufficient mobile container, which can be put on a barge or moved around the port on a trailer, a pontoon or other types of vessel. Each Damen InvaSave container unit handles 300 m³/h – and it’s easy to scale up if required, using multiple InvaSave container units. IMO Type Approval by the Dutch flagstate is expected in 2016 and a patent is pending. In a forthcoming phase USCG Type Approval shall be obtained. i. www.damenballastwatertreatment.com

The RAstar Offshore/Escort Tugs designation is reserved for a unique class of ASd tugs, designed with a sponsoned hull form, a concept originated by Robert Allan 20 years ago.
C
ivitavecchia and its sister vessel Saraceno Primo are the first of the latest evolution of the successful RAstar tug series, now entering its 20th year of on-going progressive development.
Meeting Demands This latest delivery is the first vessel of the Sanmar Ulucay class tugboat which is based on the RAstar 3200W design. Sanmar’s Ali Gurun comments, “The RAmparts 3200 design, of 70-80t BP, has proven itself in previous years. We have constructed 11 vessels of this series. Over time, due to the changing demands of customers, we have felt the need for a new 32m design, under 500GRT, with 80-90t BP. These first sister vessels are 85t versions of this new design.” Robert Allan worked in close cooperation with Sanmar to develop this new class of BP tugs, targeted at the European market. The design was tailored to provide ultimate operational flexibility and a level of safety and redundancy not achievable with a smaller vessel. Specific features include a very low profile, wide beam, and shortened forecastle deck while maintaining the sea

keeping and escorting capabilities of the RAstar class. With space and volume at a premium, accommodation, locker, and deck arrangements were optimised for utility. Unique additions include a bow thruster and deck crane to aid in oil recovery operations. With an emphasis on technology and quality, this class of tug was fitted with top of the line equipment and constructed with crew comfort as a priority.
All Decked Out True workhorses, these vessels have been designed to carry 210m3 fuel oil and 63m3 potable water for extended endurance. The propulsion machinery consists of a pair of mAn 7l27/38 main engines each producing 2,555kW at 800rpm. This power is transmitted via Rolls Royce US25 cP Z-drive thrusters with 2.8m diameter propellers. The wheelhouse is arranged to provide maximum all-round visibility, with overhead viewing windows. it features a split console forward, from where all steering and firefighting controls are conducted. The tugboat features well-appointed cabins for a total of eight crew and also offers a generous galley and a number of amenities in the mess/lounge area.

HYBRID PROPULSION
T
he Hour Of Power has been well received by the marine industry worldwide. This simple concept enables vessels to run in and out of ports for an hour on electric with battery power – then carry out their open sea work on diesel power. The aim of this innovative hybrid solution is to enhance conventional power and propulsion systems. Vessels can reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption while extending engine maintenance periods and engine life.
Green Energy plus Viable Business Case
This is not just green energy for the sake of it. The Hour Of Power focuses on hybrid solutions linked to viable business cases. For commercial and professional organisations the concept of running vessels with zero emissions at up to 10 knots for one hour will shape decisions that lead to improvements of in-service systems and procurement of next generation vessels. The overall objective is fuel saving and improved efficiency. For the marine industry to move forward, it needs to utilise expertise from aviation and other sectors to drive this innovation and support relevant safety standards. Automotive manufacturers in Europe, the Far East and the US have recognised that hybrid technologies such as PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) utilising lithium ion batteries will be dominant for the next decade. Reducing emissions from buses and trucks in the world’s major cities has been a key driver for lithium ion battery power storage. The need for self-sufficient land based grid applications has further extended the capabilities of next generation battery and hybrid technology.
Serial and Parallel Hybrid Power Systems Diesel/electric systems have been used in large ships for many years but these are not hybrid systems. The diesel/electric vessel uses its engines to connect directly to an electrical generator. The power in the
www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu
Hybrid Marine Power.indd 45
system is then transferred electrically to the propeller shaft via a motor controller and electric motor. The system may have multiple generators and multiple motors. By strict definition this is not a hybrid as there is no storage of electric energy. There are currently two main types of hybrid systems. Firstly a serial hybrid, where the engine in the system powers only a generator and is not mechanically connected to the propeller shaft. Secondly a parallel hybrid, where the engine is mechanically connected along with an electric ‘machine’ that can operate as both a propulsion motor and a generator. The reduced electric propulsion, generator and battery demands of a parallel system substantially reduce cost compared to a serial system. Parallel systems are more likely to win initial market acceptance because of a perceived greater reliability, as the ‘trusted’ diesel engine is still connected to the propeller shaft with the electric propulsion adding a redundant system.
Increase Efficiency
The hybrid marine market is entering a period of rapid change and commercial opportunity. Boat builders, engine manufacturers, designers and naval architects are now developing systems for survey vessels, superyacht tenders, patrol vessels and unmanned craft. Benefits include improvements in energy reliability, increased fuel-efficiency, lifecycle cost reductions and reduced emissions. DNV-GL USA recently stated that, “energy storage is an exciting new technology, but the offshore E&P sector of the oil and gas industry has yet to truly take advantage of it. Tugboats, workboats and OSVs are particularly suitable for hybridisation.” When studying work cycles of vessels it is relatively straightforward to make a decision for new builds on whether to go for all electric or a diesel/electric hybrid system. For example a ferry operating over a short route with a long stopover each end could

offer the perfect work cycle for ‘electric only’ with a land based charging system. Other issues, such as the cost of downtime and structural alterations affect viability calculations for the retrofit of in-service crafts. BAE Systems is a provider of hybrid propulsion systems with technical experience in hybrid technology for landbased applications. David Adamiak, Senior Manager Business Development at BAE Systems HybriDrive said, “From over ten years experience supplying hybrid technology to bus and transport sectors we know that cost-benefit calculations start with the initial purchase of the system. Payback periods can be based on the life cycle of the vessel and life cycle of the hybrid power system. Once a system is defined, projections of savings can be based on engine management data linked to work cycles.” Hybrid systems are infinitely
scalable which enables owners to specify what they are trying to achieve over a period of time or an entire fleet. Mr Adamiak added, “We supplied a HybriDrive system to the 19m research vessel Spirit Of The Sound. She runs virtually silently on battery electric power for two hour study cruises on Long Island Sound.”
Hybrid Systems and ‘The Hour Of Power’
Certain maritime sectors are potentially well suited to hybrid diesel/electric systems. These include wind farm support vessels and pilot boats that have relatively consistent duty cycles, often running seven days a week to drop off or collect technicians and pilots. Focus is now on the sub IMO/sub 24m workboat, pilot boat and patrol craft sectors to investigate the engineering and systems integration required to bring together viable and sustainable solutions. With vessel life cycles

of over 20 years, naval architects and builders of new crafts will offer designs that have space and access routes to enable retrofit of hybrid installations. Speed limits in harbours and channel approaches at the beginning and end of daily transits may mean that ‘The Hour Of Power’ is all that is required for the electric part of the cycle.
Next Generation Cells & Batteries
The next generation of cells and batteries are key technology developments that are making marine hybrid systems potentially viable. Since there is no single system that fits every application it is important to work with manufacturers that have flexibility in cell manufacturing and offer scalable solutions. New factories with fully automated processes are designed to ensure consistently high-quality cells and quality control of the entire battery management system.

The marine sector can learn from battery advances in aviation and land transport sectors. Michigan based XALT Energy offer several variants of High Energy, High Power, and Ultra Hi-Power cells. Robert Young, Technical Lead for Marine Applications at XALT Energy, said, “Our team of engineers have worked to the highest standards developing electric and hybrid energy solutions for the automotive sector. XALT Energy not only has the necessary knowledge, but also the experience of taking high voltage battery projects from concept through production into the finished system.”
Hybrid Conference
In October 2015 the Hybrid Marine Power & Propulsion conference, held at the Royal National Lifeboat Institution headquarters in Poole UK, considered all aspects of hybrid energy. Presenters highlighted how fuel can be saved, maintenance costs reduced and engine life extended. Sessions focused on industry experience from subject matter experts including Lloyds Register and DNV GL. A relevant topic was high-energy battery installations and safety requirements, including the MCA discussing the latest Marine Guidance Note on Lithium-ion and stored energy onboard. Following the hybrid marine conference Mr Young added, “We are now working with boat builders, naval architects and marine

operators to analyse different workboat duty cycles. Engine management data can be matched to battery characteristics to develop the most efficient solutions. XALT Energy onboard energy management systems are designed to ensure that battery systems operate at optimum performance. The objective is hybridising and electrifying marine vessels to produce financial benefits and reduced emissions.”

the capability for utility work and as the demand for wind farm support has intensified, vessels have been specifically developed for these tasks. If wind, wave and tidal energy installations want genuine ‘green’ credentials it is logical to reduce consumption of fossil fuels wherever possible. The Hour Of Power concept lends itself to WFSV operating in the wind farm maintenance phase. A conventional diesel powered vessel with a bank of batteries on board can be specified to run at hull speed, usually around 10 knots, for an hour at a time on battery electric power. A typical working day starts with the WFSV captain and crew preparing the vessel. The vessel would first be disconnected from shore power and leave the dock and harbour on battery electric power. At the outer sea, diesel power takes over for highspeed transit to the wind farm and during this time the batteries re-charge. Many vessels then have hours of waiting in the wind farms. Loitering at low speed and low revs is not an efficient load cycle for diesel engines, plus it leads to increased maintenance and reduced engine life. This loitering period could instead be on battery power. Later in the day diesel power is used for the high-speed transit back to port where battery electric power takes over to enter the harbour, with zero emissions. At the dock shore power is then re-connected for overnight charging. Indentifying the viability of hybrid diesel/ electric power for WFSV is an interesting project that links green energy onboard with renewable energy from the environment. Hooking up to offshore wind farm turbines may even provide charging options. Many wind farms are ‘overplanted’ which means there is more energy generated by wind than is required for the grid on land. This surplus allows for downtime and maintenance of turbines. For offshore wind farms in sea areas such as the Dogger Bank in the North Sea which is over 125km from land, wind generated electricity could be utilised at source from the offshore grid.
considering innovative battery power and diesel electric propulsion systems. The challenge for designers is to engineer solutions utilising hybrid technology that are affordable and manageable in terms of physical size, weight and maintenance. As new sources of energy become available it is important to identify which energy source best fits the vessel, duty cycle and environment to give efficient power when it is needed. Since no two vessels, routes or captains are alike, decisions can be improved with data logging and analysis. Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) power management systems will bring together diesel, electric and battery data to create optimised whole vessel hybrid systems. As ocean going shipping, automotive, transport and aviation move rapidly towards hybrid solutions it will be interesting to see how the marine industry decides to utilise the numerous opportunities.
Next Generation Marine Power & Propulsion Conference – Southampton UK 26 to 28 April 2016 This unique event brings together an international group of experts, to identify the potential of utilising new sources of energy, including hybrid power and propulsion systems. Attendees will include professional, commercial and military endusers, boat operators, boat builders, engine manufacturers, mechanical & electrical engineers and naval architects. i. www.hybridmarine-power.com

aleària has decided to use liquefi ed natural gas (LNG) and solar power as energy sources for the ferry that will be built at LaNaval Shipyard. The two companies signed the contract that included an opti on for a second sister ship. Chairman of Baleària, Adolfo Utor, said, “With the new ferry we reinforce the idea of pleasure travelling being compati ble with respect for the environment. We want to establish a before and aft er in mariti me transport, incorporati ng the latest technology to make the trip a unique experience for passengers. We want them to think about their next voyage on this vessel. The ship will also meet the needs of
logisti cs operators, both in service and capacity, which will be key to the viability of the project.”
Setting the Standard
The new vessel will be among the largest in Europe, with a length of 232.2m and a beam of 30.4m. It will also be the fi rst passenger ferry powered by LNG in the Mediterranean. The ship will be able to reach a speed of 23 knots thanks to three dual fuel engines, which can be used either with natural gas or liquid fuel, and thus allow the company to reduce CO2, NOx emissions by more than 40%, and avoid emissions of sulfur and other parti culate matt ers.

Smartship Services
The new ferry will not only be innovative because of clean energy and its large capacity, but also for its available passenger services. This will be a smartship, where customers will be able access a multitude of information using their smartphones or mobile devices. Passengers will have access to, among other options, tracking systems, entertainment and cuisine onboard, accommodation information and booking destinations, data navigation, and meteorology. The architecture of the ferry prioritises many open interior and exterior public spaces, incorporating the latest innovations in the cruise market. The vessel will have all the comforts and services that will transform the trip into an unforgettable experience for passengers. It will have capacity for 1,600 passengers, 70% of which can be accommodated in cabins, plus 340 vehicles. Services for passengers will include two restaurants, four bars (one outside), a playground, two multi-purpose theatres (one outside and one inside), two pools and two hot tubs, a gym, hairdresser, lounge, library, and cinema. The ship will have a cargo capacity of 3,300 metres of truck lanes.
Eco-Efficient Measures
In its commitment to eco-efficiency and innovation as well as the gas propulsion, Baleària will consider energy optimisation of all ship systems. Such options to be considered include: • Installation of solar panels to power all onboard services. • Design of the hull and appendages to improve performance and reduce power required.
www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

• Use of propulsion systems that reduce fuel consumption, such as high-efficiency propellers, number of shaft lines, types of rudders, etc. • Applying coatings for the outside of the ship to reduce resistance. • Lighting with LED technology. • Regulation of air conditioning units, adapted to the needs of each space. • System monitoring of the different vessel processes to allow for parameter adjustment resulting in minimum energy consumption. • Installation of variable frequency PTOs to let ship propellers work close to their optimum design point.
Long-Term Relationship
Jose Ignacio Irasuegui, Managing Director of LaNaval states, “The signing of the contract, after months of working together, confirms our strategy of working closely with our customers from the earliest conceptual stages. This is a milestone that consolidates LaNaval’s position in the passenger ship market and, in general, the design and construction of ships with high technological

Multi-Purpose Tractor Tugs NeTherlaNds-based OffshOre ship desigNers (Osd) have desigNed a NeW series Of high-perfOrmaNce TracTOr tugs which can be used for a wide range of functions, including escort operations, harbour towage, ship handling, offshore mooring and berthing.

SD President Michiel Wijsmuller explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have noticed a growing interest in tugs with a tractor configuration amongst our clients, so these multifunctional new designs are a good addition to our solid design portfolio.â&#x20AC;? The basic model tug has a length overall of 33m and a beam of 13.5m, but the tug design can be tailored to various sizes. The high forecastle deck ensures good seakeeping performance. The hull is shaped with side wings to reduce drag, enhance stability and to improve roll-damping. This makes the vessels perfectly suited for offshore towing and salvage.

The Choice is Yours
The new tug designs available from Osd offer clients a choice depending on purpose. The azitrac and cyclotrac designs are both Tractor Tugs, capable of delivering high bollard pull and superior escort forces. each are identical platforms with regards to hull shape, outfitting, and accommodation. The only difference is related to the propulsion method: azimuthing thrusters for the azitrac design, and cycloidal propellers for the cyclotrac design. Osd leave this choice open to the end user, each choice bringing its own unique benefits and return of investment.
The benefits of either propulsion system depend on operational requirements. in general terms, the manoeuvring forces delivered by either system are omnidirectional. The unique selling point of a cycloidal propeller however is that the manoeuvring force can be applied in any direction almost instantaneously. The azimuthing thruster will have a slightly delayed response as the directional force delivered by the propeller is rotated over the vertical axis to the required vector and this comes with a delay due to the corresponding rotational speed.

The Real Thing
The most common tug type in operation word-wide is the azimuthing stern drive (asd) tug. While not being an actual tractor tug, the asd tug can be operated in reverse mode as reverse tractor tugs, however it is always better to have the real thing. a true tractor tug can deliver higher escort forces and superior stability compared to an ASD operated as a reverse tractor tug. Osd has extensive experience with asd Tugs, which are currently marketed as azistern designs. There are currently more than twenty different azistern (asd) designs under construction or in operation. With clients expressing an interest in tractor tugs Osd now can supply this type of tug as well. The wheelhouse design gives an excellent overview of the work-deck during escort operations and optimum visibility over the bow during transit modes. a broad towstaple on the aft-deck reduces moment of inclination caused by tension on the wire, while the spacious aft-deck itself accommodates the towing winch. The aft bulwark structure is outfitted with an integrated tow-pin arrangement. a knuckleboom crane is outfitted with outreach over the aft-deck area. The tugs can be fitted with either voith schneider cycloidal propellers (the cyclotrac 3270 model) or azimuthing thrusters (the azitrac 3270 design). The propulsion drive configuration can be adapted to client specification – diesel-electric, hybrid with or without batteries, etc. depending on engine and propulsion configuration, a bollard pull of 90 t can be achieved. Osd’s mlccompliant tugs can be delivered with a fifi1 class notation and have accommodation for 8 to 12 people.
Adapted Solutions
Osd prides itself on expertise, independence and flexibility. The new azitrac and cyclotrac designs can be adapted to meet any client requirements and this is not limited only to the choice of propulsion and bollard pull. Osd can tailor

the new tractor tug design to meet other requirements such as main particulars (lxbxh), machinery systems, power management, equipment, accommodation, and class notation. Mr Wijsmuller adds, “As an independent design company, we are able to work with clients, and can produce any tug or Osv design to their specific requirements. it is good to have several basic designs so clients can see what we have on offer and these new tractor tugs are a perfect example of that.”

hip owners and operators are faced with both challenges and opportunities when facing iMo tier iii. they are searching for alternative sources of auxiliary power rather than using Marine Gas oil (MGo)-fuelled engines and after-treatment systems. The iMo tier iii compliant lnG genset developed by Man rollo is the result of the decision the company made to pioneer the development of environmentally-friendly solutions. With the development of LNG bunkering infrastructure, lnG is beginning to be seen as a viable fuel for marine applications. This marks a step, towards the common use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for marine auxiliary power.
Challenges and Advantages
the major challenges of lnG relate to its storage and handling requirements. it must be stored at low pressure and low temperature (-162°C) In the confined space of a marine vessel, this poses a greater problem than on land. the design of the storage tank must be spherical or cylindrical to be able to withstand the low temperatures and be heavily insulated. Additional safety measures must also be in place including purging systems, ventilation systems, gas detection systems, fire detection systems, automation systems, etc. Such additional systems and specific design

requirements drive up the costs of producing lnG-fuelled vessels. the main advantage of lnG is that it is essentially methane and is cheaper than MGo. when used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine, it produces no soot, 70% less NOx and 10% less CO2 than an equivalent MGo-fuelled engine. this means that if correctly designed, such an engine can be iMo tier iii compliant without the need for exhaust after treatment. LNGfuelled engines are quieter, have longer maintenance intervals and require less maintenance. Thus, after the initial investment, an lnG-fuelled vessel results in less operational costs.
Tier III Compliant
Man rollo developed a set of three 480 ekw gensets for use in the passenger ferry MS helgoland. according to Koert van der ploeg, technical Specialist at Man rollo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the genset is based on the successful Man e 3262 le 222 gas engine, which has a proven history on land and is a true gas engine, not a modified diesel engine. The challenges we faced were to ensure that the genset met both the hardware and control algorithm requirements of dnv-Gl classification society so that it could be safely installed and used in the ferry. we

also had to ensure that it met the specified performance requirements, which included IMO Tier III compliant exhaust emissions. Even though MAN Rollo has extensive knowledge of gas engines, it was only possible to meet these challenges by working closely with our partners heinzmann, Man truck & Bus and Karl dungs to obtain approval for the subsystems. In addition, we worked closely with the fassmer Shipyard from the start of the vessel design process to obtain approval for the entire system as installed onboard. MAN Rollo initiated and acted as the system

The genset had to meet specified performance requirements related to load steps, operational stability, parallel running and exhaust emissions. The load steps requirement was of special importance and is just one of the areas in which the final genset design excels.

the range of Air/Fuel Ratios (AFRs) at which it can operate. Attempting to operate outside of the acceptable range will cause the engine to either detonate or misfire and stall. The acceptable AFR range for a spark ignited lean-burn engine running on LNG is narrower than that for a diesel engine running on MGO. This, in conjunction with the turbocharger response time, makes it technologically challenging for an LNG engine to achieve the same load steps as its MGO counterpart. By carefully designing and optimising the engine control systems, the MAN Rollo genset can achieve load steps of 20% or better. The genset is also able to handle an increase in power of 40 ekW/s, which means that it can go from zero to its maximum rated power of 480 ekW in just 12 seconds.” This, together with its low emissions, quiet operation, DNL-GL certification and low operational costs makes the MAN Rollo genset a viable alternative to an equivalent MGO-fuelled genset.

company Cassen Eils. The three MAN Rollo gensets are installed in an Emergency Shut Down (EMS) engine room of the ferry; they provide auxiliary power that can be used to meet the hotel load or to feed the Power Take Ins (PTIs) of the two main propulsion plants if extra vessel speed is required. MAN Rollo worked closely with Fassmer Shipyard to ensure that the operational and safety systems of the ship and the gensets work seamlessly together. The ferry provides a year-round service between the northern German city of Cuxhaven and the island of Helgoland in the North Sea. The 79-metre-long vessel can accommodate one thousand passengers and is entirely built according to the ‘Blue Angel’ environmental standards. The MS Helgoland is the first new ship in Germany that uses LNG as a fuel. As a result, soot particles are largely eliminated, and NOx and CO2 emissions are significantly reduced.
MAN Rollo supplies engines, service, parts and filter systems for the maritime and industrial sectors in Europe. The company acts as a representative of leading brands such as MAN, Hengst and Parker. MAN Rollo provides services in the areas of installation, maintenance, overhaul and repair. MAN Rollo is part of the international trading and service organisation Pon, one of the largest family businesses in the Netherlands.

Conidia Addresses Fuel Storage Contamination
There is growing evidence highlighting the problems caused by microbial contaminants that breed in fuels following water ingress.
