MASTER OF THE ICE Only 10 million people in the world live north of the 60th parallel – and half of these are Finns. Finland is the only country in the world to see all its ports freeze during a normal winter . Mastering ice has thus always been a life condition. It still is today.

Heading up Wärtsilä’s ship design project management and engineering team is director Andrea Morgante. He and his team have delivered the company’s most ambitious projects in recent years and noted firsthand the shift in design trends.

6 ROYAL ARCTIC LINE RENEWING ITS FLEET Royal Arctic Line, which is owned by the Government of Greenland, is undergoing a comprehensive fleet renewal. To be exact, five new ships are being built at the shipyard Remontowa in Gdansk, Poland. The five ships will be delivered in the autumn of 2015 and beginning of 2016 and will replace the five older vessels in the fleet, who after 30 years of faithful service are ready to retire.

HRH CROWN PRINCE FREDERIK TO ATTEND THE DANISH MARITIME FORUM aritime key leaders, ministers and leading experts from all around the world will be accompanied by the Danish Crown Prince when they meet for the Danish Maritime Forum on 7-8 October 2015.

DANISH MARITIME FAIR ON TRACK Right now the team behind the Danish Maritime Fair is working vigorously to create the largest maritime event ever in Denmark. There will be 9.000 m2 of space for the fair and 2000 m2 for conference facilities.

DESIGN THAT HOLDS ITS VALUE

MAIDEN VOYAGE WITH A TWIST Sailing straight into a typhoon may not sound like the ideal maiden voyage, but for the Wärtsilä-designed Estrela Do Mar it was a solid test of the pipe laying vessel’s (PLV) strengths - a challenge it passed with flying colours.

CLEAN AND PRISTINE When the Finnish Transport Agency announced plans to build a new icebreaker, nearly 20 years had passed since the latest launch. But what makes this icebreaker particularly special is that it’s the first icebreaker ever to be powered by liquefied natural gas.

CT OFFSHORE LAUNCHES NEW SUBSEA TRENCHER ROV The Danish subsea cabling installer CT Offshore’s new trencher ROV, the CTO 107-1100, has just been deployed at DONG Energy’s Gode Wind 1 + 2 Offshore Wind Farms in the North Sea. CT Offshore will use the ROT to install 97 inter-array cables.

TECHNOLOGIES MERGED INTO E-NAVIGATION Although there is not a clear definition of what e-navigation exactly is, a new EU project under the Danish Maritime Authority’s management, is trying to elevate e-navigation from a prototype level and implement it in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic waters.

Tuco Marine Group will supply its 11m ProZero Wind Farm Service Vessel daughter crafts to the two Ulstein Xstern vessels ordered by the German based Bernhard Schulte affiliate WINDEA Offshore GmbH. The vessels will go into charter for Siemens.

STREET ART AT SEA A ship, a street artist and the unpredictable Norwegian weather isn’t a combination you would initially pair together. On paper the line-up may seem an odd mix, but it is the story behind one of the most talkedabout vessel launches in years.

ROYAL ARCTIC LINE RENEWING ITS FLEET Royal Arctic Line, which is owned by the Government of Greenland, is undergoing a comprehensive fleet renewal. To be exact, five new ships are being built at the shipyard Remontowa in Gdansk, Poland. The five ships will be delivered in the autumn of 2015 and beginning of 2016 and will replace the five older vessels in the fleet, who after 30 years of faithful service are ready to retire.

oyal Arctic Line, which has exclusive concession for all ocean freight to and from Greenland and the Greenlandic towns and settlements, is to build five new ships. The five ships are made up of three different types of vessels, but they are all container ships and that means that Royal Arctic Line will no longer have dry cargo ships. - The new vessels are container ships, whereas the old ships are dry cargo ships. The way things work now, is that there is transshipment from the container ship arriving from Aalborg, where the goods will be loaded onto a dry cargo ship. In the future we will avoid the reloading. The goods will be transported in a container all the way from Aalborg to the final destination without reloading, John Rasmussen, COO of Royal Arctic Line explains.

Apart from the fact that ships are more cost effective because the company avoids reloading, the containerized transport is also an advantage, as Greenland is a major exporter of frozen goods, especially halibut. The container transport is a better way to handle the frozen cargo. - Since it is a continuous supply it will provide better quality, says John Rasmussen. He adds, that there are several reasons that the new ships are cheaper to operate. Among other things, spare parts for the 30 year old ships have

to be custom-made. This will not be a problem with the new ships. In addition, there will be fewer breakdowns with the new ships. - This winter, there have been many breakdowns due to the weather. This will not happen with the new ships, as they are tougher with a bit more muscle, John Rasmussen explains. THREE SHIP CLASSES Of the five new ships, the Jonathan Arctica and the Agnethe Arctica are coastal ships with a capacity of 108 TEU and a gross tonnage of 3,200 tons. They will ensure the supply of Greenlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlying districts and will mostly be sailing in North Greenland. The Ivalo Arctica and the Minik Arcticaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s settlement ships with a capacity of 36 TEU and a gross tonnage of 1,200 tons. They

are specifically designed to sail in the southern and central part of Greenland, where they will sail goods into the many small settlements. In addition, the Malik Arctica, with a capacity of 606 TEU and a gross tonnage of 10,294 tons, will be the largest of the five new ships. The Malik Arctica is the sister ship of the Mary Arctica, which the company had built in 2004. The Malik Arctica will be the only one of the five ships used for Atlantic services between Aalborg and Greenland and in addition to that, also sail feeder sailing on the west coast of Greenland and can sail to any city in Greenland. The new ships have a larger capacity than the old, although it’s a bit hard to compare, since the old ships are dry cargo ships and the new vessels are container ships. But in any case, the shipping company can get by with one ship less, once the five new ships are put into operation. Currently the fleet consists of 10 owned ships and one chartered ship that only sails in the ice-free season. In the future, the company will only need the 10 ships since the new ships are both bigger and faster. The next step will be the Atlantic service Apart from the Malik Arctica, who will sail on the Atlantic aside from feeder boating and

special projects, the new ships are primarily designed for sailing in Greenland. But that does not mean that there will not be changes within the Atlantic services. - We are building a new port in Nuuk, which will be completed in 2017. Once completed, we go from three to two ships in the Atlantic. At that time we will insert new tonnage and phase out the old tonnage, but it is still in the planning stages, so no actual decisions regarding the tonnage have been made, Jakob Strøm, Communications Manager at Royal Arctic Line says. The construction of the new port of Nuuk has also been many years in the making, as the company already identified the need for a new port in 2001. Still, the port construction has only just started. The reason that it has taken so long is partly due to the fact that it is a big investment and that there have been conflicting interests in Greenland when it comes to construction of the port. Not everyone has been equally enthusiastic.

from Nuuk to Aasiaat and Uummannaq. The way it works is that when they have been to Nuuk, they sail a week with feeder service. It is hard to explain how it can be profitable to load containers onto a smaller vessel and transport it that way. But it is, Jakob Strøm explains. He adds that it is a difficult balancing act for the company to find out how many containers it should transport compared to the need for supply in Greenland. SECURITY OF SUPPLY On the one hand, there is a desire to have an optimized transport system with the lowest cost possible but on the other hand, there is a desire for security of supply throughout Greenland. It is between these that there should be a balance. - We have a joke in Greenland that a years’ worth of cargo to Greenland can almost fit on a single Triple E ship. But of course it wouldn’t be enough to supply Greenland, Jakob Strøm says with a little smile. Although it’s just a joke, it says something about how difficult it is to maintain the balance between supply and economically healthy operation.

- In connection with the construction of the port, we will reschedule the Atlantic services so that the ships from Aalborg will only sail to Nuuk. Today, they are sailing feeder

n the conference area, the organizers behind the Danish Maritime Fair in cooperation with the European Maritime Development (EMUC) will launch the Danish Shipping and Ship Management Conferences. The goal of these conferences is to offer a concentrated professional program primarily for shipping company employees. Currently there are three conferences schedule and are but together so that participants also have the opportunity to take a walk around the fair.

- With more than 1,000 employees on the ships we have in technical management, we focus on safety initiatives. Safety must be ensured with constructive advice, a logical approach, by sharing knowledge and optimizing communication. We want to create a culture where everyone takes responsibility for each other. To share case stories and experiences with other shipping companies is a great opportunity to learn and pass on.

DANISH SHIPPING COMPANIES IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CONFERENCE Recently, Nordic Tankers and Clipper Group have signed up as Hosting Partner on part of the conference. When asked why Clipper Group wanted spend time on such an event, Emma Wahlstedt, Branding & Communication Manager said.

Ann-Louise Grahed, Senior Project and Communications Manager for Nordic Tankers adds: - Safety is our top priority. Our personnel security, external partners, our customers and the values â&#x20AC;&#x2039;â&#x20AC;&#x2039;we are responsible for as well as the environment. Nordic Tankers are constantly working to improve and develop our safety. All employees, both on land and at sea, are involved

in this ongoing work. We believe that security is about everyone throughout the organization taking responsibility for their actions. Our security goes far beyond the normal standard of a tanker company, which is usually based on SMS (Ship Management System) and also deals with the softer and intangible aspects of security, such as behavior, habit and culture. We look forward to sharing our experiences and exchange knowledge and insights with others working in the maritime industry. When organizers planned DMF2014, the original plan included approximately 50 stands and a small stage. With such a small exhibition there was no need for segmentation, yet there was a small commercial cluster, led by several Danish shipping companies such as Codan, Marsh and Skuld. That is where the idea for the design

of DMF2015 was born. This year the fair has reached over 200 stands and it now makes sense to start segmentation. Because the participants at the conference are expected to consist mainly of shipping company representatives, it was decided to create a new part at the fair titled “Shipping & Commercial” in connection with the 4 conference rooms which make up the Danish Shipping & Ship Management Conferences. On a similar note, a strategic partnership with Danish Shipbrokers Association was signed, in order to work actively to build this new forum. The market has welcomed the initiative and many exciting companies and organizations are already booked in. They include three international classification societies, three large insurance companies and P&I’s, Maersk Broker and TradeWinds. Jakob le Fevre, responsible for sales, marketing and business development of DMF talks about the concept: - The equipment suppliers know what it is all about when it comes to a fair, their section is already ¾ full now, although it has already been extended twice. They come because they

have a product and because they know from experience that it can be a really good business. Not necessarily because there are orders at the fairs, but it creates a vital network that is essential in the maritime industry where trust is the key word.

the fair, and all the other to exhibit. But we saw the initiative as a strong support for the project. This year we have concentrated on their support for the project by sending their employees and contributing to the conference in that way, Jakob le Fevre explains.

- The segmentation is an expression of our ambitions for the DMF. We do not want to just create a new fair that could be located anywhere. We want to create a meeting place for the entire Danish maritime cluster and their partners. We have created a section for organizations and education, and of course we could make more money by simply selling the space to the equipment suppliers rather than spend time on it. But just the fact that the entire maritime industry can suddenly meet creates so many new opportunities for cooperation and strengthens our competitiveness.

There is no doubt that the Danish Maritime Fair is contributing to the Danish maritime industry.

- The challenge for us is that the commercial side of the industry has not been used to meeting on Danish soil and we need a lot of resources to explain what for example an insurance company can get out of being there. Last year there were several Danish shipping companies with stands, but the normal dynamics of these fairs is indeed for shipping companies to visit

- This year we have received a very large number of agreements with media companies worldwide and we currently have banners, press releases and a bunch of updates on social media. A new agreement, I am particularly pleased with, is the agreement with Berlingske Tidende. Who have agreed to focus on the Danish maritime cluster on October 1st. The fact that it is the media house Maritime Denmark that is behind the whole project Danish Maritime Fair, of course gives som advantages, Jakob le Fevre explains. The Danish Maritime Fair will take place from t he 6th to the 8th of October 2015. For information is available on the website www. danishmaritimefair.dk

MASTER OF THE

ICE Only 10 million people in the world live north of the 60th parallel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and half of these are Finns. Finland is the only country in the world to see all its ports freeze during a normal winter . Mastering ice has thus always been a life condition. It still is today.

hen the ice sets, you need to keep your ears open and your eyes on stalks. How the ice freezes, where the dangerous currents are, and which way the wind is blowing! Black streaks for weak ice, green for glassy smooth, milky blue for a thin layer over an invisible hole – you need to know how to watch out for such things. In the old days, the postal route from Finland to Sweden was known as the most dangerous in Europe. The peril was not pirates or bandits,

but rather a peaceful, white blanket covering the waters during winters. All white and pristine on the surface but dangerous and deceitful underneath.

A hard winter was the postman’s best friend. The ice could be trusted. But come spring, vigilance was again a matter of life and death for the postman.

The archipelago of Åland, situated right in the middle of that route, consists of over 6500 small islands, of which about 60 are inhabited. The postman’s job was to deliver letters and packages to the people living on these islands – by boat in summer, and by horse and sled in winter.

Always have an ice pike and a knife in your belt. Listen carefully to how the ice creaks. Don’t be timid, because then you’ll get nowhere. Don’t be foolhardy, because then you’ll stay right there, for good. You need to remember that it’s cold, and deep.

In the old days, winter usually meant splendid isolation for Finland. The mail got through thanks to courageous postmen, but all import and export was cut off. (When the first purposebuilt icebreker Murtaja (‘Breaker’) came into traffic in 1889, the export of butter more than doubled in just a few years.)

some of its ports in the north and instead relies on ports on the west coast such as Vancouver.

So no sugar, coffee or other earthly delights from mid-november to the end of April. No wonder that the first ship in spring called for a big celebration.

While Finns back in the old days were used to living without certain goods during winter, the icy conditions got on paper industrialists’ nerves. That’s because along with rest of Europe, Finland underwent rapid economic growth in the late 19th century, and it became more pressing to export goods such as paper during winter months too.

INDUSTRIALISTS PAVING THE WAY It wasn’t until the beginning of the 1970s that all Finnish ports were kept open throughout the winter. A quick glance at wintry satellite images is all you need to realise why Finland is completely dependent on icebreakers during winter months for keeping foreign trade up and running. Finland is the only country in the world to see all its ports freeze during a normal winter (during an extremely cold winter, Estonia’s ports freeze too). Denmark’s and Norway’s ports remain open thanks to the Gulf Stream. While Stockholm can be sealed off by ice, the Gulf Stream makes sure that Gothenburg and Malmö stay open. During winter months, Canada shuts

The Finnish coast is particularly prone to thick ice, as the southwesterly winds, often prevalent in winter, tend to push the ice in big chunks towards the Finnish coastline.

So in the beginning of April in 1890, Helsinkiners observed a cloud of black smoke as the Europe’s most powerful icebreaker, the Murtaja, steamed into port. Since then, icebreakers have been launched at a steady pace. AROUND THE CLOCK Unless the winter is particularly mild, which happens about once in five years, the Finnish coastline is completely covered in ice and up to 20 icebreakers are needed to keep over 20 ports

open. During a harsh winter a ship travelling from the straits of Denmark to Kemi in Northern Finland has to push through 1600 kilometres of ice. The lane pushed open by the icebreaker freezes fast, and during a busy day there can be up to 10 vessels tiptoeing right behind the icebreaker to make sure they advance before the ice freezes again. So when it’s really cold, icebreakers work round the clock. And sometimes even that is not enough. During the winters of 2010 and 2011, which were both particularly cold, several cargo ships were trapped in ice, leaving businesses and consumers without their goods for several weeks. All icebreakers including multi-purpose breakers chartered to warmer climates were called in. If the conditions are right, a thick white cover can spread on the Baltic Sea fairly quickly. - During the Christmas of 2014 we hardly had any ice at all. But a few cold weeks in the end of January were all that was needed for the sea

to become even stronger will pack the ice along Finland’s coastline in the future as well.

But even during mild winters, icebreakers have work to do. Finland’s curse – the southwesterly winds – pushes ice in the Baltic Sea towards the Finnish coast. And even if there isn’t much ice, big wall-like constructions can still be formed especially during storms.

Mastering ice will continue to be a life condition for the Finns. Your whole body must be an instrument to register the consistency of ice. You hold your breath sometimes, and fear can make heat blossom like a rose beneath your furs, and then you kick forward as fast as you possibly can.

At their thickest, these walls can measure up to seven metres (and can stretch up to 30 metres below water level). Even though climate change is likely to soften Finland’s hard winters, the icebreakers will still be in high dem a n d.

to freeze, says Jouni Vainio, an ice specialist at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

Extracts are the postman’s notes from Finnish author Ulla-Lena Lundberg’s novel Ice, which is about a settlement in the Åland archipelago at the end of the 19th century. The much-acclaimed novel was originally published in Swedish in 2012. Thomas Teal, translator of the Moomin books from Swedish to English, kindly worked on Ice in advance for Twentyfour7.

DESIGN THAT HOLDS ITS VALUE Heading up Wärtsilä’s ship design project management and engineering team is director Andrea Morgante. He and his team have delivered the company’s most ambitious projects in recent years and noted firsthand the shift in design trends.

or instance platform supply vessels (PSVs), like the trusty VS 485 model in its latest incarnation, now measure in at over 90 metres in length and boast a loading area in excess of 1000 square metres. The original ship, launched a decade ago, was 85 metres in length and offered consequently less cargo space, although it was already among the biggest at the time. - We are now seeing a trend towards bigger platform supply vessels. This is influenced by the fact that drilling operations are going on farther away from the shore in deeper waters. As a result the type of vessel required needs to be able to cover a bigger distance, says Morgante. The emphasis on the crew now plays an increasingly heightened role in the overall design process too. For example the Ocean Art, a platform supply vessel of design Wärtsilä VS 485 Mk III L, will have a crew of 15 onboard who can expect to be away at sea for long stretches.

Keeping the crew happy and rested is even more paramount as the new breed of increasingly sophisticated rigs require more advanced platform supply vessels. In an annual report compiled by offshore service vessel giant Tidewater, the American company stated that ’crew costs will likely continue to increase as competition for skilled personnel intensifies.’ That sentiment has had a knock-on effect and influenced more user-friendly ship designs in the PSV sector. ’Complex vessels need a more specialised crew who are less available for hire, so you have to make a difference in order to attract them. Certainly the North Sea is ahead of any

- The focus on the human side beyond the safety aspect is becoming increasingly important,” says Morgante. - For our designs operating in the North Sea we have applied the highest standards to improve the comfort class notation. Reducing noise and vibration levels is vital as lots of studies show that a more rested crew performs better and, crucially, is less likely to cause an accident. COMFY AS A CRUISE SHIP Introducing innovative structural solutions to contain the vibrations generated by the tunnel thrusters, as well as attention to minor details, means that many PSV designs now have comfort levels approaching those of cruise ships.

other market in focusing on the crew experience and well-being.’ SPECTACULAR LOOKS One Wärtsilä-designed vessel currently operating in the North Sea is the Ocean Art PSV. She was specially designed for Atlantic Offshore to fit the tender requirements specified by Statoil. While the Ocean Art has generated a lot of media attention for its street art paint job, done by street artist Mariusz Waras, under the skin the ship is bristling with innovative modern design features to ensure that it satisfies the criteria laid down by the client. - The tender requirements were very demanding with respect to deck size, under-deck cargo capacities as well as low fuel consumption and minimal environmental impact, says Ove Wilhelmsen, Director of Offshore & Special Design Solutions at Wärtsilä Ship Design.

The focus on the human side beyond the safety aspect is becoming increasingly important. - Morgante Together with its sister ship the Ocean Star, it includes the Wärtsilä ECOmeter, a high-tech feature which allows the operator to optimise the vessel’s fuel consumption and also enables the generators to run more efficiently. - Both ships are quite modern in the sense that they emit very low emissions and also have low fuel consumption. All the lights on these vessels are LED and they both have a sophisticated automatic cargo securing system, says Roy Wareberg, CEO of Atlantic Offshore. - They can handle the waves well, which is important for the type of work a PSV needs to carry out. Both are equipped with the most high-tech equipment currently on the market.

- For the Aframax we did extensive research to be able to state that it is the most efficient vessel on the market in that class. A lot of work was put into CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and tank testing to ensure that our statement was based on facts, says Inge Skaar, Naval Architecture and Project Development director for Wärtsilä Ship Design.

to meet the stringent requirements set down by the customer,” says Solesvik.

Two other Wärtsilä designs earning plaudits for their overall performance merits are the pipe-laying vessels (PLV) Top Estrela do Mar and Top Coral do Atlântico. Both are delivered to the Brazilian oil and gas company Odebrecht, and are working on a long-term charter in South American waters for oil giant Petrobras.

- We’ve reached the stage where PSVs are at their maximum size. We’ll probably see more of the current larger sizes of 90 metres being built in general. Of course when it comes to new buildings you have to factor in the fuel price as the cost of the barrel drives investment in new field exploration and developments, says Morgante.

MOST EFFICIENT ON THE MARKET Factoring in environmental concerns without compromising performance is now a given, not just for the latest range of PSV ships, but for other Wärtsilä designs coming out of the drawing room too.

Indeed the design of the Estrela do Mar was immediately put to the test on its maiden voyage. On its way from Korea, where the ship was built, to Brazil, it encountered a typhoon. But the vessel sailed through without any problems. Estrela de Mar’s sleek appearance leads to savings in fuel.

Take for instance the latest Aframax tanker, which is available in three configurations; basic, environmental and dualfuel. The new oil tankers are expected to come onstream in 2016 and will live up to the grand statement that Wärtsilä has invested in them.

“The shape of the ship is very aerodynamic, especially the front. Sometimes the ships are tested in a wind tunnel using a model to find further gains. For this particular design the body lines have been designed to give improved fuel consumption in order

VALUE FOR YEARS TO COME Going forward, the head of Wärtsilä’s ship design execution team has forecast that PSV designs are unlikely to get bigger and that oil prices will have an impact on the offshore industry.

Regardless of how the economy fluctuates he expects business to remain brisk for Wärtsilä Ship Design due to the reputation the company has established in the market. - You can maximise profits for the owner by introducing successful designs to the market that will become an asset. It’s not just making a good design but creating one that will be recognised. Our designs preserve their value year after year,” Morgante concludes.

razilian Oil and Gas company Odebrecht took delivery of the PLV last September just two months after getting a hold of its sister vessel, Coral Do Atlântico. The hightech ships will work on advanced operations in the emerging South American market.

- What’s important is setting the limits for the ship’s acceleration, and this is something that is analysed from the very start of the design process. If the weather is very bad and the accelerations are too high then the pipelaying operations will have to be stopped, says Solesvik.

However, in order to reach Brazil the Estrela Do Mar had to overcome some hostile weather between Korea, where the ship was built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, and the Philippines where it completed deepwater trials.

In order to estimate the accelerations, Wärtsilä’s designers simulate various sea states using a software tool. Then a model version of the vessel, such as the Estrela Do Mar, is tested in the water at a research facility in the Netherlands.

- Along the way the vessel went through a typhoon which was passing through the area. When the crew gave their feedback on the choppy conditions they described the vessel as being ‘very comfortable, says Wärtsilä’s Øystein Solesvik. BUILT TO COPE Solesvik, project manager at Wärtsilä Ship Design, says the modern PLV is designed to cope with such scenarios.

- This vessel has a large tower and carousel so when it’s moving in the waves the forces acting from the tower to the structure of the hull depend on how high the accelerations are, says Solesvik. STEADY AS SHE GOES Ultimately the stability of the vessel depends on its metacentric height (GM) in relation to the hull form and vertical centre of gravity of the ship. If the GM is too low then the ship’s motions will be smooth but it will still be unstable, while a

high GM translates into a stiff vessel. A negative GM will cause the ship to capsize. - We devote a lot of time to ensuring that the GM figures are optimised for every type of vessel together with the acceleration analysis. The vessels have to be fit for purpose before being delivered to the customer, says Solesvik. He adds, - During extreme weather the ship goes into survival mode. There isn’t any pipelaying done then but it should be okay to be on the vessel. You don’t want to leave the milk on the table in the mess room but things should be able to carry on as normal. The performance of Estrela do Mar is a good example of our designers getting it right.” After emerging from the typhoon unscathed the Estrela do Mar begun operations in Brazil. SOURCE: WÄRTSILÄ

ärtsilä is providing the engines for the icebreaker being built by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. Icebreakers are all about sheer force and a massive amount of energy. But this icebreaker won’t be as big a polluter as its predecessors as it will mostly run on LNG. - This will indeed be the cleanest icebreaker in the world, says Esko Mustamäki, CEO for Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. It was the Finnish Transport Agency that brought up the idea of powering the icebreaker with LNG. - As you don’t have any cargo like big containers on an icebreaker, there’s room for tanks, says Mustamäki.

Still, when Mika Ojutkangas, General Manager, Wärtsilä Ship Power Sales, was introduced to the idea of powering an icebreaker with LNG, he admits that his initial reaction was one of slight hesitation. You need a fair amount of gas on board because the icebreaker requires great autonomy as it can stay out at sea for a month at a time where the chances to bunker up on gas are few and far between.

perfectly doable. The size of the tanks was optimised in relation to the vessel’s size. The icebreaker will run as much as possible on LNG, but thanks to the dual-fuel engines the vessel can rely on low-sulphur diesel fuel if there is a delay in bunkering more gas or when the icebreaker needs to maximise power fast.

- You need enormous tanks for getting that autonomy, says Ojutkangas.

LONG HISTORY Some icebreakers are used throughout the year. During winters, they stay in the Gulf of Finland, keepingn one of the most traversed routes in the world open for passenger cruise ferries and cargo transport, in and out of Finland.

But after a little doodling at the drawing board, it was concluded that LNG on icebreakers is

the Arctic Circle in Northern Finland, but it will also be able to perform oil spill response operations and emergency towing in summer if needed. Arctech’s and Wärtsilä’s mutual history goes back na long way, and according to Mustamäki, Wärtsilä was a natural choice. What convinced the people at Arctech further was Wärtsilä’s promise of impressive power output per cylinder.

ing the sea. The wind packs the ice slush into big walls, and if you intend to push through that mass you need a lot of force behind you. When an icebreaker sets its course it must deliver. The lane pushed open by the icebreaker freezes fast, so the vessels for which the icebreaker is making the channel are tiptoeing right behind. In the narrow channel there is no way for the vessel behind to turn left or right to avoid ramming into the icebreaker. So whatever comes in its way, the icebreaker needs to be able to push through.

The full scope of supply calls for one 8-cylinder Wärtsilä 20DF, two 9-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF, and two 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 34DF engines. The engines will be an upgrade from the usual fare.

- Big container ships may have a stopping distance of up to 1 km. The need for power was indeed one of the biggest challenges in this project, says Mika.

- Our R&D team has been busy improving the 34DF. This model has more power and is also more economical in terms of fuel,” says Ojutkangas.

This icebreaker will be able to move continuously through 1.6-metre-thick ice and be capable of breaking a 25-metre-wide channel at a speed of six knots.

The contract was signed in March 2014 and the equipment is to be delivered to the yard in spring 2015. The icebreaker will stand ready in January 2016.

MORE LNG ON ICEBREAKERS Other icebreaker builders are also waking up ton LNG’s possibilities for these massive vessels. The Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) yard in South Korea has ordered 54 Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines for icebreaking LNG carriers currently in production. These vessels will be stationed in Northern Russia. The engines need to tackle extreme conditions as the temperatures can sink to as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius. The LNG carriers will be able to break through ice more than two meters thick. These icebreakers will also have to show some muscle when the situation calls for it. Wärtsilä is answering this call by providing a total power output of 64,350 kW per vessel. SOURCE: WÄRTSILÄ

ince being unveiled at the Offshore Northern Seas (ONS) exhibition in Stavanger last year, the Ocean Art platform supply vessel has generated a publicity storm for its owner Atlantic Offshore. What’s piqued the curiosity of the mainstream press is the ship’s spectacular artwork which adorns the bow of this Wärtsilä design. - Having art painted on one of our ships was something we discussed in the boardroom for several years. We just weren’t sure how to go about it until we found the right artist, says Roy Wareberg, CEO of Atlantic Offshore. CUTTING OUT STENCILS The man entrusted with the task was renowned Polish stencil artist Mariusz Waras, better known as M-City. In the past Waras has painted on the Stavanger airport control tower as well as a Formula 1 car, but a huge platform supply ship was another task altogether. So began a meticulous dialogue between Atlantic Offshore and M-City. Detailed ship drawings and 3D images of the Ocean Art were sent to Poland, while the artist himself built a scale model of the bow. Creating the intricate patterns that feature on the bow required a significant amount of

preparation from M-City, who spent months cutting out all the stencils at his studio, which coincidentally is located in an old shipyard. - The total weight of all of the stencils was around 70 kilograms which we then shipped to Norway. When I got there I saw the ship just once before we began creating the artwork. We were a bit worried about the weather but it turned out fine, says Waras. M-City and his team had four days to paint the vessel and the pressure was on. Ocean Art was created before a live audience with the artists working round the clock at a public space in the harbour.

on social media and attracted the interest of international press. It also came with the approval of Atlantic Offshore which commissioned the original project. - The artwork on Ocean Art highlights us and Western Norway, where we are situated, in a good way as it features mountains, snow and industry. And of course it looks beautiful and quite unusual on the ship itself, concludes Roy Wareberg, CEO of Atlantic Offshore. Ocean Art has now commenced a 6+3 year contract with Statoil, for services in the North Sea. SOURCE: WÄRTSILÄ

- I organized two teams to work simultaneously on two lifts. From the start I painted the shapes and the team filled in the colors, while I did the stencil part alone. - For the backgrounds I used a special boat paint and the stencil part was done using regular spray paints. Atlantic Offshore later added a few layers of varnish, says Waras. POPULAR IN SOCAIL MEDIA The end result was revealed at the end of ONS to an audience of over 60,000 people. The vessel’s eye-catching artwork became a hit

TECHNOLOGIES MERGED INTO Although there is not a clear definition of what e-navigation exactly is, a new EU project under the Danish Maritime Authority’s management, is trying to elevate e-navigation from a prototype level and implement it in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic waters. The “EfficienSea 2” project brings together 32 partners from 12 EU countries, including 13 Danish partners, and the project has a total budget of 85 million kroner.

he overall objective of the EfficienSea 2 project is to improve the safety of navigation and increase efficiency at sea. This can be achieved by combining the different e-navigation technologies that already exist. Jan Michelsen, Vice President, Maritime BU at Cobham Satcom, which is one of the 13 Danish partners in the project says - We have plenty of individual e-navigation products. We have electronic charts, AIS products etc., but in this project, we will try to integrate the technologies. The individual e-navigation products are considered as building blocks, and we will try to integrate them more effectively. The project partners are public authorities, research institutions and private companies. An important part of the new project is the development of the “Maritime Cloud”. Which is an identity register and a kind of app store at the same time, Bjørn Borbye Pedersen from the Danish Maritime Authority explains. He is the Project and Communications Manager at EfficienSea 2. AN IDENTITY REGISTER - The Maritime Cloud is a communications platform that we have been working on for a few years. We are working on a number of enavigation services that we have tested onboard ships. You will be able to find these services in the Maritime Cloud and in that way it works kind of like an app store, where for example in the future will be able to find a service on reporting to ports for port calls. - But Maritime Cloud is not only an app store but it is also an identity register. So when the ships are reporting to a port, they can trust your identity. The way things are now, calling for port involves a lot of paper work. ‘National Single Windows’ are currently being implemented in each EU country. The ambition of the project is to create a global data standard for port reporting and a service that can communicate with the individual national windows. In this way, the ships only have to enter their data in one place. The Maritime Cloud will make this whole process a lot easier, says Bjørn Borbye Pedersen. danish maritime magazine

/ PAGE 24

NEW DIGITAL SERVICES The project also includes the development of a range of new digital services in the areas of navigation, automatic reporting and monitoring of emissions from ships. These are all services that will help increase efficiency. - Besides reporting to ports, we are working on communications for the VTS centers in the Arctic and the Baltic Sea. The idea is that you should be able to report to a single VTS center, which then shares the information with the other centers, so you do not have to report as many times, Bjørn Borbye Pedersen explains. - In the Danish Maritime Authority, we have worked with e-navigation for over almost 10 years, and in the last five years we have worked with prototypes, which we tested on ships. We have used the Oslo ferry and others for testing. Some of these prototypes have been so successful that we have to have them standardized by international standardization bodies, such as meteorological forecasting, which has to be accepted by the World Meteorological Organization, Bjørn Borbye Pedersen explains. FIRST WEB PLATFORMS The future plan is to offer the newly developed services on hardware platforms, but in the meantime they are offered on web platforms. The ArcticWeb is the first one and is already available. ArcticWeb is an e-navigation service that can increase safety of navigation in the Arctic by providing an overview of the ship traffic. It provides an overview of other ships’ routes and ice conditions. The system contains detailed information on ice, weather and navigation warnings. The project partners are also working on a similar project called the BalticWeb. A NEW COMMUNICATION CHANNEL An important focus of the project is developing a cheaper and better communication. The focus will be on two things. Firstly there will be a development of an entirely new and more effective and hopefully cheaper way of communication channel for the sea called VDES (VHF Data Exchange System). Second, the data exchange will be more intelligent.

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDANMARK.DK

- The thought is that the Maritime Cloud optimizes your data exchange depending on the communication link available. If you are in port and have a cheap connection, the large datasets will be downloaded while only the essential will be downloaded if you on open water with an expensive satellite connection. So you could say the Maritime Cloud contains three parts, a kind of app store, an identity register, and a service that optimizes the data exchange depending on the location, says Bjorn Borbye Pedersen. The deadline for the EfficienSea 2 project is three years and it began on May 1st. Only time will tell, whether or not the project partners can reach their goals within the three years. Bjorn Borbye Pedersen points out that some of the many services are close to being implemented, and others will be able to move from concept to prototype. - Some of it of course depends on the approval processes by international organizations, he adds. Cobham Satcom contributes to the project by working on the new communication channel called VDES. They look forward to being a part of the project. -It’s an exciting project, and it’s exciting for us to be part of the consortium behind the project. We will start with some preliminary studies and it will probably take a few years before there will be any results and thus some real products. In return, it will result in a reduction in the workload on board a ship. For example, when a ship enters a port, documents have to be delivered in person. If it was possible to upload the documents then the customs authorities, etc. could just download them and it would reduce the workload, says Jan Michelsen. The project has a total budget of 85 million kroner. 73.5 million of which the EU has contributed with. If you convert the EU support into working hours, it provides support for 47.4 years for only the Danish partners.

Module 1 provides you with a basic understanding of the shipping industry, focusing on the role of shipping in the global economy and giving you an introduction to shipping economics.

In modules 6, 7 and 8 you will focus on central topics of business management, dealing with investment analysis, finance and risk management, organisational theory and company strategy.

Understanding the Global Environment

The Integrating Strategy Project

Modules 2 and 3 will give you a background for understanding how the world economy is working, covering the drivers for globalisation, trade patterns, supply chain management and the logistical implications of this development.

The Integrating Strategy Project (ISP) concludes the programme and consists of a three-step process, where each step ends with an oral presentation. The final presentation serves as your oral defence of the ISP thesis. In the ISP, you will demonstrate your ability to analyse a practical problem in detail, drawing upon all the knowledge gained from the programme. An introduction to each of the three steps will be given during the last module.

Focus on Maritime Issues Modules 4 and 5 are devoted to industry specific issues, reflecting the holistic view of the programme and covering maritime law, ship design, and technical operational management, including the important aspect of information and communication technology development.

Acting as an essential platform, the module will give you a brief introduction to topics of great importance in the programme such as innovation, supply chain management, strategy, finance, and risk management. It provides you with an introduction to shipping economics and combines a historical introduction to shipping with discussions of current issues shaping the future of the maritime industry. It will also give you an overview of the various shipping segments, including shipbuilding and other essential areas of maritime activity such as insurance, broking, classification, financing etc.

Understanding the Global Environment Module 2: Supply Chain Management This module encompasses the main principles of logistics and supply chain management and the potential implications for international operations. It addresses the importance of increased customer demands, both in relation to supply chain management and environmental considerations. Through case studies, you will gain an understanding of the importance of managing the end-to-end supply chain.

Module 3: International Economics and Market Analysis This module is composed of two main parts. The first part introduces formal economic models simulating the behaviour of shipping markets, centered on basic microeconomic theory. It focuses on the tanker and dry bulk markets, with special emphasis on the practical use of partial equilibrium models. Shortterm forecasting models will also be discussed, including the

pros and cons of various types of market modelling methods and techniques, as well as system dynamics. For shipping segments with imperfect competition and economies of scale, the module looks at the potential use of game theory in understanding market and competitor behaviour.

The Blue MBA has been one of the most significant experiences of my career so far. At CBS everyone, from the highly qualified and international participants to the distinguished and experienced business lecturers, shared the same passion I have for the maritime business.

The second part introduces theories of international trade and macroeconomic issues such as business cycles and currency markets. A main focus will be on understanding the globalisation process.

Focus on Maritime Issues Module 4: Ship Design and the Maritime Legal Framework This module is divided in two parts. The first part seeks to present the role of ship design as a response to perceived or estimated market needs.

New ship designs are usually based on inquiries from customers with specific transport requirements. But new solutions can also evolve from lessons learnt from previous designs or from changes in regional and international rules and regulations. The selection of the right ship for the intended service, the construction cost, and transport economics are vital factors when competing in a global market. Competitiveness and commercial success depend on the optimum balance between investment and operational costs. The ability to implement and benefit from technical and operational innovations can be the ultimate success factor. The second part of this module gives you an introduction to maritime law with particular emphasis on issues relevant for a shipping manager such as charter parties, claims handling, liabilities,

limitation, salvage, etc. It provides you with sufficient insight into legal issues to be able to carry out fruitful discussions with maritime lawyers. The module examines the regulatory regime in shipping, and international political lobbying mechanisms, including a focus on various aspects of EU law.

Module 5: Operations Management and Information Technology

“

My experience in the Danish Foreign Service, and in government trade roles, has convinced me that businesses must avoid being insular and inward-looking, and should constantly explore co-operation and learning across industries and disciplines. Participants in the Blue MBA have an ideal platform to absorb the best of international strategic theory and of practical approaches to the difficult markets in which we all operate . It is a testament to the quality of the Blue MBA programme that it also attracts some of the most talented women in the industry, at a time when many of them are assuming, or are on the rungs towards, top leadership positions.

This module focuses on operations management and IT in the maritime, transportation and logistics industries. The first part of the module is an introduction to how operations management and IT can contribute to the business mission and to the competitiveness of a company. Formulation and implementation of operations and IT strategies with stretch targets, but with sufficient level of detail and realism to accomplish operational benefits and performance improvements, are important issues. The second part of the module will develop your skills to prioritise and lead specific projects targeted at improving the business processes of operations in your own, or any given, organisation. Focus is on training in fundamental principles of the efficiency methodologies known as ‘leansix sigma’, and other methods, tools and techniques through exercises and games. You will discover how to work with business process simplification, standardisation and maintenance with the aim of reducing waste and adding value for main stakeholders - often measurable as tangible improvements in costs, inventory, quality, delivery time and dependability of these business processes. The third

part of the module explains how IT and integrated applications enable competitiveness through business process automation, real-time decision making, and business and market intelligence. The scope of this module includes the role of the Internet in creating new business opportunities and relationships with business suppliers and clients. Overall, the teaching format relies heavily on the integration of real issues raised by participants and by companies.

Core Management Issues Module 6: Investment Analysis, Risk Management and Finance In this module, you will learn the basic theory and practical applications of methods of investment analysis (capital budgeting), and some basic principles of financial accounting and performance measurements. The module introduces you to theories and methods of risk management with clear guidance on how to apply the methods in practice. It examines empirical material related to the functions of financial markets and the financing of a firm. Case studies cover financing of ships and shipping companies.

Module 7: Organisation and International Marketing This module is divided in two parts. In the first, you will focus on knowledge creation, storage and utilisation processes in organisations, specialisation in organisational structures, and how structures can be coordinated by formal and informal coordination mechanisms. You will also explore the organisation of networks that allow access to

The business of shipping has evolved dramatically the last decades. It has always been a globalised industry but the complexity has increased and requires still more insight. The Blue MBA is a unique opportunity for people with practical maritime experience to gather and acquire the knowledge and skills that will make them able to navigate the complex future of international shipping.

members distributed over large geographic distances, how such networks emerge and how they can be developed and sustained. A central issue is how an organisation can facilitate learning and distribution of knowledge. In the second part of the module, you will focus on international marketing, with an emphasis on marketing strategies for service providers.

Module 8: Managing Strategy and Change This final module introduces you to theories of company strategy. You will discuss the strategy process, the main characteristics of global strategies, implementation of strategies, networks, strategic alliances and intellectual capital. The main topic of discussion is the implications for strategy of the increasing globalisation of markets. The module is a primer on theories of strategy with examples from globally oriented firms, serving as an introduction to the Integrating Strategy Project, with sessions on how to conduct constructive industry, company and issue analyses.

Personal Leadership and Development The leadership modules are an integrative part of the programme. The modules will enable you to build on your existing leadership skills and practical experiences, broaden your knowledge of how leadership shapes organisational outcomes, and develop your personal leadership presence. A common theme running through all modules is the development of authentic leadership. We will differentiate between good management and good leadership, giving each its

place and time. With the help of a number of cases and leadership theories, we will consider how knowledge of group dynamics can be applied to leading high performance teams, and review how effective leaders coach their people, manage conflict, navigate through moral dilemmas, deal with intercultural issues, and lead change. In addition to the cases, theories and discussions, participants will be able to learn from each other by means of simulation exercises.

The Integrating Strategy Project This project represents the final step before graduation, where you will integrate the various topics you have studied throughout the programme and apply them to a current issue or challenge in your own organisation. Analysing your chosen project in great detail you will utilise your newfound MBA skills in a practical manner, providing immediate benefit for your own company. This hands-on approach will help you understand the manner of interaction of various elements of management and how best to combine the different theoretical areas. To help you focus and to provide valuable feedback in the process of writing the project report, presentations are scheduled during which feedback is given by a panel of academic and business experts. These presentations cover the four constituent parts of the ISP: • Industry analysis • Company analysis • Issue analysis • Implementation plan

A Global Network

From the very first day of the programme, you will be on a shared journey with your fellow participants and build a longlasting network spanning across job functions and locations. Previous participants speak about using the network to get advice or expertise in a specific shipping area, recruit for new positions and to share ideas and best practices. Throughout the duration of the programme, your fellow classmates will expand your horizons, challenge your perspectives and add a valuable dimension to the learning experience.
