Time for Reflection?

LESLEY BREAU | EDITOR LESLEYB@YNFPUBLISHERS.COM

SO, HERE WE ARE AT THE LAST ISSUE OF SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY FOR 2015. IS IT TOO CLICHE TO TALK ABOUT HOW TIME FLIES? OR MENTION HOW FAST ONE YEAR CAN PASS? FOR MOST INDIVIDUALS WHEN THIS TIME OF year rolls around, it sparks a time of reflection. A time to reminisce about the current year coming to an end, to discuss accomplishments or missed opportunities. For others, it might be a time to think about the coming year and future plans. In my experience at SBI thus far, my opinion is who has time for reflection?! Maybe this is because I have just experienced my first Europort trade show. Seeing firsthand the enormity of the marine industry gathered in one place put everything into perspective for me. It confirmed just how vast this industry is; that there is barely any time to sit and ponder what is next – there is no downtime in this industry, there is always something new! For those of you who I was able to meet in person at Europort 2015, it was a pleasure. If I did not meet you this time, lets hope our paths cross at the next show. For now, take the time to enjoy this issue of SBI. We preview two upcoming trade fairs, Marintec China and Workboat Show. Features this time around include Paint Systems and Coatings, where we profile companies such as Hempel and Cathelco. Also included is a focus on Power Generation, as well as Shipyard Equipment where we discuss Fender Innovations and the use of drones in shipbuilding. And of course, an SBI issue would not be complete without a Ship Report, or in this case, three! In closing I wish you and yours a wonderful upcoming holiday season. While we may all be busy, I do hope you find time to enjoy all of the best that comes with this festive time of year. Join us in 2016 when we celebrate 10 years of ShipBuilding Industry magazine!

NEWS IN BRIEF SBI FEATURE

Damen Marine Components Celebrates 150 Years Damen Marine Components (DMC), the oldest company in Damen Shipyards Group, celebrated its 150th anniversary on 7 October 2015. DMC has grown from a very small shipyard established in Gorinchem in 1865, to become the largest nozzle builder in the world. Although DMC’s own roots were established in 1865 when Jan van de Giessen set up a business from a small wharf in the ‘Kalkhaven’, the history of shipbuilding in the area actually dates back to the 14th century. DMC itself was officially founded 10 years ago, when two Damen Group members were merged, Van de Giessen and Gdansk Engineering Works. The DMC 150 year celebration was shared via a live satellite link, to around a 1,000 customers, employees, suppliers and colleagues, at its

three main locations in Hardinxveld (the Netherlands), Jiangyin (China) and Gdańsk (Poland). Looking back over the years, DMC Managing Director, Steef Staal told the gathered audience how, above all, he believes DMC’s success is because it “has become a partner to its clients, rather than just a supplier. We help our clients and work together with them.” As well as the vast range of top quality nozzles and rudders, DMC also manufactures shipbuilding constructions such as tailor-made stern sections for thrusters, crane foundations and crane arms. Recently, it added the production of winches to its portfolio.

NEWS IN BRIEF New High Speed Ferry for Russia The Kometa 120M is a hydrofoil vessel due to go into service next year off the coast of Russia, where its sporty design is sure to capture attention. The passenger ferry is being built as a pilot vessel for a new generation of hydrofoils, and its propulsion system is to be supplied by MTU. The distributor MTU Russia was involved deeply in application engineering and delivered the engines. The Kometa 120M ferry will be powered by twin 16V Series 2000 M72 units. Each engine delivers 1,440 kW output, enabling the 35m ferry, which has space for 120 passengers, to reach 64 km/h speed. As a hydrofoil gains speed, the hydrofoil elements raise the hull up out of the water, allowing the hydrofoil to ‘fly’ over the surface. Since air-borne vessels must be light, the propulsion system of the Kometa 120M must be light, compact and powerful. MTU engines fit the bill perfectly, which is why the company is a leading supplier of very lightweight engines for propelling high-speed watercraft.

NEWS IN BRIEF First for Spain Shipping company Baleària and Spanish Shipyard Construcciones Navales del Norte – La Naval have reached an agreement for the construction of two natural gas propelled ferries. This deal is worth around euro 350 million. The two ships, expected to be the first ones to operate on natural gas in Spain, will be among the largest in Europe and the biggest ever built in a Spanish shipyard. Baleària, with its focus on energy efficiency has ordered the ships with dual fuel engines that will be capable to run on natural gas or diesel oil. This will allow the company to reduce more than 30% in CO2 emissions. The construction of the first vessel will start in 2016 and is expected be in operation during the first quarter of 2018.

DBR Enters Cruise Vessel Market DBR has recently expanded into the cruise ship industry following a partnership with a Dutch leading engineering and installation company in the marine and offshore industry. For the first time DBR uses their knowledge of and experience in the worldwide marine market and classification rules to deliver the power supply for cruise vessels. To avoid any blackout situations while the cruise vessels are in operation, extra power demand in case of emergencies is required. DBR will deliver one power generator set for each cruise vessel to provide this additional safety feature. DBR scope of work also includes the local control panel for monitoring and a dedicated cooling system by means of remote radiators with electrical fans. The DBR generator sets will be tested in house and certified by Lloyd’s Register. DBR will supply the generator sets to a Dutch-based shipyard that will build each generator set in a dedicated modular deckhouse. Production commenced in October 2015 and delivery is planned for this year.

NEWS IN BRIEF DNV GL’s Green Coastal Shipping Programme wins Lloyd’s List Environment Award DNV GL received the HPH Environment Award for its leadership of the Green Coastal Shipping Programme at the Lloyd’s List Global Awards 2015 ceremony in London on October 2, 2015. The programme aims to encourage the development and implementation of green technology concepts in Norway’s coastal and short-sea shipping sector. Initiated by DNV GL, the Green Coastal Programme was kicked off at DNV GL’s headquarters earlier this year and aims to ensure that Norway has the world’s most environmentally friendly fleet of coastal vessels. “We are delighted and proud to receive this award,” says Narve Mjøs, DNV GL’s Green Coastal Shipping Programme director. “Not only because it recognises the work we have done together with our project partners, but because it confirms the industry’s awareness that we need to keep up our continuing efforts to make shipping more efficient and environmentally responsible through innovation.”

Reikon and Nedpower Join Forces to Expand Network Reikon officially announced during this year’s Europort that they are joining with Nedpower to expand into the German market. Both companies will operate independently, but will join forces in Germany to spread the word about products and services. To strengthen the portfolio of products, both Reikon and Nedpower looked for suppliers able to meet their mutual standard. This resulted in an exclusive distributorship for Reikon with Gefico and the possibility to sell Headway in Germany. Nedpower was granted an exclusive distributorship for Baudouin and Detegasa in The Netherlands.

Wärtsilä Collaborating in Marine Biofuels Program

Joint Venture for ALE and Ravestein

A consortium comprised of Wärtsilä, GoodFuels Marine, and Boskalis will head a two year pilot program to accelerate the development of sustainable, scalable and affordable marine bio-fuels. The program’s focus will be on identifying suitable marine biofuels, securing industry certification, and preparing the building blocks for large-scale production. The consortium will test several next generation bio-fuels made from industrial waste streams, at the Wärtsilä laboratory in Vaasa, Finland before sea trials are carried out on vessels within Boskalis’ global fleet. The consortium believes that bio-fuels will play a viable role in lowering emissions to levels that no other fuel can currently achieve without a capital-intensive fleet renewal or retrofitting.

ALE and Ravestein have announced a new joint venture to own and operate submersible jackup docks, with the first to be launched in Q1 2016. The news was made official during this year’s Europort where the new solutions package was exhibited. Ravestein, who specialise in large steel constructions, have designed the Skyjack 3000 as a floating and towable pontoon with the ability to load-in and load-out in shallow water at high capacity. Global heavy lift and transportation contractors, ALE will provide project management, engineering and operational scope for all projects involving submersible jack up docks such as the Skyjack 3000. The joint business venture will provide full operational and logistics services, including marine engineering, sea fastening and all aspects of marine operations.

Powerful Order for Fishing Vessel MAN Diesel & Turbo will provide the propulsion package for a new trawler/purse seiner, designed by Salt Ship Design in Norway to be built at Karstensens Skipsværft in Skagen, Denmark. This new build will be one of the most powerful pelagic-fishing vessels in the world with a bollard pull of more than 120 tonnes. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that this order is its first for a 12V32/44CR type with a power rating of 7,200 kW, making it the most powerful model the company has delivered to the pelagic fishery market. The new Voyager vessel will catch fish in the North Atlantic in an area known for its challenging weather, a primary reason behind the owner ordering such a powerful engine with such a large bollard pull.

SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION LEADS TO PURPOSE-BUILT DREDGER.

Hondarra

DUTCH-SPANISH COLLABORATION BETWEEN DAMEN DREDGING EQUIPMENT (DDE) AND BILBAObased Astilleros de Murueta shipyard has seen the first dredger for the Chambre de Commerce d’Industrie de Bayonne Pays Basque delivered successfully after extensive trials.

he aptly named 1,200m³ trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) will work in the French port of Bayonne. Hondarra, which means sand in Basque, will carry out maintenance dredging as well as replenish sand to the beaches.

Functional Design Throughout the design and construction process, it was a step-by-step collaboration between the shipyard and Damen Dredging. All design, basic engineering, naval architecture and vessel construction work was performed by Astilleros de Mureta, while all required dredging equipment was provided and installed by DDE. Working together they were able to design a dredging vessel properly equipped for the task at hand, ensuring optimal efficiency. The trailing suction hopper dredger was designed by Astilleros de Murueta as a straightforward, fit-for-purpose dredger, according to the port of Bayonne’s specifications.

Standard yet Unique Damen Dredging Equipment was happy to supply all dredging gear required for the TSHD. As is standard on most dredging vessels, the equipment provided included the trailing pipe, its hoisting gear, dredge pump, hopper, loading and discharging gear, overflow system and bottom doors. Hondarra boasts a 500mm trailing pipe that gives it a maximum dredging depth of 20 metres, which was delivered complete with gantries, and winches. Intricate dredging instrumentation was also provided by DDE that included trailing pipe position, load and draught position indication, plus survey software for precise positioning for optimum operation.

SHIP REPORT

Fit-for-Purpose One system also provided by DDE, and unique to this vessel, was a de-gassing system. When taking into consideration the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose and area of operation, maintenance dredging in the harbor of a warm climate, the need for such a system is obvious. While dredging in populated areas, it is important to keep in mind that natural waste materials gather and slowly decay producing gas bubbles that become trapped in the silt layer. When the dredger passes to remove the silt, these natural gas bubbles will be released. The centrifugal dredge pump cannot handle bubbles and will stop working, thus stopping the entire process. A vital requirement is to keep the dredge pump working until all piping is clean. DDE delivered a de-gassing system, as requested by the Chambre de Commerce dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Industrie de Bayonne Pays Basque, which is mounted next to the dredge pump. The purpose of this added feature is to ensure a smooth dredging process by taking the gas bubbles away from the dredge pump and expelling them to the air, ensuring the pump remains 100% operational. This is a special system installed on Hondarra, making it a unique fit-for-purpose vessel, as not many vessels are equipped with such a complicated de-gassing system.

This process was an exchange of ideas and information between two companies to ensure the best outcome.

Self Sufficient Bay of Biscay, operating area for Honderra, is notorious for its wind and storms. A constant supply of sand is required to refurbish and maintain its beaches, known by many tourists for their beauty. The vessel will mine sand from outside the harbour and bring it back to the beaches. The delivery of this vessel means the region will now be self-sufficient in its dredging needs. i. www.astillerosmurueta.com i. www.damendredging.com

tanks in new vessels, it can also be used as a uni-primer for most vessel areas, above and below the waterline, providing high quality performance and peace of mind for customers.

Unique Defence Product

Hempaguard is an award winning, hull coating product that offers resistance to fouling during idle periods along with fuel savings. Hempaguard was launched two years ago after a five-year development programme and is Hempelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first product to use its ActiGuard technology (an integration of silicone-hydrogel and full diffusion control of biocides in a single coating). Hempaguard comes in two different formulations for docking intervals of 36 and 90 months. It is recommended for all ship types and provides fouling protection at any speed and during idle periods. So confident is Hempel of its performance that the company offers the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first performance satisfaction guarantee. Since its launch, hampaguard has been applied as a full vessel coating to more than 350 ships.

Lasting Legacy

For over 100 years, Hempel coatings have delivered protection against the harshest of environments. Hempel believes that the coatings industry can and should contribute to a better environment. They invest in advanced waterborne products and innovative ideas to help customers cut fuel consumption, reduce emissions and hit their environmental targets. i. www.hempel.com

that is of remarkable low weight when compared to other fenders on the market. Their fenders are built with a cross-linked PE foam core making them up to twelve times lighter than traditional rubber fenders. The seamless corners and customised fit give the fenders a sleek design and also improve protection, dampening, and wear and tear characteristics. The fenders manufactured can be made in any shape and length. Fenders can be delivered in any profile from a 2D or 3D cad drawing, or from a template for new builds and retrofitting. By adjusting the parameters of the different materials, the fender has an improved contact area and is highly adaptable to the hull shape and intended vessel usage. The preferred way of fitting a fender to a vessel is bonding to the hull,

2 0 | S B I 2 0 1 5 | Vo l u m e 9 | Issue 6

since this is the fastest and easiest method. Besides some existing alternatives, Fender Innovations can also develop a custom mounting option to best suit the application. Their fenders will not absorb water, making it easy to do an emergency repair to prevent further damage and maintain optimal performance.

Personal Touch

Each and every fender manufactured by Fender Innovations is unique. In consultation with the client, Fender Innovations discusses in detail the operating conditions and purpose of the vessel. Following this, the specification for the fender is created. Fender Innovations adjust the specifications per project to suit individual requirements.

Fender Innovations can produce one-piece fenders up to 15 metres in length, something not offered by any other supplier. They also boast two double-coating booths to offer different top-coats and the possibility for logos and text to be placed on the fenders.

In-Demand Supplier

Fender Innovations provides a full-service package including mounting services, available worldwide for customers. They have a development team to help with the design and dimensioning of the fender system. For example, for customers who have an older vessel with no drawings, Fender Innovations can send a team member to the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location to take measurements, produce the drawings and then produce the fender.

Investing in the Future

In addition to the new location, Fender Innovations has recently commissioned a large five-axis CNC milling machine. This new machine is the largest of its kind for producing fenders. It has a milling range of 18.5 metres and provides highly accurate

Since they began, Fender Innovations has been busy filling orders of any size and for all types of vessels. One of their original customers was Royal Dutch Lifeboat Company (KNRM). Soon after, Fender Innovations was awarded a contract from the English Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for fenders for 50 Shannon Class all-weather lifeboats. For such hard working vessels, Fender Innovations not only provides the fenders, but can also provide the hull coating to protect the wear and tear on the lifeboat itself. They also recently finished an order for Fassmer in Germany, for 56 fenders for lifeboats on cruiseships.

Fender Innovations won an Innovations Showcase award at Seawork in 2012 for its revolutionary fender system. Since then, the company has grown and is now delivering its fender systems to more than 22 countries, for use on patrol boats, police boats, superyacht tenders, workboats and research vessels.

They offer tailor-designed and produced fender systems specifically adapted to the field of operation, with minimal weight and long lasting durability. The new location and the investment in new equipment means they are ready for the future and ready to keep up with their growing business. i. www.fenderinnovations.nl

With their skilled team of highly motivated professionals, Fender Innovations is able to keep up with the demand for their product. The recent move did not have an impact on production resulting in a smooth transition to the new workplace with no downtime. With a full order book and long standing

ntil approximately two years ago, push boats were imported from USA for use in the Hidrovia Paraguay Parana. The design of such vessels is adapted for use on American rivers. But the Parana, which means mother of the sea in the guarani language, has a flow which is one and a half times that of the Mississippi River. Concordia Shipbuilding saw a need for a new push boat design, one adapted to the work conditions and maneuvering in the Paraguay and Parana rivers.

Caesar Primo.indd 29

Worldwide Input Concordia Shipbuilding performed a study over many months to understand the Paraguay river conditions, and become familiar with navigation problems encountered when the river water level goes down. This gave them necessary information to design a push boat able to optimally operate in such conditions. The development process was not without its challenges, but Concordia was successful in its design of a vessel adapted to the rapidly changing river conditions.

In Paraguay, the shipbuilding industry is not well developed. Because of this, Concordia brought together partners from all over the world to add their knowledge and highquality products and service. All the equipment needed to build the pusher had to be imported from other countries such as China, Japan, the Netherlands, Argentina and Brazil.

department in Japan worked out the basic design in detail. At Concordia’s suggestion, a large number of Dutch companies were involved. SIP Marine provided CFD calculations and an engineer from Holland Ship Electric visited Japan to draw out the entire electrical system. In order to ensure the performance of the pusher, a propeller shaft system from De Waal was used. The nozzle was manufactured and supplied by Nautican from Canada. De Waal also supplied steering equipment and rudders.

Powerful Result Four propellers work to power the Caesar Primo with a total capacity of more than 6,500hp. The pusher has a length of 43 metres and a beam of 18 metres. Four Cummins engines are placed in a highly utilised engine room, which is ventilated by a system from Climalogic. The Reintjes gearboxes are located behind the engines and make sure the vessel’s high capacity is reached.

Engineers from De Waal, Holland Ship Electric and Alphatron optimally tuned their equipment during the river trials. Some of the onboard equipment was specifically chosen to meet certain operating conditions, as dictated by Concordia’s initial study. For instance, the coolers provided by Blokland have a special design and Van Wijk supplied heavier winches that are not commonly used in Europe. The boat has high maneuverability, with the living quarters jutting out towards the front and outfitted entirely in glass on its bow side, so that the person navigating the boat can visibly check the push and pull of the barge. In addition, rubber cushions have also been placed across the entire area separating the living quarters and deck, for the purpose of reducing noise and enhancing the living environment for the crew.

POWER GENERATION

Power Generation POWER IS DEFINED AS THE RATE OF DOING WORK. IN MARINE TERMS IT IS THE FORCE THAT MOVES A SHIP OR BOAT ACROSS WATER. THIS IS A VERY BASIC DEFINITION OF A RATHER COMPLEX TOPIC. Many factors come into play when considering the best system to install on a particular vessel to provide optimum power generation. And while it would certainly take up this whole issue of ShipBuilding Industry (and more!) to discuss all options, over the next few pages we will take a look at a few companies and products making ‘power’ news recently.

Caterpillar Marine Offers Complete Line of U.S. EPA Tier 4 and IMO Tier III Engines. CATERPILLAR MARINE IS NOW OFFERING C280 MEDIUM-SPEED DIESEL ENGINES FOR U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) TIER 4 AND INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION (IMO) TIER III SERVICE. Over three decades of continuous development, the Caterpillar C280 engine series has clocked up more than 45 million operating hours. Its reliability and durability have found particular favour among operators of offshore supply vessels, coastal cargo ships, tugs, fishing vessels, fishing inland waterway craft and workboats.

The C280 engines are available in eight, twelve and sixteen-cylinder models spanning a power range from 2,300 - 5,060 kW as main engines – conventional and diesel electric – and also as auxiliary generator sets. The latest models offer significant benefits when compared to earlier units. They have low operating costs, consume less fuel and result in reduced emissions to meet new environmental regulations. i. www.cat.com/marine

Important Milestone

Nathan Kelly, Caterpillar Marine production definition production definition engineer, says the introduction of the Tier 4 engine range is Tier 4 engine range is an important milestone because customers can now customers can now benefit from the latest NOx emission technology based on selective catalytic reduction (SCR). “The choice of SCR over other NOx reducing technologies,” Mr Kelly explains, “was made based on the Caterpillar commitment to customers customers to offer solutions that provide the highest uptime and minimise overall total total lifecycle cost. In marine applications, we specifically chose the best technology to fit the needs of our industry. We view SCR SCR as the preferred option for the commercial commercial marine industry.” Outlining the key benefits, Mr Kelly says, “The says, “The C280 is already renowned for its high uptime, uptime, reliability and durability, but for these Tier 4 Tier 4 engines our priority was to achieve the lowest lowest lifecycle owning and operating cost. We have have succeeded in this by improving engine fuel efficiency. fuel efficiency. Our Tier 4 engines can run at optimal fuel efficiency fuel efficiency because the SCR system is in place to reduce the higher reduce the higher NOx output.”

ON-SITE FUEL TEST KIT NOW AVAILABLE

Innovation Helps to Avoid Wear in Ship Engines ESTABLISHED IN 2003, CM TECHNOLOGIES (CMT) OF GERMANY HAS GROWN INTO A LEADING GLOBAL PROVIDER OF CONDITION MONITORING AND TESTING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS. THE COMPANY IS KNOWN FOR ITS EXPERTISE IN MACHINE CONDITION MONITORING, FUEL AND LUBE OIL ANALYSIS AND MARINE WATER TESTING. CMT NOW OFFERS A UNIQUE, EASY-TO-USE CAT FINES TEST KIT FOR DIESEL ENGINES. THE TEST MEASURES THE CONCENTRATION OF CATALYTIC FINES IN FUEL, PRODUCING RESULTS WITHIN MINUTES AND WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF ACCURACY.

lmost 90% of cases of cylinder and piston ring wear in ship engines are caused by cat fines (catalytic fines). These extremely small but highly abrasive particles are added during the cracking process for crude oil in refineries to allow the oil to drain more efficiently. After cracking, some particles remain in the heavier components of the oil, which is the oil used as fuel for ships. These extremely hard cat fines can build up in the cylinder liners and lead to increased abrasive wear on the engine.

Preventative Analysis

The leading method used on ships today to clean fuel is centrifugal separation. But this cleaning method does not remove 100% of the abrasive cat fines. The maximum concentration of cat fines as set by ISO 8217 standard for sea-going vessels is 60 ppm. However, leading engine manufacturers such as MAN and W채rtsil채 stipulate a maximum concentration of 10 to 15 ppm in the fuel before it enters the engine. After separation, gravity causes remaining cat fines in fuel to

settle at the bottom of tanks but temperature and vibration of the vessel causes cat fines to be stirred up and enter the engine. Without a suitable measuring device on board, this situation cannot be detected or monitored, resulting in increased engine wear which could otherwise be avoided. The CMT cat fines tester gives ship personnel the ability to determine the concentration of catalytic fines in fuel. The test kit is easy to operate and does not require any specialised knowledge. The measuring process takes less than five minutes, meaning results can be obtained at any time during the stages of the fuel treatment system. In addition, it is possible to measure the concentration of cat fines in fuel during bunkering. The various measurements allow for a timely intervention by the engine operator to effectively prevent malfunctions as well as wear in the engines.

Quick Solution

Identifying their customers needs, CMT developed a test kit to use onsite to produce fast, accurate results, something previously not available in the market. In just eight months, they were able to develop a solution, register a patent and deliver the first test kits from their production facility. Dr Frank Bernier, Director of Sales and Marketing at CMT comments, “The CMT Cat Fines tester ensures an accuracy of +/-2 ppm right from the first measurement. You get the results immediately and no longer have to wait for hours. The surprisingly low cost of the CMT measuring device is, of course, an additional advantage.” i. www.cmtechnologies.de

First Ship Powered by UEC 50LSH Eco-Engine Begins Service FACED WITH STRICT ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND UNSTABLE FUEL PRICES, MARINE CUSTOMERS REQUIRE PRODUCTS THAT SAVE ENERGY, IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, AND REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. TO MEET SUCH NEEDS, MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES MARINE MACHINERY & ENGINE (MHI-MME) HAVE DEVELOPED THE UEC 50LSH ECO-ENGINE AS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ENGINE THAT INCORPORATES THE TECHNOLOGY THEY HAVE CULTIVATED TO DATE.

he UEC-Eco Engine line is steadily accumulating a good track record in service performance. UEC eco-engines provide benefits such as low NOx emissions, smokeless operation, and low maintenance costs. The engines are reliable, feature an early failure warning system, and boast a compact design that is easy to maintain. The engine is applicable for use in a widespread variety of vessels. Ten years have passed since the first UECEco Engine developed by MHI-MME went into service in 2005. The first engine manufactured in the UEC-Eco series, the 8UEC 60LSII-Eco, was installed as the main engine on a large-scale car carrier. Over the past ten years, MHI-MME have been upgrading and expanding their line of ecoengines to enhance their performance and reliability. The latest UE engine series developed is the UEC-LSH. For the design, MHI-MME began by considering principal particulars on the basis of thorough market research. As a result, the engine power output and speed were adjusted to those suitable for chemical tankers, handymax bulk carriers, supramax bulk carries and medium range tankers. The first in the series, the UEC50LSH-Eco, meets increasingly higher market needs, including reduced, slow steaming and low engine-load capabilities.

Following the delivery and installation of first engine, MHI-MME has since received orders of 5UEC50LSH-Eco-C2 engines for service as the main engine of 38,000 DWT chemical tankers to be built at Kitanihon Shipbuilding. Going forward MHI-MME will use the information obtained regarding the operation of the ship powered by the first engine to make further enhancements. MHI-MME is committed to developing and supplying products that exceed customer expectations and provide added value. They plan to continue to focus on helping customers reduce fuel costs and improve operating efficiency in today’s difficult business environment. The concept will be incorporated into other engines that will follow the UEC50LSH-Eco series.

Shop testing of the first 6UEC50LSH-Eco was completed in March after undergoing verification testing. Assessment and verification was carried out on such items as the engine’s performance, reliability and vibration. The engine was tweaked to an optimal stage before being delivered to the first customer. The onboard vessel testing was done in August. The engine was then installed on a 35,500DWT chemical tanker, called ‘Chemroad Queen’, owned by Iino Kaiun Kaisha. The vessel went into service without any complications.

PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY THE WAY OF THE FUTURE?

Drones IN SHIPBUILDING

A DRONE IS AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV). SOME REFER TO DRONES AS FLYING ROBOTS. THEY CAN BE REMOTELY CONTROLLED BY AN OPERATOR ON THE GROUND OR CAN FLY AUTONOMOUSLY USING SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED FLIGHT plans embedded in the operating system. Besides the simple entertainment factor of operating remote-controlled vehicles, personal drones have, in the past, most often been used to collect still photographs and videos. WORDS BY LESLEY BREAU

rones can achieve vantage points that are difficult or impossible to access otherwise. Modern technological advances have led to an increasing number of uses for drones in commercial industries. Historically, drones have most often been associated with the military but they are now also being used for search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting. CPO Japan tanker vessel inspected using a drone.

Many Marine Applications

In recent years, drones have moved from complicated and expensive tools for the military into a hobbyist fascination. After making the transition from the military to retail market, drones are getting noticed for commercial applications as well. Various industries are beginning to see the benefits of using unmanned

4 2 | S B I 2 0 1 5 | Vo l u m e 9 | Issue 6

Drones.indd 42

aerial vehicles as a tool for improving their operations through time and/or cost efficiency. Although still in their infancy, commercial drones have recently been utilised for precision agriculture, construction surveys, mapping, mining, and first responders and safety. When it comes to the marine sector, commercial drones currently perform tough jobs at sea. Marine scientists have been using unmanned aerial systems for many years. The data collected during drone research flights has proven extremely valuable in a wide range of environmental and oceanographic studies. Search and rescue operations (SAR) and Coast Guard operations have also used drones for some of the more dangerous aspects of the job. Many of the same factors that cause a person or boat to become lost at sea, such as bad weather and poor visibility, also prevent SAR teams from safely deploying manned aircraft to aid the search. By using drones to help find and track people lost at sea and deploy lifesaving

equipment, SAR personnel put themselves in less physical risk. Such applications garner the most attention, but drones can also have beneficial applications in shipbuilding.

Drones and Shipbuilding

Drones are currently not playing a constant, fixed role in the shipyards. They are not often seen flying around a dry-dock or workshop, but the technology is available waiting to be utilised. The potential is there to improve productivity, efficiency and safety in shipbuilding. The drone can serve as means of visual inspection, for example for surface or coating condition assessment and crack detection. In many cases, visual inspection using drones may rule out the necessity of conducting more detailed testing such as ultrasound thickness measurements. Surveyors can use drones to give them an overall impression of the state of the hull and bulkheads of a vessel under inspection. The technology may be also applied to inspection of external structures, such as masts or deck cranes.

Drones could play an important role within the container port and shipping industries, in security and safety. At the Forefront

Polandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remontowa Shipyard recently used a drone to inspect internal spaces in a 51,747 dwt chemical/product tanker. This marked the first time the shipyard used this technology and became one of only a few shipyards to do so. The ship, the U.K. flagged LR-classed CPO Japan arrived at Remontowa on June 15, 2015 for its first five-year class renewal overhaul. A drone was used to inspect the cargo tanks, and the aim of the inspection was to assess the condition of the painted surface in the upper areas inside the cargo tanks.

Drone Inspection

A DJI Phantom 3 Professional UAV was used to carry out the inspection. This particular drone was chosen for its high-quality camera, manufactured for aerial shots, and the technology it

provides. The drone is equipped with a vision positioning system, and an inertial measurement unit allowing the Phantom 3 to hold its location, stop when the controls are released, and quickly respond to pilot commands. DJI Phantom 3 Professional gave a live view on the remote controller, and inspectors were also able to take pictures and video to support the inspection report. For inspection of the cargo tanks, the drone was fitted with propeller protectors and an external light. Flying in automatic mode was used in open air and in the cargo holds. To assess the inside of the cargo tanks, the drone had to be used in manual mode in line of sight of a highly skilled operator. The drone was able to inspect normally hard to reach places due to its compact dimensions and high quality

camera. Pictures were taken in locations indicated by the superintendent and paint inspector. Information provided by the drone to the inspectors facilitated the quick set up of required scaffolding in exactly the correct location to carryout the repairs.

Promising Results

Using the drone to inspect the condition of the cargo tanks resulted in a quicker inspection time and a more cost effective process when compared to traditional methods. Remontowa says this experiment provided a promising outcome and they are willing to introduce the technology where appropriate in the future. Other shipyards have also started to experiment with drones to evaluate their potential beneficial use in the shipbuilding process. Given that various organisations are overwhelmingly looking to drones as a tool to reduce risks and improve efficiency, it may just be a matter of time before drones become a mainstream tool in shipyards. i. www.remontowa.com.pl

Case Study I: Alternative Actions

When a 162m pipe-laying vessel suffered an oil leak, going to dry dock seemed to be the only option for bow thruster repairs. Dry docking would take the vessel off project, so the vessel owner contacted Hydrex to see if there was any alternative. A Hydrex technician was sent to meet with the owner in Mobile, Alabama to discuss the repair plan suggested by their technical department. The proposal included the installation of two open top cofferdams to close off the thruster tunnel. Both cofferdams were designed by the in-house R&D department at Hydrex and were built in Mobile at a local workshop. Construction started almost immediately after the operation was approved to ensure the cofferdams were ready as soon as the vessel arrived in Mobile. The cofferdams were positioned and secured with the rigging points. All water

was then removed from the thruster tunnel, creating a dry environment inside the tunnel. The required inspection and repair work could then be performed in conditions similar to those in dry-dock. Hydrex technicians removed the tunnel grid to gain access to the bow thruster unit, which was then inspected by original equipment manufacturer specialist who carried out necessary repairs. The Hydrex technicians then removed all the equipment from the tunnel and repositioned the grid. All that remained to be done was re-flood the bow thruster tunnel and detach the cofferdam.

Case Study II: Hull Repair

The transit flap of a 225m drill ship came loose and started swinging, causing damage in the aft bulkhead and a leak in the ballast tank. The vessel was located in Trinidad but was about to start a contract in Grand Idles, Gulf of Mexico. A fast solution was needed to prevent further damage and allow the ship to arrive in Grand Isles on time. Hydrex mobilised a team to Trinidad to perform an inspection of the situation. After the inspection they disconnected the transit flap taking care to maintain safety due to the instable condition of the flap. It was then lowered to the ocean bottom and towed away. The divers also took all the measurements needed to design a repair plan for the second phase. A temporary solution was proposed and accepted to

FIRST OF A SERIES OF SIX CARGO VESSELS

Nordana Sky IN 2013, DUTCH-BASED SHIPYARD FERUS SMIT WAS

New Design

AWARDED A CONTRACT TO BUILD SIX GENERAL CARGO

Nordana Sky is the first vessel in the series of six ships with the completely new ecobox general/project cargo ship design. Each vessel will be equipped with large loading floor area for cargo and will include a movable tweendeck. Cargo handling can be done with the ship’s own 85-tonne double cranes. The vessels also feature a single, large box-shaped hold of 429,000 cft that can be optionally sailed ‘open top’. The open top notation refers to the possibility of sailing in all weather conditions without maindeck hatches to transport large cargo with no height restriction. The deckhouse is placed on the foreship for better protection of deck cargo and enables the loading of oversized items over the stern.

VESSELS FOR SINGAPORE-BASED SYMPHONY SHIPPING. THE NEW BUILDS ARE BASED ON FERUS SMIT’S ECOBOX design, characterised by a flexibility of loading combined with economical and ecological performance. The first of the series, Nordana Sky, was launched in February 2015 followed by the second vessel, Nordana Star, launched in July. As their names suggest, the vessels will be chartered out to the Danish company Nordana and sail in her fleet after delivery.

SHIP REPORT

Ferus Smit Ferus Smit has been active in shipbuilding for over 100 years. They keep design, engineering and production of ships 100% in-house. This enables them to control the complete chain, assuring quality as a standard for clients. They have a workforce of 200 people and build six to eight vessels annually. The company has two building sites, Westerbroek, Groningen and Leer, Germany.

The Ferus Smit Eco bulbless canoe-type bow is designed to reduce fuel costs and to better sustain speed with excellent sea keeping behavior in harsh weather and all sea conditions. The propellers of the vessels are equipped with a duct for enhanced thrust at lower speeds and a reduction of maximum installed propulsion power.

lowest power consumptions to be found. In addition, the system also meets the required USCG type approval required for the vessels to be operational in North America. Land based approval was successfully approved in June with full approval expected in 2016.

OceanGuard OnBoard

On 26 March, 2015 Ferus Smit delivered ‘Nordana Sky’ to Symphony Shipping after successful sea trials. During the maiden voyage of Nordana Sky, the special eco bulbless canoe bow proved to perform very well in rough seas, with moderate acceleration levels and sustained high speed in large waves. During this first trip, Nordana Sky was able to demonstrate her full capabilities. After loading windmill components in Esbjerg, the vessel made a stop-over in Kritiansand, where a large 500-tonne knuckle boom crane was loaded on deck as project cargo for the U.S. With the cargo loaded, the ship headed for her cross-Atlantic journey.

Dutch company Reikon was the supplier of the Azcue engine room pumps. They also delivered Headway’s OceanGuard ballast water management system (BWMS). This ballast system was chosen for its simple structure and relatively small footprint which fit nicely into the engine room. The Chinese-made BWMS operates on a principle of electrocatalyst, which works in any type of water without adding any substances. The water is treated inside the reactor by hydroxyl radicals, which exist just for several nano seconds, and only during intake. The ballast water needs no holding time and the very low total residual oxidant values (max 2mg/L) will never cause corrosion to the hull. To treat 450m3/h of ballast water, the system consumes 8.8kW of power, which corresponds to one of the

The name Nordana is taken from its NORwegian and DANish background. The service started in 1957 as a joint venture between Norwegian Fearnley & Eger and Danish DFDS. Later on F & E decided to withdraw and the service continued under Danish management, but the name remains as strong as ever. Today Nordana is recognized as a specialty carrier, able to accommodate customer needs for cargo handling, reliability, and port calls.

PAINT SYSTEMS & COATINGS

Cathelco employs almost 100 people at its headquarters in Chesterfield, UK.

CATHELCO HAVE SUPPLIED ICCP SYSTEMS TO MORE THAN 10,000 VESSELS

Combating Corrosion with Cathelco CATHELCO IS A LEADING MANUFACTURER OF IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION (ICCP) SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL VESSELS, FPSOs AND OFFSHORE STRUCTURES. THEIR ICCP SYSTEMS WORK TO safeguard the hulls of vessels against corrosion. These systems are part of a portfolio of products that encompasses seawater pipework anti-fouling systems, ballast water treatment systems and desalinators.

PAINT SYSTEMS & COATINGS

Complete Solution

Although modern hull coatings provide protection against corrosion they seldom provide a complete solution. This is because the coating can be damaged due to abrasion which can occur, for example, as a ship comes alongside a dock. In addition porosity, or small imperfections, over the surface of the coating can lead to corrosion over time. For these reasons, most operators choose to combine hull coatings with an impressed current cathodic protection system. The purpose of the ICCP system is to neutralise the electrochemical activity that causes corrosion by providing an opposing external current. Using an arrangement of hull mounted anodes and reference cells connected to one or more control panels, the system produces a powerful external current to supress the natural electrochemical activity on the wet surface of the hull. This suppression eliminates the formation of aggressive corrosion cells. It also protects against corrosion caused by

the proximity of dissimilar metals such as bronze alloy propellers and stainless steel shafts.

Automatic Reaction

The ICCP system is designed to automate the current output while the voltage output is varied. In operation, the reference electrodes measure the electrical potential at the hull/seawater interface and send a signal to the control panel, which then raises or lowers the output to the anodes accordingly. The hull, therefore, receives the optimum level of corrosion protection at all times, and this proves to be an essential feature of ICCP. The system is effective and reliable, providing a known and controllable level of protection.

Quantum Response

Last year Cathelco introduced a new series of panels, called quantum control. These new panels provide a number of benefits, the most significant being the ease with which systems can be monitored and

C-Max anodes are easy to install, requiring fewer hull penetrations.

Quantum ICCP control panels store comprehensive data about the performance of the system.

controlled. “The quantum project has been driven by the fact that manning levels on ships have decreased in recent years which means that there is less time for crew members to check individual items of equipment on a daily basis. We have responded with control panels which record more data and make it instantly available,” said Peter Smith, Sales Director of Cathelco. The majority of larger vessels have forward and aft ICCP systems each with separate control panels, often a considerable distance apart. With the Quantum ICCP control panel, the two systems can be operated in a ‘master’ and ‘slave’ relationship. This means that the forward ICCP system can be controlled from the aft panel and information about the whole system can be viewed in one location, which is much more convenient for the engineer. Data concerning the performance of the system can be uploaded to a USB and emailed to Cathelco for analysis.

Specialised Systems

Cathelco provides systems to best protect vessels depending on size and area in which they operate. They have ICCP systems for ships operating in Arctic waters where lower levels of salinity have important implications. Stephen Ellis, project development manager at Cathelco explains, “The sea water in the Arctic is naturally colder and has lower levels of salinity which means that it is more difficult to pass an electrical current through it. Because the sea water has a high resistivity, the current requires a higher driving force and therefore we supply a 50 volt control panel, instead of the normal 24 volt which would be used in more temperate waters.” Another area of Cathelco’s expertise is the protection of FPSOs. Over the years, they have supplied equipment for more than 20 conversions carried out by SBM Offshore, MODEC, Petrobras and several others. Conventional ships over 175 metres in length normally have forward and aft ICCP systems. Usually the power ratio for these setups is a ratio of 1:3 as the stern area is much more vulnerable to corrosion due to turbulence in the water as the ship moves forward. In contrast, FPSOs are virtually stationary throughout their operational life and therefore output requirements are 1:1

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

Cathelco.indd 57

or 1:2 forward and aft. Mooring systems on FPSOs use multiple mooring chains and these cause further complications. When the links are tight they provide a pathway for corrosion currents, but when they are slack the connection is lost. Risers also need special attention because they are generally equipped with their own sacrificial anode system which can interact with the ICCP system. Cathelco’s new generation of C-Max anodes are ideal for applications on FPSOs. The main advantage is that they are diver changeable and can be replaced without the need for dry docking. In addition, they provide a high current output from a relatively small surface and this makes them lightweight and easier to install.

Safeguarding the Future

“Originally, most of our ICCP installations were on large vessels, but as operators have recognised the benefits in terms of reduced hull maintenance, we are supplying our systems to vessels of every size,” Mr Smith concludes. By installing such systems, operators can achieve significant savings in hull maintenance costs as well as fuel costs by having a smooth hull surface. Furthermore, the system will safeguard the owner’s investment and ensure greater safety through stronger hull integrity.

Orders for Ice Class Systems Cathelco has received orders for ice class systems to be installed on two vessels under construction at the Tersan Shipyard in Turkey. Recent vessels to be installed with the Quantum system are a series of ten 33,000DWT chemical tankers being built by New Times Shipbuilding in China for Jo Tankers of Norway.
