NEWS IN BRIEF Shaping for the future Originated in 1965, Stigterstaal has become a brand in the shipbuilding industry for the supply of shipbuilding steel plates and profiles from stock. The company is focused on building long-term relationships and keen on strengthening the worldwide supply chain. Traditionally, Stigterstaal merely started with the delivery of materials from stock (40,000t of marine grade plates and profiles) whereby they could provide flexibility to their valued customer as well as creating a buffer for ‘late’ deliveries from the mill. Although this large stock is still the backbone of the company, Stigterstaal slowly transferred into a role as chain director and one-stop-shop. In this role, they detect the optimal procurement moments in the global steel market to fulfil clients project requirements. On the other side, by teaming up with dedicated partners in the shipbuilding industry, Stigterstaal is able to provide complete building kits in order to optimise logistics, decrease building time and consequently lower costs. i. stigterstaal.com

Sembcorp Marine relies on Schottel’s azimuthal hybrid drive system Sydrive-E for the world’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) hybrid tug. With this first in a series of twelve vessels, Sembcorp Marine will build the world’s first hybrid LNG-fuelled tug fleet that will replace its existing diesel-powered tugs. The vessel is designed by LMG Marin, a wholly owned Sembcorp Marine subsidiary, and a leading naval architecture design house in Bergen, Norway, which provides energy efficient solutions. The tug’s future operation profile in the ports of Singapore will demand highly variable power ranges. Depending on the desired operating mode and the required propulsion power, the hybrid drive system activates the appropriate power source or both together. The LNG-fuelled main engines and the electrical motors are both coupled to the Sydrive system and always operate efficiently within their optimal load ranges, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions and supporting Sembcorp Marine’s efforts in environmental protection. i. schottel.de
