Editor’s

note

Consumer’s Paradise Welcome to issue number five of ShipBuilding Industry. In this issue we present you with one of the hottest trade shows of this season: Iranimex 2016. The 18th edition of Iranimex, powered by Europort, takes place on Kish Island from 18 to 21 October, where over 300 exhibitors are expected to take part. Hundreds of high-profile overseas companies have signed up to exhibit, underlining the huge potential for new and renewed business ties in Iran already identified by the global shipping and offshore industry. In our 7-page comprehensive Iranimex Show Preview on page 10 we outline some of the not-to-miss exhibitors. In our Dredging Equipment Special, Rene´ Kolman, Secretary General of IADC, explains how dredging companies are operating in an increasingly complex world – not only are projects getting more complicated from a technical point of view, but there is also a growing environmental awareness amongst project proponents, legislators and dredging contractors. Go to page 26 to read more about this inspiring subject. We also feature a Ship Design & Construction Special with, for example, Knud E. Hansen’s recently launched Virtual Reality tool on page 56. Further, there is also an article about the Texelstroom, one of the world’s first hybrid RoPax-ferries, on page 44. Wartsila ¨ ¨ Ship Design has introduced a new optimised stern trawler design; read more about it on page 24. This time we feature a Ship Report about the trailing suction hopper dredger, JUN YANG 1, from Royal IHC. She left the Dutch shipyard in August 2016 to arrive at her homeport in September 2016. With a hopper capacity of 21,393m3, she is the largest vessel of its kind in China. Read more about her on page 20. But there is more: in our Focus on Germany, we outline shipyard Meyer Werft, which has built 41 cruise ships over the years. On page 32 we present you some of the shipyard’s highlights of 2016. And we have some Deck Equipment & Machinery articles waiting for you. anoeshka | eDItoR anoeshka@ynfpublIsheRs.com

news in brief First Containership LNG Conversion Classification

World’s Most Efficient Ferries

Bureau Veritas has classed the first LNG-fuelled newbuilding oil/chemical tanker, the 15,000dwt Ternsund, built under BV class at Avic Dingheng, China and delivered to Denmark’s Terntank Rederi at the end of June 2016. The new vessel is the result of close co-operation between Terntank, Avic and Bureau Veritas. The Ternsund is the first of a series of four ships all equipped with the Wärtsilä RT-flex50-D dual-fuel low-speed engine. This is the first installation of such an engine and it was done under BV class.

Caterpillar Marine have been selected to power four 3100 LM RoPax Ferries for Stena Line. Each ferry will be equipped with two MaK 12 M 43 C propulsion engines. Caterpillar will provide Stena Line with the most fuelefficient ferries in the world. This will set a new industry standard when it comes to operational performance, emissions and cost competitiveness. Caterpillar are supplying engines, gear boxes and four propellers which have the ability to be put in entirely automatic full feathering position, selectable via the control system and enabling the vessel to operate with only one propeller in certain modes. This improves vessel flexibility and reduces operating costs while at the same time increasing safety on board the vessel.

The Pioneering Spirit has successfully carried out her first heavy lift project. The removal of the 13,500t Yme mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) in the North Sea, 100km off the coast of Norway, was completed on 22 August. The Yme MOPU is a jack-up type platform standing on three steel legs of 3.5m diameter, which are inserted approximately 10m inside the subsea storage tank columns at 93m water depth. With this platform removal, Allseas was able to demonstrate the unique single-lift capabilities of the vessel. The platform has since been sea-fastened on board and the vessel is currently on her way to the newly developed dismantling yard in Lutelandet, Norway.

news in brief Phase Two of PERFECt Project

Mols-Linien Ro-Pax Vessel Design Deltamarin is to provide the Finnish Rauma Marine Constructions Oy shipyard with design services for a ropax vessel to be built for the Danish Mols-Linien A/S. Deltamarin’s scope of work includes basic and detail design of the hull outfitting, machinery and cargo areas. The new 158m ro-pax vessel will be designed and optimised to carry passengers and cargo between the Danish islands of Bornholm and Sjaelland. The cargo capacity will be 1,500 lane metres. Construction will start in spring 2017 and the vessel will enter service in autumn 2018.

Phase two of the highly successful PERFECt project has been signed by GTT, CMA CGM (CMA Ships) and DNV GL in cooperation with new project participants ABB, the Caterpillar company Solar Turbines, and OMT. The Piston Engine Room Free Efficient Containership project investigates the possibility of using a combined gas and steam turbine system (COGAS) to power an ultra large container vessel (ULCS). The first phase of the project showed promising results with regard to the commercial competitiveness of the design compared to a LNG-fuelled ship with a conventional propulsion system. The aim of the second phase of the project is to detail the technical concept and the commercial feasibility.

Mr Luo Rijia, Deputy Chief Engineer of CCCC GDC, said: “The new vessel will enable us to carry out capital dredging and land reclamation projects on the domestic and international markets in an efficient way.”

Long-Lasting IHC has a long-standing relationship with GDC and both companies cooperated closely in the design of the dredger. JUN YANG 1 is the 21st vessel built by IHC for CCCC GDC over the last 40 years. In four decades, IHC has developed a diverse portfolio of dredging vessels ranging from TSHDs to cutter suction dredgers and wheel dredgers. These dredgers were constructed either on the IHC slipways in the Netherlands, or in partnership with shipyards in the People’s Republic of China. “The very long-lasting relationship between GDC and IHC reflects the mutual trust and appreciation between the two companies,” says IHC’s Executive Director Shipbuilding, Arjan Klijnsoon. “This has resulted in extremely close cooperation on the construction of the largest TSHD in China.”

Training Programme Prior to delivery of the vessel, the IHC Training Institute offered a tailor-made

training programme to a group of GDC crew members at IHC’s facilities and on board the vessel. Due to the high level of automation, the crew required a specialised operator course. The course was specially designed for the dredging process by IHC so the crew could learn about the functioning and handling of the various systems on board, such as the

complete Dynamic Positioning/Dynamic Tracking (DP/DT) system. By offering expert training courses, IHC enabled the crew to open up the full potential of the vessel, and facilitate immediate operational readiness. i. www.royalihc.com

The new optimised stern trawler will reduce fuel consumption and notably increase overall vessel efficiency compared to currently available designs.

the Wärtsilä vs 6215 st stern trawler design has a unique aft ship layout. Furthermore, the combination of an optimised hull and a propulsion system driven by the Wärtsilä 31 engine sets this design apart from anything seen before in this market segment. In addition to the hybrid battery technology, the design also incorporates Wärtsilä’s 2-speed gearbox for further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. “Stern trawlers can be out fishing for up to 350 days a year and fuel consumption is, therefore, an extremely relevant consideration. Our new design features the

The design of the 82m-long vessel emphasises seakeeping and stability. The factory capacity is 80T/24h. Wärtsilä’s unmatched integration capabilities, resulting from its extensive portfolio of products, systems and solutions, enable the realisation of the best possible level of efficiency.

The Wärtsilä 31 engine has been recognised by Guinness World Records as being the world’s most efficient 4-stroke diesel engine.

EcosystEm sErvicEs

Heading Towards Sustainable Dredging thE ongoing nEEd for navigation in thE contExt of thE continually growing world population and tradE, togEthEr with thE challEngEs provided by climate change, are major drivers in the dredging sector. this growth means that there is a permanent need for marine infrastructure projects and this is especially so for people living in low-lying delta areas. WORDS BY rEné Kolman, sEcrEtary gEnEral of thE intErnational association of DreDging Companies (iaDC).

owever, nowadays, dredging companies are operating in an increasingly complex world – not only are projects getting more complicated from a technical point of view, but there is also a growing environmental awareness amongst project proponents, legislators and dredging contractors. companies are taking ownership of their responsibilities (environmental awareness in this case) by promoting the design and implementation of more sustainable solutions.

simply designing and developing solutions, however, is not enough. to enable broad implementation and to ensure effective realisation, these solutions have to be widely accepted by clients, project financers and other stakeholders. to that end, the benefits of these solutions or approaches should be taken into account in the evaluation method used. This is where the concept of ecosystem services (es) comes into play.

2 6 | S B I 2 0 1 6 | Volum e 10 | Issue 5

IADC.indd 26

Natural Resources and Ecosystem Services

the Es concept has been on the discussion table for decades, but over recent years it has been gaining more recognition both within the industry and beyond. it contributes to the design of more sustainable dredging and marine infrastructure works and their efficient implementation and realisation in environmentally-sensitive areas. in addition, the concept of ecosystem services could be an important tool for the integral evaluation of the effects projects have (either benefits or disadvantages) and in achieving broad public support. the concept of Es aims at classifying, describing and assessing the value of natural resources and ecosystem services in terms of benefits to society, such as the provision of food and other resources, coupled with air and water quality regulation. Though these benefits are always delivered, project

One benefit of ecosystem services is that it addresses the challenges of flooding. At the Polders of Kruibeke in Belgium, a new dyke will be built land-inwards (the horizontal line in the middle going from the River Scheldt to the right). This new ring dyke will protect the houses lying just outside the flood area during storm tide.

stakeholders (including developers, financers, governments, etc.) do not always perceive them as a full ‘economic good’. an es assessment can provide quantifiable information and data that can be included in a traditional cost-benefit analysis of a project. Thus, an es monetary valuation can be utilised to make a full environmental cost-benefit analysis and to weigh the cost of investment against not only technical profits, but also environmental and socioeconomic benefits. an es assessment also allows for a better comparison between project alternatives – not just scenarios that

The study, entitled “ecosystem services: towards integrated marine infrastructure project optimisation” was carried out by the Ecosystem management research group (eCoBe) of the University of antwerp. a specialist in Es and a group of experts from the dredging industry were also actively involved throughout the study to provide input on case studies and discuss intermediate results.

the study has been presented in a report, which is available on iadc’s website. the report identifies the general concept of es and the overall considerations regarding its use in the context of dredging projects. five case studies in highly distinct environments are highlighted, each demonstrating the outcome of es application. The case studies are: Wind farms at sea (C-power) in Belgium; Botany Bay in sydney, australia; the polders of Kruibeke in Belgium and the western scheldt container terminal and

taking ecosystem services into account right from the design phase of a project allows not only the generation of added value that might otherwise be overlooked, but also the avoidance of destruction which is impossible to mitigate, plus support from different stakeholders. as such, this goes a long way to help companies in the dredging industry achieve project success.

Each new ship will be approximately 135,000gt – slightly larger than the newest Disney Cruise Line ships, the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy – and each is currently planned to include about 1,250 guest staterooms. While design plans, ship names and itineraries are still in development, the Walt Disney Imagineering team is already dreaming up exciting new ways to create the world’s most magical oceangoing adventures.

Three New LNG-Powered Cruise Ships In September, Carnival Corporation & plc signed a memorandum of agreement with Meyer Werft and Meyer Turku to deliver three additional next-generation cruise ships that will be fully powered by LNG – the cleanest burning fossil fuel in the world. The new ship for P&O Cruises UK will be built by Meyer Werft with an expected delivery date of 2020. Based on Carnival Corporation’s next-generation ‘green cruising’ ship design, these new vessels will be part of the first generation of cruise ships to be fully powered by LNG, which is an industry first and an environmental breakthrough that will produce the most efficient ships in the company’s history. Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft said: “These new ships will be built in our most modern and environmentally-friendly facilities, and we are very proud to be designing, building and delivering ships that are providing breakthroughs in innovation and for the environment.”

Steel Cut for New Dream Cruises Ship In February of this year, the first piece of steel was cut at Meyer Werft for the construction of the second ship with construction number S.712 for Asian operator Dream Cruises. Delivery of the ship is planned for the autumn of 2017. The sister ship will be delivered in autumn this year. Both new ships for Dream Cruises will weigh in at around 151,000gt each and have enough capacity for more than 3,300 passengers. Each ship is 325m in length, 39.7m in breadth and will reach a trail speed of some 23 knots. These new ships are designed for the fast-growing Chinese cruise market.

DECK EQUIPMENT & MACHINERY

Modern, Yet SiMple and rugged

Finding an Optimum Today’s mega-ships, escorT Tugs wiTh hulls, modern maTerials and power configuraTions which generaTe very high sTeering forces, have already lead To new Thinking in deck equipmenT. This resulTed in the kooiman omega-pin, for example. This chock /staple for 80mm dyneema, a Bp of 1250kn and lr appraisal has a span of over 270° and is able to withstand a combined load of more than 700t. it is completely flush-retractable, made of highgrade stainless steel with polished surfaces and is suitable for synthetic rope – simple and clean.

he potential of this new product was quickly recognised by the front-runners of the escort tug world. kooiman was asked to design a version that could receive a line already connected to the escorted vessel. positioned on the most forward possible point of the escort tug, this makes the last stretch of the vessel’s approach to the quay much faster and easier. when not in use, it can be retracted, leaving a flush and free forward bulwark. Thus the ‘gamma-pin’ evolved.

is meant to be used solely with synthetic lines, such as dyneema. The gamma-pin enables close-by escort operations, with the towing line at an angle up to 135° from the centre line and 45° from horizontal. This ideally suits the modern, very manoeuvrable and powerful escort and harbour tugs. The high-grade stainless steel gamma-pin is designed according to lrs specifications. it has lr marine appraisal. with a safety factor of 2.5 this results in an swl of 140t (design load 350).

Characteristic Curves

Simplicity and Ruggedness

The design of the gamma-pin incorporates the basic shape of the omega-pin, with its characteristic curves and smooth finishing. These curves were carefully shaped to ensure that the line would never encounter a sharp corner, and a side opening was carefully designed and incorporated. dimensions were altered to ensure that the strength of the a-symmetric design remained within lrs specifications. a locking system for the loaded position was added. like the omega-pin, the gamma-pin

what the omega-pin and gamma-pin have in common with the more classic kooiman delta-pins and chain catcher combination, is their simplicity in design, ruggedness and use of modern materials. The number of parts in the delta-pins wire catcher/chain stopper combination is minimalised. The automatic release hook is closed by gravity and released when retracted into the deck. The number of parts is reduced to only the hook and its shaft. Both the pins and the wire catcher, made of

high-grade stainless steel, are hydraulically retractable into the deck. The pins are fitted with non-corroding, synthetic bearings and seals, ensuring durability and ruggedness. To protect the delta-pins from the wear and tear of running lines or chains, they are fitted with rotating sleeves. These are made of hardened steel and provided with rugged synthetic bearings.

The Gamma-Pin was carefully shaped to ensure that the line would never encounter a sharp corner, and a side opening was carefully designed and incorporated.

Safety Factor

The delta-pins have lloyds register marine appraisal, based on the breaking strength (design load) of the rope to be used. with a safety factor of 2.5 this results in an swl of 50t (design load 125) up to 150t (design load 375) for the respective types. The direction of horizontal pull is 60Â° to either side of the ship. in a vertical direction the maximum angle of pull is 30Â°. all kooiman deck equipment can be delivered as a complete unit with hydraulics, electrics, stored power and controls. engineering, manufacturing, placement and installation, including electric and hydraulic installation can all be executed in-house by kooiman. i. www.thekooimangroup.com

hese trading routes through the arctic regions demand vessels which comply with the highest ice-class requirements. in turn, these vessels are accompanied by even stronger ice-breakers, capable of breaking through thick layers of ice. another trend which has recently become noticeable is that cruise companies and private yacht owners are seeking out these adventurous waters for the spectacular view of white landscapes instead of the usual white beaches. Van Voorden castings acknowledged these trends at an early stage and started to

develop its knowledge base in both the ice-class design of propellers as well as the materials required for their manufacture. the challenging nature of the ice-cold waters near the polar regions results in challenging propeller designs. it is an interesting trade-off of the highest possible strength versus the highest possible propeller efficiency, versus the lowest possible cost of manufacturing.

Facing Harsh Conditions

SHIP DESIGN & CONSTR UCTION

every propeller system is possible, such as fixed pitch monoblock, built-up propellers and cpp hubs and blades. traditionally, propellers are made of various bronze-alloys, used for their good corrosion resistance, easy manufacture and reasonable material properties. these material properties are, however, no longer good enough when sailing through ice. they are either simply not strong enough for the harsh conditions or have to be very crude and thick . the solution for this is the use of high-grade stainless steel instead of bronze-alloys. although more expensive to manufacture due to the increased material properties, the cost of the material itself is cheaper than bronze. depending on which kind of stainless steel is selected, its strength can be more than twice as high as the bronzealloys, likewise its resistance to wear and tear. this will allow for a more efficient propeller design and lower maintenance costs, reducing the total cost of ownership significantly.

Engineering Freedom

a common rule of thumb is that starting with ice-classes equivalent to the finnishswedish ice-class 1A and up, the need for a stronger material than bronze becomes necessary. otherwise the required thickness of the propeller blade profile will mean a substantial deviation from its optimum shape. But when ultimate optimisation is needed and even the smallest efficiency gains are profitable, high-quality stainless steel can also make the difference. this is because, although the extra fuel efficiency is only 0.5%, the lower maintenance intervals required can result in an easy return on investment. to illustrate the effect of material choice on the propeller blade thickness, a typical nonice-class propeller of about Ă&#x2DC;3,500mm is used. the difference in thickness between an niAl bronze propeller and a high martensitic stainless steel grade can be more than 12.5%. this is a significant reduction in thickness, resulting in a less heavy propeller. Furthermore, the propeller is able to operate more efficiently because of its more slender profiles. in addition to this, the propeller designer has more engineering freedom to modify the blade profile in order to decrease cavitation.

www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

Van Voorden.indd 41

combined with less thickness on the tip of the propeller with the ensuing reduction in pressure pulses, a stainless steel propeller will increase comfort on board as well.

No Room for Failure

When Van Voorden castings is asked to design and produce a built-up propeller for the extreme ice-class vessels such as icebreakers, stainless steel is a logical choice. the strength of the material is needed not only so that the blades can withstand the powerful hits by ice-blocks, but also for the blade feet. there cannot be any weakness where the blades connect to the hub and using the right material and design ensures this. As shown, by using the appropriate stainless

steel to produce propellers, as opposed to the more commonly used bronze, efficiency can be improved and there is a reduction in the total cost of ownership across a broad spectrum of vessels. although production costs are higher, the benefits and savings due to the higher strength and resistance to wear and tear can recoup these costs in a short time. With the continuous drive towards more efficient sailing in harsher conditions, Van Voorden castings sees a bright future for the use of stainless steel propellers. they will continue to research and optimise the benefits to make sure this future only gets brighter. i. www.vanvoordencastings.com

Four huge load cells are fixed on each machine; while the boat was docked in Blyth, UK, however, the straightpoint unit and digital handheld display were used as calibration tools. Hayden Rouse, Managing Director of Northern Balance, says: “The ability to monitor the load cell at a safe distance was a major advantage. With the massive forces involved, the potential for something snapping and causing injury is always present and we have to be constantly mindful of the inherent hazards associated with such work.” mr rouse provided weighing expertise and was working alongside a team of fitters and welders, a marine architect and draftsman.

and quality improvement. The ship embodies the latest technology for reducing emissions. with regard to propulsion, it was very important to choose environmentally friendly and reliable engines.”

Technological Development

The 135.40m-long Texelstroom is equipped with the newest technological developments and innovations such as a T-shaped cross-section which ensures a car capacity improvement of 14% and cng/diesel hybrid propulsion which makes the ship more cost-efficient and thus more environmentally friendly. anglo belgian corporation supplied the four main engines, including two dual fuel (cng + diesel) generators that provide 2mw each at 1,000rpm and two diesel generators, each providing 2mw at 750rpm. for the dual fuel engines, an air/gas mixture is injected

www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

Texelstroom.indd 45

into the cylinders and then compressed. a small pilot injection of diesel ensures ignition. natural gas (cng) is more environmentally friendly and has the great advantage that hardly any soot or sulphur dioxide is released during combustion. combining cng and battery-power is innovative and has never before been done on this scale. This combination contributes to a clean, fuel-efficient and thus cost-efficient cross-over by applying ‘peak shaving’ at its best. The use of natural gas results in a 20% reduction of co2 emission and soot emissions will now be a thing of the past (100% reduction). The intended outcome is a reduction in fuel consumption resulting in lower fuel costs, which will not only minimise the impact on the environment but also ensure affordable prices for those travelling on the Texelstroom.

Water-Backed Welding Procedure

Circumventing

the Dry Dock Whittaker engineering has develoPed a unique Water-Backed Welding Procedure for vessels, Which can save companies millions by circumventing dry docking and the associated loss of production.

raditional welding methods used for the design and manufacture of fPus (floating Production units) and oil rigs do not take into account the cooling effects of seawater. Whittaker engineering’s procedure uses high-powered induction heating coils to maintain a preheat temperature whilst welding water-backed plate, mitigating the loss of heat through the ship’s hull into the cold temperature of the sea. this procedure was successfully deployed by enquest on the northern Producer fPu during routine work. greig ritchie, operations Manager for the northern Producer, says: “this is a truly noteworthy welding development that has helped enquest carry out work in the most efficient way. the procedure enables in-situ modifications and repairs and avoids unnecessary and inefficient dry dock periods. it has significant potential for operators of vessels both in the north sea and elsewhere.”

One and Only

the resultant weld with the induction heater is ductile, low in hardness and has proved as high in quality as if it were performed without the surrounding water. the same technique can be applied to corrosion and pitting in the hull. Whittaker believes it is the only company in the world currently offering this procedure with full lloyd’s register classification. induction heating involves huge currents surging back and forth through induction coils to generate high temperatures. cooling water and electricity flow through the coils

from the power supply on deck and are routed to the welding location. the power supply for the inductors has a maximum range of 75m from the power source on deck to the welding repair area.

Strong and Reliable

the presence of seawater on the outside of a hull structure greatly increases the rate of weld metal cooling. fast cooling rates can produce hard martensitic structures in basic carbon steels which in turn can lead to cracking. furthermore, the cold seawater encourages condensation at the weld site, which further increases the risk of hydrogen cracking. conventional ceramic electric heating pads do not supply sufficient heat (typically a maximum of 30°c) to combat the cooling effect of the seawater. however, with a sufficiently powerful induction heater, Whittaker can achieve a constant preheat of 75°c to 100°c with seawater at 5°c (normal north sea temperature). ken Whittaker of Whittaker engineering says: “Many oil and gas vessels are expected to be at sea for 15 years or more. By carrying out the work offshore, we can potentially save companies millions of pounds by avoiding dry docking and loss of production through downtime. this is our fourth deployment and each one has been successful. independent testing has also proved that our water-backed welds with induction heating are at least as strong and reliable as those carried out in a shipyard in the dry.” i. www.whittakereng.com

pioneering surfaCe design

Putting Ideas into Motion SpecialiSt aluminium boat builder, aluminium marine Consultants (aMC), has added a new surfaCe effeCt ship (ses) design to its portfolio which is geared towards the crew transfer vessel market and designed by norway’s espeland and skomedal naval architects (eSna).

he new esna tern ses CtV is a next generation high-performance crew transfer vessel, offering turbine access in up to 2.5m significant wave height, with a maximum speed above 40 knots and greatly reduced speed loss in high seas. rob stewart, Commercial director of aMC, says: “this vessel is unique in the qualities that it offers and we’re very excited to be working with esna. this new design will enhance the aMC portfolio and help innovate the crew transfer vessel market.”

About

Vessel Vertical Motions

aluminium Marine Consultants is one of a number of aluminium boat builders from the uK providing innovative and original, bespoke solutions to vessel construction and design. aMC specialises in the design and construction of aluminium alloy workboats for a wide range of applications, including the offshore crew transfer sector. established in 2007, it has now built over 45 vessels. esna is an independent ship design company for high-speed vessels. it specialises in air-cushioned ses vessels and operates at the crossroad between advanced military/commercial high speed craft technology and the offshore renewable energy and maritime operations market.

The Tern is equipped with a computercontrolled active motion damping system.

hulls closed with flexible reinforced rubber fingers in the bow and an inflated rubber bag in the stern. this allows centrifugal fans to blow air into the enclosed space, providing an air cushion that lifts up to 80% of the vessel weight. in fact, the vessel can be raised and lowered by approximately 2m, which means it is able to cancel up to the same height of vessel motion in waves. this is especially effective in long waves/swell, where all other vessel types float and follow the wave surface. the remaining 20% of the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight is supported by side hull buoyancy, which allows for high vessel speed because frictional resistance is decreased. the tern is

www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

Aluminium Marine.indd 55

equipped with a computer-controlled active motion damping system which reduces vertical motion both at high and low vessel speeds, thus reducing seasickness. as the lift fans supply air to the air cushion, the control system actively controls vent valves, either ventilating the air cushion to a low pressure or closing the valves so that the air cushion pressure is increased.

The vessel can be raised and lowered by approximately 2m.

inn wollesen, Managing director of Knud e. hansen says: “ShipSpace is a cutting edge tool that our engineers and our partners can use to design better ships, faster. Knud e. hansen has been an innovator in ship design since 1937 and ShipSpace is another step forward for us.” the firm points out that this early ‘virtual’ access to the vessel reduces the risks within innovation and complexity, since many

You can walk anywhere, crouch down to look underneath, poke your head around a corner, it’s just like you are actually there. ideas can be tested without cutting steel or incurring huge expense to build expensive mock-ups. “a design idea can be drawn out quickly in cad, then an engineer can jump into ShipSpace to see how it works; are the sight lines okay? is there enough access space? how does this odd shape space actually look? when you see it in ShipSpace, you instantly know the answer because it’s just like seeing it in real life. you’re right there, you see it and you can understand the scale,” adds robert J Spencer, head of Simulation products. “even the engineers who design

www.s h i p b u i l d i n g -industr y.eu

Knud E Hansen.indd 57

the ships are constantly saying things like ‘wow this space is really big!’ and ‘i didn’t know it looked like that!’”

Walking Through Drafts

ShipSpace has proven to be an excellent tool for communicating and developing designs and ideas, by enabling stakeholders to walk around the vessel while it is still on the drawing board. Mr Spencer continues: “we had the captain of a new ship that is still in development – it won’t be entering service for years yet – look at a draft layout

of the bridge in ShipSpace and within seconds of putting the headset on, he was giving useful feedback on the design.” perhaps this is the most valuable aspect of ShipSpace; allowing experts that are not used to visualising plan drawings to give very high quality feedback on a proposed design and eliminating the rework or compromised functionality that seems inevitable with traditional workflows. not only does it look like an exciting new tool but it fits perfectly into existing workflows as well, as Mr Spencer points out. “we have specifically engineered ShipSpace to use exiting 3d models and cad drawings. we think that to properly use Vr, it will become an integral part of the design process and we don’t think designers should have to waste time creating special cut-down ‘Vr versions’ of their models. our cloud-based import processor can import files with almost any level of complexity and our rendering system can then faithfully render them in real time.” with the high frame rates required for an immersive Vr experience, it is quite remarkable that ShipSpace can deal with the complexity of a fullydetailed ship model. this is not pre-canned animation either. “ShipSpace provides full flexibility of movement;

we have worked hard on the locomotion system. you can walk anywhere, crouch down to look underneath, poke your head around a corner, it’s just like you are actually there.”

Ease of Use

everyone who has experienced ShipSpace is amazed by just how realistic the virtual environment is. occasionally it can be too real, with people trying to lean on handrails or sit on chairs that only exist in the virtual world. “the biggest way that it differs from real life is that we also have teleportation, so you can quickly and easily move around even the largest vessel without getting tired. it’s so easy and feels so natural, that if you could move this way in real life you would.” the high quality and ease of use makes ShipSpace incredibly valuable in client liaison too. as a sales tool, you really can’t beat putting a prospective owner on the bridge of their new ship, and with ShipSpace your sales staff can do that during the concept design phase, or in an office building anywhere in the world. the potential uses for ShipSpace are quite remarkable and it will be very interesting to see how the industry changes with this new technology. i. www.knudehansen.com

Cost Effective Ballast Water Compliance Tool The Ballast-Check 2 PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulated) Fluorometer from Turner Designs USA is now available worldwide as a result of a new partnership with Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS). This hand-held device – already in use by authorities round the globe to test water quality – enables crew to monitor treated ballast water and check that it complies with the D2 standard of the IMO’s Ballast Water Management (BMW) Convention. The use of fluorometry means that no chemicals are involved; it works by measuring fluorescence emitted by algae in the 10um to 50um size range. Furthermore, results are seen in less than a minute, offering ship owners and operators a fast way of checking how efficient their ballast water treatment systems are. The system is on course for BMW Convention ratification and gives WSS a head start in the compliance testing industry. i. www.wilhelmsen.com

Retrofit Scrubber Solutions Damen Shipyards Group and AEC Maritime have joined forces to offer ship owners a one-stop-shop including efficient, lowmaintenance and IMO-certified exhaust gas scrubber technology. AEC scrubbers remove more than 98% of sulphur from exhaust gases; more, therefore, than the amount set by IMO requirements. The scrubbers can be installed on all types of engine and allow vessels to run on traditional Heavy Fuel Oil instead of the more expensive Marine Gas Oil. AEC Maritime uses the same key ideas for the maritime sector as their sister company does for land-based products, focussing on three principles: making scrubber installation simple, optimising the price of the product with the cost of installation, and delivering reliable and lowmaintenance systems. i. www.damen.com

SBI OUTFITTERS PAGES High Speed Mobile Network for Coastal Areas Shipnetz, a high-speed mobile network service for merchant shipping, is an innovative development resulting from a partnership between bobz and Radio Holland (Rotterdam). The service operates a worldwide monthly flat rate, available in shoreline and harbour districts, without additional roaming costs. Shipnetz customers can switch from satellite communication to the mobile network within 30km of the coast, providing them with a more cost-effective, high-speed data connection. Shipznet is also an effective stand-alone solution for near-coast sailing. i. www.radioholland.com

Wind-Assisted Propulsion Freighter The Switlijnk Dutch shipping family has contracted C-Job Naval Architects to design a tailor-made Rotor Sail vessel to fit their shipping and loading profile. The result is the 131m Flettner Freighter, an 8,000t, dry-cargo vessel with a sailing profile based on the MS Estraden car carrier. In keeping with their future-proof philosophy of sustainable development Switlijnk are examining alternative fuel sources, such as biofuels; couple with this, they are making use of the ‘hybrid wind-assisted shipping’ concept: in a nutshell, Rotor Sail’s vertically rotating cylinders make use of the ‘Magnus effect’, converting crosswinds into forward thrust and thus reducing energy costs and greenhouse emissions. This is the first time the combination of modern Rotor Sails, a C-Job-optimised hull and alternative fuels has been applied within the commercial shipping market. i. www.c-job.eu

Torque Measuring System Targets Engine Optimisation TSHP Underwater Pump-Unit Upgrade Royal IHC has supplied Van Oord with a complete engineering package to accommodate the upgrade of the underwater pump and jet water system on their trailing suction hopper dredger Volvox Terranova. The hull had to be repaired and modified in order to install the 1,700mW jet pump unit and frequency drive of the new submerged dredge pump unit. The complete suction tube was modified and the underwater pump unit was redesigned in order to accommodate a new 6MW submersible pump unit and a new IHC high-efficiency dredge pump with Curve technology. As a result of the successful and well-organised upgrade, the vessel now operates more efficiently and has improved dredging capabilities. i. www.royalihc.com

The Torductor Marine is a new torque monitoring system from ABB. With the aim of optimising engine and fuel efficiency in the maritime sector, the system’s sensors track the performance of a vessel’s engine, making data visually available to the onboard crew, who can then share it with the ship’s shore-side support team. Practically maintenance-free, the Torductor Marine provides ship-owners with a quantifiable insight into propulsion power, Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC), total number of shaft revolutions and the total amount of energy developed during a voyage. Trials of the Torductor Marine systems were conducted on the portside propeller shaft of Stena Line’s freight ferry, the Stena Scotia, and were so successful that they are now being installed permanently on both the port and starboard shafts. i. www.abb.com

20th Anniversary of the MTU Series 4000 Since the launch of its Series 4000 engine at the 1996 SMM show 20 years ago, RollsRoyce have sold more than 37,000 of them worldwide. This translates into an incredible 180 million operating hours. Ten years ahead of their time, the MTU Series 4000 engines were the first of their kind to be fitted with common rail injection; 20 years later they continue to maintain their spearhead reputation. The Series 4000 engines were the logical follow-up to the MTU Series 396 engine, with a basic design resulting in an exceptional power-to-weight ratio and compact dimensions. The advanced design Series 4000 diesel engine and the new gas engine for marine applications, which is also based on the Series 4000 engine, are the leading technologies in the marketplace. i. www.rrpowersytems.com
