Maiden Voyage

LESLEY BREAU | EDITOR LESLEYB@YNFPUBLISHERS.COM

AS THE NEW EDITOR FOR SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY MAGAZINE, I AM PROUD TO SHARE OUR FIFTH ISSUE OF THIS YEAR WITH YOU. THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL ‘MAIDEN VOYAGE’ WITH ShipBuilding Industry and I am excited not only to be a part of, but to be able to share information surrounding such a diverse industry. Reoccuring terms during the gathering of information for this issue were ‘sustainability’, ‘eco’ and ‘green’. The ship reports, German companies profiled and special features included all share a commitment to lessening the impacts of the maritime industry and are all connected by a future vision for the environment. There is a major focus currently on reducing environmental emissions from ships of all sizes due to new environmental regulations already in place and those set to come into effect in the near future. Initially the upcoming changes in regulations may have been perceived as a burden on the industry, however these new regulations appear to have the opposite effect. They act as a motivator, making individuals and companies innovate and push the envelope to come up with new ideas and processes to lessen our environmental impact. As an example, check out our feature on the LNG fuelled dedging vessels by Royal IHC; a project that began years ago in response to upcoming Tier III regulations. IHC successfully overcame challenges to design a dredging vessel which is the first of its kind to use LNG as a fuel source. Such stories outline just how creative and conscience this industry has become and will undoubtedly continue to be. New ideas, products, knowledge, and environmental topics, will all be covered at Europort 2015. The global maritime industry will once again meet in Rotterdam this November and is a must attend for anyone working in this industry. Have a look at the preview of Europort 2015 included in this issue to help you plan your visit to this major maritime trade show. Join myself and the team from Yellow & Finch Publishers from November 3 - 6 at Europort. We invite you to drop by our booth located at P111 and hope to see you there.

NEWS IN BRIEF SBI FEATURE

Solar Solution Machinefabriek L. Straatman, a Dutch based company well known for its high quality dredging and mooring equipment, has developed a sustainable power supply system based on solar power. This Straatman system, first of its kind, uses solar panels to power capstans which are integrated in quick release mooring hook units used on mooring dolphins. While the use of solar panels themselves may not be considered innovative, using them in this capacity is quite revolutionary. Benefits include no more damage to cables caused by anchors, reduction of lead time

during construction of dolphins, and low maintenance and energy costs. Straatman supplies a complete system, which includes working lights, navigation lights, battery pack and control box. A plug and play system is delivered, ready to do its job for a long time. Straatman has developed a system to be used in ATEX classified areas as well as in safe areas. The Straatman Solar System solution contributes to a better environment and fits perfectly in the concept of sustainability.

Drones Becoming Popular in Shipbuilding

Remontowa S.A. BOOTH NO.

5415

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, is gaining in popularity in the shipbuilding industry. Poland’s Remontowa Shiprepair Yard has made use of a drone to carry out inspection on the UK-flagged chemical and product tanker CPO Japan, which arrived at Remontowa Shiprepair Yard on June 15 for its first five year class renewal overhaul. The drone, equipped with high definition camera capable of recording HD video and still pictures, was dispatched inside one of CPO Japan’s cargo tanks and after a test flight, it was determined that the drone was able to access all parts of the tank. The drone serves as means of visual inspection, mainly for surface condition assessment. Such visual inspection results may rule out the necessity of conducting more detailed ‘hands-on’ inspections. Use of drones in turn saves time, and shipbuilders are starting to adopt this type of technology to facilitate and speed up various construction stages, including inspection.

KVM FROM G&D. YOUR BRIDGE TO COMPLETE CONTROL. DBR Agent Network Expanded

Leading the way in digital KVM www.gdsys.de

Up on the bridge or down in the engineering room, you don’t need your computers beside you to have complete control over your IT systems. With G&D’s KVM technology, you can remove computers from control rooms into one safe location. As a result, you’ll create more space with less noise and less heat and enjoy a better working environment. For complete flexibility, users can access the systems wherever they are on board – all they need are the necessary peripherals e.g. a mouse and a keyboard and one or more display screens. In addition, KVM systems from G&D deliver more safety. Our systems not only provide missioncritical features that monitor our KVM equipment but they can also measure several parameters of the systems they’re connected to.

SEE US AT EUROPORT HALL 6 STAND 6306 (KONING & HARTMAN)

On ships, in special applications control, in vessel traffic service (VTS), on offshore platforms… for complete control with flexibility the answer is KVM – from G&D.

DBR, based in Sliedrecht, The Netherlands, is a specialist in the design, assembly and delivery of generator sets for the shipbuilding and offshore industries. Since 2009 the company has been focusing more on direct sales abroad. For this reason, DBR set up the standard Quality Marine Power (QMP) line and has continuously updated and expanded it. Direct sales at DBR has grown in recent years, due to the placement of the right agents in the right markets. Mr. H. Hafkamp, Sales Manager at DBR states, “The DBR agents have the knowledge of the local markets and give their client contacts a personal edge.” Actually DBR has agents settled in Brazil, Norway, Turkey, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Latest news is that the network has expanded with our agent in Iceland. Talks are ongoing with potential agents in Croatia, Russia and China. DBR is also looking for agents in Poland, Spain, North America and Canada.

NEWS IN BRIEF Bureau Veritas Classes First Ethane-Powered Ships

Leading classification society Bureau Veritas is classing the first ethane-powered ship. JS Ineos Insight is the first of a series of eight 27,500m3 multi-gas Dragon-class vessels being built at Sinopacific, China, for Denmark’s Evergas. The vessel was named on July 14 and is configured for transport of ethane, LPG or LNG. It has options for ethane, LNG and conventional diesel power. Martial Claudepierre, Business Development Manager, Bureau Veritas says, “The ability to burn ethane as well as LNG to power these unique vessels is a major step forward in the use of clean fuels. It means the vessels can use cargo gas during transits to provide a clean and clear commercial and environmental advantage.”

Shipyard Kooiman to Refit Catamarans Shipyard Kooiman has contracted the major maintenance survey and lifetime extension of the SWATH’s Cetus and Perseus for the Dutch Pilotage Service. Combined with survey, Shipyard Kooiman will provide refit services to extend the life of the vessels. In close cooperation with sub contractors, a new hybrid propulsion system and new generator sets will be installed which will increase the total propulsion power of the vessels. The electrical and nautical installations, cooling water systems, interior and accommodation will be modified. The lifetime extension of the Cetus will start mid September 2015. The Perseus will be docked in the beginning of 2016. The modifications and repair will be performed in the new building hall of Shipyard Kooiman.

SHIP REPORT

Shipyard De Hoop Shipyard De Hoop is a Dutch designer and builder of custom-built vessels for both seagoing and inland vessels. Each and every ship built is unique, which means no standard processes, but customisation. They have their own design and engineering department, and the company is characterised by flexibility and quality.

The hull form of the PSV, with its specially developed bulbous bow, reduces wave resistance. Testament to the optimised cargo volume of the given hull shape, is the resulting impressive deadweight of 2,050 tonnes at a restricted draught of 4.85 metres. Most of this hull volume is dedicated to a large number of highcapacity tanks for various dry and liquid cargo such as brine, cargo fuel oil, drilling water and liquid mud. To keep any liquid slurry from separating, liquid mud tanks are equipped with agitators. Foam and dispersant tanks for fire fighting and oil spill rescue actions are located in the forward hull along with the usual fuel oil, fresh water, sewage, sludge and bilge water tanks.

Heavy Load As well as dry and liquid cargo, the PSV will transport deck cargo on its 515m2 work deck, which permits large quantities of various offshore equipment of up to five tons per square metre. For loading and

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

Esnaad 221.indd 31

unloading duties a fully hydraulic telescopic boom type crane is fitted to the starboard side. External fire-fighting tasks are performed with the two remotely controlled monitors on the top deck, capable of effectively spraying a water/foam mixture. Furthermore, the PSV is fitted with two six metre spray booms, enabling crew to apply dispersant to the water surface in case of an oil spill.

Eco-Driven In close consultation with the De Hoop shipyard, ADNOC opted for diesel-electric propulsion to achieve enhanced flexibility, while at the same time obtaining an economical and environmental superiority. The three main generators, feeding the diesel-electric propulsion units are located below deck, in the foreship underneath the superstructure. This was done to accommodate the preferred generators with the relatively large medium speed engines.

The propulsion components comprise of three tunnel bow and two azimuthing stern thrusters, to achieve high-accuracy stationkeeping and allowing for a transit speed of 13.5 knots at the lowest possible power requirements. The high level of redundancy guarantees the vessel remains fully operational, even with one complete generator set or e-circuit out of service, while the power management system arranges the load sharing so that each set is equally loaded. By configuring optimal combinations of generators for each usage scenario, this system benchmarks an impressively low NOx emission and very favourable fuel consumption at each sailing pattern.

Superior Comfort The superstructure offers accommodation for 28 people, all in cabins with ensuite bathrooms, individually controlled air treatment units, radio, television and access to internet. The complete accommodation provides a level of comfort, which is well above the current standards in the 24/7 offshore industries. i. www.dehoop.net

DREDGING EQUIPMENT

BEGINNING 1 JANUARY 2015, THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL MARINE ORGANIZATION’S REGULATIONS GOVERNING MARINE EMISSIONS, MARPOL ANNEX VI, CAME INTO EFFECT. STRICT NEW ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, IMO Tier III (AS OF January 2016), mean that engine builders, shipbuilders and ship operators must be innovative in order to optimise performance and stay competitive while complying to new emission guidelines.

T

he global dredging industry is facing a huge challenge meeting the upcoming environmental regulations. Marine diesel engines continue to emit significant amounts of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur (SOx), as well as particulate matter (PM). Since energy consumption of dredging equipment also accounts for a large part of the CO2 footprint, looking at alternative fuels, fuel consumption and energy reduction is vital. The biggest question is what type of fuel to use. Most dredgers operate on heavy fuel oil but costly measures are needed to filter the exhaust gases, and the reliability of this comes into question when applied to dredgers. Low-sulfur heavy fuel oil could be a possibility but the cost

associated, along with availability, does not make it a good option. Using marine diesel is an alternative, but it is also a costly one.

A Natural Solution

A promising solution is the use of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG). It has virtually no sulfur content, and its combustion produces low NOx, PM and CO2 compared to heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil. LNG is a clean-burning fuel, able to meet the strictest of IMO Tier III emission regulations. The availability of LNG worldwide is improving and is economically viable for ship owners.

Pro-Active Approach

Anticipating the needs of the industry, IHC began a study four years ago tackling the issue of exhaust emissions from dredging vessels. Knowing strict emission regulations were coming, IHC applied a pro-active approach and began gathering information. Recognising that this topic would eventually arise, IHC wanted to be prepared with the right answers for their clients.

Wärtsilä has pioneered the>> use of LNG as a marine fuel Wärtsilä is today recognised as a leader in propulsion solutions for gas fuelled vessels. The company’s strong and early commitment to this goal has created in depth knowledge of the use of natural gas and LNG. The Wärtsilä LNGPac is an addition to Wärtsilä’s portfolio of solutions for the LNG fuelled ship market. It represents further proof of Wärtsilä’s expertise and knowledge of LNG applications, as well as its dedication to make LNG available for all ship operators and owners.

DREDGING EQUIPMENT

What started with information gathering and supplier visits eventually led to a study involving several IHC departments and a classification society. This allowed for the gathering of practical data and the testing of possible options for the design of LNG fuelled dredging vessels. When DEME confronted the market with a tender for two new LNG powered dredgers, IHC was not only willing but ready to take on the challenge.

Tank layout inside the vessel.

Design Challenge

The tender phase, which included optimizing DEME’s design for the two dredgers, was not without its own challenges, one of which being the extra volume required for LNG storage. LNG storage requires approximately one and a half times more volume than diesel oil storage and in addition, auxiliary systems are needed for the treatment of LNG. As a result, the positioning of the LNG storage tanks is a very important choice that effects the total lay-out of the vessel. The development of LNG Dual Fuel engines for dredging applications give the ability to operate both on LNG as well as diesel fuel, making dual fuel engines a flexible and attractive solution. However, this led to other design challenges. One of the biggest being the fact that drive trains on trailing suction hopper dredgers are subjected to fluctuating loads, due to dynamics in the dredging process and disturbances acting on the vessel. Large load fluctuations can cause exceedance of the operating window, possibly leading to knocking or misfiring. IHC carried out extensive research on the dynamic behavior of dual fuel engines to find viable solutions. When asked about the study and design process, Peter Raimond, design and estimating department at IHC comments, “What makes it a nice challenge is the business units within IHC coming together and sharing their knowledge and expertise. This leads to an excellent synergy and gives me the confidence that we will win this challenge. I believe that by working together, integrating components and systems we create our biggest added value for our customer.”

Wärtsilä 34DF engine.

Successful Result

The result of this process are the designs of two vessels with very low emission rates. Currently in the engineering stage, the ‘Scheldt River’ has a hopper volume of 7,950 m3. The second vessel, ‘Minerva’, will be smaller with a hopper volume of 3,000 m3. The ‘Scheldt River’ will be powered by Wärtsilä dual-fuel (DF) engines. The scope of supply includes one 12-cylinder and one 9-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF engines, two Wärtsilä controllable pitch propellers and two transverse thrusters as well as the company’s patented LNGPac gas supply and storage system. Along with being the first ever trailing suction hopper dredgers to operate on engines capable of using LNG, other innovations will also be applied. Both vessels will be equipped with 2-speed propulsion to reduce fuel consumption in partial load conditions and equipped with IHC’s Eco Control Package, an automation package with several intelligent controllers that ensure continuous production rates and optimal use of energy during dredging and sailing operations. The expectation is that these innovations will set the standard for a new generation of low emission vessels in the dredging industry after delivery in late 2016 and spring 2017. i. www.ihcmerwede.com

PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY FOR WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL CUTTER SUCTION DREDGER

A Milestone DREDGERS ARE USED ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR DREDGING PORTS AND RIVER MOUTHS, AND FOR LAND RECLAMATION. DREDGER SPECIALIST JAN DE NUL GROUP is currently building the world’s most powerful vessel of its kind, and relies on propulsion technology provided by Renk in Rheine, Germany.

R

enk, a German company with headquarters in Augsburg, is a leading manufacturer of propulsion components and test systems. Its Rheine Plant has about 450 employees and specialises in the manufacture of gearboxes of all kinds. They develop gearboxes for commercial ships, supply vessels, liquid gas tankers and ferries, along with turbo gear units for industrial plants and couplings for a variety of applications. The delivery of the propulsion system for the ultra-modern dredger, currently designated ‘JDN8069’, is an important milestone for the company. Upon completion, this new cutter suction dredger will be the most powerful of its kind.

Tall Order

The order package for the propulsion system of the vessel consists of three generator gearboxes, two booster pump drives of 8,500 kW each, a gearbox for the 8,500 kW submerged pump, and a gearbox for the cutter head drive (also 8,500 kW of power). The gearbox for the cutter head weighs an

3 8 | S B I 2 0 1 5 | Vo l u m e 9 | Issue 5

RENK.indd 38

impressive 290 tonnes and is the biggest and heaviest gearbox that Renk has ever built for a dredger. It will be driven by two electric motors and installed on the lowerable cutter ladder of the dredger along with other drive components, the cutter head device, and the suction pipe.

Tough Conditions

Extreme operating conditions of dredgers place great demands on the individual components. The extraordinarily high shock loads that occur while cutting hard rock get absorbed by the gearbox. For this reason, the gearbox has to be exceptionally massive and robust. A special feature of the gearbox for this vessel is its double stage configuration. This results in improved efficiency, and compared to the common triple stage design, the variety of parts required is less.

Impressive dimensions – the cutter head gearbox type CDSHII weighs 290 tons.

Side profile of the cutter suction dredger.

The dredger is capable of cutting extremely hard rock in depths of up to 45 metres. While cutting, the pumps suck in the crushed rock, sand and loam through the more than one metre in diameter suction pipe. The high-power booster pumps generate pressures of up to 45 bar to transfer the waste material through a long pipeline to shore. This high pumping power allows for movement of material across longer distances than is possible with other dredgers.

Remarkable Result

The new cutter suction dredger for Jan De Nul using Renk propulsion technology sets a new standard. Upon completion, the vessel will not only be the largest but the

THE BIGGER THE BETTER SEEMS TO BE THE WAY FORWARD. BUT WHAT’S THE IMPACT?

The Impact of Mega-Ships MAERSK LINE, THE SHIPPING UNIT OF DANISH CONGLOMERATE AP MOLLERMAERSK, HAS RECENTLY PLACED AN order for eleven 19,000 twenty foot equivalent (TEU) ships, with an option for a further six. This follwed a record ship order for around six 21,000 TEU vessels by container line OOCL.

A

s container vessels seem to be getting ever bigger to achieve economies of scale, it brings with it increased costs on land. Deeper channels and berths require dredging, additional yard space and yard equipment is needed, and, in some cases, additional quay strengthening for the larger and heavier cranes required for loading and unloading.

Impact of Mega Containerships

Container ships have grown bigger and at a rapid pace over the last decades, faster than any other ship type. In one decade, the average capacity of a container ship has doubled. The largest container ship at this moment can carry 19,200 TEU, but ships with capacity of more than 21,000 TEUs have been ordered and will be operational in 2017. This development raises important questions. What are the impacts to the whole transport chain? Are these impacts still positive? Large container ships have generated cost savings for carriers, decreased maritime transport costs and as such, facilitated global trade in the past. However, larger ships require adaptations of infrastructure and equipment and cause larger peaks in container traffic in ports, which have

Facts & Figures The capacity of the largest container ships, per decade, over the last 20 years has increased by over 135%. Currently, the world’s biggest ship has a capacity of 19,224 TEU compared to only 8,160 TEU in 2006. Meanwhile, the length of these vessels has only increased by 14% in the same period.

increased the total transport costs. Olaf Merk, Administrator Ports and Shipping at the International Transport Forum (ITF) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), recently released a report, titled ‘The Impact of Mega-Ships’. It assesses if the benefits of the current mega container ships still outweigh their costs to the whole transport chain. This article gives highlights from the report.

Diminishing Savings

There are cost savings related to megaships, but these are decreasing and may eventually not even be realised. Doubling the maximum container ship size over the last decade has reduced total vessel costs per transported container by roughly a third. The cost savings of the newest generation of containerships are four to six times smaller than the savings from the previous round of upsizing. Approximately 60% of the cost savings of the most recent container ships are related to more efficient engines and not to scale of the ship. In addition, mega-ship development and the

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

The Impact of Megaships.indd 43

related container fleet capacity growth has taken place despite sluggish growth of world containerised seaborne trade. The massive ordering of new mega-ships has resulted in an oversupply, which will most likely dampen some of the cost savings, as low demand results in fewer savings per transported container.

Rising Costs

There are size related issues to existing infrastructure associated with mega-ships. In order to accommodate these super vessels, things such as bridge height, berth deepening, quay wall strengthening and new port equipment are needed. Costs associated with such fixes and upgrades are, in most countries, costs to the public sector. Further increases of maximum container ship size would also raise transport costs. The potential cost savings to carriers appear to be fairly marginal, but infrastructure upsizing costs could be phenomenal. Introduction of one hundred 24,000 TEU ships in 2020 would require substantial investments in those places where these

ships would be first introduced (Far East, North Europe, Mediterranean), but would also – via cascading effects – result in introduction of 19,000 TEU ships in North America and 14,000 TEU ships in South America and Africa. This would imply additional investment requirements in these areas as well.

Logistical Concerns

Supply chain risks related to bigger container ships are rising. There are concerns about insurability of mega-ships and the costs of potential salvage in case of accident. Mega-ships also lead to service and cargo concentration, reduced choice and more limited supply chain resilience, especially since bigger ships have coincided with increased cooperation of the main shipping lines.

the future, a more balanced decisionmaking process and cooperation between countries, port authorities and regulators could help to align incentives and recover costs. Container lines have typically not consulted anyone on new mega-ships before they are ordered. Constructive discussions between relevant transport stakeholders is a way to share views, understand objectives and plans, and provide better coordination to ensure optimum use of mega-ships. i. www.internationaltransportforum.org

t was a natural step to order the multipurpose vessel given the expansion of the group’s offshore services. These expanded services required investments in specialised equipment. Jan De Nul Group provides installation works for subsea cables and umbilicals for the oil and gas industry as well as for the offshore renewable energy market.

Uniquely Versatile The multi-purpose Isaac Newton was launched at the Croatian shipyard Uljanik Brodogradiliste on 7 March 2015. The ship

can be deployed on a variety of projects such as subsea cable laying, rock installation, and trench excavation. Many of the ships functions can be performed concurrently or in close succession, without having to convert the vessel. For optimal performance of activities, the vessel is fitted with a Class-2 Dynamic Positioning System. This system controls five propellers and maintains the vessel’s position accurately, even while in rough seas and strong winds. The vessel allows Jan De Nul to better meet clients’ requests to have a project executed by one contractor or one vessel and to

reduce mobilisation costs for its clients. “We designed the Isaac Newton to install heavy high-voltage cables at sea, connecting the wind parks with the coast, as well as the national grids of different countries with each other. It helps to bring the wind energy to all the families on shore but also transports hydroelectric power from Norway, for instance, to us in windless periods,” said Mr Edward van Melkebeek, vice president of JDN’s Offshore Division, at the christening ceremony in March 2015.

Functions In cable laying mode, the 138 metre long vessel will be able to load and lay cable in a single length with a total weight of approximately 10,500 tonnes, more than any other vessel on the market. The vessel has two turntables installed onboard for cable spooling. The upper deck turntable has a capacity of 7,400 tonnes and the lower deck turntable has a capacity of 5,000 tonnes. Because the cables can be loaded in one length, longer lengths than ever before can be installed in one length without offshore joints. In rock installation mode, the vessel can load around 10,000 tonnes of stones. Using excavators and a fall pipe with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), rock can be installed with precision to depths of approximately 400 metres.

Innovation

In recent years, Werkendam manufacturers have been focusing on the production of specialised ships through advanced technological solutions. This has resulted in the increase of innovation and research and development activities. As a result of one study in collaboration with the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, one of the WMI cluster members

introduced energy saving rudders. Ship owners who replaced their rudder systems with an Easyflow rudder reported around 10% reduction of measured fuel consumption. Werkendam has recognised that there has been a global growth of investment in Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as a means to reduce emissions. One of the WMI members anticipated the lack of LNG bunkering infrastructure as a main challenge of using LNG as a fuel source. Consequently, an inland LNG carrier was developed with a length of 86 to 125 metres and a total capacity of 2,250 to 3,000 m³. This is a big first step to facilitate the transport and bunkering of LNG via the major European inland waterways.

FOCUS ON GERMANY

WORLDWIDE REPUTATION

MEYER WERFT sees shipbuilding as a modern industry that combines cultivated knowledge and new technologies in one product.

Meyer Werft MEYER WERFT HAS ACHIEVED AN EXCELLENT WORLDWIDE REPUTATION IN RECENT DECADES FOR CONSTRUCTING AND BUILDING SPECIAL PURPOSE ships. The company is best known for its construction of large, modern and sophisticated cruise ships. Over the years the shipyard has built 38 luxury liners for discerning customers from all over the world.

Varied Portfolio

Meyer Werft is a company of tradition which started operation in Papenburg in 1795. For more than 200 years, this family owned company has built various types of ships. In 1975 the yard moved its premises to a location on the periphery of Papenburg and it was here that cruise ships were built for the first time. While known for cruise ships, Meyer Werft also has an excellent reputation for building car and passenger ferries, RoRo ships, gas tankers and river cruise liners.

State-of-the-art Facilities

To be able to compete on an international scale, production engineering has constantly been improving at Meyer Werft. A covered building dock was built in 1987, the largest in the world at the time, and was extended by 100 metres in the early 1990s. In 2001, a second, bigger covered building dock was created which has since been extended to an overall length of 504 metres. In the past twelve years the company has invested heavily in both location and new technologies (laser welding, robot technology, assembly lines and flow lines as well as CADSoftware, etc.). The laser centre was expanded and modernised (in 2008 and 2011) and a state-of-the-art pipe centre was created. In total, more than EUR 550 million have been invested over the past years. All this means that

the production premises of Meyer Werft count among the most modern in the shipbuilding industry. To this day the most demanding passenger and cruise ships are created in these facilities.

Environmentally Conscience

With its green ship concept, the shipyard has been pursuing a lasting strategy for improving the eco-friendliness of cruise ships. This concept focuses on reduced emissions and energy consumption. All new cruise ships built at the yard are equipped with innovative gas purification systems, or ‘scrubbers’. For many years, environmentally friendly water and sewage treatment as well as non-polluting waste disposal plants have been installed on the ships as standard equipment.

Focus on the Future

In August 2014, Meyer Werft took over the STX Finland shipyard in Turku. This new location focuses on the construction of cruise ships, car and passenger ferries, special ships, and offshore vessels. In addition to announcing the planned building of a new technology and development centre in Papenburg (to be completed by

TRENDS IN CFD APPLICATIONS FOR THE MARITIME INDUSTRY

EUROPORT 2015

Computational Fluid Dynamics COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) IS A BRANCH OF FLUID MECHANICS THAT USES NUMERICAL ANALYSIS TO ANALYSE FLUID FLOWS. In relation to the marine industry, CFD is used to calculate fluid forces and the resulting impact on vessels.

H

ull design is the number one factor in fuel efficiency. It impacts profitability, competitiveness and ship value. Since the first commercial ship basin was commissioned in 1883, towing tanks have provided naval architects with a reliable method of predicting the performance of a ship at sea. Tank testing is commonly used for both resistance and propulsion tests. However, the cost and effort of producing a model and testing it, means that this process is utilized late in the design cycle. This method verifies and fine-tunes an established design, rather than being a tool to help drive and optimise the design. CFD has long been considered a credible alternative to tank testing. It provides a numerical model that can be implemented much earlier in the design process. Naval architects can make use of engineering data

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

Trends in CFD.indd 61

to influence and improve the design process. Another advantage to CFD is the accuracy of results, independent of the scale of calculation.

Preferred Approach

The improvements in computing power, have allowed experts working in shipping to use CFD calculations to simulate vessel hydrodynamic performance more accurately and faster than ever before. The industry’s ability to handle complex geometry with all relevant details has also greatly improved. Development in grid generation has made it easier to generate high-quality grids for accurate CFD simulations. Many aspects have advanced the wide acceptance of CFD as a design and optimisation tool. The increase in hardware power combined with progress in various

aspects of the flow solvers permit a wider scope of more sophisticated applications. Such analyses have become increasingly important and have now resulted in CFD surpassing model tests as the preferred approach for many applications in the maritime industry.

Trends in CFD.indd 62

More sophisticated CFD analyses for ships and offshore platforms employ a variety of techniques that have become widely available in recent years. One key aspect for carrying out calculations based on complex geometries, such as analysis of offshore platforms, is geometry recognition. In this case the pre-processing software uses prismatic cells to recognise cylinders with extrusion along centreline and thin solids, or gaps, with projection from one side to another. The result being that today, CFD models often provide a higher level of detail than achieved with model tests. CFD software can now handle moving parts (propellers or rudders), model complete

Such simulations are now widely accepted by classification societies. systems rather than single parts, and can replace geometry (if required) to perform analysis with and without specific parts.

Turbulence Modelling

In the 1980s and 1990s unsatisfactory results were often blamed on the limitations of turbulence modelling. This type of modelling is useful for analysing the flow structures and resulting resistance of bare hulls, as investigated in most validation studies. However, the propeller behind the ship dominates flows and reduces the effect of the turbulence model. For most applications in the marine industry, the standard k-ε or k-ω turbulence models are adequate. But other models are available to better predict secondary flows, the Reynolds-stress model (RSM) currently being one of the most popular options. In the future, large-eddy-simulation (LES)

analyses are likely to end the debate on turbulence modelling. LES directly captures the larger, significant ‘finger-print’ vortices of the flow directly and uses subgrid-scale turbulence models for the small, ‘background noise’ turbulence. Currently only a few research institutions have the computational resources necessary to carry out LES calculations. However, these resources are expected to become available to the industry over the next ten to fifteen years through a general growth of computing power and cloud-based business models.

Classification Society Approved

Free-surface flows are of great interest to naval architects. Measuring the wave resistance of a ship can help them determine which small or moderate changes in hull shape could significantly reduce the

overall resistance of the vessel and improve its performance. Other applications of freesurface flows include seakeeping, slamming and sloshing. Modern CFD methods allow the simulation of highly nonlinear free surface flows. Such simulations are now so well predicted that they are widely accepted by classification societies for load determination in strength analyses.

Easier to Use

CFD tools have become more user-friendly as reflected in the use of integrated design environments. The integrated design environment combines many aspects of CFD software including free-form hull description using parametric modelling, interfaces to most modern CFD solvers, several optimization algorithms, and software to handle process management and user interfaces. The design engineer can then

work on simulation driven designs using one interface from model generation to post-processing. Growing computer power and fully automatic procedures have opened the door for formal optimisation as the natural step beyond simulation-based design. Lines optimization (also local bow optimization for refits in times of slowsteaming) saves typically 5% beyond the simulation-based approach. Trim optimization saves typically 3% beyond the classical approach based on crew experience.

Leave it to the Experts

Despite the growing power of CFD software, it remains a tool. The speed and quality of results achieved depends on the person using the tool. Effective CFD results are achieved through a combination of knowledge, understanding and skillful CFD techniques. Despite progress in number crunching, expertise and competence remain at the core of good engineering. i. www.dnvgl.com

he Siebenhaar company was established by Ted Siebenhaar in 1965. During the early years, their main customer was Krupp. Siebenhaar winches and slewing gearboxes were used by Krupp in their mobile cranes. For the first 20 years the business remained largely focused on the same products and customers.

SIEBENHAAR, A GERMAN COMPANY, WAS FOUNDED 50 YEARS AGO AS A BUSINESS FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION of specialized gears, winches and slewing drives for the mobile crane industry.

In 1986 Krupp acquired the company from its founder making it an in-house supplier. At that time, Jamshid Yektai was as a member of Krupp management. He proposed ways to streamline the business but Krupp did not put his ideas into practice. When Krupp put the company up for sale a few

years later, Yektai purchased the company in a management buyout.

Constantly Evolving

Under Yektai, the company has diversified and has developed many supply contracts outside of Krupp, especially in the offshore and marine industries. Working with customers such as National Oilwell Varco, Huisman Equipment, and Jan De Nul means that Siebenhaar has been constantly expanding and evolving. But they have always aimed to provide the best possible and cost effective implementation of customer requirements. Between the years of 1990 and 2008, the Siebenhaar Drive Technologies Company became a leader in the supply of winches, free fall winches, slew drives and swing gears, (switchable) wheel gears and special gears. Since 2008, Siebenhaar has improved on its leading position. Permanent innovative product development and high investments in production technology have been and continue to be key elements of the Siebenhaar Antriebstechnik corporate strategy.

Customised Emphasis

Siebenhaar gears and winches are specifically designed for each application and according to customer specifications. They are produced for the specific operating environment. A modular system based on standard components features a selection of individual gear stages and housing parts. Based on this highly

economic principle, components for individual solutions can always be combined in an ideal way. Modern equipment used by Siebenhaar includes state of the art computer-controlled lathes, milling machines and machining centres, and 3D scanning functions for measurement. Gearing systems are guaranteed by toothed wheel manufacturing supported by the latest gear shaping, milling and grinding machines. To operate such equipment they have experienced, well-trained and flexible teams of people working to provide quick, and customised installation.

Cutting Edge

The company invests largely in research and development. The result of such investment is the enhancement of competitiveness and always staying on the cutting edge of technology. Siebenhaar products can be found all over the world in ports and on vessels. As a member of the Research Association for Drive Technology, they employ the most recent knowledge of the industry in product development. Their quality standards are regularly proven through the acceptance of their products by classification societies such as ABS, DNV GL and Lloyds Register. Siebenhaar’s engineers are acquainted with designs and calculations required to meet such third party standards, an essential key for suppling today’s marine and offshore industries.

winch and free fall winches for one of the largest hopper dredger vessels in the world. Siebenhaar will supply these winches as a complete assembly including drum, frame, spooling devices and hydraulics. Parallel to this new project, they have finalized a new development of jacking gearboxes for lifting offshore service platforms. Prototypes are to be tested under ABS witness in late 2015.

Maritime Golf Event raises EUR 10,500 FOR DUTCH CANCER-FREE CHILDREN FOUNDATION

ON THURSDAY 17 SEPTEMBER, CIRCA 100 INTERNATIONAL MARITIME PROFESSIONALS TOOK PART IN THIS ANNUAL GOLF EVENT. THE EVENT, which was organised by the Dutch maritime publishing house Yellow & Finch Publishers, was held at the Goese Golf in Goes, the Netherlands, and marked its fifth consecutive year running. It aims – among other things – to raise as much as possible for KiKa, the Dutch foundation fighting the battle against children’s cancer.

Although the weather was not perfect, the participants were in high spirits and thoroughly enjoyed the event. The full day of activities was a combination of socialising and networking with participants taking part in a golf tournament and a golf clinic for the less-experienced golfers. During dinner Yellow & Finch Publishers CEO Charles Van Den Oostenkamp handed a cheque with a value of EUR 10,500 to KiKa representative Ms Janny De Witte. “We are delighted to be able to collect such a large sum for such a good cause,” commented Mr Van Den Oostenkamp, while Ms De Witte thanked all the participants for their donations. Yellow & Finch Publishers will continue to fund charitable institutions by organising another golf event next year. For more information about the 2016 Yellow & Finch

Maritime Golf Event and your early registration, please contact the publishing house. i. www.ynfpublishers.com

As I arrived in Antwerp my expectations were high, and I was not disappointed. Once again I experienced a truly global event with an array of exhibitors and visitors alike. As I entered the exhibition hall, I was taken back with what this year’s show had on offer. From cargo ships to offshore vessels, you name it, Marine Maintenance had it all.

to maintenance and repair service providers, as well as operations directors, marine superintendents and fleet maintenance chiefs from the world’s shipping lines, offshore rigs and naval defence fleets. In addition to all this, I had the opportunity to speak with event director Mike Robinson who commented, “The 2015 Marine Maintenance Expo has seen a growth compared to previous years, both in companies exhibiting and visitors attending. We are pleased to have attracted such high quality exhibitors, generating a strong Maintenance trade show.”
