NEWS IN BRIEF DNV selected to lead ammonia bunkering safety study
DNV has been selected to lead an ammonia bunkering safety study by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in Singapore. The pioneering study aims to define a robust set of safety guidelines and operational envelopes that will establish the basis of a regulatory sandbox for ammonia bunkering trials at two local sites. To that end, DNV will team up with Singapore’s leading infrastructure developer Surbana Jurong and the Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA). DNV’s work scope will comprise ammonia demand forecasting, bunkering site recommendations, the development of conceptual designs of bunkering modes like truck to ship or ship to ship, HAZID/HAZOP/QRA studies, as well as drafting of technical and operational guidelines.
KM to supply 20 state-of-the-art azimuth thruster units Kongsberg Maritime is excited to announce that it has recently signed a sizeable contract with Sanmar Shipyards in Turkey to deliver 20 highperformance, future-proof US205FP and US255FP thruster units for installation on new Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tugboats. This contract win is particularly significant as one of the tugs, a 60-ton Bollard Pull (BP) vessel, is the first of a gamechanging, next-generation design by the renowned towage company Svitzer and the internationally recognized naval architects Robert Allan Ltd. This new first-in-class TRAnsverse 2600 tug can generate higher steering forces than other tugs of a similar size, and is uniquely capable of pushing, pulling and manoeuvring in all directions. KM’s reputation for customer flexibility is underlined by the bespoke adaptations to its US205S FP (Fixed Pitch) azimuth thrusters which have been agreed with Svitzer for this order.
