welcome

Welcome The shipbuilding world is currenTly spending a loT of Time, energy and money on developing new equipmenT and Technology To make The indusTry cleaner and more susTainable. whether it’s new fuel types or hybrid propulsion technology, different hull designs or new ways to treat ballast water, the advances are fascinating to observe.

While some innovations may not stand the test of time, others will, and, because of that, we are witnessing history being made. We are seeing actual steps being taken to make our industry and our world a cleaner and better place. And that is, in a word, amazing.

Several of these exciting innovations are featured on these pages. Check out the ship report on expedition vessel MS Roald Amundsen, the interesting developments in the dredging industry and the latest update from IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention.

Plenty of innovation will also be on display and under discussion during the maritime spectacular, Europort 2019. For four days, Ahoy Event Centre in Rotterdam will be transformed into one of Europe’s biggest maritime trade fairs. Europort’s main theme this year is ‘Special Ships, Smart Solutions’, which is divided into three sub-themes: Smart Technology, Smart People and Smart Business. During the conferences, master classes, networking events and exhibitions, experts from the shipping world will come together to discuss the present and look towards the future.

Personally, I am very excited about attending my first Europort. I can’t wait to meet as many of you as possible and hear about what is new in your business. So, if you are in the area, please stop in at the ShipBuilding Industry-stand (no 2220) and say hello. see you soon!

news in brief Hydrogen-Powered Tug is World First for Port of Antwerp Port of Antwerp has ordered the construction of a tug powered by hydrogen, the first in the world. This ‘Hydrotug’ is driven by combustion engines that burn hydrogen in combination with diesel. The dual-fuel technology is combined with a state-of-the-art particle filter and catalyser. This will ensure that the Hydrotug is ultra-low emission. “We are working towards becoming a CO2-neutral port”, says Port of Antwerp CEO Jacques Vandermeiren. “With this world-first, we aim to further prepare the way for alternative fuels such as hydrogen, in order to realise the transition to alternative, renewable sources of energy.” Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB) is building the ultra-lowemission Hydrotug, which is expected to be operational within two years.

OSD-IMT has announced a new contract for at least three OSD-IMT7402 shallow-draught tugs for PT Patria Maritim Perkasa shipyard in Batam, Indonesia. The 18t bollard-pull, shallow-draught, conventional tugs will be equipped to assist the berthing and unberthing of 100m barges and to tow these barges along the Barito river in the South Kalimantan area of Indonesia. During the dry season, the upstream part of the river has a water depth of only around 2.5m to 3m. For this reason, the design draught is being kept at two metres. The first of the three vessels is scheduled for delivery in March 2020. It will be Indonesian-flagged and classed by Bureau Veritas.

news in brief First ABB Azipod-Powered Vessel Reaches North Pole

Azipod propulsion has made history, driving a Norwegian Coast Guard icebreaker all the way to the North Pole. KV Svalbard has also become the first Norwegian vessel to sail to the ‘top of the world’. The vessel, built in 2001 and equipped with twin 5MW Azipod icebreaking units, was sailing the Arctic waters as part of an international scientific expedition. “We were able to navigate through the Arctic waters and reach the North Pole faster than we thought possible”, says Ottar Haugen, Commander of the Norwegian Coast Guard. “This is a significant milestone for us and proof that we have a vessel in our fleet equipped with a robust propulsion system that enables operations in the harshest ice conditions – all the way to the North Pole.”

Wärtsilä Supports Hurtigruten’s Green Push Expedition cruise operator Hurtigruten has enlisted technology group Wärtsilä to convert an additional three expedition cruise ships to become hybrid powered. The order includes upgrading the ships’ Wärtsilä engines for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to restrict emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Wärtsilä will also deliver two Energopac systems. The integrated propeller and rudder design of the Wärtsilä Energopac utilises advanced hydrodynamic technology to optimise propulsion efficiency. This enables effective savings in fuel, costs, and emissions. The ships will also have the capability to operate on battery power. The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in December of this year. Hurtigruten has announced that all new additions to its fleet, as well as its existing vessels, will be made compliant with the IMO’s Tier III regulations.

news in brief Piriou Delivers Two New Tugs to Boluda France

Piriou has delivered OST 30 tugs VB Concorde and VB Mirage, the first of six ordered by Boluda France. The tugs’ homeport is Saint-Nazaire, France. Built by Piriou Vietnam, on a Piriou standard design customised to meet Boluda France’s requirements, the six 73t bollard-pull tugs have a hull length of 30.3m. They have been developed for ‘push pull’ type towage and harbour assistance operations as well as deepsea operations. The tugs are equipped with two aft azimuth propellers (Azimuth Stern Drive), driven by two marine medium-speed, turbocharged, four-stroke diesel engines, fresh-water cooled with box cooler refrigerants.

World’s Largest Heavy-Lift Vessel Reconfigured with Fast Turnaround Transportation and lifting expert ALE recently reconfigured the movable buoyancy casings on board BOKA Vanguard in just three days. The semi-submersible vessel lifts through the flooding and emptying of buoyancy casings, which can be repositioned to accommodate loads of varying sizes. In order to allow the transportation of a large cruise vessel, the casings, weighing 900t each and standing 26m high, needed to be moved to an outrigger position. At the client’s request, the work was to be undertaken in half the usual timeframe.

To achieve the reduced job schedule, ALE made two crews available for the project. The buoyancy casings on board the Vanguard will now stay in position until it is called upon to transport a vessel too large for its current configuration.

New Weight-Lifting Record for Jumbo

Jumbo Kinetic has recently broken records by lifting a 1,929t wash tower, the heaviest cargo ever lifted by Jumbo. Samsung Engineering booked Jumbo to transport the wash tower and four columns, including transport saddles, for the JUPC project in Saudi Arabia. Jumbo Kinetic is from the K-class family, fitted with two 1,500t cranes with a combined lift capacity of 3,000t. The 1,929t wash tower has dimensions of: L 101.1m x W 10.8m x H 11.4m and was lifted by the cranes in a dual lift. A specialised Jumbo team handled the safe loading, sea fastening, and transportation to Jubail in Saudi Arabia. | Read more on shipbuilding-industry.eu

he dredging industry is continuing to show growth year-on-year. in 2017, the total turnover was estimated at EUR 4.8 billion and, according to rené kolman, Secretary General of the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC), the figures for 2018 are looking better.

“We’re expecting the revenue for 2018 to be a bit higher than the previous year”, he says.

“We’re still under the level of what it was

before the financial crisis but, overall, the dredging industry is healthy. however, there is still reason to be cautious. The dredging industry is a capital-intensive industry with mostly financially healthy companies, but the market isn’t easy at the moment.”

The IADC Dredging in Figures publication covers the global dredging industry, with the exception of the turnover from closed markets such as china and the united

States. The data from these markets cannot be verified and are therefore excluded. “And it is these closed markets that are providing additional challenges for international dredging companies”, says Mr Kolman.

Financial Incentives

While it can be considered unfair that the dredging projects in closed markets are off-limits to international dredging

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

Dredging Algemeen.indd 11

companies, the problem is expanding to outside these closed markets. “Africa is a growing market for the dredging industry.

The continent is developing, and the UN is predicting an increase in population. This means an increase in imports and exports, with larger vessels using existing ports and new ports being built. This provides opportunities for the international dredging community. However, we’re already seeing

that China is offering financial conditions with their bids for dredging contracts, which can’t be met by the IADC-members”, says Mr Kolman.

During last year’s Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced EUR 55 billion in financial aid and investment pledges to the African continent. This was on top of another pledge of EUR 66 billion announced at the

summit three years earlier. in recent years, China has built a EUR 20 million presidential palace in burundi, while in ethiopia it has built and paid for the EUR 182 million african union headquarters in addis ababa. china is also helping the country launch its first satellite in September 2019, complete with EUR 5.5 million in training and financial support for the lift-off, according to Reuters.

It is these conditions and financial aid that are giving chinese dredging companies an advantage over their international competitors. “We can’t offer these conditions, and this means that dredging companies are not operating on a level playing field”, says Mr Kolman.

Increasing Chinese Competition

The report entitled: The Dutch and Belgian Dredging Industry: An Exploration of the Future warns that Chinese competition must be expected to increase substantially in the near future. research project leader prof.

Jan van den ende has advised the sector to re-strengthen collaboration between parties, both vertically as well as horizontally. “In addition, new business models such as servitisation, disruptive innovation, influx of knowledge from other sectors such as data analytics and

1 2 | S B I 2 0 1 9 | Volum e 13 | i ssue 5

Dredging Algemeen.indd 12

collaborating with start-up companies can rejuvenate the sector’s innovative potential”, he says. “National governments and European institutions can facilitate such actions by supporting innovative and sustainable projects, and by putting much more pressure on the creation of a level playing field internationally in this sector.” according to the european dredging Association (EuDA), closed markets are not just harmful to players outside that market, but also to the companies within. in euda’s 2017 annual report, it warns that protectionist measures “restrict or prevent the entry of innovations or knowledge into this market, including environmentally friendly solutions that could prevent or repair damage, restore habitats and provide long-term sustainable solutions”.

starts at the very beginning of a project by looking at ways to use any dredged materials as a resource, to focus on creating as much added value as possible. To do so, it is important to involve all stakeholders; not just the commissioning client, but all interested parties, including those who might initially oppose the project.” involving the stakeholders from an early stage might make the preliminary phase of a project more complicated but, according to mr kolman, it also creates the opportunity for added value to the project. “a project has to create value in each of the three pillars of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. so, it has to add value not just for the client, but also for the community, for the fishing industry and for the biodiversity in the area.”

Creating Added Value

Coastal Protection Drives Industry

“sustainability is an important theme within the dredging industry”, says mr kolman.

“The iadc-members are the frontrunners with regard to sustainability. everyone is looking to reduce their co2 emissions and we’re seeing several lng ships being built, and scrubbers installed.” however, sustainability goes further than just co2 emissions. Mr Kolman continues, “It

According to the IADC, there are five main drivers for the dredging industry: world trade, demographics, coastal protection, energy and tourism. as the world’s population continues to grow, so does the demand for urban development. The world Bank estimates that by 2050, 68% of the world’s population will live in cities. This

s h i p b u i l d i n g -i n d u s tr y. e u

puts pressure on countries with limited space to urbanise and makes land reclamation an interesting option.

An additional challenge is that many of these urban areas are close to the coast.

Technological institute Deltares has projected that by 2030, more than half of the world’s population will live within 100km of a coast. with rising sea levels and an increase in extreme weather, these coastal areas are become increasingly vulnerable.

In 2018, Deltares warned that sea levels are predicted to rise in this century more than previously expected. with 600 million people currently living in coastal areas which are less than 10m above sea level, coastal protection is vital. Local authorities around the world are recognising the need to act. For example, san diego has started a comprehensive project for the improvement of mission bay park. This so-called ‘Ten-year Plan’ identifies a list of priority projects, including navigational and safety dredging, wetlands and water quality improvements, shoreline protection, expansion of preserves and habitat, and park facility improvements. in september, boskalis announced that the company had been awarded two major contracts, in the uk and romania, for the

strengthening and protection of a stretch of seafront coastline from erosion.

Offshore Opportunities

another important driver is the energy sector, with dredging companies playing an important role in the construction of offshore oil, gas and wind energy infrastructures. “These activities of placing equipment in the sea require a lot of knowledge and experience and it is a logical

step for dredging specialists to extend their services into this area”, says mr kolman.

“The deep-sea mining market might be of interest to dredging companies. The need for resources and rare minerals is increasing.

This is a market that is still very much developing. however, it is a big step from working in coastal areas to working in blue water areas.” i. iadc-dredging.com

comfort. There is a wide diversity of onboard shopping and dining facilities. The service offerings include large stores, and there are three cafe and restaurant options with a variety of food and drink.

The design of the vessel is based on a green mindset, with zero emissions for parts of the journey. And there are several other implementations, small and large, which in total make this a vessel that lives up to a green standard. One such installation is a greenhouse on deck, powered by the re-use of waste heat, for on-board herb cultivation.

Passengers with a love of sea views will probably head for the aft bridge wing, which has been carefully designed with them in mind. A glass floor allows a direct view down to the sea.

Ship-of-the-Year 2019

Maritime magazine Skipsrevyen holds an annual competition where readers can suggest nominees for the Ship-of-the-Year award, with innovation being one of the main criteria. It was announced in June that the jury had selected Color Hybrid as this year’s winner.

Ms Ulstein received the Award from HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway at the NorShipping exhibition. She says: “During the last 100 years, we have developed a solid shipbuilding expertise. To us, this award is an acknowledgment and recognition of this expertise and our commitment to deliver quality and innovative solutions to our customers. We share this award with all our employees, as well as the Norwegian maritime cluster.”

Design Details

In January 2017 Color Line signed a Letter of Intent with Ulstein Verft for the construction of the Color Hybrid. The order was confirmed the following month and construction began with a steel-cutting ceremony on 14 July at the CRIST shipyard in Gdynia, Poland. On 16 April 2018, the ship’s keel, built from fourteen modules,

SuStainability iS a major topic

ncreasing public awareness of the impact of air pollution, both on the environment and on health, is forcing many ship and sea-port owners to look for more efficient technologies for generating electrical power.

Emissions of carbon (CO2), nitrogen (NOx) and sulfur (SOx) substances from maritime shipping are growing year by year, due to a steady increase in traffic. Danfoss is one of the companies helping to meet the demand for a lower energy consumption and fewer emissions. The company is now providing its standard frequency converters with dedicated software to perform all facets of electrical energy conversion. “We constantly develop and test new solutions in our Application Development Center (ADC) in Gorinchem (NL), also combined with new energy sources such as batteries and hydrogen”, says Dick Kant, Sales Engineer at Danfoss Drives Netherlands. “We do this by making optimum use of our frequency converters, which are used in fully electric or hybrid systems.”

Main Propulsion

Danfoss has extensive experience in using frequency converters in renewable power generation systems. The same technology can be successfully applied to marine applications such as shaft generator systems, shore-to-ship applications and static power supplies. Ship owners and port operators can utilise grid-converter technology to significantly reduce carbon and nitrogen emission levels and improve ship fuel economy, thus responding to the latest changes in emission control legislation.

A perfect example of this is Danfoss’ involvement in the construction of the Norwegian ferry Future of the Fjords. This 2018 Ship of the Year represents a new standard of environmentally responsible passenger transport, as the first fully electric carbon-fibre vessel in the world. In 2018, the Norwegian parliament passed a resolution to make its iconic fjords a zeroemissions zone as quickly as possible, and by 2026 at the latest. Future of the Fjords

has met this deadline with eight years to spare and proves that it is possible to maximise the travellers’ experience while ensuring minimal impact on its route through the pristine Nærøyfjord, part of the UNESCO World Heritage park.

Innovative Design For Pure Performance

Future of the Fjords uses high-tech solutions in a range of disciplines to achieve the lowest possible energy consumption. Light carbon sandwich laminates for the hull and superstructures ensure approximately half the weight by comparison with conventional materials. Solutions from Westcon Power & Automation are integrated throughout the vessel, working constantly behind the scenes to control, regulate and optimise performance.

Mr Kant: “Components from Danfoss are used in several of the products from Westcon, including inverters for main propulsion, auxiliary grid and chargers. They ensure reliable operation, which reduces maintenance to an absolute minimum.”

Heart of the Vessel

The battery pack drives the two electric motors. It comprises eight racks with seventeen battery modules each, totalling

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

Danfoss.indd 21

1.8MWh power capacity. When charged, the vessel can run for more than two hours at a speed of 11 knots. A Danfoss MBT sensor is connected to the fan ventilation control to ensure that the temperature is always right in the battery room.

The electric propulsion system enables the vessel to sail emission-free at a cruise speed of 16 knots. Two electric, permanentmagnet motors, capable of 450kW output at 1,180rpm, drive the vessel. Motors and propulsion-control systems are delivered by Westcon.

The feathering position capabilities of the system reduce the propulsion power required, by further minimising resistance and speed loss. The main propulsion, and also bow and stern thrusters, are equipped with Danfoss VACON drives to control speed and optimise power consumption and manoeuvrability. Also, the grid converter is a VACON drive supplying the auxiliary switchboards with reliable power. All drives ensure safe and high-efficiency power conversion from the battery pack.

D REDGING VESSELS & EQUIPMENT

Haptic Feedback Enables Smart Shipping START-UP COMPANY SMART-SHIP IS TAKING HAPTIC FEEDBACK TECHNOLOGY TO THE NEXT LEVEL. ESTABLISHED IN SEPTEMBER 2018, THE COMPANY HAS a clear vision of the benefits that haptics can bring and is convinced their work can help bridge the gap in human-machine interaction.

mart-Ship is currently working with the Royal Netherlands Navy on a project that utilises haptic feedback technology to decrease the mental and physical workload and increase the safety for crew on board small fast ships. The company is also collaborating with simulator producer VSTEP to develop haptic handles to reduce training times and increase the quality of training.

Smart-Ship founder Roy Kok says that it is in the instinctive nature of haptics to offer so much potential. “From an early age, humans learn to interact with their environment by means of experiencing forces. Using haptic handles in training, for example, enables a faster and more intuitive training process.”

Other applications include using haptics to improve the sustainability of operations and improve safety in the offshore sector.

The haptic feedback that Smart-Ship can produce is far more advanced than the type that we most commonly experience in our everyday lives: a vibrating mobile phone.

“The most basic feedback is vibration, but we can generate a variety of different forces in a haptic-feedback control handle”, explains Mr Kok. “Resistance is an important method; we can use variable resistance to

indicate moving nearer or moving further away from a goal. We can also create virtual walls or no-go areas.”

Regaining Control

Haptic feedback is undoubtedly an emerging trend in the maritime industry. It is a technology that allows systems and equipment to communicate with an operator. This is important because, as automation plays an ever more important role in the maritime industry, haptic feedback is a sure-fire way to ensure that operators maintain and, more importantly, improve control of operations.

“As soon as machines perform operations, we are eliminating haptic feedback – making it more difficult to control these machines ourselves”, continues Roel Kuiper, Research & Development Engineer at Dutch subsea specialist Seatools, and also involved in an advisory role at Smart-Ship. “Haptic feedback creates awareness of what a machine is doing.” The point here is that haptic feedback gives us the possibility to regain the control of machine operations.

Mr Kuiper’s employment of haptics in the subsea industry illustrates this point. He has developed a backhoe dredger simulator with haptic feedback, allowing the human operator to actually feel what is happening.

“First, contact between the machine and the seabed. Second, the amount of force required to move through the seabed. And thirdly, if the excavator bucket is stuck.”

Another example involves his research into automated subsea mining operations, where he notes that it is possible to generate haptic feedback on a joystick to generate force feedback, where the controller gives suggestions about what sort of input the operator has to provide.

Support from Bachmann Cutting force Controller

The common factor in the work of both Mr Kuiper and Mr Kok is the use of PLC hardware from Bachmann electronics in their haptic feedback equipment. For both men, this stems from their studies at Delft

Haptic feedback technology allows the operator to feel what is happening on the seabed.

“The Bachmann controller is powerful enough to enable the full dynamic model to run in real time,” says Mr Kuiper, adding that the high frequencies used are of particular benefit. “This is very helpful because the haptic feedback going back to the human operator needs to be at least 1,000Hz to ensure that the force algorithm is stable.”

Continuing with the idea of linking R&D to practical applications, Mr Kok continues: “The foundation of what we do comes from research and development. Therefore, we had to look at how we could translate PLC hardware from the R&D environment into a practical application. Using Bachmann hardware makes this transition to the realworld environment easier – it makes it easier to test new systems, quicker to develop new ideas, and allows us to maintain our quality.” i. smart-ship.eu i. bachmann.info

MOORING LINES HAVE THE IMPORTANT JOB OF KEEPING A VESSEL AND ITS CREW SAFELY IN PLACE WHEN DOCKED. WITH THE STRAIN THESE MOORING LINES ARE UNDER, THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR SAFER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS, AS EXPLAINED BY TEIJIN ARAMID’S SJAAK BENSINK. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF TEIJIN ARAMID

“

ship faces many hazards at sea. But even when it comes into harbour, security procedures and equipment are still needed to ensure the safety of dockside personnel and crews. The mooring lines used to keep the ship in place every time it docks probably have the most important job”, says Sjaak Bensink, Senior Vice President Marketing & Sales Industrial Applications at Teijin Aramid.

“Nevertheless, safety incidents and severe accidents involving mooring-line breakages are all too common. In March 2015, for example, a deck officer on board the LNG tanker Zarga, suffered severe head injuries when he was struck by an HMPE mooring line that had become detached during a berthing operation. And let’s not mention the deaths in decades past.”

Thankfully though, technical solutions offering higher levels of reliability and durability are at hand.

Mr Bensink: “Because of their unique chemical and mechanical properties, aramids such as Teijin Aramid’s Twaron and Technora can enable stronger, lighter and more durable mooring lines; helping to keep operators safer and more secure.”

Practical Advantages of Aramids

When tested in perfect laboratory conditions (21°C, soaking-wet rope) UHMPE mooring lines seem to perform well. But when tested in real-life conditions across the world, where there isn’t much rain and temperatures can rise above 50°C and stay that way for many months and years, only aramids can guarantee long-term rope durability”, says Mr Bensink. “Together with our partner TEHO

For the safety of the ship and the crew, it is important to use reliable mooring lines.

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

Teijn Aramid.indd 39

Ropes, we’ve managed to shed new light on these practical advantages of aramid-based mooring lines.”

He explains that port authorities and shipping companies around the world are taking note.

“With people’s lives on the line, it won’t be long until regulatory bodies start to demand the safety levels from mooring lines that only aramid-based materials can offer. How else can we ensure such high strength, resistance to heat, and impeccable reliability?”

Added Benefits

In addition to the improved safety conditions, aramid mooring lines offer another important benefit, one which will surely appeal to governance authorities, says Mr Bensink. “There is a sustainability aspect too: aramid-based mooring lines have a much greater lifespan and can be more easily recycled.”

Facilitated by TEHO Ropes, there is a worldwide recycling programme in place for end-of-life mooring lines, turning old aramid into new, valuable products.

“With the regulatory landscape moving fast, and the public demanding safer and more sustainable operations, the mooring-line industry would do well to think twice before investing further in traditional HMPE solutions. Superior technology is available; now it is time to steer a more responsible course”, concludes Mr Bensink. i. teijinaramid.com

hile today’s global shipbuilding output is 40% lower than during its peak in 2010, the newbuild order book continues to melt away. The (Asian-dominated) shipbuilding volume markets have been recovering only slowly and have remained below production volumes for the fifth consecutive year.

A significant portion of the German shipbuilding industry has been able to steer clear of these developments by focusing on high-end niche markets: in seven out of the past eight years, more orders were acquired than delivered. Since 2010, the order book has nearly tripled. As a consequence, German shipyards have expanded their workforce.

The German Federal Office of Statistics recorded an 8% increase in the number of permanent positions at shipyards in 2018.

The strong order book offers shipyards a solid planning basis to further optimise production in preparation of future challenges, which are sure to come.

The German supply industry is weathering the difficult global market sentiment equally well. While suppliers in some segments have been struggling with the lasting, low newbuild activity for most standard ship types, they have repeatedly succeeded in generating business by bringing innovative solutions to market. Products and systems that are primarily used on passenger ships are in particularly high demand, leading to a growing need for qualified staff.

Status Report Findings

The latest government-ordered status report on the development of the maritime sector in Germany has confirmed the key role that shipping, shipbuilding and ports play in Germany’s competitive position.

In 2017, German shipbuilders chalked up a turnover of around EUR 5.88 billion. And order books were healthy, with orders in hand worth EUR 17.94 billion. German shipbuilding thus had an 18.8% share of the world market and accounted for more than half of European shipbuilding.

As of 30 November 2018, German shipping companies have owned about 2,150 merchant ships, making it the fifth largest fleet in the world. The capacity of the container-ship fleet is the largest in the world, accounting for 16.4% of the total amount.

Annual turnover is estimated to be around EUR 50 billion. Up to 400,000 jobs depend directly or indirectly on the maritime sector, making this branch one of the most important in Germany.

About 60% of goods exported by Germany, and a large percentage of its raw material imports, are transported by ship. The onward march of globalisation and a rise in world trade will further increase the volume of overseas trade.

Regaining the Initiative

At present, 98% of all civil, oceangoing vessels that German shipbuilders construct are ordered by foreign shipping companies.

75% of German-made marine machines and equipment are also exported. when an industry depends that strongly on international cooperation, the increasing Asian dominance on the world stage – in general, but in the maritime industry as well – is not something to take lightly.

Asian competitors are also aiming to penetrate the high-tech shipbuilding market.

And, as the pressure on the industry continues, many governments feel prompted to intervene in the market and resort to subsidies and protectionist measures to shield their domestic industries.

“It is a sign of realism that the discussion has shifted from focusing only on the opportunities offered by china to viewing China as a rival system as well”, says dr Reinhard lüken, General manager VSm, at VSm’s Annual meeting in may 2019.

“New ferries for the baltic Sea are currently being ordered mostly from china, where yards offer discount prices thanks to generous government support. For decades, we have been seeing these kinds of market distortions without being able to devise any form of discipline. This has to change if we want sustainable, healthy markets.”

The Meaning of Fair Trade

during VSm’s Start-of-year meeting in berlin, guest speaker Jonathan holslag, International Politics professor at the Free University of brussels, was already giving out some clear warnings. while noting that German shipbuilding does not only stand for high-tech and highly qualified jobs but is also a world market leader, he stressed that the developments in the sector are an example of everything that is going wrong in Europe.

Prof dr holslag stated that “In this new era of global turbulence, Europe needs to regain the initiative, obtain strength and redefine it.” his firm conclusion was, “do not assume that the challenges from china will decrease in the future. The plans of the chinese government indicate the opposite.”

Norbert brackmann, mdb, co-ordinator of the State Government for marine Science, discussed the meaning of fair trade on the world market and the growing distortion of competition. “If we do not manage to make significant progress in combating protectionism and take a stand, we will face large problems on the international market,” he said. harald Fassmer, President at VSm, called upon politics and industry to act: “Only if we stand together now, both on a national and on a European scale, and use all factors consistently, can we maintain our exceptional maritime capacities. we still have the possibility of preparing and drawing up an alternative. but we have no time to lose and must start making giant leaps instead of small steps.”

Maritime Agenda 2025 The German government aims to continue to ensure that the maritime sector in Germany is structurally sound and that it can develop its potential worldwide.

The government’s maritime Agenda 2025 recognises the macro-economic importance of the branch. The main fields of action laid out in the Agenda include enhancing sustainability in shipping and stepping up the contribution made by maritime technology to ushering in the energy shift, and thus putting Germany’s energy mix on a more sustainable basis.

The coalition agreement expressly states its intention of realising the goals laid out in this agenda.

VSM’s Start-of-Year meeting in Berlin.

motto, ‘deutschland maritim: global.smart. green’ (maritime Germany: global – smart – green), spotlighted the current challenges facing the sector: globalisation, digitalisation and sustainability. chancellor Angela merkel, patron of the conference, underlined the pivotal importance of the branch for the country as a whole, by stating that “The maritime sector is an important driver of growth for Germany’s economy.” ms merkel stressed that exciting times lie ahead, with opportunities outweighing challenges. She pointed out that Germany has one of the world’s largest merchant navies, and German industry throughout the country benefits from its strong ports and their hinterland connections. chancellor merkel also called on the decision-makers from the realms of politics, business and civil society who had gathered on the banks of lake constance for the conference, to support the fight against climate change. In order to reduce the cO2 emissions caused by shipping, she argued, fuels must be developed on the basis of renewable technologies along with alternative engine technology, including fuel cells.

Level Playing Field

The National maritime conference didn’t only focus on intensifying the national and European efforts to create a level playing field in the global shipbuilding market. The conference’s shipbuilding industry forum (Forum Schiffbauindustrie) also discussed national issues, including collaboration with the German government as a customer, new developments in the labour market and cutting red tape by simplifying bureaucracy.

The need to significantly intensify joint efforts to further develop existing and new smart and eco-friendly technologies was also addressed. The maritime energy transition can become a reality, but it represents a challenge the market cannot overcome alone.

The conference was held right before the European elections, thus offering a welcome opportunity to underline the vital importance of European policy for the competitiveness and global position of the German shipbuilding industry.

“Finding common solutions will help us all strengthen our global capabilities. It is time for Europe to represent its interests in the global arena with great confidence”, stressed VSm’s President, mr Fassmer. “The National maritime conference can have a significant impact in pushing its agenda in this context: Germany wants a strong

maritime industry and is willing to make a significant effort, together with its European partners.”

In view of all this, VSm summarised its concept for a strong maritime Germany as follows: – Increase joint investments in maritime education, research and development; – create incentives to support the market success of sustainable maritime technologies; – Advocate smart, responsible public procurement and collaboration in an atmosphere of mutual trust instead of excessive bureaucracy; – Not only demand, but jointly enforce a level playing field. i. vsm.de

ontainerships are getting increasingly larger. Whereas a cargo capacity of 8,500Teu was quite impressive at the start of this century, these days 20,000TEU is nothing unusual. msc gülsün takes things even further with a record-size capacity of 23,756TEU. The vessel is owned by MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and was built at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) Geoje shipyard in South Korea. It is the first in a new class of >23,000TEU vessels being built

by MSC. In 2019-2020, the company is planning to build a total of eleven new container ship giants, six of which will be built by SHI. Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) is constructing the other five MSC container ships, also in South Korea.

MSC Gülsün is 399m long and 61.5m wide and is the first vessel of its kind that can transport 24 containers side-by-side across the breadth of its hull. it is also equipped with more than 2,000 refrigerated containers, boosting the trade of food, drink, pharmaceuticals and other chilled and frozen items between asia and europe.

However, MSC Gülsün isn’t just big, it is also remarkably efficient and even environmentally friendly. “We have one great passion: the sea. That’s why we keep investing in the latest technologies to protect the oceans and the environment”, says Giuseppe Gargiulo, Head of newbuildings at msc mediterranean Shipping Company. “MSC Gülsün pioneers shipbuilding innovation, putting environmental performance first.

biggest vessel of its kind, but has the lowest carbon footprint by design.”

Improved Energy Efficiency

Ocean container-shipping is one of the more environmentally friendly forms of cargo transportation, producing lower CO2 emissions per unit carried compared to other forms of freight transportation, such as planes, trains, trucks or barges. MSC Gülsün’s improved energy efficiency and fuel economy ensure that MSC is on track to meet international 2030 environmental policy targets set by the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO) ahead of time.

To comply with an upcoming marine-fuel regulation in 2020, the vessel is also equipped with a UN IMO-approved, hybrid exhaust gas cleaning system and has the option of switching to low-sulphur fuel, or to be adapted for liquefied natural gas in the future.

“MSC Gülsün sets a new standard in container shipping, in particular in terms of environmental performance”, says Mr Gargiulo. “Bigger ships generally emit less CO2 per container carried, helping companies which move goods on MSC’s services between Asia and Europe to lower the carbon footprint of their supply chains.”

The vessel has a range of features to make it even more efficient than previous

generations of container ships, such as a modern engine to optimise speed, a more efficient propeller and systems to reduce drag (friction) while moving through water.

An optimum bow hull form and bulbous bow design with a new operation profile contributes to power saving by reducing hull resistance. State-of-the-art engineering minimises wind resistance, resulting in lower fuel consumption. An adjustment in the rudder bulb diameter and length also contributes to power saving. In addition, there are electric connections for shore power and a hybrid exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS).

Crew and Cargo Safety

The innovations on board MSC Gülsün also extend to her cargo and the health and safety of her crew. For example, there is both a reinforced hull and a 3D hull condition assessment programme to protect equipment and minimise marine pollution in the event of an accident. A new, dual-tower fire-fighting system with high-capacity pumps has been installed on deck. In the event of fire, a substantial amount of water is automatically released by the fire monitor, reducing the risks for crews and improving firefighting conditions. Further, a large amount of water from the accommodation and the funnel is sprayed onto the source of

the fire to cool down the surrounding area and prevent the spread of the fire. “Ensuring crew and cargo safety is our number-one priority”, says Mr Gargiulo. “This is why MSC Gülsün sets the standard for safety aboard container ships.”

With fast data transmission to shore, connections for smart containers and widespread internet coverage for the crew, MSC Gülsün is also prepared for the next steps in digital shipping. i. msc.com

Jumbo Tests Bio-Fuel Oil Partners with GooDfuels on renewable fuel ProJect Dutch partnership completes a first successful low-carbon, biofuel test in the offshore support sector.

H

eavy-lift installation contractor Jumbo Maritime has partnered with sustainable marine biofuel company Goodfuels to test its new marine bio-fuel oil. in august, Jumbo’s hlcV fairplayer left rotterdam for an eleven-day offshore decommissioning project. instead of using fossil fuel, the vessel was running on renewable fuel; supplied by Goodfuels’ logistics partner Varo energy. “sustainable innovation is one of our top priorities and we were keen to work together with Goodfuels on this project”, says wout Janssens, Director operations & engineering at Jumbo. “our first impression is absolutely positive. we are pleasantly surprised by the potential of the marine bio-fuel oil.”

No Alterations Required

Goodfuels’ second generation sustainable biofuels are produced from 100% forest residues and waste products. the marine

fuel is expected to deliver 80% - 90% wellto-propeller co2-reduction versus fossil equivalents. it also does not generate any sulphur oxide (sox) emissions. another benefit is that it is a drop-in biofuel, which is easy to implement in any vessel because it is compatible with current engine and tank infrastructures and requires no alterations. “we cleaned one of our tanks, but the engineers at Goodfuels said that wasn’t even necessary”, says Mr Janssens. “we did not notice any real difference. there were no issues with speed, temperatures or fouling. while we still need to evaluate the test-run with Goodfuels, for now, the dropin fuel does seem to be comparable in performance to fossil fuel.”

Jumbo is applying the latest green techniques to new vessel designs. at the same time, it is also looking at ways to make the existing fleet more sustainable. “some

Green ship technoloGy of our vessels were built ten to fifteen years ago and it isn’t really an option to just refit them with new engines”, says Mr Janssens. “it seems renewable oil is a very good alternative that can be used in the transition period to a greener shipping industry.”

Viable Alternative

the partnership with Jumbo gave Goodfuels the opportunity to test the bio-fuel oil in the offshore sector. it had previously completed deliveries to Danish bulk carrier norDen a/s and french container liner cMa-cGM. “this was the first time the marine bio-fuel oil was used on a vessel with a four-stroke engine, and we are very happy with Jumbo’s positive response”, says Goodfuels ceo and founder Dirk Kronemeijer. “it is a major signal to the offshore industry, which is currently transitioning from oil and gas to renewables. we’re hoping that this project will set the ball rolling for other ship operators to consider the marine bio-fuel oil as a viable alternative.” according to Mr Kronemeijer, there is enough biofuel to fuel a significant chunk of the shipping industry – without any compromise to sustainability. “a lot of different studies have been carried out to measure the available biomass and compare it to the maximum levels of energy needed for the entire transport industry. almost all of them indicated there is enough biofuel to meet this demand”, he says. “next to that, we expect to see a channel shift from cars to those industries that are hardest to make sustainable: the maritime and aviation sectors and heavy road transport. for

passenger transport, the electric car is already an excellent alternative.” the biggest challenge now is to increase availability, so that bio-fuel oil is readily available for shipping operators. “as soon as the demand is there, we are able to expand the geographic availability and supply sufficient quantities of the marine biofuel”, says Mr Kronemeijer. “this is why we are so proud of our co-operation with Jumbo. together with our new partner, we will continue to fulfil our mission as accelerators of the energy transition, which we have already achieved in the general shipping industry, by now making strides in the offshore support market.”

GoodFuels’ sustainable Bio-fuel Oil MR1-100: • up to 90% co2 reduction from well to propeller (co2 neutral when measured from tank to propeller); • eliminates sulphur oxide (sox) emissions; • compatible with the current engine and tank infrastructure; • this drop-in biofuel is easy to implement in any vessel; • replacement for low-sulphur fuel oil and/or heavy fuel oil; • Made from 100% sustainable feedstock.

t is a little-known fact that more than 40% of all engine failures in machines are caused by a problem in the cooling system.

“One of the main reasons for this is that owners and operators often underestimate the importance of quality coolants”, says Vincent Meijer, Marketing Specialist at Valvoline Europe. “When it comes to maintenance, you automatically think ‘engine oil’. However, using high-quality coolant is just as important.”

A recent campaign in the Netherlands has confirmed that coolants are often overlooked. Valvoline approached a selection of prospective customers with heavy-duty engines and offered to test their coolant condition. In total, 80 samples were

taken from 70 different prospects, which were then sent to Polaris, an independent partner laboratory in poland. “the results were absolutely shocking”, says Mr Meijer.

“Of the 80 samples, 70% showed some sort of abnormality and were labelled as a concern that required action to be taken.

However, 20% of the samples were so worrying, that we advised operators to take immediate action.”

Among the common problems found was the use of wrong coolant technology, coolants mixed with other types of coolants or coolants topped up with normal tap water. Mr Meijer continues, “Some coolants had not been changed for a very long time, which meant the important additives had

Monitoring an Engine’s Health

the recent test campaign shows the need for better education on the importance of using good-quality coolant and the relevance of frequent coolant sampling. “timely maintenance is essential to guarantee productivity and minimise expensive servicing costs”, says Jos Noordover, Commercial Manager at Valvoline Europe. “but replacing any type of fluid should be determined by its current condition and remaining durability, not by a calendar on a wall.”

According to Mr Noordover, the solution is to have a predictive maintenance schedule rather than a preventative maintenance schedule. Owners and operators must start by understanding the condition of the different fluids inside an engine. fluid analysis monitors the health of an engine by examining all of its fluids, such as diesel fuel, engine oil, coolant and greases. “gathering data about the fluids that help

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

your equipment perform is critical, but the data alone won’t solve a potential problem”, says Mr Noordover. “With our fluid analysis, we have analysed engine products from all major OEM’s and fluid suppliers. this knowledge allows us to interpret the data from the engine fluids and provide operators with actionable recommendations.”

Traditional Not Always Best

Engine manufacturers are reducing weight to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by replacing heavy cast-iron and steel components with lighter aluminium.

However, the nitrite organic acid commonly used in traditional engine coolant formulations reacts with the flux used to braze aluminium parts together, warns Mr Meijer. “this reaction can change the coolant’s acidity and could potentially increase the risk of metal corrosion, leading to undissolved solids and residues that can block filters, coat heat exchangers and cause scale on cylinder liners, all of which can prevent heat from escaping. this can cause localised hot spots and potentially lead to fuel pre-ignition.”

the chemical reaction can also cause the coolant’s nitrite levels and corrosion inhibitors to deplete more rapidly, resulting in a shorter lifespan for the coolant. “this is usually countered by adding expensive supplementary additives, but the over-use of nitrites can itself lead to damage to aluminium heat exchangers, resulting in leaks”, says Mr Noordover. “We have developed a nitrite-free coolant, which incorporates next-generation additives and corrosion inhibitors that are non-depleting and are compatible with both modern aluminium as well as traditional iron and steel coolant system components.” the new coolant technology has already been tested in a wide range of circumstances, says Mr Noordover. “It has proved to offer superb corrosion protection and reliability that enables the coolant to maintain its performance for up to one million kilometres and/or 20,000 hours of operation. this means operators may no longer need to add supplementary additives throughout the life of a typical engine.” i. valvoline.com

DREDGING VESSELS & EQUIPMENT

VERSATILE NEW TRAILING SUCTION HOPPER DREDGER BONNY RIVER JOINS THE DEME-FLEET AND HEADS STRAIGHT TO WORK.

T

he Bonny River had only just been delivered to DEME when it was almost immediately sent on its first assignment. The 15,000m3 vessel is part of a new generation of trailing suction hopper dredgers. It is able to dredge very hard soils and can work in waters up to 102m deep. The versatile new dredger combines a very long suction pipe and large carrying capacity with a limited draught. Additionally, the TSHD has a heavy-duty trail pipe with a rock draghead.

Environmental Innovations

Bonny River was built by Royal IHC, who subcontracted the construction works to COSCO Guangdong Shipyard in China.

The TSHD has a large jet pipe on her portside suction tube that uses extracted overflow water from the hopper that is pumped back to the seabed and integrated into the dredging process.

This enables the vessel to achieve closed-loop dredging, whereby the turbidity generated by the process water is eliminated. This is particularly important in environmentally sensitive areas. Moreover, the shape of the hull and two-speed propulsion gearbox reduce fuel consumption considerably.

Bonny River is a full DP2 trailing suction hopper dredger – the first of its kind – which allows the vessel to manoeuvre with pinpoint precision.

The dredger is driven by two SCHOTTEL Controllable Pitch Propellers with an input power of 8,000kW each and a propeller diameter of 4.5m. It reaches a speed of approximately 16 knots.

Beyond this, maximum manoeuvrability and propulsion efficiency are provided by three tunnel thrusters – two STT 3 FP (750kW each, in the bow) and one STT 5 FP (1,500kW, in the stern) – which can be demounted from above.

Trailing suction hopper dredger Bonny River joins the DEME-fleet.

the New Lock Terneuzen project in the Netherlands. With the reclamation, the first phase of the plateau will be realised, from which the new lock will be built. The reclamation was combined with deepening works in the outer harbour of Terneuzen. Afterwards, Bonny River set course for the Belgian North Sea to backfill approximately 45km of trenches for Belgian transmission system operator Elia’s Modular Offshore grid project, covering and protecting the high-voltage export power cables from the Offshore Switch Yard to Zeebrugge.

Fleet Investment Programme

The acquisition of Bonny River is part of DEME’s multi-year fleet investment programme. Three other dredging vessels are under construction, including Spartacus – the most powerful cutter suction dredger in the world – trailing suction hopper dredgers Meuse River and River Thames and two 3,500m3 split hopper barges.

change in regulations governing the discharge of wastewater in coastal waters by Croatian authorities has necessitated the installation of wastewater treatment units on existing vessels operating in the area. Earlier this year, ACO Marine successfully completed the commissioning of wastewater treatment units aboard the RoPax ferries Sveti Krševan, Supetar and Cres, operated by Croatian owner Jadrolinija.

The three 87.6m vessels were each retrofitted with a Clarimar MF-2 biologicaltype sewage treatment plant at the Dalmont shipyard in Kraljevica, Croatia. Italian company La Fornitrice, ACO Marine’s engineering partner in the region, completed the commissioning of the systems. “Jadrolinija is a long-standing customer of La Fornitrice, so we were delighted to have won the national tender

for supplying the ACO Marine system to these vessels. The project is a good reference for La Fornitrice in that the contract includes the after-sales servicing of the Clarimar units”, says La Fornitrice Managing Director Robert Devetak.

More Operationally Efficient

Prior to the installation and commissioning of the Clarimar units, the 600-passengercapacity ferries collected the effluent in holding tanks. In the busy summer months, this meant that the tanks needed emptying on a daily basis.

ACO Marine Managing Director Mark Beavis says: “The storage of a vessel’s wastewater streams in onboard holding tanks is not the most operationally efficient solution. The use of port reception facilities can be costly and also delay ship turn-around times.”

Mr Beavis continues, “Balancing foot-print, corrosion-resistance and safety with reliability and price is what sets the MF apart from other systems in the market. All our Clarimar units are supplied with a life-time guarantee against corrosion of the tank.”

Coastal City Pollution Control

Until recently, Croatia did not have strict or detailed regulations governing the discharge of wastewater into its coastal waters.

In 2015, Croatian authorities completed the Coastal City Pollution Control Project, putting an end to indiscriminate discharging practices, and mandating solutions for treating and monitoring wastewater discharges.

“We anticipate a run of orders from Croatiabased ship operators as they look to retrofit wastewater treatment systems to meet the new requirements”, says Mr Beavis. He adds: “ACO technology was accepted by Jadrolinija as suitable to upgrade their wastewater handling arrangements. The successful installation the first units resulted in La Fornitrice winning another national tender in July for the use of the Clarimar system in the retrofitting of an additional five ferries in the Jadrolinija fleet.”

These five vessels, all of the same class – Hrvat, Juraj Dalmatinac, Marjan, Jadran, and Biokovo – will each be fitted out with the larger Clarimar MF-3 units, which La Fornitrice will supply from mid-October 2019. Jadrolinija manages a fleet of more than 50 passenger ferries operating between the mainland and the Croatian islands of the Adriatic.

RoPax ferries Sveti Krševan, Supetar and Cres were each retrofitted with a Clarimar MF-2 biological-type sewage treatment plant.

The larger Clarimar MF-3 unit will be installed in five Jadrolinija vessels.

n 2017, the iMo Marine environment Protection Committee (MePC) reached a compromise on the BWM Convention’s implementation dates for existing vessels. the principal reason for this decision was that the type-approval standards adopted for the new treatment systems were unable to ensure that the equipment would actually meet the Convention’s treatment standards and be acceptable to all Port state Control authorities worldwide. this compromise has given existing vessels more time to meet the new D-2 standard. scientists first recognised the signs of the introduction of an alien species after a mass

occurrence of the Asian phytoplankton algae odontella (Biddulphia sinensis) in the north sea in 1903. But it was not until the 1970s that the scientific community began reviewing the topic in detail. the issue with invasive species in ships’ ballast water is largely due to the expanded trade and traffic volume over the last few decades and, since the volumes of seaborne trade continue to increase, the problem may not yet have reached its peak. this spread of invasive species is now recognised as one of the greatest threats to the ecological and economic well-being of the planet. iMo is at the front of the international effort, taking the lead in addressing this concern.

Ballast Water ManageMent

What is the real difference between the D-1 and D-2 standards? the difference is that D-1 relates to ballast water exchange, while D-2 specifies the maximum number of viable organisms allowed to be discharged, including specified indicator microbes harmful to human health.

D-1 standard the D-1 standard requires vessels to conduct an exchange of ballast water such that at least 95% of water by volume is exchanged far away from the coast. ideally, this means at least 200nm from land, and in water at least 200m deep.

D-2 standard the D-2 standard specifies that vessels can only discharge ballast water that meets the following criteria: fewer than ten viable organisms per m3 which are greater than or equal to 50Âľm in minimum dimension; fewer than ten viable organisms per ml which are between 10Âľm and 50Âľm in minimum dimension; less than 1 colony-forming unit (cfu) per 100ml of toxicogenic vibrio cholerae; less than 250cfu per 100ml of escherichia coli; and less than 100cfu per 100ml of intestinal enterococci.

The D-2 standard specifies that vessels can only discharge ballast water that meets strict criteria for viable organisms per m3.

As of 2017, vessels have had to manage their ballast water and ensure that aquatic organisms and pathogens are removed or rendered harmless before the ballast water is released into a new location. that means that vessels in international traffic are required to manage their ballast water and sediments according to a certain standard, set by a vessel-specific, ballast-water management plan. the ballast-water management plan should include a detailed description of the actions that are taken to implement the ballast-water management requirements and supplemental ballastwater management practices. A ballastwater record book is also mandatory. each vessel needs to note when and where ballast water is taken on board and discharged into the sea. furthermore, the circulation and treatment of ballast water has to be logged. the record should also show when ballast water is discharged into a reception facility and when accidental or other exceptional discharges of ballast water are made. Additionally, an international Ballast Water Management Certificate is required for ships of 400gt and above. this Certificate is issued by, or on behalf of, the Administration (flag state) and certifies that the ship carries out ballastwater management in accordance with the BWM Convention. it also specifies which standard the ship is complying with, as well as the date of expiry of the Certificate. the next five years, until 8 september 2024, mark the second phase of the BWM implementation. if not already fitted with

a BWM system for the D-2 standard, all vessels in international transit and with ballast water capacity or tanks must be fitted with a D-2-compliant ballast-water treatment system by then. the D-2 standard specifies the maximum number of viable organisms

allowed to be discharged, including specified indicator microbes harmful to human health. for most vessels, this involves installing special equipment to treat the ballast water. i. imo.org

BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT

Ballast Water News THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR BALLAST WATER TREATMENT. DISCOVER WHAT THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS ARE.

Pure Confidence with Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 is the third generation of Alfa Laval’s ballast water treatment technology.

PureBallast 3 is a UV solution offering biological disinfection in the most challenging situations, including freezing conditions, heavily sedimented waters and waters with low UV transmittance. It is type-approved by the US Coast Guard and has IMO-revised, G8 type approval. Available in a range of system versions, including skid-mounted and Ex configurations, PureBallast 3 offers customers flexibility. With UV reactors in sizes from 170m3/h up to 1,500m3/h, it provides a solution for any type of vessel. Even large ballast water flows can be accommodated with a small footprint and low power consumption. i. alfalaval.com

BIO-SEA Easy-To-Fit Meets BWTS Retrofit Market Requirements BIO-UV Group has unveiled a modified, more compact version of its low flow-rate BIO-SEA ballast water treatment system (BWTS) to meet market demand for retrofit installations aboard vessels where engine-room space is limited. The BIO-SEA Easy-To-Fit skid is a modified version of its small flow-rate range of BIO-SEA 30, 60 and 90 units, but incorporates a bolted frame. This allows the system to be delivered as a flat-pack solution and rebuilt onboard, making a skid version possible even for retrofit projects, reducing shipyard installation costs and time. Where machinery spaces are long and narrow, the dismountable BIO-SEA Easy-to-Fit frames can also be split into two BIO-UV GROUP separate skids, with mechanical parts and pipe work on one frame and BOOTH NO. electrical components on another.

Desmi Secures Three Frame Agreements with Smallest BWMS Danish company Desmi Ocean Guard has developed a ballast water management system with the smallest footprint so far. Just 3m2 is necessary to house a 1,000m3/h system. The first treatment step is filtration, followed by UV-treatment. During de-ballasting, UV-treatment is repeated. The system also has a unique, integrated stripping solution. Use of ejectors for ballast-tank stripping jeopardises compliance with the IMO and USCG discharge standards because untreated drive water is mixed with treated ballast water.

CompactClean is fitted with a filter back-flush pump that can be used as a dedicated stripping pump during de-ballasting. Desmi Ocean Guard has recently signed framework DESMI OCEAN GUARD agreements with Stolt Tankers, Sea Tankers and DFDS Seaways for BOOTH NO. retrofitting their existing fleet with the CompactClean BWMS.

Offshore Development Helping Drive Optimarin Growth The recovery of the offshore shipping segment is playing a key role in driving the revenues of ballast water treatment specialist Optimarin to new heights. The Norway-based business has just signed a number of fleet agreements, including a contract with Island Offshore for 19 systems. The IMO D-2 ballast water compliance deadline is causing the market pick-up across the board.

Recent orders at Optimarin span everything from cruise vessels to cement carriers. Optimarin has sold around 850 of its USCG and IMO-compliant Optimarin Ballast Systems (OBS), with over 600 installed and operational worldwide, of which almost 50% are retrofits. i. optimarin.com

Both Wärtsilä BWM-Systems Obtain USCG Type Approval Wärtsilä recently became the first ballast water management system supplier to be granted dual technology USCG Type Approval. The company provides customers with two product series in their Aquarius Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) range. One is based on filter UV and the other on filter side-stream electro-chlorination (EC). During uptake for both systems, seawater is first passed through an automatic back-washing filter.

In the EC-system, during discharge, disinfectant is produced by an efficient in-situ side-stream electro-chlorination process. In the UV-system, the filtered sea water passes through a UV chamber where ultra-violet light is used to disinfect the water prior to entering the ballast tank. i. wartsila.com

Named in Ice, with Ice HYBRID CRUISE SHIP MS ROALD AMUNDSEN MAKES MARITIME HISTORY

JUST LIKE HER NAMESAKE, MS ROALD AMUNDSEN IS SOMETHING OF A PIONEER. THE EXPEDITION VESSEL MADE MARITIME HISTORY THIS summer by being the first cruise ship in the world to sail purely on battery power. And she will continue to make history by being the first-ever vessel to have a naming ceremony in Antarctica.

A

s if having a naming ceremony in Antarctica isn’t unique enough, Hurtigruten’s newest hybrid-powered cruise ship MS Roald Amundsen is to be christened with a block of ice, rather than a bottle of champagne. It is a re-creation of a naming ceremony the famous polar explorer himself used in 1917. The christening will take place this autumn, during the vessel’s maiden Antarctica voyage. “We can think of no better place to name the truly unique MS Roald Amundsen than the waters of Antarctica; where no ship has ever been christened before”, says Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam.

When explorer Roald Amundsen led the first expedition through the Northeast Passage, he christened his expedition ship Maud with

a chunk of ice. Before crushing the ice against her bow, he stated: “It is not my intention to dishonour the glorious grape, but already now you shall get the taste of your real environment. For the ice you have been built, and in the ice, you shall stay most of your life, and in the ice, you shall solve your tasks.” To honour Roald Amundsen and his explorer heritage, Hurtigruten will revive his ritual during the naming ceremony in Antarctica. “We will pay our respects to our oceans, the environment and past and present explorers”, says Mr Skjeldam.

and environmentally sustainable hybrid technology. Emissions are cut by sailing with electrical propulsion. The hybrid system consists of large battery packs that compensate for spinning reserve and aid in peak shaving. The extra electric power allows the engines to function at optimal levels, while innovative, sustainable technology reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the vessel by 20%. The ship also has the option of running solely on battery power for limited periods of time, which means no fuel spent and zero emissions. “MS Roald Amundsen will show the world that hybrid propulsion on large ships is possible”, says Mr Skjeldam. “This ship will revolutionise the way we explore and propel the cruise industry towards better sustainability.”

Hybrid propulsion is just one of several advanced solutions implemented throughout the vessel. MS Roald Amundsen is ice-class PC6 and has an advanced hull construction purpose-built for polar waters.

The front of this hull is designed with a patented wave-piercing bow for smoother

sailing. Beneath the ship, hydrodynamic propellers attached to magnetic motors reduce drag, noise, and vibration, and improve manoeuvrability. All of the hydraulic oils and lubricants used are biodegradable and each system is connected to a heat exchange network that efficiently recovers surplus energy.

Special Features

The ship is specifically constructed for voyages in polar waters and serves as a comfortable base camp at sea. Mr Skjeldam: “It will bring adventurers from all over the world to the most spectacular destinations in the most sustainable way. The stunning scenery is reflected in a rich and comfortable interior design. Scandinavian materials from nature, such as granite, oak, birch and wool are used to create relaxed and stylish cabins and public areas.” All cabins are on the outside and half of them have private balconies, while the aft suites feature private outdoor hot tubs.

One of the most eye-catching exterior design features is the two-level

sing Lng in the shipping industry could potentially reduce co2 emissions by 15% to 30% and sulphur dioxide and particulate matter by more than 90%. sajir is one of the seventeen vessels in Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet that were originally designed to be Lng-ready.

Her sixteen sister ships are also technically prepared for retrofitting. “by converting sajir, we will be the first shipping company in the world to retrofit a container ship of this size to Lng propulsion”, says richard von berlepsch, Managing director fleet Management at Hapag-Lloyd. “by carrying out this unprecedented pilot, we hope to learn for the future and pave the way for large ships to be retrofitted to use this alternative fuel.” the conversion will be carried out in the shanghai-based shipyard Huarun dadong dockyard. during its time at the shipyard, the ship’s fuel system and its existing heavyfuel-oil burning engine will be converted into a dual-fuel engine. the plan will be to operate the vessel using Lng, but operation on low-sulphur fuel oil (Lsfo) will also be possible as a backup.

Planning for the Future

sajir is one of seventeen vessels originally owned by the United arab shipping company (Uasc). they were integrated into Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet following the merger between the two shipping companies in 2017. at the time of their construction, around 2014, Uasc was strongly interested in using Lng as fuel and developing future technology, but at that time, shipyards and engine-designers were not yet able to carry this out. it was therefore decided to design these vessels to be Lng-ready, with a future conversion in mind.

Mr von berlepsch says: “we believe that this conversion project is important for the entire container-ship industry, as we want to show that it is possible to convert a vessel of this size. depending on how the conversion goes, Hapag-Lloyd may retrofit more of its Lng-ready vessels.”

Tight Schedule

the modification will take place in the second quarter of 2020 and should be completed in 105 days at Huaron dadong

The conversion will be carried out in the Shanghai-based shipyard Huarun Dadong Dockyard.

Dockyard. In order to meet that tight deadline, most of the components will be completely manufactured and assembled before reaching the shipyard.

The main aspects of the retrofit include alterations such as integration of the LNG tank into the existing structure, extension of the engine control system for LNG, adjustment of the waste-heat recovery and power management system, installation of an emergency shutdown system, piping (partly double wall), a gas-supply system, bunker station, modification of the firefighting, alarm and monitoring systems – to name just a few. It also includes crew training, respective certificates and the development of bunker procedure. The biggest challenge will be the integration of the LNG tank into the existing structure. The

1,300 metric-tonne tank will hold around 6,700m3 of LNG. The tank will be prefabricated and fitted into the vessel by a crane.

LNG Bunkering Infrastructure

If all goes to plan, Sajir will go back to sea in the fourth quarter of 2020, initially in trial operation. The ship will be bunkered via a bunker barge and Hapag-Lloyd is currenlty in discussions with the ports of Rotterdam and Singapore to see what is necessary to carry out bunkering and operations at the same time. These bunkering operations would add to the LNG bunkering infrastructure and could stimulate other operators to convert their vessels to LNG.

LNG-ready design Sajir is one of the vessels that was built to be LNG-Ready, in line with DNVGL regulations.

These vessels have: • Dual-fuel auxiliary engines (HIMSEN) – ready for retrofit; • Dual-fuel burner for auxiliary boiler (ALPH LAVAL); • Dual-fuel main engine (MAN) – ready for retrofit; • LNG-segments on main switchboard; • Spaces for Gas Valve Units (GVU) provided in the engine room; • Approval in Principle (AIP) and Hazard Identification Study from DNVGL.

outfitters JRC/Alphatron Marine Announces New AlphaHeatDetectionSystem

Chevron Launches Gear Oils for Marine Clutched Gear Systems Chevron Marine Lubricants have introduced a new range of gear oils designed for use in industrial and marine clutched gear systems, where extreme-load and shock-load protection is required. The gear-box oils are designed to ensure optimal performance in Renk and Flender/Siemens, Reintjes and Brunvoll clutched gear boxes and they carry approvals from these manufacturers. The Meropa MG gear oils help provide both extreme pressure protection and defence against yellow metal corrosion. i. chevronmarineproducts.com

JRC/Alphatron Marine’s AlphaHeatDetectionSystem can detect the heat of a fire even before smoke or flames can be seen. The system can identify and prevent hazardous situations for all types of RoPax vessels. The thermal network has been extensively tested with different fire scenarios, taking into account the effects of ventilation, weather and other relevant factors. It can also be monitored through satellite connection. The tests were carried out on board Stena Scandinavica JRC/ALPHATRON and the system has already been installed on sistership Stena Transit.
