Joining forces

Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA), VPLP Design (VPLP) and Alwena Shipping (Alwena) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to form an Alliance. In this partnership, LDA will identify, develop, and pursue selected logistics solutions operated by wind assisted/propelled pure container ships designed and developed by VPLP and Alwena.

Louis Dreyfus Armateurs’ subsidiary Louis Dreyfus Freight Solutions (LDFS), a 3PL freight forwarder with strong knowledge and skills in transport and logistics involving specifc maritime solutions, has called on VPLP Design and Alwena Shipping to develop a wind assisted/propelled container ship solution. It is based on the Trade Wings 2,500 – an innovative concept for ‘small-size’ container ships of 2,500TEU.

With an overall length of 197m and a

breadth of 32m, the vessel ofers a deadweight of 32,500t. Suitable to short sea shipping operations or feedering in Europe, Central America, Caribbean Islands and China, the Trade Wings 2,500 can also operate on transatlantic trades and be tailored to meet the Clients’ requirements and volumes. The preliminary project which has been granted an approval in principle (AiP) by Bureau Veritas runs on a hybrid propulsion comprising of six wing sails and a diesel-electric system. It is also

designed to burn clean fuels such as liquefed natural gas (LNG) or methanol.

Low emissions container vessels of the near future

On a typical transatlantic voyage, we can expect to save on average 35% CO2equivalent emissions compared to a conventional design, with a 2-stroke engine, single shaft and without wingsails, at the same speed. This concept sets the pathway for what could be the low emissions container vessels

Something diferent every time

Kooiman Marine Group delivers custom designed and built dredger HEGEMANN V to Hegemann-Reiners Gruppe.

When it needed to replace one of the trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) in its feet, Bremen-based Hegemann-Reiners Gruppe had a specifc set of requirements. With this, the company needed the services of a shipyard that could ofer it a design 100% tailored to its operational needs.

Hegemann-Reiners Gruppe had never worked with Kooiman Marine Group in Zwijndrecht before. The two companies had only recently got to know one another when Ron Verschoor, responsible for business development at Kooiman, paid a visit to Detlef Hegemann’s Technical Manager Martin Janssen.

Creating the vessel the client wants

“Soon after, they approached us with a request for a new dredger, with a specifc set of requirements,” Ron explains. “Delivering custom vessels is what we do – every time it’s something diferent. We always aim to design in close cooperation with the end user to

create the vessel they require for their operations. And we have our own inhouse engineering company, Kooiman Engineering, that was able to design a dredger tailored to Detlef Hegemann’s wishes.”

Martin agrees by saying, “This was very important for us. Kooiman came with a proposal that was completely tailored to

us. They didn’t tell us how to do it, they did it exactly as we wanted.”

A versatile & fexible dredger

What the contractor was looking for was a relatively small dredger to perform the primary function of river and port maintenance in harbours such as Bremerhaven and Emden. However, they

were also looking for something fexible to maximise uptime. This required a dredger that could also undertake shore replenishment operations in the Baltic and North seas when not conducting maintenance operations and to supply materials inland.

The result was the recently delivered HEGEMANN V, a 70 x 15.80m dredger

with a hopper volume of 1,500m3 (sand) and 1,930m3 (slick). The dredger features 4,890ekW total installed power and is able to sail at speeds of up to 10 knots. It features accommodation for 8 + 2 persons.

“We’ve got some experience in diferent kinds of dredgers,” says Ron. “In the past, we built a large aggregate dredger, water injection dredgers, and we converted cargo vessels into dredgers to mention just a few examples. This project, however, represented a diferent section of the dredging market. We were very keen to show our capabilities here so were very pleased to be presented with this opportunity.”

Integrating redundancy

In addition to versatility, HegemannReiners Gruppe wanted to ensure the workability of the dredger by integrating considerable redundancy. “One of the redundancy items is the second dredge pump, required to be able to deliver the dredging material over a long distance. We added an extra dredge pipe, a bypass so that the dredger can continue to operate in the event of a failure on one of the pumps. Also installed is an extra generator set to ensure safety, reliability, and the capability to operate in remote areas. In addition to these items, there is a spare thruster unit that can replace the PS or the SB thruster. We designed these thrusters to be easily exchangeable while the vessel is still in the water.”

Optimising efciency

The 1,630ekW Mitsubishi generators additionally feature a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system to help reduce NOX emissions, thereby

ensuring the dredger’s compliance with IMO Tier III requirements. Maarten Kooiman, director Kooiman Engineering and in lead for the development and production of the HEGEMANN V says, “These engines run on pre-defned operation modes. The efciency they ofer comes from their ability to run at lower frequencies when less power is needed. This way they run fuel efcient and efcient for the aftertreatment system.

“This vessel is designed to load sand at a volume of 1,500m3. With this load she will have a draft of 4.5m. As we had to cope with restrictions in the size of the dredger for manoeuvring in narrow locations and on rivers, we had to design the hull form from scratch. Keeping the required speed in mind, we aimed for maximum load of dredging

material. To optimise the hull form we used CFD calculations to decrease resistance and, thereby, fuel consumption. The hull and hopper compartment are also optimised for loading as much as possible slick, which ended up being 1,930m3.”

During a specifc operation, the dredger requires to dock frequently at the delivery site. To save time, increase safety and decrease fuel consumption during docking, the HEGEMANN V is equipped with two telescopic spud poles designed and produced by Kooiman.

Dredging system

The dredging system features one suction tube ø600mm with an active visor drag head, to dredge the material from max 26m depth. The drag head wire runs over a swell compensator to

compensate the vertical movement of the vessel in relation to the seabed.

Loading of the hopper is done via three hopper loading pipes and water on the loading is removed via two in height adjustable overfows. This vessel is equipped with two pre dumping doors to be able to dump material at shallow draft.

Once the vessel is partly unloaded and draft decreased, she will use the six dumping doors to relieve the rest of the dredging material. In addition, HEGEMANN V is equipped with a selfemptying system. The hopper load is fuidised with a high pressurized jet water system and via six suction lines the material is pumped with one or two dredge pumps in series, to one of the discharge points on deck.

discharge point is a bow coupling type, to which a foating line can be connected, or the material is sprayed via a nozzle on, for instance, a beach.

When dredging in slick material, possible gasses are removed in front of the dredge pump via a degassing system, to maintain the efciency of the dredge pump. The rpm of both dredge pumps are stepless, controllable with the use of frequency drives.

When it comes to maintenance the whole vessel is designed and equipped to be able to maintain its equipment. As an example, the pump room is equipped with an overhead crane and several cranes are located at deck level to exchange parts and stores to shore.

Dutch maritime hub

The hull of the dredger was constructed in Serbia before being transported to the Gebr. Kooiman shipyard in the

Netherlands for outftting. Once it had arrived, the diversity of skills within the Kooiman Marine Group once again proved useful, with Kooiman able to perform much of the work in-house. This included the full installation of the dredger’s interior as well as the construction and installation of all auxiliary piping being designed with 3D CAD software and prefabricated within the Kooiman piping workshop.

“Naturally we work with any suppliers that our clients wish,” states Maarten “However, we enjoy reliable relationships with the companies here in the Dutch maritime hub who are frequently, as on this occasion, able to rapidly supply us with the equipment and systems we need to design and build vessels according to our clients’ needs.”

A good match

The HEGEMANN V was baptised on 14 June at Bremerhaven after being

deployed for maintenance dredging on the river Ems since the beginning of this year. So far, the dredger has performed exactly as the contractor had anticipated.

Martin says, “ We already saw during the trials that the dredger was performing beyond expectations. Since we started operations, this has continued to be the case. We made the right decision in going to Kooiman. Our two companies are a good match for one another. Communications have been and continue to be excellent. As a result, there has never been an issue during development or construction that we were not able to resolve by talking to each other and fnding an appropriate technical solution.”

New patrol vessels for Senegalese Navy

The launch of NIANI, the second ofshore patrol vessel destined for the Senegalese Navy, took place in late 2022 in Concarneau. This stage marked a signifcant step in the progress of the programme for the supply of three ofshore patrol vessels.

In parallel, the frst unit has fnished the outftting phase and went on its sea trials, and in May of this year the third vessel, named CAYOR has been launched as well. The contract for the vessels was signed in November 2019 by Senegal’s Ministry of Armed Forces and Piriou group.

Built with the support and expertise of its partner company Kership, the programme of construction of these three patrol vessels is spread over a period of 44 months, until summer 2024. It also includes a support period lasting several years in Senegal.

Vincent Faujour, Chairman of Piriou Group says, “The launch of NIANI was an important event for this boat but also

more broadly for the OPV58S programme! Thanks to the motivation of the Piriou and Kership personnel and the continuous working partnership with the representatives of the Senegalese Naval Staf, we are progressing according to schedule.”

CAYOR

On Tuesday 02 May 2023, CAYOR, the third ofshore patrol vessels for the Senegalese Navy, was launched in Concarneau. After WALO and NIANI, CAYOR is the last unit of the OPV58S programme, the contract for which was signed by the Senegalese Ministry of the Armed Forces and the Piriou Group, in the presence of the President of

From the Dutch coast to the Yangtze river

Whether it’s dredging, infrastructure, or ofshore energy, Van Oord has not been sitting still in the past months. Let’s have a look at some of the company’s recent interesting projects.

On 21 July 2023, Van Oord has completed installing and burying inter-array cables at CrossWind’s Hollandse Kust Noord ofshore wind park, bringing it a step closer to being fully operational by the end of this year. The cables are used for connecting the ofshore wind turbines and transmitting electricity. Van Oord’s top duo cable-laying vessel Nexus and trencher Dig-It (a remotely-operated vehicle operated from vessel Subsea Viking) have installed a web of 69 interarray cables measuring 140km in total. The ofshore wind park is located 18.5km of the coast of the Netherlands, near

the seaside resort of Egmond aan Zee. Van Oord designed a 66kV inter-array grid for the Hollandse Kust Noord ofshore wind park, to guarantee reliable and safe transmission of the generated electricity. Dutch manufacturer TKF (Twentsche Kabelfabriek) supplied the cables. Nexus, equipped with a large 5,000t capacity cable carousel, installed the inter-array cables. Trencher Dig-It subsequently buried the cables to the required depth of between 1.0 and 1.5m.

The Dig-It, a Tracked Remotely Operated Vehicle (TROV), can be used for burying cables both in ‘jetting mode’ for sandy soils and in ‘chain cutter mode’ for

harder soils. At the Hollandse Kust Noord project, both modes were used successfully.

Balance of Plant

Wind park developer Crosswind, a joint venture between Shell and Eneco, contracted Van Oord for the complete Balance of Plant scope for the construction of the ofshore wind park. As a Balance of Plant contractor, Van Oord’s activities encompass the design, engineering, procurement and transport and installation of the wind turbine foundations, inter-array cables, as well as the transport and installation of the

wind turbines themselves. Earlier this year, Van Oord completed the installation of all 70 monopile foundations for the wind park. Currently, Van Oord is deploying two ofshore installation vessels to install the wind turbine generators and is also performing the electrical termination works of the cables in the wind turbine generators.

Green energy

While construction is still in full swing, the Hollandse Kust Noord ofshore wind park already produced its frst megawatt hours (MWh) of green electricity and

delivered it to the Dutch mainland. In the coming months, production capacity will be constantly increased. Once fnished, the wind park will have a total installed capacity of 759MW, generating at least 3.3TWh per year. This is enough renewable electricity to meet 2.8% of the Netherlands’ electricity demand.

Tug quay project

Another milestone at Van Oord is that, after this summer, the Van Oord –Hakkers – De Klerk consortium will commence construction of a tug quay in the Port of Rotterdam’s Yangtze Canal. The consortium and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed the relevant contracts at the end of June. The work will involve constructing 500m of quay wall with space for 12 tugs to berth. The project is scheduled to be completed in spring 2025.

Van Oord, Hakkers and De Klerk will construct the new tug quay at the entrance to the canal on the south side, close to the largest container terminals. In addition to the 500m of quay wall, which will take the form of a composite wall, the consortium is also responsible for removing the existing bed and bank protection, installing new bed protection and dredging approximately 800,000m2 of sand and clay to widen the canal and clear space for the new quay.

Yangtze Canal

Marine transport is the backbone of international trade and the global economy. To accommodate the growing volume of trafc, ports and waterways must be expanded and maintained. The Yangtze Canal is the access channel to various Port of Rotterdam container terminals, including those in Prinses Amaliahaven, Prinses Arianehaven and Prinses Alexiahaven. The Yangtze Canal

welcomes the largest container ships travelling to and from terminals in the Maasvlakte 2 section of the port.

Construction of tug quay is part of a programme to widen the Yangtze Canal so that it can accommodate more trafc and the latest generation of container ships.

Sustainability goals

The decision to award the contract to this particular consortium is in line with the

When the Scottish fshermen from Lunar Fishing sail out on week-long trips in the North Sea and the Atlantic, they sail on ships built by Danish Karstensens Shipyard and with CP-propulsion equipment, propellers, and thrusters from Danish Hundested Propeller.

Harsh weather and high seas require hardy fshermen and boats alike. Lunar Fishing, which has been hailing from Peterhead, Scotland, for many years, knows this better than most. The experienced fshermen often spend their fshing time in the North Sea and the Atlantic of the Scottish coast, where they trawl and pair

Currently, Lunar Fishing has four custom-built boats in use. These were all built at Karstensen’s Shipyard in Skagen, Denmark, which has installed CP Marine Gear, propellers, and thrusters from the market-leading Danish manufacturer, Hundested Propeller, in two of the

vessels. According to fsherman Philip Stephen, there’s a good reason for this, “In the conditions we often operate in while at sea, we must have full confdence in our boats. When the weather is at its worst, the stress on the engine can easily reach almost 100 percent. It goes without saying that we need extraordinary, high-quality

equipment, says Philip Stephen, who has fshed for Lunar Fishing for nearly 16 years.” He adds, “Karstensens has long been a trusted supplier for us. So, when they recommended Hundested Propeller, we weren’t in doubt. Subsequently, Hundested Propeller’s solutions have become a requirement for us on all future ships because we know what we are getting, and we know the machine parts can withstand the tension and stress they are exposed to.

Kent Damgaard, director and marine engineer at Karstensens Shipyard, elaborates, “Companies such as Lunar Fishing are interested in innovative solutions that optimise fuel consumption and thus reduce the CO2 footprint as much as possible. In this feld, Hundested Propeller is very skilled at designing propellers so that the customer gets the best possible solutions, both in terms of quality of equipment but also in terms of best possible utilisation. We have used Hundested Propeller’s solutions for more than two decades, and we will continue to do so.”

Service and support are just a call away

With over 8,000 hours spent at sea each year, Lunar Fishing’s vessels are pushed to the limit in to spend as long time at sea as possible and maximise yield. Likewise, avoiding downtime is critical for turnover, and problems with machine parts often need to be solved on the spot to avoid sending the vessel back to port.

Luckily, this is rarely an issue, Philip Stephen says, “We always bring spare parts on the boats, and we can deal with problems with machine parts while at sea. However, if the problem is more complex, it’s absolutely crucial that we can get support from the manufacturer

In my sixteen years fshing we only needed extended support once and Hundested Propeller got us back up and running quickly after just one call.” If it’s necessary to return to port earlier than expected the fshermen trust in the rapid response time promised by the Danes. “If we can’t repair the vessel ourselves, we know that Hundested Propeller will send technicians within a few days’ maximum. They provide unparalleled service and after-sales support, which is a decisive factor when we choose a supplier for our vessels”, says Philip Stephen. He adds that Lunar Fishing has ordered two new large custom-built fshing boats from Karstensens Shipyard for delivery in 2024. Both will contain propulsion equipment from Hundested Propeller.

A modernised port

The new Liebherr all-electric portal slewing crane of type LPS 420 E will be the frst of its kind delivered in Norway –The crane is a key asset for handling every type of cargo, from containers to bulk, general cargo, and heavy lifts up to 124t – local emission-free.

The expected delivery is late 2023, and in the long run another crane that has been in use since 2008 will be replaced to help meet its climate goals while ofering multipurpose cargo handling options, Borg Havn has chosen the Liebherr LPS 420 E.

The port’s investment in an electric infrastructure is the ideal foundation through which the crane will operate. The crane will be delivered fully erected by ship and mounted on the quay at Øra in Fredrikstad.

Borg Havn is investing in a new all-electric harbour crane. The Liebherr portal slewing crane will be the frst of its kind delivered in Norway and exceeds the average turnover of comparable electric driven cranes in the market. All crane movements like lufng, hoisting, slewing and travelling are done by electric motors. The LPS 420 E can be supplied with high or low voltage, depending on the transformer requirements. This ensures that Borg Havn can fulfl its logistical operations while greatly reducing its environmental footprint.

Paving the way for reduced emissions, beneftting from years of industry know-how

Borg Havn is a multi-purpose port which handles all types of cargo like containers, bulk, general cargo, and heavy lift. It’s the third biggest container port in Norway, with 67,249 TEUs in 2021, which is an increase of 14% from 2020.The LPS 420 E will be used for all types of operation and is the frst Liebherr crane at the port.

The contract for the new crane was entered into in March 2022. “This is a large investment for Borg Havn,” says Port Director Tore Lundestad. “Renewing and modernising our crane feet in line with harbour activity is crucial to us. Among the main reasons for our investment in the LPS 420 E is its more environmentally friendly profle, which allows us to greatly reduce emissions and noise in the area.”

It is estimated that as much as 7% of greenhouse gas emissions from shipping occur while the vessels are completely stationary in the harbour. Life on board also needs electricity when the vessel is docked. The ships therefore have the auxiliary engines running to keep the systems running. Whether it’s light and heat or loading and unloading. The investment in shore power at the Port of

Borg is an important measure to cut emissions and a contribution to reaching Fredrikstad’s ambitious climate goals. Borg Havn produces its own energy from solar cells which are connected to an internal grid. The maximum output is 2MW, which on sunny days powers all fve cranes in the port with their own power in addition to shore power.

Based on the modernised electric infrastructure of the port, the LPS 420 E is equipped to provide optimal and safe operations. Thanks to the Liebherr

With our innovative LPS 420 E and outstanding customer service, we will support an ambitious target of Port of Borg and develop a new partnership for the future.”

The LPS 420 E raises the bar in terms of electrical driven bulk handling performance. A turnover of up to 1,200t/h allows the new Liebherr electric crane to exceed the average turnover of comparable all-electric cranes in the market. With up to 30 cycles per hour, the LPS 420 E is the perfect solution when it comes to container handling

The main components of the E-drive are liquid cooled and the heat is dissipated by heat exchangers. The fully closed liquid cooling system in combination with the heat exchanger are installed on top of the slewing platform. According to this, no overpressure unit is necessary to prevent dust coming inside the machinery house, which is a big beneft for cranes working in a dusty environment.

Protecting mariners using AI-powered systems

ShipIn Systems, the world’s frst AI visual analytics platform that monitors safety, operations, and maintenance onboard, has secured its frst Indonesian client in a deal with Asian Bulk Logistics (ABL).

The agreement will see ShipIn installing its platform, FleetVision™, on vessels owned and operated by ABL, the Jakarta-based integrated sea logistics and infrastructure company. ABL has invested in the AI-powered platform as part of its ongoing strategy to foster a culture of safety onboard, using the latest technology.

The platform detects events onboard in real-time using AI-powered CCTV, giving onboard and shoreside feet managers the same visibility into onboard operations and enabling them

to identify any potential maintenance or safety risks related to onboard operations, including cargo handling, security, maintenance and more.

Gaining real-time visibility

ABL’s strategic decision to install FleetVision™ onboard their vessels was driven by their strong commitment to achieving operational efciency and enhancing safety. By leveraging ShipIn’s advanced FleetVision platform, they have gained real-time visibility into their operations, enabling proactive monitoring, prompt detection of

potential risks onboard, and ship to shore collaboration. Ship managers receive alerts of any operational or safety issues in near realtime, helping to mitigate the risk of incidents onboard. Moreover, it eradicates the need to sift through 10,000 hours of footage to establish why an unexpected event or accident occurred – making the marine risk management and insurance claims process far more cost-efective and less time-consuming.

“We’re delighted to work with ABL, our frst Indonesian client, and to help the company safeguard its seafarers.”

Osher Perry – CEO of ShipIn Systems.

“In this digital age, we have the means to protect mariners using AI-powered systems that alert them to any risks arising from operational or maintenance issues onboard, as well as security threats. FleetVision™ will help safeguard our seafarers and provide data-driven insights that we can draw on to continuously assess and develop our onboard safety practices, procedures, and culture.”

Edmund Situmorang – Chief Technology Offcer at ABL.

Safer and more secure

The FleetVision™ platform’s enhanced situational awareness has not only streamlined operations but also fostered a safer environment for crew. Now, ABL is well-positioned to optimise their performance and ensure the highest standards of safety onboard their vessels. Commenting on the deal, Edmund Situmorang, Chief Technology Ofcer at ABL says, “In this digital age, we have the means to protect mariners using AIpowered systems that alert them to any risks arising from operational or maintenance issues onboard, as well as security threats. FleetVision™ will help safeguard our seafarers and provide data-driven insights that we can draw on to continuously assess and develop our onboard safety practices, procedures, and culture.”

Osher Perry, CEO of ShipIn Systems, adds, “The maritime industry is often accused of lagging behind when it

comes to embracing digital technology. But shipping companies such as ABL clearly recognise the benefts of an AIpowered platform that enhances safety, provides insights into a ship’s operations and maintenance, and gives feet managers greater visibility of vessels sailing in remote locations. We’re delighted to work with ABL, our frst Indonesian client, and to help the company safeguard its seafarers.”

Protecting a Fleet Against Piracy

Today’s shipping companies require a much higher level of vigilance, which is almost impossible to achieve with existing resources and a limited number of crew on board. With the right technology in place, however, security risks can be detected early and often and keep onboard crew, cargo, and vessels safe.

With the ShipIn FleetVision™ Platform,

piracy concerns for a feet can be proactively addressed. With ShipIn, there is a 24/7 surveillance of mission-critical areas of the ship, plus AI-powered insights that can alert crew when detecting small craft nearby or non-crew members on board.

When the ‘Oceandiva London’ will be plying the waves of the River Thames, power will be no concern. Not for the captain, nor for the vessel’s four hundred guests.

Sailing at full speed, party lighting on max, the fully electric event vessel’s power is a certainty. Whether the guests are dancing away at a big wedding, watching a fashion show, or are enjoying one of the many other fne things event vessels are built for, the show will go on. Carbon free. All nonhuman energy on board will come from the Energy Storage Systems supplied by EST-Floattech.

Designed and built by the Dutch energy technology and storage solutions specialist, the Green Orca system is made up of two lithium battery packs with a total capacity of 2.2MWh. This energy storage system is one of the cornerstones for the vessel’s CO2-neutral operation. In this way, EST-Floattech is instrumental for the vessel having received the Green Award Foundation’s prestigious Gold Certifcate with a Platinum Label. This is the highest level

“We are delighted to contribute to the world’s frst carbonneutral event vessel. The same goes for our cooperation with electrical system integrator Werkina, an important and valued new business partner with very strong references.”

of recognition for shipping companies committed to environment protection, safety and quality. ‘Oceandiva London’ is also the frst vessel of its kind to receive it.

“We are delighted to contribute to the world’s frst carbon-neutral event vessel. The same goes for our cooperation with electrical system integrator Werkina, an important and valued new business partner with very strong references”, Walter van der Pennen, EST’s Commercial Director notes.

Industry frsts

The groundbreaking vessel, which will enter service this summer, features several industry frsts. What little CO2 the vessel might release, will be balanced by the same amount being absorbed from the atmosphere. The batteries are charged by both green fast charging shore power and onboard solar panels, with a biofuel generator as back up for longer excursions. The ‘Oceandiva London’ will be an eye-catching fag bearer of the Net Zero Marine Services
