Editor’s note

About Digital Buccaneers 2017 wIll be comIng to an end by the tIme you read thIs edItIon of shIpbuIldIng Industry. when lookIng through the Issues publIshed oVer the past twelVe months, It Is eVIdent that the Industry has been undergoIng an eVentful year. of course, the shipbuilding sector is still very vulnerable, but this doesn’t mean that there were no new vessels launched this year, and for the upcoming year there are also several projects underway. what can be concluded from this year is that things are changing in shipbuilding. builders and owners are searching for more environmentally friendly propulsions. big data, Ict and the Internet of things are already playing an important role and it is inevitable that they will become increasingly important in many ways. maintenance will be more data-driven and vessels will become progressively more autonomous. these innovations will lead to higher efficiency and lower costs. they will require people with new skills, asking for new training and new educational programmes. these digital developments are also leading to a new kind of threat. piracy has always been a hazard, but it looks like the years where traditional pirates attacked and seized vessels are almost over. today, the biggest danger comes from digital buccaneers entering systems and taking over vessels virtually, without being on board themselves, or indeed even in the vicinity. at this year’s europort exhibition, a lot of attention was given to these changes. you can read about it in this edition of shipbuilding Industry, together with many more interesting and readworthy topics. for next year, we have already made our preparations to write about many inspiring issues. we look forward to presenting them to you in 2018. arno dirkzwager | editor arno@ynfpublishers.com

news in brief Wagenborg Shipping Wins ‘KVNR Shipping Award’ With Easymax Wagenborg Shipping has won the KVNR Shipping Award 2017 with the new, ‘EasyMax’ type sustainable cargo ship Egbert Wagenborg. The EasyMax makes use of the art of omission. With only essential ship equipment, an impressive load capacity of 14,300t and a storage capacity of over 17,000m3, it has broken all records of similar ships ever built in the northern Netherlands. Its optimal hull shape results in a fuel consumption of only 9 tonnes per day at 11 knots; its network enables most systems to be accessible from various places on board, and systems can be accessed from shore for diagnostics or in case of malfunction. This results in lower maintenance costs, minimal downtime and a more reliable service. The KVNR Shipping Award is intended to promote even more awareness among shipping companies for further greening, more safety, higher efficiency and more highly skilled crews. With EasyMax, Wagenborg has introduced the new standard for sustainable business in the Dutch shipping industry.

news in brief FarSounder Sonar on New Hapag-Lloyd Expedition Ships The Germany-based, luxury cruise operator, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is installing the FarSounder-1000 on its two new expedition-class ships. This is FarSounder’s longest-range 3D Forward Looking Sonar.

This unique sonar will provide real-time data on what lies ahead of the ships as they explore, with both vessels and passengers enjoying a heightened level of security when traveling into unknown waters. The two state-of-the-art sibling ships – HANSEATIC inspiration and HANSEATIC nature – are equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology and are set to sail the Arctic in the summer and take expeditions into the Antarctic in the winter In addition, both ships will spend time exploring some more unconventional destinations including the Amazon, the Chilean fjords, the Azores and Cape Verde. With a FarSounder-1000 leading the way, they will be able to manoeuvre through the water and see hazards as they approach, including icebergs and coral reefs.

Ninth Major Industry Award for Hullwiper HullWiper’s brush- and diver-free hull cleaning system has won its ninth major industry accolade – the Green Shipping Award at the Seatrade Maritime Awards Middle East, Indian Subcontinent & Africa 2017. HullWiper was recognised for developing the most environmentally responsive maritime and shipping solution for hull cleans. Launched in Dubai in December 2013, the diver and brush-free Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) delivers a foul-free hull with little or no down-time, whilst preserving both the delicate marine ecosystem and human life. It uses water jets to remove fouling rather than brushes or other abrasives, which can damage expensive coatings, and collects debris from the operation for environmentally approved disposal on land, thus reducing the risk of cross-pollination of waters with alien species.

Wilson Sons Shipyard Delivers SST-Aruá to SAAM SMIT The SST-Aruá is the second of four tugboats to be delivered to SAAM SMIT Towage Brazil by Wilson Sons Shipyard, part of the Wilson Sons Group. From the moment of signing the contract, it took just over eighteen months to deliver the second tugboat. The SST-Aruá was built in Guarujá, Spain. It is 24m in length, has an11m beam and a bollard pull of 71t.

The project was designed by Damen Shipyards.

Wilson Sons Shipyard has another four tugboats in their order book for delivery up to 2019, comprising two tugboats for SAAM SMIT and another two for Wilson Sons Rebocadores.

news in brief Christening of the 25m Swath@A&R Pilot Tenders Houston and Bayou City Recently the next two 25m SWATH@A&R pilot tenders for Houston Pilots were christened in Texas, USA. They will replace their predecessors of the same names.

These vessels perform their duties in a tough workboat application all year round - under all weather conditions. The shipyard built the first vessel in less than eighteen months, followed only ten weeks later by her sister ship.

The two identical newbuilds have an overall length of 25.56m with a 13m beam and 2.7m draught. Each vessel offers ten relax rooms, a large mess room with separate TV corner and, for the first time, an extended wheelhouse with ergonomic consoles and an annexed waiting zone for four pilots. The propulsion plant consists of two diesel engines type MAN D2862 LE 44 driving two fixed pitch propellers via Reintjes gearboxes. The maximum speed is reached at 19.5kts and the endurance at economic speed is 1,000nm.

EIVA Introduces Deep Learning Features for Data Processing

In order to address deep learning and the possibilities this technology brings, EIVA has established a dedicated software development team. The team consists of engineers specialising in machine learning, machine vision and deep learning.

One of the results of the team’s efforts is NaviSuite Deep Learning, which is a new product, able to perform two tasks: – Classification: Identifying what is in a data set.

– Segmentation: Marking where the identified objects are in the data set.

Deep learning technology makes it possible to let software automatically recognise and localise objects in various types of data. Companies specialising in areas such as pipeline inspections, habitat mapping or UXO detection can save countless hours of manual work by making use of this technology.

Royal IHC Acquires 50% Stake in Rotterdam Offshore Group Royal IHC has announced its acquisition of 50% of the share capital of Rotterdam Offshore Group (ROG). The agreement will enable IHC to strengthen its ship repair and conversion capabilities with the addition of a dedicated facility in Rotterdam, which has uninterrupted access to open sea.

Royal IHC has a strong track record in designing and building vessels and equipment for the dredging, mining and offshore markets, and managing major renovations and ship repair projects all over the world. By joining forces with ROG and using its dedicated facilities, Royal IHC will be able to further expand its services for complex renovations and conversions. The partnership enables ROG to offer its customers in the repair and maintenance sector access to the engineering, fabrication and mission equipment capabilities of Royal IHC. The complementary competences of both companies result in full packages for conversions, (de-)mobilisations, and maintenance and repair for the whole spectrum of offshore, dredging and maritime vessels and equipment.

he global-order backlog has been diminishing rapidly. by the end of 2016, it had dropped to less than 50% of the 2008 figure. Germany’s shipbuilding industry was hit hard. the crisis virtually ended its major market segment: container-shipbuilding. however, by focusing on highly complex niche markets, the country has now been enjoying a growth in its order books for six consecutive years. time to take a closer look at some of the links in Germany’s shipbuilding value chain.

Cooperation is Key

although German suppliers have been able to absorb the last years of the crisis fairly well thanks to the existing order backlog, the first signs are now showing that the crisis has finally reached them. the strategies that suppliers have set up to weather the crisis stretch from focusing on the domestic european yacht, cruise ship and naval market to strengthening refit, retrofit and service activities and taking measures to unlock new markets through diversification. the German value chain zigzags through a unique landscape of 2,800 companies, many of which are concerned exclusively with the maritime industry. Some even focus solely

on a particular type of ship, such as yachts or cruise ships, while others make use of their technical competence from other, compatible branches such as mining, energy industries or environmental engineering, and adapt their products to the special requirements of the maritime or offshore industries. the importance of a well-functioning value chain for the successful completion of a shipbuilding project is most visible in the leading segment of ship building: the construction of cruise ships. because of the complexity of these sailing cities with their extremely limited space, clarity regarding the interfaces between the various parties involved is essential; and there are many parties involved. the amount of supplies or services that are delivered by third parties can be as high as 80% when it comes to specialised vessels such as cruise ships. in comparison, a cargo ship generally has 20% -30% of supplies and services delivered from specialised suppliers. because of the high amount of external supplies, cruise shipbuilding requires minute planning from the start. every alteration, whether it is at the customer’s request or because of regulations or technical findings, causes a

domino-effect through half the ship. to master this within the planned time and cost frame, the parties involved, such as shipyards, suppliers, design firms and classification organisations, need to cooperate closely, expertly and systematically. the Malayan cruise ship company Genting were aware that this cooperation functions exceptionally well in Germany. When they bought MV Werften, they also ensured the continued use of its entire supply and service chain.

Export Champions

apart from building ships for the German navy, German authorities and a few for German shipping companies, the large majority are built for foreign buyers. With an export share of around 75%, most suppliers deliver directly to shipyards in foreign countries, mainly the Far east. Of the percentage left over, yachts, ferries, cruise ships or naval vessels built for foreign

1 2 | S B I 2 0 1 7 | Volum e 11 | Issue 6

buyers at German shipyards also effectively end up as export. because of this, the German maritime industry plays a big role in Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title of worldwide export champion. during the past year, the German Federal Statistic Office has recorded around 60 shipyards with 50 employees or more, a number with has remained more or less constant. With a combined workforce of some 17,700, these shipyards generate a turnover of more than eur 5.4 million, of which 67% is export.

While shipyards present resilient numbers, the supply industry fails to deliver similar statistics for quantifiable economic output. the fact that many companies are also involved in other branches plays a large part, as does the fact that products are becoming ever more international. also, although not as strongly as in previous times, the consolidation processes have

continued into 2016 and brought German maritime suppliers new foreign holding companies or subsidiaries. due to the strong supply of German products to the Far east shipbuilding industry, many German suppliers have also established their own subsidiaries, joint ventures or licensees in the Far east for their products. this makes it hard to define the German value-added share of a product, let alone statistically capture the number or worth of German export products in the maritime supply industry. determining the number of employees in the maritime supply sector is equally difficult; an estimated number of around 200,000 workers has to suffice.

Navy Shipbuilding

the German naval shipbuilding industry contributes approximately one quarter of the total turnover to the German shipbuilding industry. On the long-term average, the turnover during the reporting

period was once again well over one billion euros. this included newbuilds, maintenance, overhaul and supply logistics. the German naval shipbuilding industry delivers innovative and competitive solutions for both the German navy and international customers, who attach particular importance to the very high quality and extraordinary systems expertise. the product portfolio is mainly aimed at the requirements of the German navy and comprises submarines, corvettes, frigates, patrol vessels, mine-sweepers, support and supply ships, individual components and complete subsystems.

Civil Shipbuilding

about half of the 40 German shipyards dedicated to seagoing vessels in the international arena are active in the domain of merchant shipbuilding. apart from a few corporate subsidiaries, most shipyards are characterised as middle-sized, often longterm oriented family businesses. in the years since the scientific and financial crisis of 2008, both the industry structure and the product range of German shipbuilding have clearly altered. From a series of consolidation procedures, eight shipyard groups with around 25 companies in the newbuild and

repair sectors have emerged. particularly remarkable are the investments of foreign firms in German maritime businesses. above all, the product portfolio of German merchant shipbuilders contains market segments in passenger ships, yachts and special-purpose vessels such as special operations vessels (SOVs) and platform supply vessels (pSVs) for the offshore industry. in these segments, challenging operational requirements demand individual solution concepts, which often result in one-off productions. in close cooperation with customers, the scientific and technological optimisation of ships (and their production processes) is implemented in newbuild development, with research, development and innovation efforts focused on specific operational requirements. high-energy efficiency and environmentally friendly emission reductions especially are taken into account. the most modern, cost-efficient concepts and innovative components are offered to shipping companies for the total life span of the ship, ensuring the ability to compete in the market.

T

he question remains, is experience all you need for M&R, or do you need a proper M&R education as well? Knowledge and experience go hand in hand, and ideally, M&R personnel are properly educated and have lots of experience. Without one or the other, performance is not as effective. Think of high-quality products used erroneously, poor pre-treatment methods and incorrect use of 1K and 2K coatings, for example.

A small mistake can get very expensive in the end.

stretching over several days as well as unnecessary loss of time and money. Paintinspector.com’s Managing Director Richard van der Wal emphasises the importance of teaching M&R personnel technical subjects.

Its approach will save most businesses a fair amount of money. “In the last 20 years, I have seen many mistakes made during ship maintenance and repair that have ultimately cost the owners a lot of money,” he says.

The online course e-WAALS offers eleven chapters and 60 studying hours in which owner and employees will gain essential paint-related M&R insight and knowledge.

his year, the exhibition set its focus on three core themes; Big Data, the Environmental Age and the Human Factor.

The 2017 themes were explored by both current and future maritime leaders together with experts from other industries at the energetic opening ceremony, which set the tempo for the week ahead and gave

a fresh perspective to the challenges that the industry faces.

Provoking Interest

This year’s ‘Young Maritime Representatives’, Desiree Raaijman and Peter Paul van Voorst, kicked off proceedings with presenter Geert Maarse

EUROPORT 2017 by video blogging (vlogging) live from the stage, with the purpose of engaging young people and provoking interest in being part of the maritime industry and in the changes that are coming.

Giving an insight into the use of big data in the sporting industry, Olympic volleyball champion Peter Blangé cited close similarities between maintaining vessel and crew performance in the maritime industry and data analysis for sport performance improvement. Then, navigating the impact of the dark side of climate change on the maritime industry – particularly rising sea levels – RTL Television weather anchor and climatologist Reinier van den Berg illustrated the monumental importance of the industry adapting its operations to the environmental age. He closed by telling companies attending Europort to ‘out-green their competitors’ as a future-proofing strategy.

In Unison Onstage

Maritime ‘Captains of Industry’ Karin van Orsel, Co-Chair of the Royal Dutch Shipowners Association (KVNR), Vice Chairman International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), President of Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA); Kees Jan Mes, Vice Chairman SEA Europe, Managing Director Pon Power NL; Albrecht Grell, Executive Vice President DNV GL and Astrid Kee, Member of Executive Board STC Group, Chairman NML Human Capital Council joined each other on stage, sharing their individual visions concerning the advance of the global maritime industry and debating sustainability, the evolution of digitalisation and the future role of the seafarer.

“Without sustainability, the industry will not survive”, stated Karin van Orsel, when asked about the industry’s responsibility and green strategy. Sharing her experience, Astrid Kee spoke of the role of human capital in the changing digital maritime sector. Kees Jan Mes shared his view on digitalisation and that it is very important how the industry converts digital information and technology into something meaningful for the maritime world. Albrecht Grell stated, “If the maritime industry is not at the forefront of technology, the next generation will not be there – the industry will not be interesting enough for them.”

On the Exhibition Floor

Embracing change in the face of the environmental age, big data applications and human-factor shifts as an intrinsic part of commercial success were strong themes to emerge from the industry leaders speaking at the opening ceremony. On the exhibition floor, many companies showed that they understand the concerns expressed on stage incorporating the three Europort themes in search of a prosperous future. Anglo Belgian Corporation, for instance, received the Bureau Veritas approval and notations for its hybrid solutions. RH Marine introduced the next generation of Alarm, Monitoring and Control Systems (AMCS) and Pon Maritime companies Bakker Sliedrecht, Pon Power Bolier and EST-Floattech joined forces to introduce their new Marine Hybrid Solutions. i. www.europort.nl

THE STINGRAY SSV’S ARE A SERIES OF FOUR HIGHLY VERSATILE VESSELS. THE KEEL-LAYING CEREMONY FOR ALL FOUR STINGRAYS TOOK PLACE ON 9 December 2015. The first Stingray, Maersk Installer, was delivered on 16 October 2017. The other SSVs in the series are scheduled for delivery within the next year.

The first of the four Stingray vessels, the Maersk Installer, underway.

E

arlier this year, Maersk Supply Service secured a long-term contract for the first Stingray vessel with Subtec S.A de C.V. of Mexico, a subsidiary of Blue Marine Group.

The SSV will be operating in the Bay of Campeche, performing general support duties for Blue Marine and their clients, including IRM, and maintenance of Pemex’s platforms as well as enhancement and well stimulation. The contract will commence in autumn 2018 with a firm duration until June 2020.

A Stable Platform for Challenging Offshore Operations With a growing need in the offshore industry for subsea work in increasingly deep waters, the four new SSV’s from Maersk Supply Service are rated for advanced operations in water depths of up to 3,000m. The versatile vessels provide a flexible platform for challenging offshore operations in rough weather and deep water.

The 138m-long Stingrays, with a 27m beam, are of MT6027 Marin Teknikk-design. These DP3 vessels feature a Huisman 400t active heave-compensated, energy-efficient crane and two work class ROV’s, capable of operating in a water depth of up to 3,000m.

The 1,925m2 free deck area is optimised for the installation of equipment and cargo – such as a vertical lay system, carousels, tensioners, product reels and firing lines for both pipe-lay and well-intervention equipment – and uniquely designed with hundreds of non-welding, sea fastening features with cofferdams built in above all tanks to ensure efficiency and flexibility for client operations. The Stingrays have been fitted with an enlarged moon pool, enabling more complex operations. A unique void

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

Maersk Stingray def.indd 19

space under the main deck allows for efficiency in the preparation of operations, during operations and in re-installations after operations. The void space provides easy access to the under-deck structure without damaging underlying tanks or equipment and thus especially minimises mobilisation and demobilisation costs. The accommodation features 120 modern single cabins, designed to meet increased comfort level requirements.

The Stingrays rely on full diesel electric propulsion. Fixed pitch thrusters and main propellers enable the vessels to operate not only in DP2 but also DP3 mode under all circumstances, always creating the required thrust and without idle loss. Using fixed pitch propellers and frequency drives only and applying hull treatment minimises energy consumption, enabling fuel savings.

The vessels are equipped with a welldeveloped back-up system, making safe operation possible under extreme conditions and in rough weather. The vessels have ERN: 4x99, the highest grading.

Maximum noise and vibration reduction levels comply with COMF-V(2) and C(2) requirements.

Enabling Complex Operations The 400t rope luffing knuckle boom crane will improve offshore operations by reducing unscheduled downtime. The fully heavecompensated crane combines the advantages of a regular knuckle boom crane with the advantages of a traditional fixed boom crane. The crane is based on key technology and fully electrically driven with frequency-controlled drives. It therefore uses fewer components than hydraulically driven cranes. Due to separate systems, the electrically driven crane – contrary to a hydraulic crane – can operate even if half of

SHIP REPORT

“Maersk Supply Service’s new Stingray subsea support vessels are built to carry out a wide range of deep and shallow water operations in challenging offshore environments. The vessels have flexible features with a large free deck, a 400t crane and 120 modern single-cabins. The key philosophy behind the design and features of the Stingrays is to be able to adapt to many of our customers’ diverse needs. This also means that the vessels have been designed with energy efficiency as a key design parameter, keeping the fuel consumption at a very low level. The four Stingray new-buildings will be a crucial part of Maersk Supply Service’s future fleet, allowing us to offer a broader scope of services to our customers.” – Carsten Gran Haagensen, Chief Commercial Officer at Maersk Supply Service.

the equipment is damaged. This reduces the amount of maintenance required, is less energy-consuming and creates a higher reliability level and increased uptime.

Furthermore, there are dual chairs in the operator shack, enabling on-the-spot training and sensitive lift supervision.

The enlarged moon pool, measuring 8.4m x 8.4m, is installed in the centreline of the vessel, making it accessible from the main deck. This offers the possibility of deploying large objects through the moon pool and thus in a protected environment under harsh weather conditions, maximising uptime. Easier maintenance and more reliable operation under rough weather is assisted further by a splash damping system which reduces wave and water splash during operation. It is also possible to install a top and bottom hatch, that can keep the moon pool dry during vessel transit and when it is not being used. Various arrangements can be made to perform lifts through the moon pool, both with the vessel’s 400t crane and its 100t crane.

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

Maersk Stingray def.indd 21

A second 4.8m x 4.8m moon pool, also equipped with a splash damping system, is installed in the vessel’s ROV garage to enable operation in a protected environment. In addition, a second ROV can be launched over the ship’s side.

All major equipment, such as the primary hoist winches and the slew drives, is installed inside a closed crane house or below deck where it is protected from the marine environment.

To meet changing markets without expensive reconstruction, the vessels were designed for flexibility. The Stingrays are prepared for a 275t vertical lay tower (VLT), for the deployment of flexible pipe or module handling, as well as for a 3,000t under-deck carousel and flexible pipe laying over the vessel’s side.

The Huisman 400t fully heave-compensated crane combines the advantages of a regular knuckle boom crane with the advantages of a traditional fixed-boom crane.

Aoka Mizu’s moon pool.

Moon Pool Closure

The 89,184dwt, 248m-long FPSO Aoka Mizu (Japanese for Bluewater), which is owned and operated by Bluewater Energy Services, has recently been assigned a new contract.

She will be utilised for the early production system phase of the development of Hurricane’s offshore field in the North Sea. The contract for the upgrade of the 30,000bpd Aoka Mizu was awarded to Dubai’s Drydocks World and the vessel needed to be towed from Gdansk, in Poland, where she was in lay-up, to Dubai.

During this passage, high sea conditions were experienced and that is why the turret moon pool on-board had to be closed off.

Two Weeks’ Work

Rotterdam’s ROG Ship Repair was awarded the fabrication and installation of the moon pool cover with delivery required at very short notice. At their workshops in Waalhaven, it took ROG just two weeks, working around the clock, to fabricate this steel structure according the highest quality standards. After fabrication, the cover was transported to Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, where it was positioned and coordinated on the seabed, ready and waiting for the arrival of Aoka Mizu. When the FPSO arrived, under tow, she was moored in a position

precisely above the cover. ROG then came on-board to mount the hoisting arrangements.

A Controlled Lift

Before lifting the cover onto the Aoka Mizu, air pressure hoses where connected underneath the cover to ensure that it was not sucked onto the seabed. Divers connected the cover to the hoist and ROG began the controlled lift, which hoisted the moon pool cover into the correct position.

Once in position, sea-fastenings were installed and secured. The job was successfully completed within the contracted time-frame following the highest safety standards.

ROG Ship Repair

ROG Ship Repair has open sea accessibility and is strategically located in the main port of Rotterdam with ISPS certification.

Alongside the jetties there are lay-by facilities for (marine, sea-going and jack-up) vessels up to 320m in length, a breadth of 60m and a draught of 9.5m. ROG offers heavy-lift crane capacity and a large yard area of more than 21,000m2 with a fully equipped workshop. i. www.rogshiprepair.com The Aoka Mizu moon pool cover under construction at ROG.

Safety

for those working in environments where fire is a real hazard, such as in the offshore oil industry, diesel has the added safety benefit of low flammability. that is just one good reason why gasoline is seldom carried on most large seagoing vessels. in the wider picture, diesel is a sensible propulsion option for tenders to run on and collect crew and passengers and bring goods ashore where docking is not always practical, for example with cruise ships and mega-yachts. other diesel advantages include availability of fuel, no toxic fumes, reduced co2 emissions and good solas.

FOCUS ON GERMANY

MV WERFTEN

Holding a Steady Course WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF CRUISE SHIPS, A NEW CHAPTER HAS BEGUN FOR THE GERMAN MV WERFTEN.

M

V Werften is located in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s maritime industry. The shipyard develops and builds luxurious river ships, polar mega-yachts and cruise liners. Over the last 70 years, the company’s shipyards in Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund have delivered over 2,500 new vessels for deployment in tourism, the Arctic, logistics and the offshore industry.

Recently, river-cruise vessels Crystal Bach and Crystal Mahler were successfully delivered and a further seven ships, to be delivered by 2021, are on order from the shipbuilding group. Numbers three and four of the Rhine-class ships, Crystal Debussy and Crystal Ravel, have been under construction since January and will be delivered in 2018.

In the spring of 2018, production will begin on the first of three endeavour-class megayachts as well as the first of two global-class ships for Star Cruises. MV Werften has also recently marked the start of Fertigmodule GmbH, supplying fully prefabricated passenger and crew cabins and has taken on over 100 apprentices in their shipyards in Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund.

Crystal Bach

The handover ceremony for the 135m-long river-cruise vessel Crystal Bach took place in Wismar. It was the first delivery of four identical Rhine-class ships to be built by MV Werften. The Crystal Bach was designed for river cruising in Europe. Up to 106 passengers will sail along the rivers Rhine, Danube and Main, through the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, in

4 2 | S B I 2 0 1 7 | Volum e 11 | Issue 6

55 large suites, all designed to be above the water line with horizontal sliding windows.

Most of the public areas have floor-toceiling glass. The Palm Court has a glassdomed ceiling. The luxury river yacht offers its passengers Crystal service, including personal butler service and a great crew-toguest ratio. The ship also features all the facilities of the Crystal brand, such as three gourmet restaurants, a spacious spa and gym, a counter-current swimming pool, electric bicycles, piano bar, bistro and numerous other facilities. “We have incorporated the best ocean-vessel navigational and safety standards in the Crystal river-vessel fleet, with four Azimuth thrusters for easy manoeuvrability. The forward bridge, with its state-of-the-art navigation system, is continually manned by two navigators who have had river-ship training at the Simwave simulator centre in Rotterdam,” says Gustaf Gronberg, SVP of Newbuilding and Marine Operations.

Crystal Mahler

Crystal Mahler, the second of four Rhineclass river vessels, was also ceremoniously handed over to Crystal River Cruises in Wismar. Like its sister vessel, the 135m-long and 11.4m-wide river cruise ship was designed for exploring Europe’s rivers. It complies with the highest safety and navigation standards. The interior of the Crystal Mahler boasts light and airy public areas, also with floor-to-ceiling glass walls as well as spacious suites with horizontal sliding windows. The ship carries 110 guests

in 55 all-balcony suites along the rivers Rhine, Main and Danube through Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Hungary. Sixtyeight crew members guarantee the awardwinning Crystal Cruises service as found on other ships in the fleet. The celebration culminated in a traditional christening at the shipyard. Lauren Barfield, a US citizen who plays for SSC Palmberg Schwerin, the reigning German volleyball champions, served as Godmother to the ship.

MV Werften has sponsored her team since March 2017. The athlete blessed the ship before the champagne bottle was thrown against the hull.

The Fertigmodule GmbH will supply fully prefabricated passenger and crew cabins by early 2018.

Fertigmodule GmbH

MV Werften Fertigmodule GmbH will supply fully prefabricated passenger and crew cabins for the global and endeavour-class ships, with the first ones due as early as spring 2018. Genting Hong Kong Group President Colin Au, MecklenburgVorpommern’s Minister of Economy Harry Glawe and numerous representatives of MV Werften attended the building of the first reference cabin, marking the start of official production. MV Werften Fertigmodule will produce a total of approximately 3,400 cabins for the globalclass cruise ships. Crew cabins for the endeavour-class mega-yachts, just under 150 per ship, will also be manufactured.

Both ship classes will be built at MV Werften in Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund from 2018. The cabins will be delivered to the shipyards and installed there as fully prefabricated modules. “Fully prefabricated cabins are the most time-saving and costeffective solution in cruise-ship building. As a result of our preliminary work, construction time on board will be kept as short as possible,” says Johannes Gößler, Managing Director of MV Werften Fertigmodule. The heart of the 9,000m2 production area is a 75m-long production line, the so-called flowline. In fifteen coordinated work processes, a cabin is

produced every twenty minutes or approximately twenty per day. By 2026, production will be gradually increased to around 7,000 per year.

Trainees

90 apprentices and twelve students taking sandwich degree courses have recently started their professional lives with MVWerften. In November 2016, MV Werften launched the campaign ‘90 apprentices by 1.9.2017’ – and it has been a success. 30 apprentices have each been taken on in the shipyards in Wismar, Rostock and Stralsund. Companywide, 32 plant mechanics, 29 construction mechanics, fifteen production mechanics, nine mechatronics engineers and five industrial electricians have now commenced their training. Twelve students taking sandwich degree courses specialising in mechanical engineering, four at each site, will be doing the practical part of their courses at MV Werften, with the theoretical part taking place either at the University of Wismar or, for the first time, at the University of Stralsund. This type of course results in a Bachelor of Engineering degree after eight or nine semesters. The company currently has a total of 194 future skilled workers in training – 169 apprentices in five different professions and 25 students on

sandwich degree courses specialising in mechanical engineering. The three shipyards have regularly received awards from the federal state’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce as ‘TOP training companies’ for the high quality of their training, the most recent of these having been received in the spring of 2017. “In the competition for the best-skilled staff, training carried out within your own company plays a key role,” says Jarmo Laakso, CEO of MV Werften.

“This is why we attach great importance to having a forward-looking and diverse apprenticeship programme and make long term plans with our trainees.” The career prospects for these future skilled workers are very good – with eight ships on their order books for the next five years.

Applications for trainee positions for 2018 are already open. i. www.mv-werften.com

S

ince the first edition in 1981, Marintec China has grown, in reflection of the size and importance of the Asian maritime market.

Marintec 2015 was host to 2,000 exhibitors and nearly 62,000 visitors from 116 countries, breaking all its previous records. These figures illustrate that China remains a major shipbuilding nation, even considering the massive downturn seen by global shipbuilding and offshore markets in recent years. Marintec has become an important platform for the Chinese and international maritime industries to connect and do business. organised with the expertise of China’s largest trade-exhibition organiser, UbM Asia, in conjunction with the Shanghai Society of naval Architects and ocean engineers (SSnAoe), a visit to Marintec China provides the perfect occasion to learn about the latest maritime technology, products and services.

The challenges currently being faced by the maritime industry also bring new opportunities. it is important for the industry to become more connected and engaged in order to ultimately win new business in globally significant markets.

The Chinese government invested heavily in its ‘Made in China 2025’ campaign, a 10-year strategy aimed at comprehensively upgrading China’s maritime equipment and shipping, with a special focus on high-tech cruise design and construction technology.

Programme Highlights

This year’s exhibition will focus on unmanned ships, smart ships and related equipment and technology. The shipbuilding industry in recent years has ushered in a new round of technological innovations. Smart ships, which

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

Marintec China.indd 47

were a mere r&D concept only two years ago, have become the prime innovation development in every major shipbuilding country. The iMo has conducted considerable discussions on the subject and the related conventions, regulations and standards are now at the formulation stage.

Japan, europe, South korea and China, have all formed alliances to develop smart ships, cooperating with research organisations, ship owners, shipbuilders, marine equipment manufacturers and related cross-sectoral experts. Together, they are working to promote the development of unmanned ships and smart ships.

The Senior Maritime forum will be staged concurrently with the exhibition. The theme of the forum is ‘innovation, Smart Manufacturing and Collaboration’. The event will be held on 4-7 December at the kerry hotel, pudong, which is located next to the Shanghai new international expo Centre.

During Marintec 2017, various maritime-related organisations and enterprises will host their separate forums, technical exchanges, product launches, signing ceremonies and award ceremonies. An international round table on internal combustion engines, an international conference on numerical tanks and an international seminar on water jet propulsion technology are also on the schedule. pursuing a hot topic in the shipbuilding market, Marintec China 2017 will dedicate a special area, ‘Marintec innovation – Cruise Shipbuilding’, to the construction, design and outfitting of luxury cruise ships. The first China-built luxury cruise ship will be the highlight of this exhibition area. i. marintechchina.com

FIRE SYSTEM AND PIPELINE CORROSION DANGER

Microbiologically Induced Corrosion CORROSION IS, UNFORTUNATELY, PART OF THE DAILY BACKDROP IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS. BIOLOGICAL CORROSION IS OFTEN ACCEPTED AS SOMETHING inevitable. There is a form of biological degradation which can have serious consequences: microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC, also known as Microbiologically influenced corrosion).

WORDS BY KO BUIJS, INNOMET B.V.

M

IC is often caused by sulphur-reducing bacteria (SRB), which can live under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Anaerobic bacteria can create a corrosive biofilm on the metal surface which can lead to severe corrosion damage. Moreover, these bacteria can be concurrently present in a biofilm as both aerobic and anaerobic. The aerobic bacteria are present on the water side because they always need oxygen; the anaerobic bacteria will prosper on the metal side. In practice, this relative new form of biological corrosion is very devastating and manifests on many metals and metal alloys.

Carbon steel and stainless steel are very sensitive to this form of corrosion.

Favourable Conditions

While MIC is usually caused by sulphurreducing bacteria, iron and manganese oxidising micro-organisms can also be a cause. Rough surfaces in aqueous environments are very sensitive to MIC, because these conditions are highly favourable for the deposition of corrosive biofilms. This occurs mainly in water cooling systems, sprinkler systems, storage tanks, heat exchangers, fire mains, sand bed filters, etc. As the temperature rises, the bacteria multiply faster, and may mutate to become resistant to higher temperatures. This bacterium seems capable of surviving in an

4 8 | S B I 2 0 1 7 | Volum e 11 | Issue 6

MIC.indd 48

environment of up to approximately 87°C. Some bacteria produce aggressive substances when they decompose, such as sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Steel and stainless steel are not resistant to these acids. Wall thicknesses of a few millimetres can be completely perforated after a couple of months. As metal corrodes in the anaerobic layer of the biofilm, tubercle reagents will form, manifesting as rust clusters in the shape of small cauliflowers.

Under these clusters, sulphuric acid forms, attacking the material at the weakest spot and etching the rest. This is why an affected spot is often visible next to a hole.

Twenty years ago, these types of corrosion were very uncommon. Today, it almost seems to be the most common form.

Opinions are divided on the question why.

The most likely scenario is that globalisation and rising temperatures have allowed sulphur-reducing bacteria to spread around the world.

Materials are infected quickly and may succumb to MIC in a short amount of time.

In addition, the biofilms created have a disadvantageous effect on heat transfer, and water-filled systems may clog up due to congestion, which creates an unacceptable problem for the sprinkler systems.

There is a good chance that MIC will start to

crop up in still water, particularly when the temperature starts to rise. Fire system mains constructed of stainless steel AISI316, which are filled with still water, have been found to leak within a year.

There are biocides such as sodium hypochlorite that can effectively kill such bacteria, but these cannot be applied everywhere: the final product may be adversely affected, and sometimes a biocide is too corrosive for the metal used. Sodium hypochlorite is very corrosive to stainless steel, because it has an unstable chloriccompound. Encouraging results have also been achieved with UV light and ozone. A process engineer can assist in determining the right approach.

Firefighting Equipment Hazards

Since MIC is not noticeable from the outside until the material wall is pierced by corrosion, its presence in firefighting equipment can easily cause hazardous situations.

but this is a misunderstanding. Zinc on steel gives a protective layer against water and carbonic acid, which is present in the atmosphere. This means there is an insoluble layer of the zinc patina, which in fact is a layer of zinc carbonate. It is important that a system alternates between wet and dry, and this is usually not the case with sprinkler systems. Because of the oxygen in the water, the zinc will dissolve due to the lack of carbonic acid so no zinc patina can be formed. That is why there will still be corrosion, and in fact the ideal structure is formed to connect a biofilm.

Protection Against MIC

View of the inside of a stainless steel alloy 316Ti pipe pierced

by MIC.

The cauliflower-like tubercles can clog pipes and sprinkler heads, preventing the whole system from functioning during a fire.

Leakages caused by MIC are often very small at first. If the perforations enlarge, water damage occurs, causing irreversible harm.

Through extensive international research, it has become clear that 73% of the installations examined that are over fifteen years old, no longer comply with the design harm.

In the world of fire prevention, there are dry and wet systems. These names can be misleading, as ‘dry’ systems are not dry at all. During fire drills and tests, the systems

5 0 | S B I 2 0 1 7 | Volum e 11 | Issue 6

MIC.indd 50

are filled with water. When drained, there is enough moisture left to initiate MIC. This became apparent during research done by the German Sprinkler Authorities (VdS) on dry and wet systems, when the ‘dry’ systems performed even worse than the wet ones.

The Netherlands has commissioned a Corrosion of Sprinkler Authorities Workgroup and a Commission of Experts in Extinguishing Systems (CvD) to create a memorandum on how to deal with MIC.

Zinc-Coating is No Solution

Pipes with an internal zinc coating are often seen as the solution to curb or prevent MIC,

One product that can help protect metals from MIC is PipeShield from MIC-Europe.

PipeShield is a REACH-registered product, which is added to water to create a protective layer on the surface. This layer is only atoms thick, but still offers a high resistance against the microbiologically induced corrosion. PipeShield enables micelles (lipid molecules that arrange themselves in a spherical form in aqueous solutions) to accrete as a surfactant substance on the metal wall, protecting it from MIC. Moreover, bacteria and microorganisms are encapsulated by this surfactant, whereby their corrosive development is limited. During a test, steel wool was immersed in normal drinking water with and without PipeShield. After a couple of weeks, the steel wool dissolved into iron hydroxide in the untreated water, while this did not occur in the water treated with PipeShield. PipeShield is pH neutral and dissolves fully in water.

Cathodic Protection

Interesting results can also be obtained with intelligent cathodic protection, which works with fluctuating currents. As a result, the acidity level fluctuates, which microorganisms cannot easily tolerate. This fluctuation can be achieved with sacrificial anodes and with impressed current.

Because the electric current fluctuates, anodes last approximately twice as long compared to anodes using conventional cathodic protection. Such smart anodes can only be applied in water reservoirs and tanks where firewater is contained. i. www.innomet.nl

PROPULSION

First thruster With schottel ProAnode delivered

Schottel Introduces ProAnode the First schottel rudderProPeller With the neWly develoPed And PAtented ProAnode hAs leFt the GermAn FActory in doerth For delivery to A russiAn customer. ProAnode’s neW Form And Position sets higher standards in corrosion protection, thereby extending the lifecycle of the thruster. Furthermore, moving the position of the anode from the outside surface into the cross-section of the nozzle tail, leads to subsequent operational benefits, such as reduced flow interference, resulting in fuel savings.

Enhanced Corrosion Protection

Schottel’s core idea was to remove the anodes from the outside surface of the nozzle, where they are prone to being knocked off by flotsam, such as wood or ice, or even by slight ground contact. Loss of the anodes is usually only discovered during maintenance downtime, by which time corrosion might already have become a problem. Plus, depending on the nozzle’s diameter and the anode’s material, anodes can be integrated in the nozzle and provide up to five years cathodic protection against corrosion. This enables a reduction in additional anodes for the hull or other thruster parts.

Optimisation of Hydrodynamic Flow

The new position in the tail of the nozzle not only shields the anodes, but also offers additional operational potential as it contributes to the optimal hydrodynamic flow of the nozzle. Its smooth overall surface reduces flow interference, thereby satisfying the customer’s requirement for a highly efficient propulsion system. It results in lower fuel consumption and pays off in terms of reduced operating costs.

The Schottel ProAnode will be standard in Schottel Rudderpropellers from now on. The conventional anode arrangement is still available upon request.

MAKING WAVES IN THE MARITIME MARKET International sanctions have held back Iran’s investment plans and ideals for a long time. Since they were lifted nearly two years ago, Iran has been transforming into the booming market place that economists had long been predicting. The country once again has access to funds that were previously frozen in foreign accounts and is actively attracting international business. The IMF expects the general economic growth in Iran to culminate between 4% and 5.5% towards the end of 2017.

A Maritime Nation A country that borders the Caspian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf is a maritime nation by definition. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that many of the largest investments in the last two years have been in this field. The Persian Gulf is of particular interest, since Iran has the largest coastline along these strategic waters and an important part of the Iranian Maritime Industry is located there.

Iran sits on both the third largest oil field in the world as well as the second largest in natural gas. The international demand for natural resources creates a

huge export market for the country. On the other hand, the demand for luxury items by its 81 million inhabitants accelerates the import market, making both tankers and container vessels a focal point for internationally operating ship owners. Port development will lead to a growing fleet of work and patrol boats, as well as necessary dredging operations.

Ever-important offshore exploration activities and the expanding oil and gas sector will demand their own new ships, platforms and services. Iran, in short, has something to offer to virtually anyone in both the maritime and the offshore industry.

Facts & Figures Iranimex • 20,000m2 exhibition area • 9,000 visitors from 17 countries • 400 national and international conference delegates • 300 exhibitors • 114 international exhibitors from 21 countries • 4 international pavilions (China, India, Romania, The Netherlands) • 92% of the visitors of Iranimex 2016 based investments on their visit

Iranimex, powered by Europort The need for modernisation in Iran is huge in all economic areas. There is an urgent demand for technological renewal, which Iran’s industry is not equipped to satisfy. Exhibitions play a pivotal role in establishing new business relations, of which Iranimex is a shining example. Some 18 editions ago, Iranimex started as a local event, connecting visitors from all maritime branches and government organisations.

After commencing an intensive cooperation with the world-renowned exhibition Europort in 2016 and rebranding itself as ‘Iranimex, powered by Europort’, the 2016 edition of the event grew by almost 30% compared to 2015, covering an exhibition area of 21,000 m2. Back in 2015, Europort’s trade fair organiser, Rotterdam Ahoy, was one of the first foreign parties to recognise the potential in Iran’s growing maritime market. Europort was the first international maritime show to host an Iran pavilion even before the Iranian trade sanctions were lifted.

Europort’s involvement in Iranimex saw the international participation rate grow from 10 companies in 2015 to 114 companies in 2016. Visitor numbers soared to over 9,000, making it, in fact, the number one maritime event in the region. Iranimex is supported by a host of influential associations and organisations, including the Iranian Association of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering and the Kish Investment and Development Co. The 2017 event offers plenty of opportunities to make new contacts and establish business ties with one of the fastest-growing maritime markets in the world. www.iranimex.ir

Kish Island The 19th edition of Iranimex will be held from 12-14 December 2017 on the tropical island of Kish, an Economic Free Zone. This popular holiday resort island is only a short (30 minute) flight away from Dubai International Airport and caters for international travellers on a daily basis.

The important shipbuilding region of Iran is right across the water.

Kish has a large selection of hotels, restaurants and activities.

Average December temperatures are a balmy 23 degrees.

No entry visa is required to enter Kish Island. Those who intend to enter the mainland of the I.R. of Iran before or after entering Kish Island should, however apply for an entry visa in good time. The organisation of Iranimex has selected an experienced international freight forwarder and travel agent to assist in getting materials and personnel to Kish and can help to arrange hotels.

OSI OUTFITTERS PAGES ACO Marine Unveils Next Generation Lipator and Lipatomat Grease Separation Systems ACO Marine is marketing its next-generation Lipator and Lipatomat grease separators, following the successful development of a new pneumatic valve and the standardisation of component parts. The new stainless-steel units are capable of treating between 1 and 25 litres per second, resulting in a more economical high-end stainless-steel grease separation system capable of providing the highest level of treatment and performance. The development allows the commercial shipping sector to treat galley waste fats, oils and greases more efficiently for the same cost as a traditional grease trap system and for up to 50% less than existing grease separation systems.

Increased Operational Efficiencies with E1000 Development Ampelmann, the global leader in offshore access solutions, has enhanced its existing E1000 gangway transfer system to speed up conversion of its gangway from personnel to cargo mode from at least ten minutes to less than one minute, providing greater operational efficiencies.

The innovative and adaptable E1000 motion-compensated access system can transform from a gangway into a crane boom. It is 30 metres in length and is capable of safely transferring people and up to 1,000 kilograms of cargo in rough sea states in wave heights up to 4.5 metres. i. www.ampelmann.nl

Kabelschlepp Metool has developed steel system channels for the cable carrier systems in the M series, with a matching roof enclosure system to provide additional top cover. The new dry steel system channel protects the cable carrier completely against outside influences, prevents build-up of dirt and allows easy cleaning and inspection. The intelligent roof system prevents penetration by coarse dirt, rain, snow or ice. At the same time, it allows easy inspection of the drag chains: the cover can be opened at any point, without tools, and can be locked in the opened position. The channel itself is a standardised, two-part guide channel, which can be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements of any project. It has a modular design allowing components to be purchased as a set or, in some cases, individually on request. The roof system also has a modular design and can be combined with all steel system channels. i. kabelschlepp.co.uk

OSI OUTFITTERS PAGES New Solution To Reduce Costs and Energy Loss on Onboard Electric Installations DESMI Pumping Technology A/S has introduced OptiPower, a new solution that enables shipowners and operators to avoid overheated and damaged electric installations and thus reduce costs and energy loss. Vessels and marine applications increasingly include power electronic devices with rapid and frequent load variations like frequency converters, uninterrupted power supplies and LED lights, which create voltage harmonic distortion and cause overheating.

OptiPower prevents this. It also meets the new limits for harmonics levels on vessels established by the marine classification societies earlier this year.

Safer Operations with EMCE’s Pull-In Winch Fully developed in-house, EMCE’s ‘pull-in’ winch has been specifically designed to meet the market demand for a low-weight compact hoisting device. It weighs in at a mere 850kg, allowing easy positioning by any available service crane, and generates an adjustable constant pulling force, making it suitable for deployment as a ‘HOLD BACK’ winch, with a maximum hoisting and/or pulling capacity of eight tons. The winch’s dynamic load measurement system display allows the operator to easily read the force being exerted on the cable.

In order to avoid overload situations, the operator can set the maximally permissible cable force in advance. i. www.emce.nl
