welcome
Exciting Times New arrivals iN the shipbuildiNg world are usually welcomed oNto the seas by smashiNg a bottle of champagNe agaiNst the hull. while i geNerally applaud aNy welcome that involves champagne, i was rather relieved that my arrival in the team of shipbuilding industry didn’t include any bottles thrown at me. Instead, I was given the opportunity to write this welcome note to introduce myself and, of course, the contents of this new edition. This truly is a magazine filled with novelties. It features the launch of the world’s first polar class 6 cruise ship, as well as the largest crane vessel ever built, which is also one of the world’s first LNG-powered construction vessels. Further, semi-submersible heavy-lift vessel BOKA Vanguard has recently been part of a world-first operation involving lifting a cruise ship out of the water and acting as a mobile drydock for repairs. And, what is truly impressive, is the amount of effort currently being made to build vessels that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Amid all of these fascinating developments, there are new software solutions, new communications technologies and exciting plans for the upcoming Europort 2019. The industry’s leading maritime conference will be introducing the safety4sea europort awards and unveiling a new Underwater Works Pavilion. All in all, I think this is the perfect time to open a nice, chilled bottle of champagne to celebrate the wonderful developments in this exciting industry of ours. So please join me in raising a glass to fair winds and following seas for all the vessels highlighted in this edition, and to the smooth sailing of my editorial career at shipbuilding industry. cheers!

news in brief Alfa Laval Secures Deal with Ballast Water Treatment Turkish Shipowner Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) Group has signed a fleet agreement for Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 systems, valued at approximately EUR 20 million. Alfa Laval’s comprehensive offering in ballast water treatment was a key factor for the group. “We were convinced not only by the PureBallast 3 technology, but also by the total support offered to us by Alfa Laval,” says Simge Shipping shipowner Mr Murat Er, who leads Turkish Shipowners BWT Group. “Alfa Laval’s strong presence and well-developed portfolio of services in ballast water treatment will mean peace of mind for Turkish Shipowners BWT Group vessels in complying with the regulations.”
European Space Agency to Partner with One Sea Alliance
Eleven major shipping banks, representing a bank loan portfolio to global shipping of approximately EUR 89 billion, will for the first time integrate climate considerations into lending decisions to incentivise maritime shipping’s decarbonisation under the name the ‘Poseidon Principles’. Consistent with the policies and ambitions of the Initial GHG Strategy adopted in April 2018 by member states of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the strategy prescribes that GHG emissions from international shipping must peak as soon as possible and that the industry must reduce the total annual GHG emissions by at least 50% of 2008 levels by 2050, with a strong emphasis on zero emissions.
European Space Agency (ESA) and One Sea Alliance have signed a Memorandum of Intent (MoI) covering future collaboration and bringing together leading exponents of autonomous ship technology. The agreement sets out objectives to encourage the development of space-based applications to analyse, enable and implement maritime digitalisation and autonomy using latest generation connectivity. Jukka MerenLuoto of One Sea Alliance, says: “Expertise from different disciplines is necessary to transform today’s connectivity capabilities for tomorrow’s needs, and this MoI represents a unique opportunity.”

news in brief DNV GL Delivers Drone-Based Inspections with Ultrasonic Steel Thickness Measurements Specialist surveyors, DNV GL heralds a new era of inspections with its drone-based method that delivers both visual inspections and ultrasonic steel thickness measurements. Developed in response to customer enquiries, drone-based inspections are far quicker (eliminating the need for rafting, roping or staging). Using an off the shelf drone fixed with an in-house engineered attachment frame, the drone method is fast and cost-efficient. “We have successfully tested the new thickness measurement drone on an MPV, some bulk carriers and a shuttle tanker”, says Tomasz Oledzki, Head of Section Fleet in Service (FiS) Poland at DNV GL ‒ Maritime. “The results are very positive – the system works well and delivers reliable data.”
Sunstone Cruise Ships Rely on ProfiSeal Technology The new range of cruise ships from American company Sunstone Ships have been fitted with fireproof bulkhead seals manufactured by German company Profiseal. Designed to ensure a fire in the engine room cannot spread further throughout the ship, carbon dioxide is released inside the actual fitting, suffocating the fire at that point, and protecting the seal rings. Profiseal’s fireproof bulkhead seals are the only ones in the world made to internationallyrecognised Class A-60, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 950°C.
Yara Birkeland to Feature Automated Mooring Solution Yara Birkeland is the world’s first autonomous and zero-emission container vessel to feature an innovative new automated mooring solution. Kongsberg Maritime has entered an agreement with MacGregor, part of Cargotec, to deliver an automated mooring solution that will enable mooring operations to be undertaken without human intervention. It also supports effective operation of the fully electric, zero emission vessel. “We worked very closely with Kongsberg to identify the most suitable mooring solution and are proud to have developed an innovative, fullyelectrical system which increases safety and eco-efficiency compared with conventional mooring solutions”, says Høye Høyesen, Vice President of Advanced Offshore Solutions at MacGregor. | Read more on shipbuilding-industry.eu

news in brief Schottel Rudder EcoPeller Shores Up Ferry Segment Since introducing its azimuth Rudder EcoPeller SRE to the market three years ago, Schottel, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of propulsion and steering systems for ships and offshore applications, has been recognised for supplying highly efficient and ecologically clean propulsion while also meeting the strict environmental regulations of the Norwegian market. As a result, the company has achieved a top market position there by providing propulsion systems for sixteen ferries in various power ratings. The SRE has also successfully entered the merchant vessel segment, with a plan for a Chinese oil tanker recently turning into an order for a propulsion package, complete with a Schottel Transverse Thruster. At the same time, the SRE’s wide range of applications has earned an order for an ice-going beacon vessel that will handle multiple tasks in the Asian offshore business, and the SRE is now garnering increasing attention in navy and governmental applications, too, outperforming other propulsion systems on the market in terms of overall performance.
Stauff Connect Forming System Receives DNV GL Certificate The DNV GL Group marine classification company has tested the Stauff Form system and approved it for maximum operating pressures of up to 800 bar. The approval applies to operation with hydraulic oil and lubricating oil, but also with heavy oil, compressed air, oxygen, steam, freshwater and seawater. The DNV GL testers performed leak, burst pressure and bend pressure cycle pulse tests and tested the components under vacuum, subjected to severe vibrations and also their fire resistance. The certificate documents that these tests were passed successfully.
Thordon’s Emergency Inflatable Seal Prevents Sinking Thordon Bearings, designer and manufacturer of journal bearing and seal systems for marine, clean power generation, pump and other industrial markets, reports that activation of its inflatable emergency seal prevented a 21m-long workboat from sinking in February 2019, following multiple shaft failures that damaged the vessel’s primary shaft seal. With the starboard shaft ’s primary TG100 seal heavily damaged after the vessel suffered catastrophic tail shaft failure in shallow waters, the crew managed to activate the TG100’s emergency secondary seal, which inflated as designed to re-seal the shaft. The vessel was the very first workboat to be fitted with a TG100 seal in 2011.

BIG DATA
Over 95% of the vessels that we monitor do not sail as they were designed to. digitalisation through data integration has the potential to contribute to achieving the sustainability and circularity goals at the core of the european maritime sector, for example, educating vessels on propeller efficiency. During design, the most optimal combination of propeller dimensions, pitch and vessel speed is selected. but in real life, the vessel often sails much slower. this is good for absolute fuel consumption, but bad news for component efficiency. although sailing at slower speeds reduces fuel consumption it often results in an increased specific fuel consumption (sfoc, in grammes per kiloWatthour) of the engines. the vessel would be able to burn less if there is a match between design and speed.
95% of the vessels monitored do not sail as they were designed to.
“one of the things we discovered is that over 95% of the vessels that we monitor do not sail as they were designed to”, says Dan veen, co-founder of We4sea. “Most vessels sail at lower speeds than designed, meaning engines and propellers are running outside of their design specifications.”
The concept behind using We4Sea’s big data is to enable customers to monitor and report on any vessel, therefore making better decisions on all aspects of their operations.

BIG DATA
Although sailing at slower speeds reduces fuel consumption it often results in an increased Specific Fuel Consumption of the engines.
Faella, Head of Strategic Business Development at Marlink. “Our global, high bandwidth data connectivity enables We4Sea to efficiently collect data that further optimises the already 98% accuracy of its ‘no CAPEX, no sensors, no port visit’ digital twin fuel and emissions monitoring algorithms, helping the maritime industry to meet requirements under the 2020 sulphur cap.”
Controlling Ship Emissions
The concept behind using We4Sea’s big data is to enable customers to monitor and report on any vessel, therefore making better decisions on all aspects of their operations, from technical to logistical and operational. In turn, partnering with We4Sea enables Marlink to pilot, evaluate and continue joint development of its new solutions and tools that support global maritime companies to meet the latest environmental and health standards. The concept of green shipping itself aims to balance efficient shipping with minimal ecological damage and clean practices. The control of ship emissions is estimated to contribute towards reducing air pollution by 50% in 2050, while enabling lower bunker costs so that shipping companies can stay competitive. “We see a clear demand from our customers to deliver fuel efficiency solutions”, says

utch company oceanwide expeditions specialises in expedition-style voyages to Polar regions, including antarctica and the arctic. deploying its own fleet of icestrengthened vessels, oceanwide emphasises small-scale, flexible tours that provide passengers close contact with polar wildlife, landscapes, and historical sites. tours are usually in regions only accessible by sea, with little to no local infrastructure. at first reached by ship, expedition guides take small groups of passengers to landing sites by way of Zodiac Milpro RiBs enabling safe cruising and maximum time. surpassing the requirements of the Polar code adopted by the international Maritime organization (iMo), oceanwide expedition’s new cruise ship hondius represents one of the most flexible, advanced, innovative touring vessels in the polar regions, thoroughly optimised for exploratory voyages that provide you the utmost first-hand contact with the arctic and antarctica. Built by Brodosplit shipyard and handed over in split harbour, in croatia to netherlands-based oceanwide expeditions in May, the 107.6m cruise ship reaches a top speed of 15kts provided by two main engines with a total power of 4,260kW. accommodating up to 196 passengers in a total of 85 cabins, its large internal volume also provides space for 70 crewmembers. the range of onboard amenities vary through categories of cabins, from spacious apartments to double and four-bed cabins (ideal for families). each cabin provides multiple secured systems for a safe and comfortable experience, all of which has been designed in-house at Brodosplit.

uroport 2019 has finalised the most extensive conference and events programme in its history, adding a number of elements that will ensure that this year’s edition of the biennial maritime and offshore gathering in Rotterdam is more thought-provoking than ever before. Paramount in leading the discussion on human capital is the involvement and development of young talent, and a major part of Europort’s events programme is structured around sharing new insights and investing in people’s expertise that reflect changing business needs.
Education and Knowledge Exchange
One of the most eagerly awaited additions to proceedings in 2019 will be the new Safety4Sea Europort Awards, which will highlight achievements in smart, green and safe solutions, as well as career excellence in shipping. Awards will be presented in these four categories on successive Europort days.
Tools for cutting, welding and other manual labour that are used below the surface, as well as drones, ROV’s, diving outfits and materials at the cutting edge of technology can all be found here, alongside experts who can provide assistance and advice on specific areas. The highlight of the new pavilion is a large dive tank, which
In addition to looking at key elements, such as human resource management, recruitment strategies and new operational skills, the opportunity to knowledge exchange at Europort is not to be missed. Another new element at this year’s event is the Underwater Works Pavilion. This is where suppliers to diving, inspection and salvage companies as well as companies that manufacture, design or supply materials that can be used in high pressure environments can be located.

EUROPORT ROTTERDAM 2019 exhibitors will use to give on-site demonstrations.
Educate and Inspire
Attended by a diverse mix of industry professionals, from ship owners and shipyard managers to designers, brokers, technical engineers and naval architects, the event provides access to experienced maritime professionals that are involved in shipbuilding, repair or conversion. For the upcoming generation, it’s an invaluable chance to understand both existing techniques and new approaches in a firsthand environment. The educational Europort Masterclasses, jointly organised by Rotterdam Ahoy and Netherlands Maritime Technology, aim to inspire and educate in an enjoyable and informative way. One masterclass takes place on each of the four exhibition days, and this year the selected topics are: – Naval innovations as a source of inspiration; – Maritime solutions for offshore renewable energy; – Optimising the efficiency of short sea operations; – Reducing the carbon footprint of ferries and cruise ships. Europort will also host several matchmaking events, to connect prospective business partners and highlight emerging opportunities. Marimatch Europort takes place on 6-7 November and the KVK Business Challenge on 7 November. Raymond Siliakus, Europort Exhibition Manager, comments: “The breadth and depth of our programme is our unique selling point. For anyone active in the special purpose ship segment, Europort offers the chance to take part in a wide range of events that will deepen knowledge, extend networks and open up business opportunities.”
The many initiatives include Young Maritime Representatives, who are under the spotlight during Europort’s opening ceremony and report through their own channels on personal experiences from the exhibition floor. The Future Generation of Shipping seminar features three speakers and one host organised by YoungShip Rotterdam and is followed by a networking drink plus a low-key quiz on the speakers, while the Career4Sea Europort New Generation Award is given to individuals who have achieved a career milestone in shipping or have acted as a role model to attract new talent to the industry.
Looking to the Future
A key highlight are the student pitches, which see students from different schools work together with companies on innovative projects and research. These projects are executed by multidisciplinary teams of students with a background in, for example, maritime technology and mechanical engineering. A broad variety of technical vocational, higher education institutes and universities participate, hailing from Rotterdam and the surrounding municipalities. Collaboration and new partnerships, by way of academic research, start-ups and innovation labs that embrace social responsibility is what is required to keep the maritime industry moving forward.
Europort 2019 Europort is one of the world’s leading maritime meeting places and focuses on special-purpose vessels and the smart solutions which drive success. From 5 to 8 November 2019, over 27,000 professional visitors and 1,111 exhibiting companies from 40 different countries will be attending Europort 2019 in Rotterdam for strategic cooperation and technological partnerships with like-minded ‘smart’ businesses.
Networking forms the foundation of this and is at the heart of Europort’s programme. The Start-Up Plaza provides a stage for start-ups, accelerators and incubators that can transform the industry and give rise to tomorrow’s leading firms. This is further supported by the On Stage format, whereby exhibitors give 20-minute presentations each day on topics relevant to their particular expertise. The end result is strengthened engagement with the emerging younger generation of maritime professionals, and the chance to network with like-minded peers. Exhibitors also have the chance to showcase cutting-edge developments and ideas that can have a direct impact on the growth and progression of the industry. i. europort.nl
Involving Young Talent
Alongside the Masterclasses, which are targeted at all levels and ages, Europort has established #YoungEuroport to involve and encourage younger participants across all parts of the maritime industry to realise their true potential through a structured programme of socialising, networking and continuous education. The initiative aims to provide a platform for gaining knowledge, getting access to industry leaders and networking with global industry peers.

he boka Vanguard (formerly dockwise Vanguard) is the world’s largest semisubmersible heavy lift ship, owned and operated by Royal boskalis westminster. because boka Vanguard is able to carry cargoes up to 110,000t, boskalis confirmed in July 2019 that it had been awarded a contract by carnival cruise line to lift cruise ship carnival Vista out of the water onto the boka Vanguard. the ship was transported to a shipyard facility for a dry-docking operation. the initiative was pitched as a world first operation, and took place in freeport, bahamas.
The watertight deck allows water to flow over the deck without any risk to the ship.
carnival Vista is the second largest cruise ship in the carnival fleet with a capacity of nearly 4,000 passengers and a length in excess of 300m. due to technical issues with carnival Vista’s azipods (the ship’s main propulsion system), the vessel needed to be repaired in a dry dock, but none were available in the ship’s region. carnival Vista was loaded onto the boka Vanguard off the coast of freeport, bahamas. it was then safely transported to a nearby shipyard facility where the repairs were undertaken

The BOKA Vanguard is the world’s largest semi-submersible heavy lift ship, owned and operated by Royal Boskalis Westminster.
while the boka Vanguard served as a mobile dry dock. upon completion, carnival Vista was offloaded in time for its next cruise.
The BOKA Vanguard
the semi-submersible heavy lift ship was designed by dockwise in conjunction with finland-based deltamarin. it was originally designed to move offshore oil and gas facilities, but is capable of also carrying other ships and can act as an offshore dry dock facility. as offshore oil and gas facilities have grown in size, dockwise has responded to market demands for a ship that can carry the largest floating oil rigs to their destinations, reducing time and costs of transportation and allowing rigs to be built economically in a shipyard. following the take-over by boskalis, the vessel now operates under the name boka Vanguard. unusually, boka Vanguard has a flat bowless deck measuring 70 by 275m, allowing cargo longer and wider than the deck. the bridge and living area superstructure is situated at the far starboard side, and the deck also contains four movable buoyancy casings. the watertight deck allows water to flow over the deck without any risk to

the ship, and she can accommodate up to 40 crew. as a semi-submersible, boka Vanguard can lift ships or rigs out of the water, as well as place them into water. by filling its ballast tanks, the ship deck is submerged in a controlled manner lying up to 16m below the surface, allowing it to lift deep draught cargoes. loads can then be floated above the deck, and the ballast tanks emptied allowing boka Vanguard to lift and transport cargoes up to 110,000t. she can also be loaded from a dockside, with large cargoes loaded by skidding them on tracks.
this creates an alternative to dry docking allowing inspections and repairs to be safely and efficiently conducted at a location where traditional dry dock facilities are not available. i. boskalis.com

elebrity Flora, the first seagoing cruise ship built in the Netherlands in recent years was successfully delivered to Celebrity Cruises (a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd) in Amsterdam in May 2019, before sailing to Ecuador in South America where the naming ceremony took place in June. Having recently completed successful sea trials, the 100-passenger ship will embark on year-round cruises to the Galapagos Islands, beginning in Baltra – one of the smaller islands of the Galapagos – at the start of the 2019 cruise season.
Celebrity Flora during her recent successful sea trials.
Against All Odds
Headquartered in Lobith, in Holland, Shipyard De Hoop has slipway facilities for vessels up to 200m, a combined quay length of 450m locally and a further 200m in the Rotterdam harbour area available for outfitting. When paired with its accumulated experience of technically advanced features on high-end offshore vessels and combined with its knowledge of developing luxury cruise interiors (for smaller inland cruise vessels), De Hoop was an obvious choice of shipyard for Celebrity Cruise’s new vessel. According to De Hoop’s CEO, Patrick Janssens, Celebrity Flora arrived at the ideal time for entering the growing market of expedition cruise vessels, as well as presented a great opportunity for the Dutch shipbuilding industry as a whole.
Regulations Compliance
Celebrity Flora has been designed in close collaboration with Celebrity Cruises and co-

contractors to ensure the vessel provides a fresh perspective for marine exploration of the Galapagos Islands. With the aim of ensuring that guests are fully immersed in the environment, rather than simply observing, Celebrity Flora has been optimised for the open water experience in both warmer and diverse climates. Celebrity Flora is also the first vessel to be built according to the latest probabilistic damage stability regulations and therefore already complies with the relevant Rules and Regulations for 2020; this is supplemented with De Hoop’s compliance with a two-compartment damage stability regulation. Celebrity Flora is both designed and Lloyd’s classed for worldwide service, and crucially also commits to Galapagos
National Park Directorate Regulations, whereby specific environmentally lowimpact features have been applied. Combined with a zero-speed stabiliser system, Celebrity Flora also features a dynamic positioning system. this allows her to perform efficiently when stationary in water without physically anchoring and damaging the sea floor, and significantly improving passenger comfort.

rudder propellers, two bow thrusters and other consumers, is supplied by four caterpillar C32 diesel generator sets. the diesel engines are equipped with an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) installation, whereby the emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx) is greatly reduced. the rudder propellers, type 20 CRP of 1,450kW each, were supplied by Steerprop from Finland, while the 400kW bow thrusters are provided by veth from the Netherlands. With this configuration a 12-knot cruising speed can easily be achieved, and a highmanoeuvrability is guaranteed. An advanced propulsion system, the hull configuration (improved with CFD calculations) and the specially developed diesel engine arrangement improve Celebrity Flora’s energy efficiency too, guaranteeing an average 25% reduction in hull resistance, 15% reduction of fuel consumption and equivalently fewer exhaust emissions. these characteristics make this cruise ship one of the most energy-efficient ships in its class, in addition to being IMO tier III compliant. to further reduce its environmental footprint, Celebrity Flora accommodates an

enhanced sewage plant to improve the quality and reduce the amount of wastewater; an improved HvAC system (to cope with the warmer seawater and higher outside air temperatures of the Galapagos) and improved thermal insulation (thanks to energy-efficient low-emissive glazing) leads to 50% less energy consumption.
Design in Motion
When it comes to exterior design, Celebrity Flora’s sophisticated bow shape – featuring a straight, wave-piercing stem, with an integrated bulb – both reduces resistance in waves when in transit and saves energy when staying in position, just like the higher efficiency of the bow thruster. Aside from its state-of-the-art design and use of eco-friendly technology, the vessel will feature expansive and highly luxurious accommodation. the raw materials for carpentry, upholstery, finishing and decorations of all eight accommodation decks consist of sustainable, natural, regionally inspired materials. A total of 50 staterooms are divided over decks 5 and 6, accommodating up to 100 passengers, and each featuring generous bathrooms, connected to the
outside world through outward-facing layouts and integrated balconies. All of the vessel’s luxurious cabins – two penthouse suites (the largest in the Galapagos, with separate indoor and outdoor living areas), two royal suites, one ultimate sky suite, seven premium sky suites, sixteen sky suites and twenty-two sky suites with veranda – feature full room automation that allows passengers to control everything at the touch of a button. A further 52 cabins accommodate up to 80 crew members and personal suite attendants. “Celebrity Flora marks another example of our revolutionary ship design by allowing the destination and its environment to influence every decision we’ve made”, says Lisa LutoffPerlo, President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. “From the luxurious all-suite accommodations to industry-first, ecofriendly innovations, we created a ship that brings a new level of luxury, sustainability and natural exploration to the region.

On deck 3, a RIB garage with hydraulic hull doors, hatches and dedicated cranes is provided for storage of the tenders. to allow for swift and unseen provisioning logistics by the crew, to starboard side – near the dry, cool and freeze stores in the fore ship – a loading bay is provided. this unique RIB handling, in combination with the dedicated stern boarding facilities for passengers, is the key feature of Celebrity Flora’s design.
Further Design Features
Celebrity Flora’s transom features integrated aft stairs, combined with a foldout stern platform with special boarding facilities, to allow safe and easy boarding for the passengers. the Marina, the embarkation area located aft on deck 3, is the primary point of access to the ship and the guests
will be brought on board over water, in one of three available RIBs. It can accommodate up to three Zodiacs at once, reducing transport time to and from land and allowing more time for guests to explore the practically untouched islands. Additionally, both time and finances have been invested by De Hoop in an effort to increase passenger comfort, by decreasing noise and vibrations. Floating floors, flexibly mounted equipment and anti-vibration panels in walls and ceilings all help to optimise the passenger experience. With Comfort Class 1 notation achieved (the highest possible Class notation), quiet and comfortable passenger areas are assured. In addition, thorough wind tunnel tests on the vessel’s superstructure shape ensure passengers on deck will not be subjected to exhaust gasses. i. www.dehoop.net i. www.celebritycruises.co.uk

riese Schiffahrts is a company with a vision, expanding its management of specialist project cargo and heavylift ships in support of ambitious fleet growth plans. To support its strategy and ensure its new and existing fleet are connected to shore 24/7, Briese selected the global Ku-band VSAT service from Globecomm Maritime. The working relationship between Globecomm and Briese goes back sixteen years to the provision of the first narrowband satcom systems and has, since then, relied on consistent service provision, competitive pricing and strong after-sales support. As technology has evolved, through higher speed L-Band systems to the agreement to supply the VSAT service, Globecomm has remained a trusted partner. “Our communications strategy goes back some years to a company meeting that discussed the challenge of attracting and retaining good crew”, says Holger Börchers, IT-Manager at Briese Schiffahrts. “Nowadays you hear this story widely, but back then there was less recognition that it was about more than just the salary, we had to improve crew welfare by keeping them in touch with their friends and families.” Briese operates sophisticated multi-purpose vessels, some with heavy lift capacity and moveable decks – a task that is carried out by the crew not by stevedores – meaning it must acquire and retain well-trained and highly competent sea staff.
Getting Crew Onboard
From the first installation, Briese crew saw the value in the technology, prompting successive upgrades to meet the growing demand for bandwidth. Crew internet access is included as a benefit in kind, with Briese paying the airtime bill and issuing vouchers for crew with unlimited data, subject to a fair use policy. “My argument to management has always been this: don’t think of it as just a cost, think of it as being an additional seafarer on board who takes care of the welfare of the other guys”, Mr Börchers adds. “Having Globecomm VSAT on board makes managing
s h i p b u i l d i n g - i n d u str y.eu
Globecomm.indd 31
demand for crew communications and our business communications simpler and more efficient.” Globecomm VSAT is a high-capacity, end-toend VSAT service integrating premium shipboard hardware and monitoring tools to provide maximum service performance across the broadest coverage footprint. Built, managed and supported by Globecomm, the service supports a broad range of applications over a robust, scalable, managed network designed specifically to deliver shared services and private networks to customers in maritime and energy markets. Crew access is prepaid via the Nimbus smartbox and the service supports a full ‘Bring Your Own Device’ experience via selected Wi-Fi Access Points. Added value services include firewall and content filtering, advanced email management, a prepaid crew management portal (with proactive network monitoring and support) and 24/7 global support.
Delivering Specialist Applications Ship-shore connectivity is not all about crew welfare; Briese’s specialist vessels are also driving increased demand for applications, such as navigation chart data, with the use of other applications expected to increase in future. Using Nimbus together with its Cirrus shoreside portal enables Briese to segregate network traffic and employ performance monitoring and enhanced safety services in a cyber secure environment. Working with the Globecomm development team in Munich, Briese has developed a system for automatically updating ECDIS navigation chart data with specially-defined firewall permissions. Another benefit of using Nimbus is that whenever Briese needs to install a new PC it can be pre-configured and delivered ready to use, avoiding the need to follow a complicated network or software set-up by the crew. Describing Briese as ‘a large fleet with a small IT department’, Mr Börchers says the company’s aim is to get all its ships

Creating Increased Visibility
“When you have a fleet of 132 ships you need visibility. The next step will be for us to have better access to the vessel systems”, says Mr Börchers. “It’s hard for a small IT department to monitor everything that is happening, but we want to be able to respond beforehand, not just after we are aware of any problems.”
available to vessels at sea. That’s the next step; to be truly online in real time.”
Supporting a global roll-out
Long-time Globecomm customer Briese Schiffahrts is undertaking a programme of fleet renewal, constructing a series of eight ‘Open Top Eco 5000’ multi-purpose vessels designed to consume 30% less fuel but with increased crane and cargo capacity.
Asked what he would like to see from vessel communications in future, Mr Börchers mentions the usual items of better value and higher bandwidth but says the overriding need is for better access to Briese’s assets.
The first of four ships was christened in mid-April 2018 at Zhejiang Zengzhou Shipbuilding Co with three more of the 90m, 3415gt, Dutch flag, ice-class 1A ships slated for delivery later in 2019. Another new build, the project cargo carrier BBC Russia – a sistership to the 12,500dwt Jan – was delivered from Jiangsu Hongqiang Marine Heavy Industry in April 2018.
“For us, the target is to make it possible to connect vessels in real time to the office using our in-house software solution”, he says. “With higher quality and more reliable VSAT bandwidth we would like to see that
Briese is engaged on a global roll-out of the Globecomm VSAT system across its owned and managed fleet, upgrading L-Band systems on a continuous basis to around 60% of vessels to date. The Leer-based

uisman, founded in 1929, is a worldwide operating company delivering step changing technical solutions to world’s leading companies in the oil and gas, renewables, leisure and civil industries. In April 2019 it announced receipt of a contract for the design, engineering, construction and delivery of the main crane on Jan De Nul’s newest offshore wind turbine installation vessel Voltaire. Unique in its size, capacity and novel features, the crane will allow efficient installation of the next generation of offshore wind turbines. While Voltaire will be built by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry in China (Jan De Nul’s third Offshore Jack-Up Installation Vessel to be built at the yard) the Huisman crane will be built in Huisman’s own production facility in Xiamen, P.R. of China and installed at the shipyard. With an unrivalled crane capacity of over 3,000t and an evenly unrivalled lifting height, the jackup vessel will be able to support the renewable energy industry to build future wind farms at sea. It is scheduled for delivery in 2022.
Future-Proofing Vessels
The next generation of offshore wind turbines are being developed by the global offshore wind industry to be more than 270m high and fitted with blades up to 120m long. However, due to the turbines’ sizes and installation heights, as well as the ever-increasing foundation dimensions, offshore installation vessels currently available on the market are facing increasing difficulties to install these types of turbines. This is where the new Huisman-crane steps

in – future-proofing the market for further developments. Voltaire will be equipped with the biggest leg encircling crane ever installed on a wind turbine installation vessel and together with its fly jib will have the highest lifting height in the world. Since 1984, Huisman has successfully delivered more than 224 heavy lift offshore cranes with capacities ranging from 300 up to 10,000mt. This extensive track record in building novel solutions provides the basis on which Huisman is capable of successfully delivering stepchanging lifting technology. Primary examples of this are Huisman’s unique
segmented slew bearing design, significantly reducing the weight of the crane, and the crane’s fully electric drive system, which was first introduced in the 1980’s. This contract between Jan De Nul and Huisman is the second to date, following a project to develop and produce the world’s largest monopile gripper for Jan De Nul’s Vole au vent wind turbine installation vessel. This project was awarded mid 2018 and will be delivered in 2019. Joop Roodenburg, President of Huisman, comments: “As the next generation wind turbines are becoming bigger and bigger, we

keep on pioneering to develop novel and innovative solutions to install these turbines. We are therefore extremely happy with the confidence and trust that Jan De Nul placed in Huisman by awarding us with this second contract.”
First of its Kind
Voltaire is specifically designed to transport, lift and install offshore wind turbines, transition pieces and foundations. The vessel will have better operational limits compared to the existing Jack-Up installation vessels and will be deployable for the oil and gas industry, as well as for the
s h i p b u i l d i n g - i n d u str y.eu

80m, a payload of about 14,000t and accommodation for 100 persons. The vessel has four legs to lift itself above the sea level for stable working conditions and is equipped with a DP2 system.
Voltaire is designed to run on gasoil but fitted with a highly advanced exhaust gas filtering system by means of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Jan De Nul has already applied this pioneering emission control technology on two trailing suction hopper dredgers and three more, currently under construction, but Voltaire will be the very first seagoing installation vessel of its kind to be such an Ultra-Low Emission vessel, not to mention EURO STAGE V certified.
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. The third jack-up vessel will enable us to cope with our increased number of offshore wind projects worldwide. In addition, we recognize the global trend towards larger wind turbines for increased green energy demands. The Voltaire will have all the required specifications to meet the upcoming challenges.”
Key features include a main crane of over 3,000t, an operating depth of approximately

ngineering specialist, Modulift, unveiled a raft of newly developed equipment in July 2019, designed to “make life much easier for the heavy lifting industry”. Providing technical expertise, alongside the manufacture and supply of specialist lifting equipment, such as lifting and spreader beams, spreader frames and other ‘between the hook and the load’ lifting equipment, the Dorset-based British company says the new range is in direct response to customer demand, and a need for more diverse equipment in general. Feeding a global supply chain that spans the wind energy, nuclear, construction, and the oil and gas industries, Modulift ’s new products include the Modulift Adjustable Modular Lifting Beam and the Modulift Trunnion Drop Link. Both have been designed as standard products, which means they are ready to order, saving the customer time and money. Modulift ’s Technical Director, Sue Spencer says: “We invite everyone, both inside and outside our company, to come up with good
3 6 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | Issue 4
Modulift.indd 36
ideas for new products – we then start developing the best and the most beneficial.”
Modulift Adjustable Modular Lifting Beam
The new Modulift Adjustable Modular Lifting Beam maintains the same level of flexibility and benefits as the existing product, but also includes multiple pad eyes to allow the beam to adapt in order to lift various weights and sizes. Available in three sizes – Light (up to 50t), Medium (up to 170t) and Heavy (up to 240t) – the beam can be customised in length to specific requirements, anywhere between 1m to 19m. Adaptable in its use, the Modulift Adjustable Modular Lifting Beam can be used either as a lifting beam, as the name suggests, or as a semi-spreader beam. In addition, as the longest component is only 6m, both transport costs and handling requirements are reduced. “Our standard lifting beam is already a brilliant product, so we thought the only
s h i p b u i l d i n g -i n d u s tr y. e u
14-08-19 16:59
cranes way to make it better was to make it adjustable”, says Ms Spencer. “Lots of our customers have different requirements to move a variety of fixed sized objects like metal skids – so rather than have lots of different sized beams, they can just have one that is size adjustable. This is so much more efficient for our clients.”
Modulift Trunnion Drop Link
The new Modulift Trunnion Drop Link provides an alternative when needing to easily and quickly attach a sling. The new version only requires one top shackle, as opposed to the usual two, which means the sling attachment is both safer and quicker, and therefore both time and cost effective. It is compatible with Modulift Spreader Beams from MOD6 up to MOD110 with a capacity of up to 55t and works with flat webbing slings up to the MOD50 and wire rope and synthetic slings up to the MOD110. “As engineers, it’s really satisfying to develop a product that makes work a lot easier for others”, says Spencer. “With the trunnion drop link, we responded to a request from our customer RRS Group. It already had our beams and wanted compatible drop links. It’s so much easier to attach trunnion drop links, especially for really heavy lifts, so it was an easy decision to not just make them for one customer but to add them to our range.”
In January 2013, global spreader beam manufacturer, Modulift, designed and built spreaders to lift the world’s most powerful gas turbine.
Modulift can design and manufacture a Custom Lifting Solution within 4-6 weeks – providing expert engineering, manufacturing excellence and quality assurance.

owing ships is a meticulous activity. If the heeling angle is a little too large, the tugboat can capsize. With Electronic Stability Protection, the crew will be notified when the capsize of the boat is a real threat”, says Robert van Koperen, Development Team Leader at shipbuilder Damen Shipyards. Phoenix Contact’s PLCnext Technology has an
3 8 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | Issue 4
Phoenix Contact Damen.indd 38
important role to play here. The stability of a tugboat depends on a large number of variables, including the amount of diesel in the tanks. “In a ‘handbook’, the captain can look up the exact maximum heeling angle, for example, when the diesel tanks are half full”, says Mr Van Koperen. This reference work is the result of calculations carried out by Damen Shipyards beforehand, using special simulation software. But it is even better if the captain of the tugboat, while towing the ship in real time, receives a notification when capsizing
becomes imminent. “That is why in 2017 we started to develop the Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) system, which assists the crew during towing operations”, explains Mr Van Koperen. “By using Matlab Simulink and PLCnext Technology, the software, both SIL and HIL, can already be tested in the office.”
Internet of Things
The idea behind ESP is that the shipbuilder uses sensors to monitor the conditions, for example, how full the tanks are. “We send the data from the sensors to the hardware

shIp management The shipbuilder uses ESP sensors to monitor the conditions and to calculate the ship’s stability.

platform that runs special simulation software. With this software, we can continuously calculate the ship’s stability”, adds Mr Van Koperen. If things are likely to go wrong, the captain will receive a notification after which the crew can intervene. “We still had to look for a hardware platform – a PLC or industrial PC – that was robust enough to operate on board of a ship”, he continues. The choice soon fell on the PLCnext Technology of Phoenix Contact. This new, open technology is prepared for the demands of the Internet of Things and allows for easy integration of new functionality.
Benefits PLCnext Technology
The Dutch shipbuilder had several reasons for having the complex control algorithm
s h i p b u i l d i n g - i n d u str y.eu
Phoenix Contact Damen.indd 39
carried out by a PLCnext Controller. Mr Van Koperen cites three of them, the first being compatibility with several programming languages. Damen Shipyards uses MATLAB Simulink to carry out simulations and to write code. “Compatibility with MATLAB Simulink was an important requirement for us that we demanded from the hardware. PLCnext Technology offers this compatibility, along with other programming languages. This means that you can write a code in the software that you are already used to”, he explains. Secondly, quick transition from prototype to product is appealing. “With PLCnext Technology, you swiftly have a workable system at your disposal that is easy to scale up”, says Mr Van Koperen. “If you switch from prototype to production-ready system,
you keep using the same hardware, which is very valuable to us. The system is also easy to expand, should the need arise.” And lastly, the speed of processors, which according to Mr Van Koperen is becoming increasingly important: “In the future, we may switch to ‘model predictive control’. With heavy models, we predict what will happen so that we can react within a split second. That requires a lot from your hardware. When it comes to speed, PLCnext Controller trumps conventional PLCs.”
Unique in the Shipbuilding Industry
In 2017, Damen Shipyards was an early adopter of PLCnext Technology, which had not yet been officially launched. However, Mr Van Koperen has not noticed much in terms of teething problems and is even thinking about the next step after ESP has been broadly deployed. “Phoenix Contact helped us to quickly develop a working system, with good support, workshops, and direct contact. We now have one system up and running”, he says. “We assist the crew by triggering an alarm if a capsize is imminent. We can further expand this in the future by having the system actively intervene in the control of the ship in the event of imminent danger. That would be unique in the tugboat industry.” i. www.damen.com

ith more than 50 years of specialised skills to the offshore oil, gas and wind industry under its belt, Heerema Marine Contractor is a titan of the seas. excelling in the fields of transporting, installing and removing offshore facilities, it has now taken receipt of one of its most impressive projects to date: state-of-the-art semi-submersible crane vessel, Sleipnir. it has been named after the norse God odin’s eight-legged stallion and was recently completed at Sembcorp marine’s tuas boulevard yard in Singapore for Heerema marine Contractors. SSCv Sleipnir is a newgeneration semi-submersible crane vessel with a pair of revolving cranes that can lift 20,000t in tandem. no other existing crane vessel in the world has this capability. Speaking at Sleipnir’s christening in tuas boulevard yard in June, mr pieter Heerema, Chairman of the board at Heerema marine Contractors, said: “I am immensely proud that Heerema Marine Contractors is again taking things further with the introduction of our new semi-submersible crane vessel.” He added that Sleipnir scores several firsts in the industry. the vessel has a 220m by 102m reinforced deck area, making it the largest crane vessel to ever be built. “it is also the world’s first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines.” the vessel runs on both marine Gas oil (mGo) and liquefied natural Gas (lnG). Coupled with an imo- and uS Coast Guard-approved ballast water management system, Sleipnir will dramatically reduce harmful emissions and operate sustainably across all environmental jurisdictions.
Passed with Flying Colours
The impressive crane vessel successfully completed both sea trials and crane load tests in June 2019. it is now confirmed that the vessel, when fully deploying all eight thrusters, can reach a top speed of 12.2kts, significantly reducing transit time to projects around the world. in

arine technology specialist and systems integrator alewijnse has revealed its latest product launch – a virtualisation and visualisation platform for use on trailing suction hopper dredgers. Also available for use on other vessels, the aiViVi system is already in the market, having been successfully installed on several of DEME’s trailing suction hopper dredgers. Serving as a central hub, the platform centralises and integrates all the dredging process systems and distributes the visualisation of the data to all networked screens on board. Netherlands-based Alewijnse is the first company to have achieved this and is the only company currently able to offer a fully digitalised platform to the maritime market. DEME’s trailing suction hopper dredgers form part of a large fleet operated by DEME,
4 4 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | i ssue 4
Alewijnse.indd 44
and one of the most modern and versatile fleets in the dredging industry.
Unique Software Platform
The key benefits of the AlViVi platform is that it is fast and flexible. Consisting of several virtualised dredging process-related systems, it replaces the vessel’s computers and Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) equipment and reduces cabling on board too. The platform can visualise multiple ships’ systems on individual screens, or alternatively, a single system can be selected for display on multiple screens around the vessel, making it a highly flexible and optimised solution for onboard operators and crew. Johan van Rikxoort, Alewijnse Product Manager, comments: “The platform is fast, user-friendly and extremely reliable, resulting in maximum uptime and optimal

shipboard a utomation & marine electronics operational safety. By bringing together multiple systems in one environment, the maintenance and management becomes much easier and efficient. Updates are better and faster to test or roll back. In addition, the life-time of the software is extended by the independence of the platform and the system is also extremely secure from intruders. “An additional benefit considered highly important by Alewijnse for this project is the significant reduction on space and costs of hardware and software maintenance”, he adds. “The solution saves enormously on physical components; the platform takes up 75% less space through much reduced requirements for cabling, computer hardware and cabinets.”
Trailing suction hopper dredgers Far from a newcomer to the sector, Alewijnse has been working with DEME, a leader in the field of dredging, for more than three years. Over that time, the companies have been working together to find solutions to update automation on board dredgers. Previous projects include hopper control systems, such as the alewijnse draught and loading system (ADLS) and Alewijnse Suction Tube System (ASTS) with complementary automatic functions. i. www.deme-group.com i. www.alewijnse.com

Destination Highlights
Despite the volume of passengers on board, Saga has introduced an ‘Explore Ashore’ concept that enables guests to tailor shore excursions to their own preferences. Assisted by travel experts, it forms part of a new bespoke concierge service, bridging the gap between customised travel and traditional cruises. Highlights include private transfers, backstage passes to behind-the-scenes at music concerts, small-group tours to destinations not advertised to most travelers, such as access to private rooms in
state buildings and museums in Estonia and the Caribbean, and hands-on food experiences, where guests can meet local chefs, buy fresh produce, then cook and eat regional dishes.
Sumptuous Suites
When it comes to on-board accommodation, the dimensions are fairly generous. Each standard balcony cabin has an average floor plan of almost 23m2, and the interior design has been taken from some of london’s top hotels, in a bid to showcase the best in contemporary, yet classic British design. in what is one of the ship’s most distinctive features, every cabin will have a balcony, giving guests their own outside space too. So whether in the heart of a stunning norwegian fjord or sailing around the sunny Mediterranean guests can relax, enjoy the views and dine alfresco at no extra charge. Solo cruisers will also be spoilt for choice, with a range of over 100 single balcony cabins available in various grades. A range of suites are also available, affording up to 70m2 per cabin, and including a living room, dining area, adjoining bathroom with twin basins, and butler service, while the

forward suites are the highest-grade on board. Each one has been individually designed to be a one-off, signature space that will be the epitome of true luxury and elegance at sea. Bespoke artwork and highend fabrics, furniture, fittings and finishings throughout will ensure guests can stay in some of the finest cabins afloat. “Designing a new cruise ship is fun, exciting and challenging all in one, and for the past two years we’ve been listening to our customers, taking feedback, and fine tuning every detail of the design”, says Robin Shaw, Saga Cruises’ Chief Executive. “One of her most unique features will be that every cabin will have a balcony, giving each guest their own private space at sea.”
On-Board Dining
A range of on-board restaurants will be available.
Spirit of Discovery will also be Saga’s first vessel to include a theatre on board.
From the Arctic to Norway to the Canary Islands, Spirit of Discovery is equipped to cruise the globe, and with a variety of onboard restaurants, guests can dine their way around the world too. A range of specialty restaurants on board complement the food served in the Grand Dining Room, from healthy options from the grill, flavours of the Far East with a contemporary twist, and the first seafood restaurant to be included on a Saga ship, serving British and locallysourced fish, shellfish and other fruits de mer. Coast to Coast will focus on minimalistic cooking that allows the food to speak for itself, including fresh ‘catch of the day’ simply grilled or pan fried, and tartare, ceviche and shellfish dishes. Spirit of Discovery’s luxurious, world-class design heralds a new era for Saga Cruising, from bow to stern. “I think people are going to be surprised by what Saga will deliver with this ship – expect the unexpected”, says Andy Yuill, Managing Director of SMC Design, who are responsible for the ship’s design. “We are maintaining the best bits of the existing brand but introducing new and unexpected elements. It’s a ship built for a British company, with the customers at the forefront... Plus, we’re very fortunate to be building at Meyer Werft where I have gained considerable experience over the years – they’re the best in the world.”
Each standard balcony cabin has an average floor plan of 75m2.

One Step Ahead icom.plus module enables predictive maintenance with flexible data integration for high it security.
T
he cologne-based family business igus, a leading manufacturer of energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings, has unveiled a new range of ‘smart plastics’ designed to help predict and plan onboard maintenance. being able to measure the wear of energy chains, slewing rings and linear guides with the use of intelligent sensors is among the list of capabilities that its new communication model – icom.plus – boasts. With offices in 35 countries and over 4,150 employees around the world, igus generated a turnover of EUR 748 million in 2018 with motion plastics, and plastic components for moving applications. Under the name isense, igus carries sensors of various kinds that detect the condition of igus components such as cables or energy chains. they measure among other things the wear during the operation and alert the user early enough to plan repair or

replacement. by networking with the icom communication module, the data is transmitted to an intelligent system, and the module can be connected to all igus specific sensors. examples include sensors for the measurement of abrasion, or the wear measurement of the pin-bore connection of the energy chain, as well as sensors for the detection of break and push-pull forces and for cable monitoring. once the data is collected and transferred to the icom module, the next step is to interpret it. so far, this has been possible via the connection to the igus cloud, but due to the increasing importance of it security, however, many companies are increasingly relying on the development of their own SCADA systems, and this is where igus’ new advanced data concentrator icom.plus, comes into play. with the new module, the customer can integrate the data in the way that best suits their equipment.

maintenance
Flexible Data Connection
Programmed via igus online configurations with initial service life algorithms, icom.plus can be operated offline upon customer request, after online installation. To operate in an offline status, the device requires a temporary, short-term secured iot access to the igus server to match the calculation algorithms to the actual motion and environmental profile of the customer application. In highly restrictive areas, the update can also be performed at the beginning via a storage medium completely offline. This means the customer can flexibly design the connection of the module and their data and establish a balance between maximising the runtime and IT security. The motion profile required for the calculation of the maintenance recommendation is read directly from the control system via the bus system of the machine. in the same way, the information about the number of days until the next recommended maintenance and messages about unusual changes in the sensor data are transferred to the plc control. The user information is provided

directly via the system monitor or via customer-specific SCADA systems.
Predictive Maintenance
With the online connection of the icom.plus, a continuous matching of the service life statement with the igus cloud takes place in order to enable maximum system runtimes with minimal risk of failure. the data in the cloud draws on the ten billion test cycles of
energy chains and cables performed in the company’s own 2,750m2 test laboratory, and thanks to machine learning and ai, igus can provide precise information on the durability of the solutions used and inform the user about a necessary replacement beforehand. i. igus.com

Following an extensive period of R&D, as well as exploring the market for what is required, Spido awarded Shipyard De Hoop the assignment for building its new flagship.
2018, while the keel of the first section was laid in october that same year. recognised for both interior and exterior styling of large motor yachts, dutch design studio, Cor d. rover partnered with shipyard de hoop and spido to develop a new waterbound party and event experience, based on spido’s existing dna. the ship has a modern straight axe bow, with an optimised hull shape for better sailing characteristics and fuel saving. the characteristic spido arc that runs forward from the transom appears to hold a protective hand above the wheelhouse. all passenger decks are fitted with artificial teak deck and brushed stainless steel railings finished with petrol coloured glass. the same colour glass is found all over the ship, in large windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, to match the petrol carpet and wood pattern vinyl flooring. the descending line of the decks to the aft ship is recognisable from the world of superyacht design and, to accentuate the enhanced profile, the outside is illuminated by separately switchable contour lighting.

Interior Aesthetics
the ship’s interior is characterised by a modern and warm design language, with the use of high-quality luxury materials such as exquisite leather, comfortable carpet and stainless steel. able to accommodate up to 122 passengers on the main deck for a dinner setting, the vip lounge can also seat 22 guests for a more intimate dining experience. both decks are equally accessible through an internal grand staircase, as well as via the outside decks. entrances located amidships on both sides of the main deck feature large glass sliding doors with a gangplank in a dedicated davit installation. a luxury bar and buffet for a high-end culinary experience, prepared by star chefs in the galley below deck, are located forward on the main deck. when in operation, considerations have been made for service, by way of a buffet platter fixed on a scissor lift below deck to facilitate preparing from the galley; when ready for serving, the buffet will go up to main deck level. the platter and cage on the scissor lift are designed to hold and lift heavier items too, which means when companies hire out the space to hold events for presenting their
new products, the space is as flexible as possible, with even small cars or motorbikes able to be accommodated. from the main deck, guests have access to the cloakrooms and spacious toilets via a staircase down, while a disabled toilet with wheelchair access is provided on the main deck. all outside decks are also accessible by stair lift for wheelchair users and disabled guests.
Environmental Considerations
sustainable practices are at the fore of the cruise ship industry, and the spido flagship has been designed with an emphasis on comfort and low-impact environmentallyfriendly features, built according to ilent / nbkb regulations for inland shipping. these include solar panels above the foredeck (mooring deck) and in the sides of the top deck and led-lights. furthermore, efforts have been made by shipyard de hoop to decrease noise and vibrations, the result of which can be seen in floating floors, flexibly mounted equipment and anti-vibration panels in walls and ceilings. at present, the vessel is expected to be stationed at the spido jetty near the erasmus bridge in rotterdam, the second

largest bridge in the netherlands, and which connects the north and south parts of the city. due to height restrictions, the navigational equipment is placed on a hingeable topmast above the wheelhouse to provide the required air draft of 8,80m above the 1,10m waterline. the wheelhouse itself features all required instruments and equipment for navigating the dutch canals. the on-board CCtv-system is capable of registering what happens on board and around the vessel and storing images on hard disk. due to the shape and size of the vessel, in combination with the sometimesrestricted manoeuvring spaces, the cameras will also be used for navigating.
State-of-the-Art
in contrast to previous spido ships, which only have air-handling equipment, the new
flagship vessel has fully functioning hvaC units. the main aC-unit room to portside on the main deck also features provisions to connect a mobile bar unit. for special music shows and dJ performances, 380vaC and speaker provisions are made in the technical spaces on the aft deck; these technical spaces also have see-through mirrors on which photos, movies or presentations can be projected from behind.

the two rudder propellers (Z-drives with a double propeller) are diesel-direct driven, while the bow thruster is electrically driven by the generator sets. the main propulsors, as well as the diesel generators, are situated in two aft engine rooms. both engine rooms are protected from fire by a firepro system, injecting an fpC solid compound, which transforms into a rapidly expanding fire

safety & security
PreAcc’s main goal is to improve safety while preserving, and if possible, even improving work site performance.
Safety at Work PreAcc technology hAs been devised As A PreventAtive solution AgAinst collision Accidents in PlAces of work. it is the only system that efficiently alerts both the worker at risk (such as when under a crane load), as well as machinery operators using an optional electrical interface. it focuses on the risks posed to pedestrian workers and those between machinery and selected objects. especially designed for maximum efficiency within all types of difficult environments, it greatly limits false alarms. here bert Versteeg, managing director of preacc, explains how. all photos courtesy of PreAcc technology
How does the PreAcc technology work? the core technology is based on em/rf (radio frequency). rf is the only technology that will not be blinded by dirt, mud, snow, rain, ice, fog, or smog, etc., often found on construction and operational sites. it has been designed to limit false alarms that would render any such safety system useless. to achieve this, we use a unique rf technology that contains the operating field of the rf within a limited distance that covers the zone of true danger and avoids covering zones that are outside the path of the moving vehicle or load.
it has been determined that rf has the best chances to contribute to added safety

safety & security
detection, but general rf applications are not precise and generate far too great a number of false alarms, lots of warnings, and puts too much responsibility on the driver/operator. rf signals are extremely difficult to contain and require a highly unique configuration to achieve the type of safety that we are looking for. by adjusting the initial power output of the rf module, we set the threshold for the desired distance for the application. the width of the safety zone is determined by the geometry set by the model of the internal antenna that we select, which then defines the width / distance ratio. our main goal throughout all of this is to improve safety while preserving, and if possible, even improving work site performance. How does PreAcc technology work within speciďŹ c safety requirements? technology alone will not provide full precision in the usage of rf/em for safety solutions. rf/em is a science, and the handling of rf/ em is almost an art that requires specific expertise and must be combined with expertly designed safety solutions. the preacc high-sensitive low-energy rf/em core technology module provides the tools needed to adapt rf/em to specific safety design requirements. these include:
Deep field sensing; the core module with corresponding antenna can detect an rf signal among all rf/em interferences 1,000 times weaker than a standard bluetooth ear piece head set, even from 25m away. it is like the detection of a small led light with the sun flashing in our eyes. this means the PreAcc em/rf technology is safe for humans.

the core module with corresponding antenna can detect an RF signal among all RF/EM interferences 1,000 times weaker than a standard bluetooth ear piece head set, even from 25m away.
Over the past ďŹ ve years, an average of nearly 70 people have died and 2,500 have suffered major injuries annually as a result of various incidents in the process of oil and gas drilling.

safety & security
hazards related to the use of machines and equipment include injuries to the hands, feet or limbs that become caught in moving parts and injuries to the head and other areas from falling objects or moving equipment. other potential dangers include being pinned under a heavy load. if fuel tanks are not protected or stored properly, then collisions in navigation channels or with cranes and loads can rupture fuel tanks causing both fires and explosions.
Accident prevention by warning the worker at risk just in time is key, as well as the prevention of annoying false alarms.
Wide field sensing; the core module with corresponding antenna can detect up to 180-degrees wide by creating an em flux similar to magnetic fields around magnets. PreAcc core technology modules allow the user to vary shape and range of detection (danger) zones between the two extremes (mentioned above), with the choice of the core module in appropriate combination to its configuration and antenna. the size and shape of the danger zone can be defined using power and/or power sensitivity levels, rf/em processing inside the PreAcc core tech module combined with a corresponding antenna. the PreAcc core technology module allows for rf phase shifting between the electric and magnetic components of the rf/em wave to generate various polarisation options. this feature is useful to adapt to mobile receiving units such as vibrating bracelets on workers. How do you go about implementing the technology in a place of work? our strategy for successful implementation firstly involves us receiving all operations information relating to how workers collaborate with the machines. once we understand this, we roll out our safety application protocol, which includes who to alert, how to alert, when to alert, and what is expected of machine drivers/operators and workers. after that we conduct a site survey, making note of the site conditions and using environmental data to customise
5 8 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | i ssue 4
Preacc.indd 58
the rf/em devices that will be used. we also conduct an overview of all machines, vehicles, trucks and cranes, etc., before we prepare a general integrated safety solutions design (this allows us to establish specifications for the rf/em devices). then the devices are assembled, programmed and tested to meet our specifications using PreAcc standard PreAcc rf/em core technology modules. What types of projects are you currently working on? our projects are hugely varied but at present, we are working with heavy industries, such as steel plants (for example arcelor mittal and aperam), terminal warehouse logistics, offshore platforms and dredging, land reclamation and infra marine. we also work with overhead crane producers, as well as within quarry and mining. What are the most common types of injuries or accidents? working on an offshore drilling rig combines hard work on heavy machinery, rough seas, and long hours. this combination unfortunately results in all types of accidents and injuries, but many times, the cause of the accident can be traced back to the lack of safety regulations. when it comes to deck accidents, crew members may be struck by falling objects, swinging cables or raised loads on open decks. crew may also fall from wet stairs, slippery catwalks and unsecured ladders.
maritime workers frequently have to deal with inevitable equipment failures, too.
over the past five years, an average of nearly 70 people have died and 2,500 have suffered major injuries annually as a result of various incidents in the process of oil and gas drilling. these are mainly because of underlying causes related to insufficient accident prevention planning and safety training activities. research has shown that there is a real need for particular kbdss (knowledge-based decision support system) based on updated hazard controlling factors in combination with training capabilities. this can be a vital solution for the safety of workers. How can these accidents best be avoided? humans react using two processes, one from the conscious mind (decision making process) and one from the subconscious mind (reflex process). a reflex (survival instinct reflex in particular) is a rapid, automatic response to a stimulus. with collision accidents, there is no time to think when something bad is about to happen. accidents often occur because of a lack of awareness, and a simple wake-up call can be enough to serve as an effective prevention technique.
human error plays a significant role in the majority of reported incidents. Accident prevention by warning the worker at risk just in time is key, as well as the prevention of annoying false alarms. preacc offers the technology to prevent accidents by warning the worker in a danger zone or the operator via reflex e.g. via a vibrating bracelet; prevents collisions between cranes and (dangerous) objects; and alerts operators, drivers and workers by other means, such as audible alarms, flash lights or spotlights. the entire product range is suitable for workers both on land and at sea – anywhere where workers are working in or stepping into a danger zone. i. www.preacc.net

SHIPBUILDING-INDUSTRY.EU
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 –simultaneously increasing safety and performance.
