NEWS IN BRIEF Alfa Laval E-PowerPack converts waste heat into power

By converting waste heat directly into electrical power, the Alfa Laval E PowerPack is a game-changing advance in marine sustainability. An all-in-one unit for improving a vessel’s Energy Efficiency Index (EEDI/EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), it removes many tonnes of CO2 per year – and significantly lowers fuel costs. Waste heat is a readily available but under-utilized energy source on board. Heat in the engine exhaust gas accounts for 50% of the energy from combusted fuel, and there is additional heat to recover from steam and liquids. With the launch of the Alfa Laval E PowerPack, shipowners can put all these heat sources to work for savings and compliance with sustainability requirements.

NEWS IN BRIEF A brand-new class of liquid hydrogen tanker C-Job Naval Architects have designed a brandnew class of liquid hydrogen tanker that will revolutionise the renewable energy market. The tanker concept, developed in partnership with LH2 Europe, is a critical element in realising a green end-to-end liquid hydrogen supply chain. LH2 Europe will use the abundant renewable electricity in Scotland to produce green hydrogen and market it at a competitive price with diesel. The new tanker will transport the liquid hydrogen to terminals in Germany, with a strategic vision to expand supply to other markets as demand increases. LH2 Europe in collaboration with C-Job Naval Architects developed an initial design for a liquid hydrogen tanker of 141m and a storage capacity of 37,500m3. i. c-job.com

Scandlines sets itself higher targets than the Paris Agreement Since 2013, Scandlines has invested more than EUR 300 million in building and converting conventional ferries into hybrid ferries. In 2020, the ferry operator added environmentally friendly wind propulsion technology to the list of green initiatives by installing a Norsepower Rotor Sail on the hybrid ferry Copenhagen, which operates on the RostockGedser route between Germany and Denmark. With the Rotor Sail from Finnish Norsepower, Scandlines has reduced CO2 emissions from the hybrid ferry by an average of 4% and, on good days with optimal wind conditions, by as much as 20%. The Rotor Sail – a 30m high rotating cylinder – is a modern version of the Flettner rotor and the technology is based on the Magnus effect. i. scandlines.com

NEWS IN BRIEF

First of three Eco class ro-ro vessels delivered to Finnlines The first of three Eco class ro-ro vessels was delivered to Finnlines at the China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Jiangsu) in China on April 28, 2022. Named the Finneco I, the hybrid vessel is the first part of the company’s EUR 500m newbuilding program. Concept planning began in 2018 with the target of creating the most environmentally friendly vessel to have ever operated in the Baltic Sea. The newbuilding program also includes two eco-sustainable Superstar ro-pax vessels set to be delivered in 2023. Construction of the other two ro-ro vessels is also progressing; Finneco II was launched in August 2021 and Finneco III in November 2021. All three of the hybrid ro-ro vessels are scheduled to enter service with Finnlines on routes in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and Biscay in June 2022. i. finnlines.com

Gas conversions result in demand greater corrosion protection

Fourth electric ferry for the North Sea Canal The fourth electric ferry for the North Sea Canal, the NZK Pont 103, was christened on Thursday 12 May 2022. Inge Keur, Commercial Director of GVB performed the christening. The christening took place in Hardinxveld Giessendam at Holland Shipyards Group (HSG), where the ferry was built. The new ‘plug-in ferries’ will replace all diesel ferries across the North Sea Canal by 2023 at the latest. HSG Director Marco Hoogendoorn thinks it is of great importance for the Netherlands to take the initiative to make shipping more sustainable. Inge Keur, who was allowed to baptise the ferry, spoke of a great honor to be part of a historic revolution in shipping.

Nippon Paint Marine is advising shipowners and shipyards converting existing oil and gas carriers into storage and production units to ensure their fuel, water and cargo tanks are sufficiently protected from corrosion. According to data from the coatings’ specialist, reduced dependence on Russian oil and gas is leading to increased demand for ships able to transport and, in particular, store gas at key locations around the world. It was for the internal carbon steel tanks and pipework of offshore vessels and installations that Nippon Paint Marine’s unique self-indicating NOA60HS coating was certified in 2020 by the Norwegian Technology Standards Institution as meeting the requirements of the NORSOK M-501 standard. i. nipponpaint-marine.com

On its own, the MMIPV project is expected to generate more than one million man-hours of work during the construction of the three MMIPVs and will support more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs at Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT). In addition, the yard is also focusing on nurturing small businesses to maximise local content. Sam Montsi, Chairman of the Damen Shipyards Cape Town Board, comments,

“The delivery is a significant milestone in the story of Damen Shipyards Cape Town. It is the first time that a naval vessel of this calibre has been built at the yard and it is also the first of its class! Despite the COVID 19 pandemic, this beautiful vessel has been built to the required quality level which is an achievement that was realised by South African people, as most of the work and materials that went into the construction were sourced locally. The yard has significantly grown during this process both in the quality of work and the safety standards achieved. This project has also allowed the yard to increase the impact of its transformation strategy by consistently delivering relevant development to the communities of South Africa.” Work on the remaining two vessels is well underway at DSCT, with the second vessel handover being planned for 2023 and the third for 2024. i. damen.com

Revolutionary Orion

On 22 April, Deme’s new offshore installation vessel Orion, which suffered heavy damage after a crane accident shortly before it was planned to be put into service, has arrived at Deme Offshore base in Nieuwdorp, near Vlissingen in the Netherlands after sailing out of Bremerhaven, Germany. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF DEME.

rom there on, the vessel is being prepared for its first project and it received its official naming ceremony, which took place on 29 April. Deme is honoured that Mrs Amélie Michel, spouse of Mr Charles Michel, President of the European Council, has agreed to be the godmother of this unique new vessel. In a traditional Deme naming ceremony, Mrs Michel wished Orion and the crew a safe and successful career in the fleet. Equipped with a 5,000t crane and a Motion Compensated Pile Gripper, Orion is designed to handle the next generation of wind farm components, the vessel owner pointed out.

Arcadis Ost 1 Last year, Parkwind awarded Deme Offshore with an EPCI contract for the foundations at the Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea, with Deme saying the company would deploy Orion for the task. The 216.5m DP3 offshore installation vessel was built by the Cosco Qidong shipyard in China, where it was launched in November 2018 and later sailed out to move to Rostock where it was outfitted with the 5,000t crane. C-Job Naval Architects cocreated the concept design of Orion with Deme. Orion is a front runner in the industry, it is effectively a mega monopile installation machine, and is equipped with a tailor-made, motion compensated gripper system able to handle enormous foundations of up to 2,500t.

received the unique opportunity to get a tour on board. Jan Gabriël, Head Newbuild Department at Deme shares about the innovative nature of the vessel, “Orion has an integrated Motion Compensated Pile Gripper (MCPG), which has been designed by DEME’s and Huisman’s expert engineers. Together with the Orion’s DP3 capability, the MCPG allows the monopiles to remain vertical and stable during installation in the seabed, despite waves and motions of the vessel, and essentially, to be installed without the use of mooring anchors.” Mr Gabriël continues, “With these innovative

technologies and the ability to transport the new giant turbines, jackets, and components in a single shipment, the vessel will speed up installation times drastically, making it an extremely costeffective solution for wind farm developers.” Sustainability considerations are also a vital part of the vessel’s design. Mr Gabriël adds, “Orion has dual fuel engines enabling it to run on LNG or alternative clean fuels, a Green Passport and Clean Design notation. Another environmental innovation is a waste heat recovery system that converts heat from the exhaust gases to electrical energy.

This takes situational awareness to a completely new level, and greatly reduces the risk of accidents and costly damage,” says Sasha Heriot, Head of Product, Assistance Systems, Wärtsilä Voyage. Thanks to the full view – free of blind spots – that it offers, the S.P.E.C.S system solves challenges such as the spotting of small vessels, the monitoring of tug operations, or the potential inaccuracies of manual docking. By eliminating this uncertainty and providing almost perfect situational awareness, S.P.E.C.S greatly reduces risks both in busy harbours and in confined waters.

S.P.E.C.S can provide a birds-eye view of the ship and its surroundings, which is a significant advantage when docking.

Multiple display and workstation options come with a dedicated software package specifically optimised for the hardware. The camera pods are designed to cope with the harshest marine conditions, and the system is not reliant on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Wärtsilä Voyage has hosted an in-person launch event of S.P.E.C.S on 27 April at the Seatrade Cruise Global conference being held in Miami, Florida. i. wartsila.com

Koenigsborg connected Castor Marine is a leading satellite service provider and teleport operator, providing a suite of Global Connectivity Services which are seamlessly integrated and managed through their online portal. These include Global VSAT Ku-band services based on a fully owned and operated global Ku-band network, in addition to L-band and 4G LTE services. Their IT services include the design, implementation, and support of IT systems onboard, and SD-WAN solutions to connect a fleet to the internet. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF CASTOR MARINE.

ecently, Castor Marine has outfitted Wagenborg Offshore’s fourth Walkto-Work (W2W) vessel ‘Koenigsborg’ with a seamless connectivity installation. The VSAT internet and Tampnet 4G connectivity solution provide the crew with continuous communications channels when working on offshore assets, realtime reporting options to onshore teams and, of course, leisure use in downtime. Castor Marine was also contracted for long-term maintenance, including providing and managing the (Wi-Fi) network.

From PSV to W2W Wagenborg Offshore, a subsidiary of Royal Wagenborg, was operating a fleet of three Walk-to-Work vessels when it decided last year to add a fourth ship. The company chose to convert a PSV at Royal Niestern Sander shipyard, the Netherlands, in just six months’ time. The vessel would need to be able to perform multiple offshore support roles and include extra accommodation for housing 40 people. Now that Wagenborg has taken it into service in April, Koenigsborg is deployed in many ways. Firstly, it is a W2W accommodation vessel for platform maintenance tasks. Secondly, it is a Standby & Support Vessel (SSV). Lastly, it is certified to serve as an Emergency Response & Rescue Vessel (ERRV), expanding its operations with rescue work and emergency towing or patrol duties.

2 0 | S B I 2 0 2 2 | Volum e 16 | Issue 3

Castor Marine.indd 20

In addition to the 40-person accommodation module, the ship is equipped with an infirmary, reception rooms, a decontamination room, a recovery room, and a motioncompensated gangway. A daughter craft and a fast rescue boat ensure that rescue activities can also be carried out in adverse weather.

Efficient offshore connectivity For Oil, Gas, and Offshore Wind companies to carry out their work safely and cost-efficiently, the crew and additional maintenance or rescue staff need seamless internet connectivity, 24/7, for smooth operations and exchanging information with clients, suppliers, and HQ – especially in emergency situations. Of course, internet access is also about quality of life for crew members, i.e., staying connected to families and friends. Castor Marine updated Koenigborg’s communications systems to match the demands required by the remoteness of offshore operations and extreme weather conditions. A connectivity system that is dependable and always-on is essential for those monitoring or repairing components on offshore platforms and for reporting back to shore teams. The company says it is proud to have been entrusted again by Wagenborg to handle this project.

REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

TESO asked Hydrex to repair ferry Texelstroom after being damaged by a storm.

Emergency hull repair When the vertical side of the ferry Texelstroom was damaged during storm Eunice, earlier this year, a leak in the ballast water tank prevented the ship from sailing. Because this happened at the start of a busy school vacation period, it was essential that a fast on-site solution was found to keep the downtime for the ship as short as possible. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF HYDREX.

exelstroom sails between Den Helder on the Dutch mainland and Texel, the largest and most populated Dutch Wadden Sea island. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is important that the area is protected. Texelstroom was designed with this in mind. Launched in 2016, it is one of the world’s most sustainable ferries. It is the first ferry in Europe that runs on a combination of sustainable energy sources: compressed natural gas, green shore-side power and solar power generated on board.

Hydrex.indd 24

No time to waste Hydrex was asked by TESO, the owners of the vessel, to find a way to repair the damage the ship had suffered during the storm. Because no drydock was available on such short notice, the operation needed to be performed while the vessel stayed afloat. Another important factor was the timeframe. Downtime needed to be kept to the absolute minimum so that Texelstroom could get back to ferrying passengers between Den Helder and Texel as soon as possible.

Finding on-site solutions and saving time are two things Hydrex has specialised in for almost 50 years now. Their Technical Department proposed installing an opentop cofferdam over the damaged hull plating. This would allow the diver/ technicians to access the affected area and perform the needed repairs in dry conditions. As soon as the proposal was accepted on Wednesday evening, Hydrex put everything in motion to start the operation. At this point they also

contacted the classification society and stayed in communication with them throughout the entire operation. The cofferdam was constructed at the company’s fast response center in Antwerp the very next day. Hydrex also ordered the certified steel for the new insert plate. On Friday morning the team arrived in the port of Texel with the cofferdam and all the needed equipment. The repair started with a detailed inspection of the damage from both sides of the hull. In consultancy with the superintendent of the ferry and the surveyor from the classification society it was agreed to install an insert repair measuring 1500mm x 700mm.

Texelstroom sails between Den Helder on the Dutch mainland and Texel.

The team then installed the open-top cofferdam over the damage and created a dry environment in which to work. They cut away the old plating and installed the new insert. Hydrex secured the insert with a certified weld both from inside the vessel and inside the cofferdam. Ultrasonic testing was performed by an independent inspector and the repair was approved by the classification society as permanent. On Sunday morning, the cofferdam was removed and a final leakage test was successfully conducted. This concluded the operation.

All better now Throughout the entire operation the Hydrex Technical Department was in very good communication with the superintendent, the class surveyor and everyone involved. The teams worked in shifts around the clock. This allowed them to complete the actual repair in just two days. TESO’s spare ferry Dokter Wagemaker had been bringing passengers to the beautiful Island of Texel during the Texelstroom’s sick leave, but the ship was all better now and ready to sail again at full strength. i. hydrex.be

Mika Laurilehto, CEO, Rauma Marine Constructions, says: “The agreement we have with Spirit of Tasmania is for a pair of world-class ferries capable of meeting exacting standards in terms of safety, reliability and customer service. Survitec’s ability to offer a full range of fire safety solutions and also local after care services allowed us to streamline the design and procurement processes in a manner that benefits both the yard and the shipowner.”

and commissioned the advanced firefighting systems aboard Yara Birkeland, the world’s first fully electric, autonomous containership, Survitec is fast becoming the eco ship builder’s go-to fire systems choice supplier. “The success of that project marked an important milestone for Survitec, placing us at the forefront in the development of fire safety technology for the next generation of environmentally sustainable ships,” continues Mr Lende-Harung.

1,800 passengers each When delivered in 2023 and 2024, Spirit of Tasmania’s new 212m long ropaxes will each have capacity to ferry 1,800 passengers across Bass Strait, on the company’s Geelong to Devonport, route which connects the island state of Tasmania with mainland Australia. The new vessels will replace the Spirit of Tasmania I and II, both built in Finland in 1998. i. survitecgroup.com

New standards for fire safety Finn Lende-Harung, Commercial Director of Fire Solutions at Survitec, says, “Dual fuel systems and alternative fuels are setting new standards for fire safety in the industry. Shipowners and builders are looking for suppliers capable of providing technical support to high-value projects throughout the entire life span of a vessel. We work hard not only to keep on top of the latest changes in legislation but also to offer through-life benefits that help with the total cost of ownership – from the design and construction phase through to operation and servicing.” Having successfully designed, installed Survitec is fast becoming the eco ship builder’s go-to fire systems supplier.

GREEN SHIP TECHNOLOGY

ver Ace is the first of twelve vessels planned for Evergreen’s record-breaking A Class, which comprises container vessels of nearly 24,000TEU capacity. Powered by a massive main engine of nearly 60MW, it also has five auxiliary engines of 4.5MW each.

Reliability and low operating costs To clean the engines’ exhaust gas, the Ever Ace has two PureSOx scrubbers on board – one for the main engine and one for the auxiliaries. As hybrid scrubbers that can operate in open or closed loop, they require effective cleaning of the closed-loop circulation water. This is provided by a shared WCS based primarily on high-speed centrifugal separation. Reliability and low operating costs are always important factors in Evergreen’s decision-making. In this case, especially Alfa Laval’s strong references for PureSOx and water cleaning technology played a crucial role.

Expanding capacity, not size Alfa Laval’s WCS design was recently updated, providing additional modular options to ensure a compact and cost-effective fit. On vessels with high engine power, such as

GREEN SHIP TECHNOLOGY mega-container vessels, it allows for greater capacity by adding flocculation to the centrifugal separation at its heart. This is the case on the Ever Ace, where the WCS incorporates three high-speed separators, flocculator modules and a feed pump. Though it serves two PureSOx scrubbers with a combined exhaust gas cleaning capacity of almost 200t/h, the WCS has a minimal footprint in relation to its high efficiency.

Performance confirmed at sea Just as the Ever Ace is the first in its class, the shared WCS was the first with the new design to be commissioned by the PureSOx team. The limited gas load during a short shipyard sea trial was not enough to test the full WCS cleaning capacity, so Alfa Laval experts followed Ever Ace during a September journey from the UK to Germany and the Netherlands. This provided time for a more thorough WCS evaluation, as well as for crew training and the resolution of open items after leaving the shipyard. Along the route, the WCS could be observed during longer periods with high engine loads. Cleaning performance was high throughout the voyage, even when much larger amounts of circulation water reached the WCS. With that reallife proof in hand, Evergreen can be confident of future compliance with PureSOx.

How does it work? vacuum cleaner and is trailed along the seabed. In the head there are nozzles connected to a high-pressure water installation that are capable of loosening the material on the seabed. Due to lower pressure in the pipe, the material will be sucked inward and discharged in the hopper.

From the side of the ship one or two suction pipes descend to the bottom of the seabed.

A trailing suction hopper dredger is selfloading/unloading and sometimes equipped with a pressurized discharging system. It has large, powerful pumps and engines that enable it to dredge sand, clay, sludge, and even gravel from sea or riverbeds. The vessel stores the dredged material in its own hopper and discharges the leftover water overboard. A trailing suction hopper dredger is equipped with the following equipment: • One or more, rearward extending suction pipes • One or more, dredging pumps to create an under pressure in order to

On the end of the pipe a socalled trailing drag head is connected. This head is comparable to a large

The hopper can be emptied in a variety of ways, including by: Dumping – This is done by simply opening the doors that close the hopper. Once opened the substance will simply drop to the seabed because of gravity. The hopper will never be completely empty because there will always be some residue and water left inside. Pressing – High-pressure pumps will pump water inside the hopper to loosen or even liquefy the substance, which can then be pumped via long hoses over great distances (f.i. ashore) Rainbowing – This is the same principle as pressing, but instead of transporting the substance it will simply be blown away. This is often used to create land. Crane – It is always possible to discharge the load with a crane, but this will be a time-consuming process.
