Damen Multibuster 8020 Receives Award Albwardy Damen has received an award for its innovative design of the new Damen Multibuster 8020 shallow draught, multi-purpose vessel during MASTECH international marine technical conference. The award was based on a number of factors that make this 80m-long oďŹ&#x20AC;shore workboat highly unusual. Its design draught of just 3.5m is exceptional for a vessel of its size and makes it ideal for the shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf, as well as elsewhere in the world. It also stands out for having a deck strength between the stern roller and the anchor handling and tow winch of 10t or even 20t per square metre as standard, with a corresponding coďŹ&#x20AC;erdam below decks and a design that ensures maximum visibility from the bridge of the foredeck and the aft working deck.

news in brief Anthony Veder Has Taken Delivery of Two Combined LNG/LEG Carriers Anthony Veder has taken delivery of two 10,000m3 combined-gas carriers, which can transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) and petrochemical gases including ethylene. With this transaction, Anthony Veder has expanded its fleet to 33 vessels and reinforced its leading position in small scale LNG. With eight small-scale LNG vessels, the company is continuing their strategy to support the potential for LNG as a marine fuel and in the distribution of LNG for power supply. The gas carriers were part of the Skaugen fleet and have been renamed Coral Favia and Coral Fungia. As an integrated shipping company, Anthony Veder will take over the commercial operation and ship management from the current managers.

Seaways International Takes Delivery of Two Fast Crew Suppliers On 4 March at Damen Shipyards Singapore, Seaways International took delivery of two Damen Fast Crew Suppliers (FCSs) 2206. Although they form part of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standardised vessel portfolio, Damen has tailored Seaways Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FCSs 2206, including the addition of FiFi with a capacity of 600m3 per hour and a throw length of 85m, additional accommodation and crew facilities, business class seating, fuel monitoring and a full 3G WiFi system. The vessels can carry up to 30 passengers as well as six crew. Seaways International specialises in offshore marine services and will use the new vessels to transport crew to offshore energy locations in West Africa.

Bakker Sliedrecht Successfully Develops First Generator Protection for Dual Fuel Vessels Bakker Sliedrecht has been the first to develop a generator protection system (CDG-protection) for dual-fuel vessels which operate with a dynamic positioning system (DP) 2 and 3. The system has been successfully tested by classification society DNV GL. The Common Diesel Generator protection system developed by the system integrator will be deployed for the first time on an offshore heavy-lift vessel, which is currently under construction. The newbuild will be equipped with a power plant of four generators of 10MW each, which run on both diesel and LNG. Generator protection is essential to prevent a blackout or failure in the power plant, which could cause the vessel to lose its position during operations.

n Norges Varemesse’s 21,000m2 of exhibition halls in Lillestrøm, approximately 1,000 exhibiting companies will be showcasing their latest products, services and innovations; building relationships, creating awareness and, most importantly, doing business.

Re-modelling

Per Martin Tanggaard, Nor-Shipping’s Director.

This year, Nor-Shipping has re-modelled itself to help its traditional maritime audience take advantage of the growing opportunities within the fast-growing ocean industries, emerging as the ‘arena for ocean solutions’. In this arena, the six themed halls help visitors to navigate efficiently and access the exhibitors that best suit their individual business needs. Hall A focuses on the blue economy and ‘tomorrow’s business solutions today’; IT & Navigation can be found in Hall B; Safety & Rescue in Hall C; Shipbuilding & Repair in Hall D; Maritime Services & Logistics in Hall E and Propulsion & Machinery in Hall F. In addition, national pavilions provide portals to the expertise on offer from countries around the world.

New Opportunities

With the re-marketing as the arena for ocean solutions, Nor-Shipping’s new Director, Per Martin Tanggaard, is plotting a path forward for an industry and an exhibition that, he believes, can access new opportunities by playing to traditional strengths.

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

Norshipping.indd 9

“Shipping will remain at the heart of NorShipping, you can see that in our name”, says Mr Tanggaard. “Showcasing and supporting the maritime industry is what we exist for. And the best way to do that, we believe, is by embracing new ocean opportunities.” The potential this will open up for both exhibitors and visitors, is, according to Mr Tanggaard, immense. He continues, “No one needs me to tell them that shipping, and its traditional cyclical nature, has changed over the past decade or so. The only thing we seem able to predict is its unpredictability, and that clearly isn’t a reassuring platform for growth. But here, with ocean activities, we have very clear positive indicators and that provides a huge opportunity for maritime.”

Partnerships

Mr Tanggaard plans to use Nor-Shipping not only as an arena for bringing together industries, but also as a way to bring in new regional organisations, businesses and partnerships, with activities spread across new venues. These small changes will attract new audiences and access fresh business opportunities. “Maritime is the foundation for building success in the ocean environment”, he says, “so as ocean industries grow, maritime players that are open to new opportunities can grow in tandem with them. This is in no way a threat to our industry. It is simply a compelling prospect for a new wave of

Liebherr Heavy Lift Ship Cranes With capacities ranging from 120 tonnes to 600 tonnes, the Liebherr CBB cranes cover all the main area of the heavy lift segment. Above that range the delivery program includes new developments up to 1250 tonnes SWL. One of the main advantages of CBB cranes is their low self-weight. This has a positive effect on the stability of the vessel as well as cargo handling â&#x20AC;&#x201C;simultaneously increasing safety and performance.

NOR-SHIPPING 2019 development.” He continues, “Maritime can benefit enormously from working closer with industries where we can adopt new skills, understanding and innovation – whether that be the tech sector, logistics, manufacturing or financial services. We want Nor-Shipping to be the arena where all these parties can meet, access one another’s talents and build better businesses.”

Young Talents

Nor-Shipping will not only provide an opportunity for today’s industry leaders to get together, but will also be showcasing the very latest innovations from young talents. Mr Tangaard adds, “The industry wants to connect with young talent, promote opportunities and raise the profile of maritime as an attractive sector for personal development, competence-building and successful careers.” He continues, “We are responding to that with the Blue Economy hall and the launch of the ocean Now Festival, which will showcase new ideas, innovations and career opportunities in downtown oslo. Furthermore, we have entered into a partnership agreement with SeaFocus to hold the finals of its established Intelligence Hunt initiative in Nor-Shipping’s exhibition hall B. This initiative, which sees international students presenting new solutions to business challenges, will be an important networking opportunity and showcasing platform for both students and industry players alike.”

Nor-Shipping provides an opportunity to get together and connect.

Sustainability

Mr Tangaard is also committed to NorShipping’s on-going focus on sustainability. Sustainability for him means more than just the environment; it also encompasses commercial sustainability and the benefits that commerce provides for people worldwide, including education, employment and increased prosperity. “Sustainability is one of our strategic pillars and we tailor all our activity with the u.N.’s Sustainable Development goals front-ofmind. As maritime and the ocean industries embrace one another and activity blossoms, it’s crucial that we safeguard our environment, people and standards. For long-term success, we have to build on solid foundations. We hope to play an important part in that process.”

Connecting People

“The shipping industry is being redefined by digitalisation”, Mr Tanggaard states.

Maritime products, innovations and solutions are showcased and sold at Nor-Shipping.

“Connected, smarter ships and businesses are utilising data in ways that are only restricted by our imaginations, while the way we communicate, consume information and go about our day-to-day duties has been transformed. Not over the past decade, but over the past few years.” “But”, he continues, “we can’t build competence, relationships, innovations, profit and sustainability in isolation. We have to work together to fully realise this industry’s potential. And the best way to do that isn’t via the internet; it’s with a

handshake, a smile and the chance to fully understand one another’s capabilities.” Nor-Shipping is the place where the maritime, tech, finance and wider business segments cross paths to learn from one another, forge partnerships, discover talent and technology, and access new economic value creation. “There is still no better way to connect than this”, states Mr Tanggaard. “This – here and now, face-to-face.” i. nor-shipping.com

focus on the netherlands

Dutch Sustainability In the netherlands, reducIng cO 2 emIssIOns Is hIgh On everyOne’s agenda. dutch shIpyards are currently constructing vessels with a focus on sustainability, such as fuel efficiency and alternative power sources for engines.

an der Kamp’s new trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Ecodelta, for example, was christened last January in Rotterdam and is one of the few LNGpowered trailing suction hopper dredgers in the Netherlands. This newbuild is a key component of the new contract entered into by dredging and construction company Van der Kamp and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. As reported earlier by the Zwolle-based dredging company, under the agreement signed in November 2017, Ecodelta will be responsible for keeping Rotterdam’s port basins at the correct depth until 2023. All in all, the contracted work concerns an annual volume of five million cubic metres of dredged material. Distinguishing it from a conventional dredger, Ecodelta is equipped with two ‘sweeparms’ to remove oil from the water surface, allowing it to quickly react to emergency response situations.

Electric

The new utility vessel for the province of Groningen, PW 18 was christened on 14 March. This official ceremony was carried out at the Royal Niestern Sander shipyard by

Fleur Gräper-van Koolwijk (deputy province of Groningen). The vessel replaces the current vessel, which is now 46 years old and built by the same shipyard. The province of Groningen manages approximately 143km of waterways. The monitoring and enforcement of these waterways will be carried out by the newbuild, which will also be deployed for events and for supervising special transportations by water in Groningen and the north of the Netherlands. This new utility vessel is a Groningen scoop. It is the first green, fully electrically powered utility vessel in the Netherlands. The installation of a battery pack on a utility vessel of such a size and capacity is unique. In addition, the vessel possesses the latest technical, energy-saving developments in the field of sustainability, such as usage of residual heat, use of sustainable wood and paint types and a silent electric motor. In short, Groningen will soon be smart and green. Various subcontractors and suppliers from the Groningen maritime cluster were involved in the construction, engineering, supply of steel and parts of the engine room, as well as navigation equipment and rescue equipment. Both the Province of Groningen and the Royal Niestern Sander shipyard are proud of this innovative and sustainable project.

During the christening ceremony of PW 18, Niestern Sander announced that it had received an order from Wagenborg for the construction of a sister vessel of the Egbert Wagenborg. The yard will soon start the construction of the second vessel of the EasyMax type. The EasyMax concept entails a multi-purpose vessel with a load capacity of 14,000t and was developed by Wagenborg and Niestern Sander. Wagenborg was awarded the KVNR Maritime Shipping Award for this ship design in 2018, partly due to its superior fuel efficiency. The Egbert Wagenborg has now

proved itself to be a sustainable and successful type of vessel and will continue to contribute, together with its future sister, to the position of Wagenborg Shipping as a leading multi-purpose shipping company.

Energy Management

Van Oord has ordered the construction of two state-of-the-art water injection vessels from Kooiman Marine Group. The new vessels will be multifunctional and include systems that ensure optimal deployment. During the design, the energy management of both vessels was given special attention as well. These new-generation vessels will be versatile and have water injection dredging, mass flowing and power jetting systems. The latest technological developments have also been applied, such as heave compensation and dynamic positioning, which means that the dredging can be pre-programmed to a great extent and performed more efficiently. Thanks to excellent manoeuvrability and very limited draught, the vessels are perfectly suitable for maintenance dredging in shallow harbours. The new water injection vessels will further be equipped with a hybrid energy management system. Consequently, the

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

Focus on the Netherlands layout2.indd 13

PW 18 is the first green, fully electrically powered utility vessel in the Netherlands. vessels can store energy in batteries from residual heat that is normally lost. This energy is subsequently used for purposes including propulsion. Diesel-electric engines will reduce CO2 emissions. The new waterinjection vessels will comply with the new IMO TIER III legislation for reducing harmful NOx emissions and take account of EU STAGE V legislation. The first vessel will be commissioned in late 2020.

Analysing Software

Furthermore, We4Sea, a Delft-based maritime startup, is developing a platform that analyses and reports fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions from seagoing vessels based on a unique Digital Twin concept. The collected data is analysed and

then used to minimise fuel consumption. Vessel speed, draught and water depth form part of the analyses as well as wind, waves and currents. For a vessel with average fuel consumption, savings can easily add up to thousands of tonnes of CO2 emissions and tens of thousands of Euros a year. Recently, the startup secured new funding to accelerate the development and roll-out of its platform. The investment by ENERGIIQ, Mainport Innovation Fund II and angel investors was announced by Adri Bom-Lemstra, Regional Minister for Economy and Innovation for the Province of Zuid-Holland at the Maritime Delta dinner in Schiedam. Dan Veen, CEO and co-founder of We4Sea, comments, “We’re proud of the growth achieved in recent years, but there’s still a wealth of opportunity that will help us improve our product, connect with more customers and expand the market. This is in line with our mission to prevent one million tonnes of cO2 emissions from shipping.” i. kooimanmarinegroup.nl i. niesternsander.com i. portofrotterdam.com i. vanoord.com i. we4sea.com

he most significant aspect of the works was the installation of an eight-point mooring system for her future drilling contracts. by using this for holding position, emissions will be significantly reduced and substantial savings on fuel costs will be made. the upgrade also enables the rig to work in waters which are shallower than before, which greatly increases her operational envelope. DVr, one of Damen Shipyards groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most experienced yards in the repair and refit of complex offshore structures, began preparations for the installation of the new mooring system well before the stena don arrived at the yard.

he ceremony took place at the hamburg cruise center steinwerder, with more than 250 guests witnessing the christening of the vessel by annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, federal chairman of the christian-democratic union (cdu). with the words, “may God bless her and all who sail on her”, ms KrampKarrenbauer wished the vessel safe journeys at all times and a hand-span of water under the keel.

Chartering

hamburg-based Nauticor chartered the newbuild from the owner Babcock schulte energy via the joint venture Blue LNG, where Nauticor has a 90% share and Lithuanian energy infrastructure provider KN (Klaipedos Nafta) has a 10% share. since delivery, the vessel has been deployed in the Baltic region to service a number of clients, including the Linde/aGa terminal in Nynäshamn, sweden, and the Klaipėda LNG fuelling station in Lithuania. ms abeynaike says, “with the chartering of Kairos, the availability of LNG as fuel for shipping on a large-scale basis is secured, in areas such as the Baltic sea, for example. with shipping companies having access to a fuel that is not only financially attractive, but also environmentally sustainable, people and nature in Northwest europe will benefit from a substantial reduction of emissions at sea and in port.” ms Kramp-Karrenbauer points out the significance of this project, “the commissioning of this vessel is not only important for the

Our industry is evaluating ways to meet new emissions regulations and reduce its carbon footprint. The use of natural gas is emerging as the most sustainable solution for powering global maritime transportation into the future. We believe that this will offer significant opportunities for the joint venture.”

Development

LNGBVs are an essential link in the growing LNG marine fuel supply chain. But the development of a LNGBV such as Kairos also presents unique challenges in terms of automation and gas handling. In addition to using boil-off gas in their engines, bunkering vessels must extract vapour from receiving ships to use as fuel, which requires additional interfaces between the gas plant and the rest of the vessel. This means that their automation and gas-handling systems are particularly complex and require tailored solutions. “The christening of Kairos is the result of several years of thorough preparation by Nauticor’s team and its partners”, Ms Abeynaike says. The conceptual design for Kairos was developed by BMT Titron, a joint venture between the UK’s BMT Group and Hong Kong’s Titron, with its detail design created by South Korea shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in Ulsan, South Korea. Høglund Marine Solutions was commended by HMD for their cooperation, communication and work that was carried throughout the whole project, in which Høglund provided the automation systems on Kairos.

Wide Range

Kairos can perform both ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering and transhipment operations, providing LNG bunkering for ferries, container vessels, cruise ships and landbased gas consumers. To cater to this wide range of potential receivers, Kairos features a low-level loading/unloading manifold on the portside, forward of midships, and a stern offloading manifold, in addition to the conventional port and starboard midships

1 8 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | i ssue 2

Kairos.indd 18

manifold. The midships and port-side manifold will enable Kairos to load and offload at any of the current LNG terminals, floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) or floating storage and offloading units (FSUs). The vessel can also utilise the stern offloading station to facilitate a safe and secure mooring arrangement, when the position of the receiving ship’s bunker station and the parallel body of the receiving vessel does not allow Kairos to safely moor alongside and transfer LNG from the midships transfer station LNG is stored in two independent IMO type C tanks with a total capacity of

7,500m3, designed to contain the LNG at a minimum temperature of -163°C and maximum vapour pressure of 3.75 bar(g). Thanks to the combination of different sized pumps and variable speed drive, the vessel has a flexible transfer rate enabling it to service the wide range of vessels. The transfer rate ranges from 60m³/h up to 1,250m³/h, which is equivalent to more than 30 LNG trucks per hour.

Cargo Transfer System

Babock Schulte Energy has developed its own proprietary cargo transfer system for Kairos. This transfer system is based around

liquid, vapour and nitrogen purge hoses, safely stowed and manipulated from a powered reel. the liquid and vapour hoses are each fitted with quick connect/dry disconnect (Qc/dc) and powered emergency release couplings (perc) to support efficient operation and safe emergency disconnection, respectively. andrew scott, General manager at Babcock LGe process, explains further, “as a number of the receiving vessels have the bunker station connection points inboard, the transfer system is fitted with tail-piece hoses to ensure that the perc, when activated, cannot be trapped in the bunker station.

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

Kairos.indd 19

the hoses are passed to the receiving vessel using the onboard knuckle boom cranes. during the transfer operation, the crane fully supports the hoses and, in the event of perc activation, ensures that the hoses are held safely and securely.”

Ballast-Free Design

the ice-class vessel has several other innovative features developed by hmd as well, including the installation of a cNG tank to store vapour return gas from customer vessels and a ballast-free design, eliminating the need for a ballast water treatment system (Bwts) and the threat of

transporting invasive species. to develop the ballast-free vessel design, hmd focused on the combination of a special hull form with dead-rise, the forward positioning of the engine room and deckhouse and its twin propulsion system with two azimuth thrusters. to elaborate, the vessel is equipped with Babcock’s fuel Gas supply Vessel Zero (fGsV0) technology, which integrates the fuel system with the cargo systems, allowing BoG and flash gas, which would otherwise be lost during operations, to be collected as compressed Natural Gas (cNG), and used as fuel. however, when cNG is not available, LNG can be vaporised and provided as fuel to the engines. integral components of the fGsV0 system are high-pressure cNG titan tanks supplied by hexagon Lincoln, a subsidiary of hexagon composites. the titan cylinders will store compressed BoG from the LNG tanks and flash gas from cargo operations and supply the cNG as fuel to the vessel’s four-stroke, dual-fuel wärtsilä propulsion engines. “By compressing the boil-off and flash gas and supplying it as fuel to the vessel’s engines, our clients will save distillate fuel costs and at the same time reduce the vessel’s emissions of sulphur oxides (sox) and particulate matter”, says mr scott. “in addition, we eliminate fugitive emissions of LNG from the cargo systems, providing a true zero emissions solution.” the forward accommodation structure lifted earlier design constraints relating to line-ofsight from the wheelhouse and has the benefit of longitudinally balancing the vessel as well. this, combined with the low-density LNG cargo, means Kairos has no need for water ballast and associated treatment systems. only a limited volume of permanent fresh water ballast is used for trim purposes. the smaller diameter of the propellers fitted in the azimuth thrusters enables the vessel to achieve full immersion in all operational conditions, retaining its damage stability and control over the trim and heel without ballasting. the construction of the vessel started in 2016, and in february 2018 steel cutting took place at hmd where the vessel was delivered from in october 2018. Kairos is the first LNGBV built by hmd, and its success sets the stage for further LNGBV projects at this yard. i. nauticor.de

fter an intensive and constructive process of negotiation with the receiver, marco kalmijn, and rabobank, the acquisition and subsequent relaunch of the Barkmeijer shipyard in stroobos was a fact. This relaunch is of great importance to the shipbuilding industry in the northern netherlands. it guarantees employment and the continuity of orders from suppliers.

Specialist Vessels

in recent years, Barkmeijer shipyards has successfully developed and built innovative

vessels. Their knowledge and expertise in the field of specialist vessels is a welcome addition to the portfolio of TB shipyards, which already has locations in harlingen, kampen and meppel. The addition of Barkmeijer to the Bodewes shipyard group creates an extended portfolio of different vessel types.

Future Strategy

The Barkmeijer shipyard went bankrupt while working on an order for two new trailing suction hopper dredgers (TshD) for hanson uk. The shipyard could not carry the cost of the client’s increasingly stricter demands, and also had a eur 5 million dispute with a croatian buyer. hanson uk eventually withdrew their order, but TB shipyards have already found a new buyer for the hulls at Barkmeijer shipyard. furthermore, TB shipyards is focussing on

starting up the shipyard in stroobos again. “The most important thing is that the shipyard will become healthy again financially”, comments Bodewes. This, according to them, means that Barkmeijer shipyard will work on smaller projects in the future. “in kampen, we have enough room for large vessels”, Bodewes adds. “in stroobos, we are going to look at what suits the shipyard best.” Barkmeijer shipyards will continue its activities under its own name. i. barkmeijer.com i. tbshipyards.com

Renewal of the Navy Fleet SINCE 2014, WITH THE DELIVERY OF THE HNLMS KAREL DOORMAN, THE CONSTRUCTION OF NAVAL VESSELS FOR THE DUTCH NAVY HAS BEEN ON HOLD FOR A LONG TIME. LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, SECRETARY OF DEFENCE BARBARA VISSER announced a renewal of the Royal Dutch Navy ﬂeet, including a new combat support vessel (CSV), two multipurpose frigates and six mine countermeasures vessels (MCMVs).

n November 2018, Ms Visser and Secretary of Economic Affairs Mona Keijzer presented the scale model of the first naval newbuild at the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN). The CSV will be developed and constructed in the Netherlands. Her name: HNLMS Den Helder. Vice Admiral Rob Kramer, commander Naval Forces, comments, “We are very content with the combat support vessel as a first step in the renewal of the Royal Dutch Navy’s ﬂeet.”

Largest Naval Investment

The total investment is about EUR 4 billion and the largest naval order to date. The replacement of the M-frigates and MCMVs is a joint order from the Belgian and Dutch Navy, with the Netherlands being in charge of the M-Frigate and Belgium the replacement of the MCMVs. The order for the four M-frigates was awarded by the Netherlands to Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding and Thales Nederland. Thales Nederland is going to deliver the state-of-the-art fire-control system for these newbuilds. The Above Water Warfare System (AWWS) will offer a better defence and consist of a combination of new-generation sensors and intelligence software. CEO of Thales Nederland, Gerven Edelijn, comments, “We are proud to deliver this new standard to the Dutch and Belgium Marine. This system can strengthen the Dutch naval industry even further, both in Europe and globally.”

2 2 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | Issue 2

The supply of twelve MCMVs and their toolbox (payloads) was attributed by Belgium to the Belgian Naval & Robotics consortium, bringing together the French Naval Group and ECA Robotics. Like the HNLMS Den Helder, these newbuilds will feature unmanned systems to secure safer operations at sea. The first of the twelve MCMVs is expected to be delivered to Belgium in 2023 and to the Netherlands in 2025.

Submarine Replacement Project

Another call for tenders comes from the Netherlands’ submarine replacement project. Saab Kockums and Damen Shipyard Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) are contenders and want to build the replacement submarines for the Dutch Walrus class, in a balanced cooperation between the Netherlands and Sweden. The evolutionary design of these new submarines is based on Sweden’s decades of experience in designing and building submarines. Since 1960, Sweden has developed six classes of submarines and modernised five existing classes for various countries. The pressure-hull modules will be produced in Sweden, after which the complete assembly and integration of each submarine will take place in Vlissingen. Thanks to the unique modular structure of the new submarines, various sub-projects can be completed by the Dutch maritime cluster; as a result, companies and institutions from all over the Netherlands

The Dutch Naval Cluster Over the past years, the Dutch naval cluster, consisting of Damen Shipyard Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS), Thales, RH Marine and other smaller marine companies, have proved their expertise in the Netherlands and across the border, with naval vessels of high quality, fitted with innovative technology and at a relatively low cost. Hein van Ameijden, DSNS’s Managing Director, says, “The Dutch naval cluster remains a vital and future-proof OEM shipbuilding and integration base, capable of complex naval projects, offering the ability to act for the Netherlands, and opening ways for a meaningful (industrial), Dutch contribution to international cooperation; be it for the Royal Dutch Navy, the EU or NATO.”

will be involved in the construction. The final phase of submarine assembly, as well as maintenance and modernisation throughout the vessels’ lifetime, will take place in Den Helder. According to DSNS, this project is of great importance for the Dutch naval industry. As with earlier submarine maintenance and modernisation projects, this initiative will generate many high-quality jobs for skilled Dutch workers. Companies involved in construction will therefore continue to

The Naval Group has put in its bid as well, and have formed a strategic partnership with Dutch Royal IHC. Within this partnership Naval Group would define the submarine design with the Dutch authorities, while Royal IHC would be appointed to perform the construction and outfitting of the end product leveraging the Dutch maritime sector. The agreement is designed as a stepping stone to allow maximum involvement of the Dutch maritime cluster. Hervé Guillou, Naval Group Chief Executive Officer, comments, “Naval Group aims for a long-term presence in the Netherlands and has built a robust network of over seventy Dutch industrial partners. We have been engaging actively with the Dutch industry and knowledge centres for over a year-and-a-half and have reinforced our local footprint with several important milestones, such as the creation of Naval Group subsidiary in the Netherlands. Today, we are joining our strengths together with Royal IHC to support the Netherlands MOD in getting the most capable submarine responding to the specific needs of a first-rank NATO partner.” Dave Vander Heyde, CEO of Royal IHC, adds,

focus on the netherlands

”Royal IHC is pleased to partner with Naval Group not only due to its extensive track record in building submarines, but also given the values our companies share; we are committed and reliable; we can offer the best-value product and we are extremely well placed to include a strong Dutch content base. Having these shared values as part of our DNA, we are confident that together we are able to offer the best solution for the Netherlands’ Submarine Replacement programme.” Over the next months, Naval Group and Royal IHC will reinforce their partnership with the review of building sites in the Netherlands and by engaging in an ongoing dialogue with Dutch industry partners.

Another Prototype

Alongside the newbuilds announced earlier, Damen Shipyards Den Helder (DSDH) and the Netherlands’ Defense Material Organiation (DMO) procurement agency signed a contract in March for the design, build and delivery of a prototype Expeditionary Survey Boat (ESB). This naval vessel will be optimised for rapid environmental assessments and hydrographic surveys in ports, river mouths, shallow waters, coastal areas and shipping channels. The newbuild will be manned by four persons; two to crew the vessel and two technicians to operate the hydrographic equipment, and will be able to spend over 60 hours continuously at sea at her survey speed of 5 knots. The contract furthermore requires that the ESB be capable of being transported to worldwide destinations in davits on board large logistics support vessels such as the JSS Karel Doorman and the LPD Johan de Witt, as well as other suitable Royal Dutch Navy vessels, so as to carry out its operational tasks over a number of days. The result is that the vessel must be limited in size, profile and weight to 15.7m in length, 4.18m in height and 24t overall. However, within those parameters, she will need to carry a full suite of hydrographic equipment and incorporate both hardened weapons’ positions and ballistic protection around the wheelhouse, engine room and the gun positions. DSDH is responsible for the design and engineering as well as the build. “We are very pleased to have won this specialist project”, says Jelle Loosman, Managing Director of DSDH. “We have eighteen

months in which to build and deliver this vessel. It will be a small but complex project and we hope it will be a valuable addition to the Royal Dutch Navy.” The ESB will replace smaller vessels of approximately 10m that are currently used for hydrographic surveys, but which are not specifically designed for survey work. i. defensie.nl i. naval-group.com i. nlnavy.damen.com i. marin.nl i. royalihc.com

Voltaire compared to Jan De Nul’s two other jack-up vessels.

o be able to support the renewable energy industry in the construction of future wind farms at sea, Jan De Nul is breaking new ground with their third jackup installation vessel. This new vessel will feature an unrivalled crane capacity of over 3,000t and is set to be delivered in 2022 by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry in China.

Key Features

Voltaire, as the newbuild is called, is specifically designed to transport, lift and install offshore wind turbines, transition pieces and foundations. The vessel will have better operational limits when compared to the existing jack-up installation vessels. It will also be deployable for the oil and gas industry and for the decommissioning of offshore structures. Key features include a main crane of over 3,000t, an operating depth of approximately 80m, a payload of some 14,000t and accommodation for 100 persons. The vessel has four legs to lift itself above sea level and maintain stable working conditions and is equipped with a DP2 system. Compared to Jan De Nul’s two other jack-up vessels, Vole au Vent and Taillevent, Voltaire has almost 100% more deck space. The extra deck space will enable Jan De Nul to optimise installations at sea and to lower fuel consumption and emissions.

Ultra-Low-Emission Vessel

Voltaire will be an environmental pioneer, taking the same highly advanced emission

control technology on board as all other ultra-low emission vessels (ULEVs) in the Jan De Nul fleet. The latest generation of Jan De Nul ULEVs are equipped with a highly advanced exhaust gas filtering system which uses a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which complies with the much stricter European inland waterways emission regulations EURO STAGE V and VERT protocol for Best Available Technology. This leads to a reduction in the impact that maritime transport and port development have both on public health and ambient air quality. The use of such filters has been compulsory in other industries for many years but was relatively new in commercial sea-going vessels.

Emission Control Technology

First, exhaust gases pass through a SCR unit. By adding urea (Ad Blue) to the exhaust gasses, the NOx emissions are reduced when passing through the catalytic material. When the SCR unit is active, the engine runs in optimal conditions, therefore using the fuel more efficiently, and thus reducing its carbon footprint (even taking into account the footprint of urea). After the SCR, the treated exhaust gases pass through the DPF system, removing 99.9% of all particles from the exhaust gases. At the same time, black carbon is eliminated, a climate-forcing agent 1,000 to 3,200 times stronger than CO2. “Emissions have a profound impact on

human health, making air pollution from vessels highly unwelcome in urban areas”, Michel Deruyck, Fuel Coordinator at Jan De Nul, begins. “Nanoparticles come in a wide range of sizes; from a few nanometres to 100,000 nanometres. Nanoparticles are invisible. Their size can be compared to the breadth of a human hair, allergens, pollen, the flu virus or bacteria. That is precisely the reason why nanoparticles, which are emitted by all types of engines and fuels, behave like Trojan horses once inhaled.” “In a DPF,” Mr Deruyck continues, “exhaust gases are forced to flow through a porous filter wall in which even the smallest lungpenetrating and carcinogenic particles are captured. No engines should be operated without filters to protect the health of the crew and citizens. Engines without particle filters, regardless of engine technology or fuel used, cannot compete with engines with filters when considering solid particle emissions in the real world.” Jan De Nul has already applied this pioneering emission-control technology on two trailing suction hopper dredgers and three more, currently under construction. Voltaire will be the very first ULEV seagoing installation vessel of its kind.

A Pioneering Vessel

The vessel is named after the French writer, historian and philosopher François-Marie Arouet, known by his pseudonym Voltaire; an icon of the European Enlightenment of the 18th Century. Both Voltaire and Jan De Nul’s newbuild are pioneers within their field of expertise. Philippe Hutse, Offshore Director at Jan De Nul Group, comments, “Upon her delivery in 2022, we will be capable of efficiently installing the next generation of offshore wind turbine generators and foundations. This investment is a logical step forward in the development of our offshore wind capacities.

n April, the Dutch company Vroon Offshore Services secured a contract with Total E&P in the Southern North Sea. Under the new contract, Vroonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk-to-work vessel VOS Start will provide logistics support to offshore assets in the Southern North Sea (SNS). Fitted with a 50t active-heave-compensated crane and able to accommodate up to 60 client personnel, VOS Start was designed to allow optimal people and cargo workflow between main deck, accommodation areas and the offshore asset. Her Barge Master motion-compensated gangway system is a pivotal element of the

shipboard workflow, as people (and cargo trolleys, if required) can enter a lift built in the tower, along which the gangway system slides vertically between 9m and 27m on the sea level, maintaining a horizontal position when landing at any height between 14.5m and 22m. At the beginning of April, VOS Start will sail to the irish Sea where she will engage in similar walk-to-work operations for an offshore-renewable client. Norwegian-based golden Energy Offshore Services AS (gEOS) have extended their contract with Wintershall Norge AS. The

offshore vessel operator said that the contract is in direct continuation of the charter contract of 2013. In 2013, the large platform supply vessel (PSV) Energy Swan was chartered for a firm period of four years plus optional (total of five years’ options). The charter rate reflects the market conditions in a region which is reasonably tight on availability of this type of high-spec PSV tonnage. Icon Offshore Bhd’s subsidiary, Icon Offshore Group Sdn Bhd (IOGSB), have secured a series of contracts for the provision of offshore support vessels (OSVs) for petroleum arrangement contractors and a straight supply vessel for Petronas Carigali. IOGSB have received five contracts for the OSVs from three petroleum arrangement contractors for production operations.

In addition, a number of new offshore vessels are being constructed and delivered. Just recently, Damen launched Bibby Marine Services’ second service operations vessel (SOV) 9020 at Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania. Officially named Bibby WaveMaster Horizon, the SOV was developed in close consultation with the offshore renewable energy industry. The design combines walk-to-work capabilities with DP-2, a new motion-compensated gangway, hull design, internal layout, and comprehensive features to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Boskalis Offshore Fleet Management has acquired the multipurpose DP2 offshore Construction vessel with anchor handling facilities Lewek Falcon, which will be renamed the Boka Falcon. The 93.40m-long vessel was built in Singapore in 2011. At Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, she was fitted with four auxiliary engines with a total output of 9,400kW. In addition, a Rolls Royce Icon DP2 System was installed.

class 2 PSV. Designed by Master Boat Builders, Bayou La Batre, Alabama, the newbuild has a clear deck area of 561m2, with a length overall of 67m, beam of 15m, depth of 5m and loaded draught of 5m. It is fitted with four Schottel thrusters and two Caterpillar 3512C main engines, rated at 1,911hp at 1,600rpm. The engines drive a pair of five-bladed bronze propellers via shafting and Twin Disc reduction gearing. Seacor Totonaca can reach a maximum speed of 11.8 knots. Next to Seacor Totonaca, Seacor Marine acquired three PSVs from China’s COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Zhoushan) Company earlier this year, which expects to deliver the first vessel in September 2019. Vattenfall, in turn, has signed a contract with Windcat Workboats for the provision of crew transfer vessels (CTVs) for the Hollandse Kust Zuid 1 & 2 offshore windfarm in the Dutch North Sea. Under the agreement, Vattenfall will be one of the first users of Windcat’s hydrogen-powered vessels, currently being developed. The vessel operator is working with CMB Technologies on the vessel development, which is expected to be completed by 2020.

Trends & Challenges

The Dutch Dredging Industry The global dredging markeT has long been dominaTed by duTCh Companies. however, The Trends of inCreasing protectionism and the differences in sustainability requirements across countries are challenging the competitive position of the Dutch dredging industry.

he report â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Dutch and Belgian Dredging Industry: An Exploration of the Futureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, written by Jan van den Ende, professor of Management of Technology and Innovation at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) and Marut Tarakci, associate professor of Innovation Management at RSM, indicates that several trends can strengthen the sector further. Based on interviews with a number of key players in the sector and on archival research, RSM investigated the main trends the dredging industry has been experiencing and its innovation capabilities to stay relevant in the future.

Macro Trends

On the one hand, macro-economic and climate trends are creating new markets, or enhancing the size of existing markets, for dredging; on the other hand, there is a trend to put limits on the operations of dredging companies, such as governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sustainability policies, increasing protectionism and increasing safety requirements. A major trend here is the quest for sustainability, as exemplified by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Although the importance of this trend for the dredging industry is most evident in Europe, it is also becoming increasingly relevant in other parts of the world, for instance in Asia, where international institutions, such as the World Bank, are financing projects and requiring certain levels of sustainability in their execution. Companies in the maritime sector in general have to comply with the rules set by IMO, an UN body in charge of naval and maritime regulations.

Eco-friendly Innovations

As a result of these changing sustainability requirements, new ecofriendly trends are visible within the dredging sector, namely reducing emissions from dredgers and eco-engineering. Dredgers are becoming greener thanks to the use of after-treatments to clean exhaust gas and switching to cleaner and/or more renewable fuels. Boskalis, for instance, has started a programme with Goodfuels to develop

The study was supported by Van Oord, DEME, Boskalis, Royal IHC, Damen Shipyards Group, MAN Energy Solutions and PON Power. It was conducted by Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) with advice from the Dutch Association of Dredging Contractors IADC, Maritime Delta, InnovationQuarter and Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT). Maritime Delta, InnovationQuarter and Netherlands Maritime Technology were also responsible for the organisation of the symposium.

biofuels for the maritime sector. Other initiatives in the sector focus on energy storage and waste-heat recovery, as well as intelligent power-distribution systems. Dredging companies are also looking to reduce environmental effects. Van Oord has developed the FaunaGuard, to keep animal life at a distance using sound. Other examples are the artificial coral developed by Boskalis and the Royal IHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plumigator. Furthermore, the Netherlands is the frontrunner when it comes to ecoengineering. This concept essentially entails developing hydraulic engineering solutions in which the forces of nature are integrated. One example is the use of the momentum of a dredging project to realise other natural environment projects in the vicinity.

Dredging Vessels

Since experience in dredging is highly relevant when designing a vessel, dredging

companies have a strong input when it comes to new high-end vessels. Dredging companies, such as Dutch Dredging, strongly rely on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tacitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge of their operational personnel in the process of designing a new vessel. In this way, experience is effectively translated into innovative solutions that affect the future efficiency and effectiveness of operations, thus giving a competitive advantage. Shipbuilding companies traditionally bring in their own system integration capabilities as well. Suppliers in the dredging industry are companies such as Bakker Sliedrecht for electrical installations, MAN for Marine engines and systems and Damen Dredging or IHC Dredge Equipment for dredging installations. These companies are specialised towards these and similar technologically advanced industries, and propose innovative equipment designs. To some extent, dredging firms deal directly

with such equipment suppliers to explore new equipment technologies. Recently, some dredging companies have taken on the role of ship designer, including system integration. Jan De Nul was the first dredging company to create this capability, but other dredging companies such as Van Oord are following suit. In some cases, dredging companies hire engineering design agencies such as Vuyk Engineering for that purpose. In such cases, shipbuilders can be seen more as executors of a design developed by the dredging companies. Furthermore, some dredging companies are tending to order more and more readymade vessels, or copies of earlier designs. In other words, the integration capability is being transferred to the shipbuilder, who, however, will only apply it for a series of dredging vessels at the same time. While these sister vessels can still target higher ends of the market, some high-end shipbuilders are also starting to enter at the low-end of the market with ready-made ships. A good example of this is Royal IHC’s Easydredge project.

Bigger Vessels

Another dominant trend when it comes to dredging vessels has been, and still is, the trend towards larger vessels equipped with new dredging techniques. Since the 1990s, large dredging companies have been building the so-called ‘Jumbo hoppers’, with capacities ranging from 15,000m3 to 20,000m3. Nowadays, hoppers are operated with a

capacity of more than 45,000m3. The trend towards larger vessels is particularly evident with cutter dredgers. The largest cutter dredgers have a capacity of more than 40,000kW installed power, referring particularly to the Willem van Rubroeck and Spartacus, owned by Jan De Nul and DEME respectively. The development of the large hopper dredgers has been stimulated and justified by several extremely large projects that have come on to the market. The larger hopper capacity ships are also more efficient in other projects. Larger cutters are not always more cost-effective than smaller ones, but they can be deployed for new markets with harder rock and longer discharge distances, which haven’t been addressed before.

Market Changes

When it comes to deep dredging with ranges over 100m, new markets have opened up, such as pipeline projects and dredging in regions with sand shortages. Damen shipyard has developed a modular unit called the RoRo Deep Dredge. It is a submersible drag-arm, similar to the dragarm of a trailing suction hopper dredger, which can be lowered to a depth of 29m. In the future, dredging at an even greater depth may be used for mining purposes, with deep-sea mining possibly being used to extract scarce minerals. Dedicated modules to scrape materials from deep-sea surfaces still need to be developed. Alongside the possibilities of new markets,

competition from China has also emerged. This competition mostly concerns the shipbuilding sector, where Chinese shipbuilders have already created a strong position especially in the developing and underdeveloped markets. The Chinese market itself, on the other hand, remains closed to international dredging companies.

Future of Dutch Dredging

The main conclusions of the report are that the dredging sector in the Netherlands still has a strong international position. Jointly, both large and smaller Dutch dredging companies have a dominant position in the global dredging market, and the sector is leading in innovation and performance in shipbuilding and dredging technologies. Two innovation arenas have created this position: the triangle of dredging firms, shipbuilders and equipment manufacturers producing high-quality dredging vessels and equipment, and the triangle of dredging firms, research institutes and government agencies developing new methodologies for dredging, such as eco-engineering. Despite this positive outlook, the Dutch dredging industry needs to strengthen their collaboration in order to keep up with growing international competition. Both vertical partners (equipment manufacturers, shipbuilders, and dredging firms), as well as the competing dredging firms, should redefine how they compete and cooperate in developing innovative solutions. i. rsm.nl

he official start of construction was in November 2018, with the keel-laying ceremony in Rostock-Warnemünde, where the vessel’s engine room unit was produced. The newbuild was further constructed in Dock II at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, where it left the covered building dock in March 2019. Berthed at the shipyard’s outfitting pier, the vessel was later fitted with its funnel cladding before being conveyed on the River Ems to Eemshaven, the Netherlands. In Eemshaven, the newbuild went through several days of technical and nautical sea trials on the North Sea. Before the Spectrum of the Seas was able to berth at the out-fitting pier, the floating section (engine room unit) of the Norwegian Encore that was currently moored there was moved to another berth in the shipyard port. Once Spectrum of the Seas left the dock, the floating part for the Norwegian Encore, which is due for completion in autumn 2019, was manoeuvered back into the free covered building dock II for further construction work.

and control of the long-term effects of operation on the vessel’s structural and functional components. This adds significant value to the asset. In addition, a digital twin can be very useful for inspection and maintenance planning, while extending the vessel’s lifetime through preventive actions to avoid hull damage. The increased transparency and control that the digital twin provides can even result in a competitive advantage by improving predictability. This makes the vessel more attractive to cargo owners, banks, insurance companies, class societies, vetting companies, investors, buyers and other stakeholders.

Sensors Create Synergies

“Using sensor technology to determine the response of a vessel or offshore structure to specific wave conditions, as well as to monitor structural and functional components, is common practice in the industry today”, says Ørjan Fredriksen, Senior Engineer, Technical Advisory Structures, who was the project manager for the Nerves of Steel Extraordinary Innovation Project. “Sensors can capture physical effects such as deformation, vibration or temperature under real-life conditions that cannot always be easily described by numerical models”, he adds. “But the number of sensors installed on board limits the number of data points available for monitoring. Considering the complexity of modern vessels and the interdependence between all their

Digital Twins.indd 45

Verifiable data quality is a key requirement of authorities and across the industry. components, comprehensive instrumentation can provide crucial insights.” Combining the data provided by these sensors with the vessel’s digital twin makes sensor-based hull condition predictions much more meaningful and accurate. It does this by extending the range of structural details accessible to monitoring. This may include any element considered during the design that may be critical during operation. Examples of typical fatiguecritical details on vessels are the stiffener end connections of frames and transverse bulkheads, stringer toes and heels, or terminations of hatch coamings. A hybrid monitoring approach as described above can also be helpful in determining the best sensor positions to ensure costeffective instrumentation. This concept has been applied successfully on assets of various types, including container vessels, FPSOs, semi-submersibles, flare towers, pipelines, and fixed platforms.

DNV GL is currently piloting the hull condition monitoring methodology, working together with several stakeholders in the maritime and oil and gas industries. The ambition is to enable owners to monitor their assets in real time, either through the innovative DNV GL Nerves of Steel user interface, which will be available on the DNV GL Veracity platform, or by using technology directly integrated in their own systems. Sensors are offered by hundreds of suppliers, but one wide-spread problem is data quality. If the data output of a sensing element cannot be trusted, it is useless in any decision-making process. “Verifiable data quality is a key requirement of authorities and across the industry”, explains Lars Holterud Aarsnes, Nerves of Steel Project Manager. The DNV GL rules for alternative survey arrangements state that “any sensor data used shall be qualityassured”. To facilitate the implementation of this rule, DNV GL provides a qualityassurance app for hull monitoring suppliers through its Veracity portal. The app’s data quality dashboard applies sensor-specific rules to verify the plausibility of the statistical data collected so it can be useful to the owner. The term sensor, for the purposes of this discussion, includes not only sensors in the narrow sense but also the output of transducers and indicators as well as numerical and hybrid sensing elements.

They require automatic on-board processing and storing of statistical data, which can be uploaded by the supplier to the Veracity cloud automatically or manually after conversion to the compact Veracity format. The quality dashboard then reads the data and presents it on a web interface. Any data quality issue is quickly evident, and data quality improvements following maintenance by the supplier can be confirmed by the system.

Building Trust in Data

Once the ship-owning company sees that the data is trustworthy, they can use it for decision support using the results dashboard. The leading provider of hull monitoring solutions has been feeding data to this data quality dashboard for many vessels and owners. In addition to this standard app for assessing the quality of statistical data, DNV GL has established a Data Management Competence Centre to support tailor-made solutions involving

We encourage owners to make better use of this valuable resource. alternative sensor types, data formats or dashboards. The data quality and decision support dashboards can be merged into a single one, which is frequently done to enhance awareness of the hull condition and take appropriate proactive steps to ensure safety and reduce operational risks and costs. This system can be used by all industries using statistical data for equipment monitoring, including oil & gas and wind energy, and for purposes far beyond structural monitoring, such as fuel and emission studies, navigation, or tail shaft

monitoring. Structural monitoring is quite common on FPSOs and gas carriers today. On cruise ships, yachts and passenger vessels, where excessive vibration can lead to passenger complaints and reputational damage, it can play an important role in comfort monitoring. “Amazingly”, says Dr Storhaug, “on average, as little as 1% of the data available on board has been used for shore-side decision support! We encourage owners to make better use of this valuable resource. In many cases, the benefits become more numerous and apparent once the data is available.” Mr Aarsnes stresses, “Being able to supply monitoring data while demonstrating high data quality builds trust among all key stakeholders, from charterers and operators to insurance companies, and can ultimately be a significant competitive advantage.” i. dnvgl.com

All photos cOurteSy OF damen

endo Shipping, in cooperation with Concordia Damen, has designed a completely new dry-cargo vessel which demonstrates Sendo Shipping’s long-term view; a vessel for the future. Sendo Shipping managing director Sebastiaan van der Meer says, “Sendo Liner’s design is driven by our findings over many years of research and experience. It showcases our long-term strategy and vision for the future and will enable us to achieve our goals of increased sustainability while considerably increasing our operational capabilities.”

Cargo Capacity

The vessel is fully optimised for the transportation of containers. The liner, measuring 110m x 11.4m, has the ability to carry additional containers in its cargo hold. Furthermore, it features an innovative ballast system which enables it to sit lower in the water to increase its available air draught at full loading when passing under the bridges it encounters on its route. In total, the Sendo Liner delivers an 8% increase in loading capacity relative to a conventional vessel of similar size.

Sustainable Credentials

Sendo Liner’s efficiency is not limited to increased capacity. thanks to its dieselelectric propulsion, the innovative newbuild can sail up to three hours with a speed of 12 to 13km/h without using any fossil fuel. Mr van der Meer comments, “This is ideal when shipping through the ports of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and even the crowded parts of the Prinses margriet canal.” The diesel-electric propulsion results in very low emissions, offering a reduction in cO2 of 40% per container transported. the engines are driven by one of the two Volvo Penta generators (435kWe each) and/ or the EST Floattech lithium-ion battery (560kWe).

Modular Design

“When designing Sendo Liner, we really started from zero and worked with a simulation program. With every added part we looked at what happened with the energy consumption”, says Mr van der Meer. “With this design, we prove that cargo vessels are not the big polluters people think. Inland shipping can be emission-free as well.”

Sendo Liner was named at the Concordia Damen shipyard in Werkendam, the Netherlands, on 15 February.

Sendo Liner’s efficiency is not limited to increased capacity.

The future-proofing of the Sendo Liner goes beyond its sustainable credentials and increased cargo capacity, however. The design is modular, thereby providing the vessel with the versatility for fast adaptation in the future, as well as easy maintenance. Mr van der Meer adds, “The vessel can easily be refitted to hydrogen, for example.”

More Under Construction

Sendo Shipping has already placed an order with Concordia Damen for the delivery of two similar vessels that are currently under construction. “It’s been a pleasure to work on a vessel as forward-thinking as this one”, says a press representative at Concordia Damen. “The Sendo Liner is, in many ways, a vessel that reflects our own philosophy for a more efficient, cleaner future on inland waterways. We wish Sendo Shipping every success with their new vessel and look forward to constructing similar vessels in the future.”

The vessel is fully optimised for the transportation of containers.

WORKBOATS, TUGS & SERVICE VESSELS

Enhancing Tug Safety DANISH MARINE SAFETY EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER, DANIAMANT, HAS LAUNCHED A VERSION OF ITS ELECTRONIC INCLINOMETER (EI) especially for tugs. This EI is an advanced heel-and-pitch measuring device that will enhance safety in line with Bureau Veritas Group’s recent classiﬁcation rules.

s of January 2019, Bureau Veritas’ classiﬁcation rules stipulate that escort tugboats must be equipped with a calibrated heeling angle measurement system, otherwise referred to as an inclinometer. This equipment must feature an adjustable audible and visible alarm which informs crews if the heeling angle or steady towline force exceeds permissible values applicable to the relevant loading conditions and escort speed. “With increasing pressure to optimise eﬃciency in the shipping and marine industry, and tugs and their crew operating in high risk conditions, meeting safety requirements is of the utmost importance”, comments Kevin Rough, CEO at Daniamant. “The new version of our EI for tugs, the DanEI-300T, has been designed to ensure that it has a multitude of features to comply with the most recent safety requirements. The sensor unit and a display combine advanced electronic technology and sophisticated mathematical algorithms to assist in improving the safety and ease of operation of escort and other tugboats.”

Sensors

The EI’s sensor features an advanced gyro micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) component, accelerometer MEMS component and a powerful microcontroller. Using complex algorithms, three rotation parameters (pitch, heel, yaw) and three acceleration parameters (surge, sway,

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

heave) can be accurately calculated. This data is then sent from the sensor to the display unit, where it can be retrieved via serial or Ethernet interface, in standard NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) format. The self-calibrating unit is easy to use and ﬁt and can be installed by tugboat crews. As position to the tugboat’s centreline is calculated automatically, the sensor does not require a special location.

User Interface

Daniamant has developed the user interface of the EI based on feedback from internationally recognised Canadian highperformance tugboat naval architects, Robert Allan Ltd. Using a traﬃc light system, crews can easily see the heeling of the tugboat and will be promptly alerted to the level of response required to return the vessel to the safety of the green zone. A clear alarm will sound when the display

The DanEI-300T Electronic Inclinometer display for tugboats.

changes from green to amber, signalling momentary heel and an imminent need for response. An additional alarm will be triggered when the display enters into the red zone, signalling the need to reduce the heel immediately as it has exceeded the safe limits of stability. The range of each zone can be entered and adjusted easily via the keypad on the front of the display. In closing, the DanEI-300T measures the heeling angle of the vessel in real time, updating every 0.1 seconds to ensure data is collected continuously in the display unit. This ensures that an immediate response can be made to rectify a potentially dangerous situation and means that a maritime investigation authority can get detailed information on the sequence of events in the case of an accident. i. daniamant.com

ithin the overarching theme of europort this year – ‘special ships, smart solutions’ – the conference programme and exhibition will be focusing on smart solutions that also develop business models, addressing cost, safety and environmental challenges in the specialpurpose vessels market.

Disruptive Influence

the shipping industry is changing. blockchain, the Internet of things (Iot), artificial Intelligence (aI) and big data are some of the developments that are bringing about this change. the impact of new legislation, new roles and new actors may not, and cannot, be ignored either. still, the focus must remain on the profit motive that truly drives these ‘disruptive’ influences on the market. this is why europort 2019 has made ‘smart business’

one of its central themes. When it comes to smart business, the digitalisation of the industry does, in fact, offer prospects in the areas of greater operational efficiency, reduced emissions, safer navigation and easier compliance. the sub-theme smart business is based on results in a broad sense, ranging from new ways to harness fleet performance and energy management to smart tools enabling better financial and tax planning. metIs cybertech has already shown particular interest in smart business. the greek company has developed a cyber ‘personal assistant’ for vessel monitoring and management. chief executive at metIs cybertech, mike Konstantinidis says, “the biggest problem for the shipping industry that aI can solve is the most obvious one – maximising profits. In maritime, it is all about using minimum resources to ensure

the maximum efficiency of engines, optimising routes, improving cost-effective operation of equipment onboard and, of course, minimising fuel consumption.”

Programme Highlights

at europort 2019, visitors will be able to explore the potential held by aI, remotely operated vessels, evolving blockchain logistics and other developments to change the maritime sector forever. one of the significant highlights at europort 2019 will be the 19th mare forum ship finance congress on 6 november, which will examine smart investments for shipowners, classification societies and the maritime community through collaboration with financial institutions. during the exhibition, top professionals will also share their knowledge and experiences at four inspiring europort masterclasses, jointly organised by rotterdam ahoy and netherlands maritime technology. one of these is the masterclass ‘optimising efficiency of short sea operations’, in which short sea industry experts present their vision on short sea operations in the future. they will zoom in on what innovations are needed to optimise the efficiency of short sea operations and how digitalisation will help the industry in this process. another highlight is the marine Industry 4.0 conference. this conference, organised by the royal Institution of naval architects (rIna) on 5 november, will explore how new innovations in digital technology will transform the maritime sector, ushering in a fourth industrial revolution.

Rebuilding the Titanic AustrAliAn entrepreneur Clive pAlmer hAs CAptured the world’s imAginAtion ever sinCe he AnnounCed in April 2012 thAt his shipping company, Blue star line, would recreate the famous rms titanic. while every bit as luxurious as her namesake, titanic ii will incorporate modern technology and navigation methods, and have more lifeboats. “

illions have dreamt of sailing her, seeing her in port and experiencing her unique majesty”, mr palmer says. “titanic ii will be the ship which makes those dreams come true.’’

Exact Replica

The newbuild will be a faithful reproduction of the original vessel and follow the original journey, carrying passengers from southampton to new York. under supervision of a history research team, the new design features the same interiors and cabin layouts as the original vessel, combined with 21st-century technology to produce the highest level of comfort. it will have replicated dining rooms and restaurants, cabin rooms and interiors. the First Class, second Class and third Class categories of the original titanic will be mimicked as well. there will be no phones or televisions and the Blue star Line management is still debating whether to make Internet access available. titanic ii will be the same length as her namesake, but a few metres wider to provide additional stability. The 2,435-passenger vessel will carry almost exactly the same number of people on board.

Extra Lifeboats

The replica will be almost identical to the original, but with air-conditioning, vastly improved navigation and safety technology and extra lifeboats on board. mr palmer elaborates, “we have raised the bridge by 1.3m and that means we can now look over the bow, which was not possible on the original titanic.” markku Kanerva, director of sales at Deltamarin, continues, “We have also included a new safety deck to include all the safety features, fully enclosed motorised lifeboats and so on.” The original coal-fired boilers and steam engines are being replaced by a diesel-electric propulsion system with four

These include the SOLAS 2020 requirements and the Energy Efficiency design index (eedi). lloyd’s register will be responsible for reviewing the drawings, calculations and studies for Titanic II to ensure compliance with modern standards. Deltamarin is additionally responsible for coordinating the various parties involved in the rebuild, including shipyards, architects, interior designers and operation managers. “we at deltamarin are excited to be a part of Blue Star Line’s ambitious project where the aim is to build a second titanic and make history again”, says Janne Uotila, managing director at deltamarin. marine architecture and interior design company tillberg design of sweden will help bring the grand vision further to life. Fredrik Johansson, Owner / Executive Project director of tillberg design comments, “we are very excited by the prospect of bringing the development of the design of the Titanic II to a successful completion.’’ Along with the project’s other partners, including deltamarin and tillberg design, v.ships leisure will provide technical and hotel cruise operation insight and support as the official ship management services

The final choice of who will built Titanic II depends on due diligence at a number of shipbuilders. i. bluestarline.com.au i. deltamarin.com

Pending Construction

the original liner was built by harland and Wolff in Belfast, but Titanic II will probably be China-built. one of the shipyards currently under consideration is CSC Jinling shipyard. the shipyard, located in nanjing China, has never built a large passenger vessel like this one before, but as vice director of Jinling shipyard Zhang Qiying states, “our shipyard will be well prepared from the technical and management aspects to meet this challenge.” He continues, “We hope to build a cruise vessel just like the one that was built 110 years ago, but more advanced, more comfortable and safer.”

Another Titanic Besides titanic ii, there is another replica underway in China. At the romandisea seven star International Cultural Tourism Resort, located between Chengdu and Chongqing in the sichuan province, a real-size titanic is being constructed on site. this vessel is expected to be completed between late 2019 and early 2020.

350 containers, including the pipework between storage and engine. wayne jones oBe, chief sales officer and member of the executive Board of man energy solutions, says, “man cryo will install an entire gas system to supply gas not only to the main engine but also the auxiliary engines, including a man energy solutions 300-bar high-pressure pump vaporizer system (pvu).” the emission savings for man B&w twostroke engines are significant when converting an existing Hfo engine to Lng. using Lng in the shipping industry could reduce co2 emissions by 15% to 20% and sulphur dioxide and particulate matter by more than 90%.

richard von Berlepsch, managing director fleet management at Hapag-Lloyd. “with this unprecedented pilot, we hope to learn for the future and to pave the way for large vessels to be retrofitted to use this alternative fuel.” mr jones concludes, “we are seeing great interest in this project from the industry as a whole. this is an excellent showcase for the conversion of a mega-container vessel to Lng and the potential benefits for the market is huge.” i. man-es.com

“By converting mv sajir, we will be the first shipping company to retrofit a container vessel of this size to Lng propulsion”, adds
