INNOVATIVE DESIGN AT ITS BEST Innovation is not just something that is created in large companies with plenty of resources and highly trained staff. Innovation is first and foremost about getting the right idea - and be able to put it into practice. This is how the ‘Vision of the Fjords’ was created by local professionals, deep down in a Norwegian fjord.

18 SMM PREPARES FOR ANOTHER EXHIBITION Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH is starting to look for SMM’s trademark, the large propeller in front of the main entrance. In about five weeks, on Tuesday September 6th to be precise, it all begins. Over the course of four days, the exhibition halls will be filled with visitors and staff of more than 2.100 maritime companies exhibiting at the fair.

4 WELCOME TO THE DANISH MARITIME FAIR 2016 In this issue of the Danish Maritime Magazine we focus on two pavilions; the pavilion of the Funen Maritime Cluster and the Swedish Pavilion. The reason being the interesting concept of cluster cooperation and how effective it is when it comes to participation in a trade show.

STRONG SWEDISH PRESENCE AT DMF

DESMI PRODUCES ACTUAL RESULTS From the very beginning of Desmi, the SMM in Hamburg has been a must as an international platform for the presentation of its latest products and contact with customers from all over the world. This year, Desmi is presenting its frontline products within both ballast water, energy conservation and scrubber pumps.

Karina Linnér, CEO of Swedish Maritime Technology Forum, explains Sweden’s interest in DMF and what has led to the decision of contributing with their own national pavilion.

FUNEN AIMS HIGH One of the overall foot prints of the Danish Maritime Fair this year is the Maritime Cluster Funen, where the cluster not only shows the achievements of a number of prominent and innovative blue enterprises from Funen, but also gives a strong picture of the regional capabilities.

VESTERGAARD GROUP AT SMM: READY WITH A RANGE OF NEW INITIATIVES Vestergaard Group is active at SMM in Hamburg in a variety of fields, which include both project assignments within engineering, environment-friendly diesel engines and a new concept for spare parts.

HAMBURG BRINGS TOGETHER THE WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY After a successful start in 2014, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH brings the International Wind Energy Sector together at the fair WindEnergy Hamburg. The fair will take place from September 27 to 30, just three weeks after the world’s largest maritime trade fair SMM has been held at the same halls.

THE COST OF OFFSHORE WIND HAS TO BE REDUCED The German tug operator Bugsier and Finnish Wärtsilä Deutschland may have found the solution to, how the installation of future new wind farms offshore can find further savings, compared to the 40 percent that Angela Merkel’s government has demanded from 2020.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE ON BOARD

The deck located above the navigation bridge houses some of the ship’s most important equipment – for example, the aerials, the radar mast and the magnetic compass.

An army marches on its stomach… To be sure, the cook is one of the most important people on board the vessel. And Filipino Norfel Trinidad takes his job as a cook with Norden very seriously.

WELCOME TO THE DANISH MARITIME FAIR 2016 In this issue of the Danish Maritime Magazine we focus on two pavilions; the pavilion of the Funen Maritime Cluster and the Swedish Pavilion. The reason being the interesting concept of cluster cooperation and how effective it is when it comes to participation in a trade show.

unen Maritime Cluster pavilion is organized by Udvikling Fyn, a strong organization that, on a very short notice back in 2014, succeeded in gathering many companies for their pavilion. In 2015 they also exhibited. This time with a slightly larger pavilion and now in 2016, they already have 11 companies signed and they aim for “full house” with a total of 15 companies. Hence, there is still room for those who could be interested. The Funen Maritime Cluster has one of the most attractive locations in the hall. The pavilion is 112m2 and it will be interesting to see the layout and their exhibition programme. We are excited to see how the Swedish pavilion turns out and we are thrilled that our neighbours see the potential of the Fair. 14 Swedish companies are participating in the Fair so far, however, not all registered Swedish companies will be part of the national pavilion. Companies representing educational institutions will exhibit in the Blue Career Lounge and most have found their way to the Fair through our partner and organizer of the Swedish pavilion, “Swedish Maritime Technology Forum”. The above mentioned Blue Career Lounge has shown as a successful initiative and as a result of the large interest we have now doubled the size of the stand from 70 to 140m2. The lounge now danish maritime magazine

counts 11 educational institutions as well as Force Technology who just this week confirmed their participation. They will bring a simulator to the stand, which will offer a hands-on experience. Shipowners’ Lounge is a strong concept. Six Danish shipping companies have so far confirmed their presence at the 84m2 large pavilion and their objective is not to sell products or services but to support the project by sending representatives from procurement as well as HR people and technical decision makers. A detailed programme and more information about the events on the lounge is announced by the end of August. The exhibitor list is available in the appendix. The list reflects the diversity of the maritime industry. Most exhibiting companies are Danish however, the number of foreign participating companies is still growing and they come from afar. This year, we welcome exhibitors from e.g. USA, Canada and Singapore. Don’t miss our invitation to the big social event at the Fair: “Networking Dinner & After Party” in the end of the theme. This event brings together the Danish Maritime Days attendees for an evening where ties are loosened and good food and drinks can be enjoyed in good company.

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDENMARK.DK

We present unique entertainment to break the formal atmosphere. The conference rooms of the Fair are virtually all booked and more events are continuously announced on the Fair’s website www.danishmaritimefair.dk In short; Denmark has now a recurring maritime event of international standard. For your information, planning of the next Fair in already progress, dates are scheduled for May 2018. The frequency of the Fair will in the future be every second year and it is absolutely essential that the date is coordinated taking the global maritime event calendar into account. We are still getting the last details on track and we can hardly wait to welcome the maritime industry to a fantastic and unique event October 25th – 27th 2016. On behalf of the dedicated exhibition team.

ment and so forth. In a period of 15 years, i.e. since 2000, we see an average annual growth rate of seven percent. It’s really quite a lot, stresses Karina Linnér.

- Chalmers Campus, for instance, has customized courses and I expect that they would also be interested in meeting new, potential customers. In this case, the Danish Maritime Fair as a good place to do so. Generally, Sweden shows an increasing interest in the maritime industry.

- The companies are offensive and the Swedish trademarks are well known. Even though they primarily do not compete on the price, Danish companies do not as well, market share and pricewise, they are talented. The Swedish domestic market is not very big so customers is to a large extent the international market.

and Swedish companies, and I think we feel a great interest in being present in Denmark because it is almost considered to be a ‘domestic’ marked, says Karina Linnér, who finds that this is a deciding factor for Swedish companies interested in the fair.

off the new product. We are delighted to have them on board in the pavilion.

An impression, we can build on in the coming years, says Eva Errestad.

- The marine engineering company, FKAB also joins us and they were among the first to register because they have many Danish customers.

- The pavilion will present a broad selection within the industry. Swedish Maritime Technology Forum organizes such an event because it is appreciated amongst the companies. Furthermore, a national pavilion illustrates strength. It also helps keeping costs down. Sweden offers no export subsidies hence the companies bear the costs and therefore also determines a budget for the event, she says.

Although not exhibiting in the Pavilion but rather in the education area of the fair, we also have the Linné University Sjöfarthögskolen and Chalmers University, both of which have training; basic training programs and Chalmers that has a more professional audience for those already employed in the shipping industry, says Eva Errestad.

MORE TIME FOR THE VISITORS Sales manager Kristofer Ericsson, Marinefloc says: - We are very pleased to exhibit at the Danish Maritime Fair for the first time and have expectations of what the show has evolved to since our first visit to the event in 2014. Obviously, the Danish market is important for us, not only because Denmark is one of the largest shipping countries in Europe, but also because the Danes both have and maintain a good environmental standard. Hence, the exhibition is a good place to observe how the market develops, and who is coming or not coming.

- Also competing Swedish companies are exhibiting at the Fair. Just as in the Danish regional pavilions, the Swedes see the advantages in forming a united front. IT IS ALL ABOUT MEETING THE CUSTOMERS! Swedish Maritime Technology Forum also organizes the Swedish pavilion at SMM in Hamburg and we have also been invited by Norshipping to arrange a Swedish exhibition pavilion next summer. And we will do so, says Karina Linnér. DIVERSIFIED PAVILION Eva Errestad, Swedish Maritime Technology Forum Project Developer, reports that the Swedish pavilion is a broad mix of different types and sizes of companies: - We have, for example, a very interesting exhibitor, MarSafe; a small and newly established and innovative company that shows a new type of storage box for life jackets. It opens automatically when in contact with water. - It is a product which has just been launched and tested by the Swedish marine and which has been found to work very well. The idea is to prevent a situation such as the one by the Estonia incident, where boxes with life jackets floated unopened in the water while there was a strong need for them, she says, adding: - They show this product in DMF because they feel that it is the right event for them to kick-

- I know that the Swedish educational programs have a pretty good reputation in Denmark. Therefore, I invited them to participate at the fair, which seems to have a new and slightly stronger launch than last time. For us, it seemed to form a good basis for a strong Swedish representation, she said. - We wanted to have both the stronger, and established companies such as e.g. FKAB Marine Ship Design as well as new innovative small businesses represented together with educational institutions. In addition, and in cooperation with the Swedish Maritime Administration, Sjöfartverket, we are looking into the possibilities of exhibiting the project STM Validation. This also brings a good angle to the event. - All in all, we believe we have a good mix this year, between established companies, the new-comers and training along with projects demonstrating the innovative edge that we have in Sweden, she says, and mentions that the initiative has been well received in Sweden and is expected to reach a total of approx. 10 exhibitors. Some of our exhibitors have also booked slots for presentations and will host a workshop with Green Ship network concerning 3D printing. - We hope that this will be a kick-off for DMF. Therefore, it is also a strategic move on our part to give a strong first impression at the fair.

- We always bring our exhibition bus, which is our mobile showcase. We have live demonstrations of our products; bilge water separator, sewage treatment systems and the original Whitebox. So we are pleased that DMF has been kind enough to let us park at the entrance, says Kristofer Ericsson, who points to the fact that DMF is smaller than Norshipping and SMM, which might result in less ”noise” and hopefully people might stay longer by each stand, enabling the exhibitors to give a good presentation. FUEL OPTIMIZATION AND WELL-BEING Sales manager Tor Järnberg, FKAB Marine Ship Design, says: - From the fair, we expect to increase the contact with the Danish shipping companies and potential customers, while exposure to Danish customers will, hopefully, give us a chance to meet as many as possible. - Although we have previously visited the Fair, this is the first time we exhibit at DMF. Now we have decided to participate on the Swedish pavilion through Swedish Maritime Technology Forum.

FUNEN AIMS HIGH

One of the overall foot prints of the Danish Maritime Fair this year is the Maritime Cluster Funen, where the cluster not only shows the achievements of a number of prominent and innovative blue enterprises from Funen, but also gives a strong picture of the regional capabilities.

roels J. Ankerstjerne, Business Developer Maritime Cluster Funen, part of the Developing Funen, says: - We are wide range of companies on Funen, that all relate to the maritime environment. When someone creates a maritime exhibition in Denmark, we need to be present - both as a cluster and as companies. We need to present ourselves in a positive light, and when we have the opportunity to do so in a shared pavilion such as this, the project is definitely worth supporting. We have done so since 2014. This way, we show just how many companies in Funen that have something to offer.

danish maritime magazine

/ PAGE 10

Â - I know that there have been challenges, but it is difficult to start up such an exhibition from scratch, and I believe that we, as a development company with clear maritime interests, must take part. Our companies find participation in the Fair really positive, even though some may previously have lacked something. Patience is required. - We call ourselves Maritime Cluster Funen because we have 200 maritime companies on Funen. - When the market is under pressure as it is now, then comes innovation. People are forced to look

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDENMARK.DK

at other means or new products, solutions or new collaborations where two-three companies team up and find common solutions covering a wider market or broader ranges of products to cover the market. COMPETE AND COOPERATE - For us, it is important to support the participating companies in getting their message out in the press and in being visible on a fair such as this. The cluster is the hub. It is the companies we are promoting, he says and mentions that the cooperation in clusters work well even among competing companies.

- Even in competition there will always be niches or markets, where one company is stronger than the other and one can help the other move forward. Furthermore, there might be complementary products that can fill a gap. We clearly see that they use each other in such ways as well, says Troels Ankerstjerne. AIR LIFTS FUEL ECONOMY Tuco Marine in Faaborg is among the exhibitors at this year’s Danish Maritime Fair. Director Jonas Pedersen, Tuco, is looking forward to the fair: - We did get some contacts last year, with whom we are still in contact and continuously work with, but besides that we must say that we see no direct payoff in terms of actual orders. - However, we do find it important to support that we in Denmark have a professional maritime exhibition and a meeting place, which we have not had before. Danish Maritime Fair is indeed a step forward, and we believe that it is important that we, as a representative of the industry show our support and are present. Being part of a cluster is also a way to be part of the community, says Jonas Pedersen, who for Tuco’s case is excited to present its Pro Zero series of fast workboats: - We bring some exciting items and just before fair, we will release the news of the sea trials we have made based on a newly developed product; an ASV work boat that shows very attractive fuel savings based on a technology where compressed air is trapped under the hull, he said. Fayard: Looking forward to active dialogues - We present our facilities and we would also like to present our mindset, but this is difficult to show on a board. Such things are communicated between people and this is why we are here says Ivan S. Larsen, Fayard.

- Being a shipyard makes it difficult to bring and show our facilities. We must show our presence as an eye catcher and therefore, we have no need of a large stand. Mostly, it is about presence. - We also exhibited the last year and my expectations for this year is that there will be more visitors, and that the shipowners in Copenhagen and the nearby countries will make use of the fair. I hope that the Danish Maritime Days activities will take place more or less in the same location and not all over the city. This will allow more visitors at the fair and where we are available - including” speed dating” and the like instead of simply presenting technology. DAMPA: INTERNATIONAL FOCUS Sales manager Lars Stokholm Dampa says: Our expectation is that being together at the fair as Funen maritime cluster will show a slightly stronger image externally. Our aim is creating good relations with other companies, e.g. Danish suppliers. This is the idea of t he cluster; that we can draw on each other’s experiences. We

all gather information from around the world and the more we share the better. - Generally, we would like to raise the flag and show the customers at the show our ceilings, our news and the various possibilities in our products, he says and elaborates: - The news we bring is primarily on surfaces where we have seen great development during the past two-three years. More and more we supply to cruise ships, where the demands are increasing. We need to keep up - from traditional surface to laminate, fabric surfaces, leather, or whatever else customers want. Dampa values that there is an international maritime exhibition in Denmark. - Denmark is not our largest market, but we hope to meet new customers as well as meeting existing ones to show that we are still active with new initiatives.

DANISH MARITIME FAIR

NETWORKING DINNER & AFTER PARTY Danish Maritime Fair handler om relationer. Om at danne nye og forstærke eksisterende bånd imellem de forskellige aktører i Det Blå Danmark samt med de lande som handler med os. Vi sætter faglighed i højsædet med en række relevante konferencer og events, men vi ved også at nogen gange, så foregår det vigtigste arbejde over en middag eller en Gin & Tonic, hvor der er mulighed for at lære hinanden nærmere at kende under mere afslappede forhold. I år præsenterer vi derfor et nyt koncept ”DMF Networking Dinner & After Party”. Arrangementet

The narrator of the show is the great magician Jean Jacquel Le Mage from the 19th century. The show tells the story of how he created an act so wondrous and intricate that anyone who saw it turned instantaneously into the best version of themselves. Le Mage kidnapped all the leaders of the world and placed them in a hidden theater, forcing them to see his performance, thus saving the world from all its evil. But something went terribly wrong at that show. A gruesome evil escaped from Le

Mage himself. Barely managing to gain control of the situation, Le Mage vanished on stage taking the collected evil of the theater hall with him and sealing it within his mind. Now he is on an introspective voyage through a twisted landscape, and here he meets the personifications of all that is wrong with our world. The story of Le Mage and the demons of the world is a theatrical music event and a sociocritical caricature of the modern human.

har plads til knap 500 deltagere og starter med velkomstdrink, derefter en tre retters middag fra Madkastellet som vandt guld i 2015 Danish MPI Awards. Det hele naturligvis med øl, vind og vand ad libitum. For at sikre den gode stemning, virkelig lækker musik og et godt grin har vi inviteret det unikke danske 14 mands Swingband Zirkus med dansere, som vil dels spille under middagen, give et uforglemmeligt show og endeligt sætter vi en solid DJ på så der kommer gang i danseskoene. Billetter sælges efter først til mølle princippet og bestilles ved at sende en e-mail til booking@danishmaritimefair.dk Dato: 26. Oktober 2016 Tid: 18:00 – 24:00

Pris 949 kr.

Zirkus There can be no doubt, witnessing Zirkus perform is an experience beyond anything you have ever seen before.

he deep Norwegian fjords, surrounded by mountains that rise steeply towards the sky, is probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. UNESCO seems to think too, in 2005 they chose to put the West Norwegian Fjord Landscape on the World Heritage List of the most unique and worthy places on earth. Each year, the magnificent fjords attract up to half a million tourists, and the number is growing each passing year. The fjords are good business, and anything that floats has until now

been used to ferry tourists around in the beautiful countryside. - We market The Fjord Landscape as one of the cleanest places in the world, but until now we have sailed tourists around in old diesel ferries from the 60s and 70s. That is of course not ok, says Rolf Sandvik, CEO of The Fjords. The Fjords is a joint venture between Norway’s largest ferry company Fjord1 and travel organizer Flåm AS. Tha Fjords operate seven vessels sailing with tourists in Geirangerfjord, Lysefjorden and Nærøyfjord.

The old ferry that sailed on Nærøyfjord was close to having to be replaced, and the company had to find a replacement for the old ferry. But it could not just be one of the same kind. Times have changed. THE VISION - We want to build a new fleet based on sustainable principles. Ships in harmony with the unique nature they display. Ships that are meeting future environmental requirements already today, says Rolf Sandvik. The requirements for the new ferry were very clear: High environmental standards were undisputed, as was the price - max. 90 million Norwegian kroner. For the sake of narrow passages on the 19 km long fjord, the ship can be no more than 42 meters long and 15 meters wide. Nevertheless, it must seat 400 passengers. And it was to be built and ready for delivery within maximum one year from the purchase order.

When the requirements were set, The Fjords contacted four shipyards. Three of them quickly turned it down and said that it simply could not meet all requirements. Only one shipyard said: Fine – we will do. It was the local shipyard Brødrene Aa in Nordfjord. THE SHIPYARD Brødrene Aa was founded in 1947. In the beginning, the brothers built small ships from wood, a material which has since been replaced with fiberglass. In the 80’s, they built fast catamarans, before it in 2002 completed its first ship in composite. Today, the company has been taken over by the sons and nephews and they now exclusively produce composite ships. Typically ships with a focus on high speed and low weight in order to keep fuel consumption down. The yard currently has 110 employees. DESIGN Vision of the Fjords, which is the name of the new ferry, looks like no other ship. Beautiful, sharp lines and materials completely in black,

white and stainless steel make the ship unusually harmonious to look at. Futuristic bound together by the long outer ramps that connect the ship’s deck and at the same time ensures that all passengers outside have first row seats to the magnificent nature, this without blocking the view of those passengers who choose to enjoy nature behind the large windows. The architect of the beautiful and innovative design is Torstein Aa, graphic designer and third owner generation. He has literally grown up in the yard, and with the view of the steep mountains in Nordfjord. It is from the side of those mountains that Torstein Aa have drawn the inspiration for the ship’s lines. - The paths that go up the mountains are always going in zigzag. So that the increase will not be too abrupt, and to take advantage of the mountain’s width, says Torstein Aa. - It is those zigzag lines that are at the core of the design. The large outdoor ramps move in

zigzag up to the viewing platform on the top of the ferry. The absence of steps makes it easy for both the very young, elderly and disabled to move around the ship. The ramps are also wide, so there is room to stand and enjoy nature from the ramps, while other passengers are moving up and down. Finally, the ramps are placed so they do not block the view from the three indoor lounges, that are made up of simple, natural materials – not to steal attention from the nature outside.

electric motors, while in the World Heritage protected Nærøyfjord.

THE SHIP The yard was able to build the ferry in just one year partly due to the fact, that they did not have to start from scratch. They already had the right hull, although not in the exact dimensions, and a lot of experience from building composite catamarans over many years.

The trip back and forth to the entrance of the Nærøyfjord is done at 22 knots and this is where the diesel engines are used to power the hybrid ferry’s electric motors. At the same time, the diesel engines charge the batteries back up.

When it comes to fast ferries, the light hull keeps the fuel cost down and when it comes to Vision of the Fjords, the low weight makes it possible to operate the ferry by batteries connected to

The maximum speed in the fjord is no more than 8 knots, which the batteries have no problem supplying. The batteries operating the ferry also insure that it can move silently through the water without polluting the air. The special design of the Hull also means, that the ship leaves very few waves in the water, which helps to preserve the delicate coastline.

TECH The technical parts below deck are as advanced as the beautiful lines above water. Technically speaking, the ferry is hybrid, since the energy required for propulsion can come from both the diesel engines and the batteries.

The ABB Onboard DC Grid System ensures the transfer of energy between diesel, battery pack, electric motors and propellers. The two main engines each deliver 749 kW. The battery pack is 600 kWh while the two electric motors each has 150kW. The battery pack has a life expectancy of 15 years, and depending on the technical development up to the time of replacement, the Vision of the Fjords could possibly be converted into a purely electric ferry at the time. SATISFACTION The Fjords are more than satisfied with the Vision of the Fjords, which was put into operation in late June. The plan is that the new ferry will complete 700 trips per year. If the operation is as successful as the ship, Vision of the Fjords may get sister ships. - It is too early to say yet. But we have defiantly thought about it, says CEO of The Fjords Rold Sandvik with a big smile.

SMM PREPARES FOR ANOTHER EXHIBITION Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH is starting to look for SMM’s trademark, the large propeller in front of the main entrance. In about five weeks, on Tuesday September 6th to be precise, it all begins. Over the course of four days, the exhibition halls will be filled with visitors and staff of more than 2.100 maritime companies exhibiting at the fair. - It is going to be the most international edition of the fair so far, says Bernd Aufderheide, CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. - Only a third of the exhibitors are from Germany this year, while two thirds come from abroad, which is a new record. says Bernd Aufderheide and explains that there are maritime companies from more than 60 countries exhibiting at the fair. The fair’s main theme is Digitalisation, while Green Propulsion and Maritime Security will be other important themes at the exhibition, covering an area of 90,000 m2. The new hall A5, which has an area of 3,500 square meters, is dedicated to the theme of green energy.

Denmark will, in line with the previous fairs, be represented by both a large national pavilion, and a number of companies that have chosen to exhibit in industrial contexts they are part of. In addition to Denmark, Argentina, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Finland, France, Greece, Holland, India, Iran, Japan, China, Korea, Croatia, Malaysia, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Singapore, Spain, Britain, Turkey, USA and Austria decided to have national stands at the fair. CONFERENCES In addition to the many exhibiting companies, SMM is once again accompanied by an extensive

conference and meeting program that counts six major conferences and more than 150 meetings, workshops, symposia’s, etc.. The day before the fair’s official start, Monday September 5th, there will The Maritime Future Summit 2016 - which will focus on the upcoming digital revolution within the industry. Cyber Ships have long been a hot topic of conversation in the industry. Digitalisation means that many ships can cope with Low-crew, and maybe Nocrew is even closer than you think. It is no longer the technical issues that set the limits, more so the laws and agreements that apply to the sea. - In economically challenging times like these, innovative technologies play a vital role in strengthening the industry, says Knut ØrbeckNielsen, CEO of DNV GL Maritime and Keynote speaker at The Maritime Future Summit 2016. MAERSK MARITIME TECHNOLOGY CEO of Maersk Maritime Technology Paolo Tonon, is another keynote speaker. Under the headline: What will ships of the future look like, Tonon portrays Maersk’s idea of future container ships. Paolo Tonon has no less than 140 marine engineers who are working to improve the exist-

ing fleet - and develop the ships the company will operate in the future. If you wish to participate in the conference, it costs 350 euros. CLARKSON RESEARCH SERVICES As a prelude to SMM 2016, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH had an information meeting in June, where the highly respected British shipping expert Martin Stopford, Non-Executive President of Clarkson Research Services, gave his view on future challenges. The picture was not surprising, quite gloomy, though it had its bright spots. On the gloomier side the shipbuilding industry, despite a reduction in capacity of more than 20 percent, and the closure of over 500 shipyards, in the coming years still will deliver more ships than is needed. The reason for this is a very low demand growth, especially due to low growth in China who have now completed many of the major planned infra-structure projects that have supported economic growth. - The markets will be better again, Stopford promised, but how much and when depends entirely on elemental developments in supply and demand, said Martin Stopford.

The industry’s response to the prolonged crisis, according to Stopford will be increased focus on information technology that will make it possible for companies to optimize operations further. BIMCO The subsequent speaker, Danish Lars Robert Petersen, Deputy Secretary General of BIMCO, did not disagree with Stopford’s considerations, but also pointed out that the increased use of information technology also increases the risk of cybercrime. There would be a chance of unauthorized people breaking into ships and shipping companies’ computer systems, to steal money or perhaps also to deliberately destroy the basis for company operations, and thus world trade. HISTORY SMM can trace its history back to 1963 when Vereinigung which Schiffs Ingenieure zu Hamburg was behind the exhibition Schiff und Maschine. At the first exhibition that took place in Hall B, it was exclusively 35 German exhibitors. The exhibition was a great success, and when it was repeated three years later, the number of exhibitors had grown to 76. Thereafter, the development has only gone one way: More and more exhibitors and more and more visitors. The 2016 fair is expected once again to outdo themselves.

roject Manager Michael Lassen, Desmi A/S says about the company’s program: - We participate in SMM, as we have done for many years in a row, because it is the place where the maritime businessmen, companies and suppliers meet. It is the largest fair in Europe. - This year we will present our new ballast water system called RayClean. Solutions to ballast water issues are quite popular now because we are facing the new regulations for ship owners, he says.

- In addition, energy savings is something we are focusing on this year. We are presenting a system where you can optimize energy pumps on board the ships. It’s called an OptiSave system, he says, adding: - The fact is that a ballast water system uses energy on a ship. Often the ship is not designed to handle the extra consumption on board, but you can actually combine a ballast water system with our energy system onboard, so that the installation is at least energy neutral and may even provide more savings than energy costs, says Michael Lassen. He builds his experiences

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDENMARK.DK

in Desmi Ocean Guard’s dialogue with various shipping companies. - We collect the companies various experience when we talk to them about retrofitting systems on existing ships. So, it turns out that there is often a problem of energy balance on the vessel. - Now it is not because our ballast water system uses very much energy, but a little bit here and a bit there actually means that they will have problems. - We have good examples of solving this, and at the fair, we will tell people how we do both.

How we can install a ballast water system and an energy saving system on the pumps on board. FACT FINDING Desmi Ocean Guard have seen, that shipping companies have been out in a fact finding mission to find out what the new ballast water regulations, which today is close to the necessary ratification of IMO countries prior to the introduction, will mean for them. - They especially look at what it will mean in terms of costs. And we’ve been busy being out and talking to the owners and being aboard their ships to understand how the systems could be installed and what the prices for installation and equipment would be, says Michael Lassen. - But now we are so close, that the shipping companies are beginning to place orders on ballast water systems. It’s something they have to do, despite the fact that it is a great expense to them. There is nothing called a return of investment calculation in such an installation. It’s something they are forced to do.

- Now we are at a point where the introduction of the new regulations is so close, it can be a problem keeping up with demand. There is however a year’s transitional period – and then the installation have to follow the docking intervals.

That is when we believe that the market prices will rise slightly, says Michael Lassen and adds: - In this situation it may be a good idea for companies to make some contracts now. Scrubbers

Michael Lassen estimates that there are companies who have already set their sights on some suppliers: - The market has many suppliers, but not everyone can deliver yet. So, customers choose among individual suppliers, while they also look at who has previously supplied and has operating data.

- In addition, we are also presenting some equipment that fit the scrubber systems that will reduce sulfur emissions from ships, he says.

Since Desmi was created in 2009 it has developed and has delivered. Desmi has ballast water equipment onboard 30-40 ships, so there is a lot to tell at SMM. - We hope that we can be competitive when we get down there. But since there has not yet been any final ratification, there will be lower offers. But let’s see what happens when it is a must that the equipment shall be installed.

- Although we don’t supply the actual scrubbers, we supply the pumps for the systems. The pumps are stainless steel that can handle the chemical based systems that are designed to prevent corrosion damage. This requires pumps that can withstand the media being pumped. - There we saw a pump with the SMM to show what we can in this area. - This means that we are bringing the most relevant topics to the table: Ballast water systems, energy conservation and scrubber systems. And we want to present all this at the fair, says Michael Lassen.

General Electric appointing DT-Interlink as Channel Partner

VESTERGAARD GROUP AT SMM:

READY WITH A RANGE OF BY FINN BRUUN Vestergaard Group is active at SMM in Hamburg in a variety of fields, which include both project assignments within engineering, environment-friendly diesel engines and a new concept for spare parts.

estergaard Marine Service in Frederikshavn have just released their new product Recon Spare Parts. - Our focus on SMM will be promotional work for Recon Ppare Parts, says Lene Understed Jacobsen HR & Marketing Coordinator in Vestergaard Marine Service. - As the situation is now in the maritime market, where there is great focus on price while many ships are being laid up, it makes perfect sense to use Recon Spare Parts, she says. - We buy both used engines and extra motors, which are left over from different projects.

Then we take the motors apart and replace the usual wear parts according to VMS standard. This ensures that they are 100 percent in order, before being offered for sale, either as direct sales or as exchange parts, said Lene Understed Jacobsen adding: - By direct use of Recon parts, it is possible to implement the service in complete safety, but with a considerable saving on replacement costs. With exchange parts, the main components are completed and are Recon spare parts that can be used directly for an overhaul. It is as simple as just swapping them just out with the customers used parts. The customer then returns the replaced parts to VMS and they are overhauled in the workshop.

NEW INITIATIVES - It is an advantage that an overhaul can be carried out cheaper and can be done in substantially less time. In addition, you do not need a workshop and nearly as many tools at individual locations, she says and stresses that VMS services every rotation part on ships, from propellers, gears, clutch, engine, and turbocharger to the smallest pumps. POCKET SHIPYARD Vestergaard is also betting on engineering at SMM: - VMS technology’s side focuses on project tasks where we travel onboard with total solutions to repair or rebuilding. This includes everything from engineering to installation onboard and in all professions, says Bjorn Strandos who call the solution “Shipyard in a box”.

NEW MOTOR AGENCY In the part of Vestergaard Group called DTInterlink, they deal with import and export of marine diesel engines and look forward to presenting their new agency at SMM: - The DT-Interlink will focus on our new agency, says Director Kim Rasmussen and highlights the new Scandinavian agency in an environmentally friendly marine diesel engine. - It is the General Electric Marine that are behind the newly developed engine, which meet the requirements for reduced emissions of exhaust gases in the EPA Tier 4 and IMO III regulations, from the Environmental Protection Agency and the IMO.

With the agreement, General Electric has designated DT-Interlink as the Scandinavian distributor and exclusive trader. - The essence of the newly developed engine type is that the environmentally friendly technology in the form of a so-called Selective Catalytic Reduction system is integrated in the engine itself, so there is no need for an after-treatment to reduce emissions, according to DT-Interlink. The engine lines is available in two types, the L250 and the V250 series and have a broad appeal to operators in the maritime market, whether it is for retrofitting existing vessels or new builds.

shipping. In addition, many offshore companies are stressed by the low oil price and are aiming to gain a foothold in the wind energy industry.

- 60 exhibitors have chosen to keep their stands, as they are participating in both fairs, says Bernd Aufderheide on the overlap between the two sectors.

1.200 EXHIBITORS 1.200 exhibitors have announced their arrival to the fair that includes nine exhibition halls with a total area of 65.000 square meters. This is significantly less than SMM but still the largest in the wind energy industry.

Offshore wind turbines, which accounts for the largest area of growth within the wind industry, cannot be installed without the use of ships. Therefore, there is a natural bridge between wind energy and

solve some of the most important challenges facing the world today - the struggle against climate change, reducing CO2 emissions and transforming the world’s energy production onto a sustainable direction, says Bernd Aufderheide. WindEnergy Hamburg is backed by the industry’s key players, several of whom are Danish or originally were - Siemens Wind Power, Vestas, Nordex, Enercon, Gameas, GE and Senvion. NATIONAL PAVILIONS Like the SMM, there will also be a number of national pavilions from Denmark, Turkey, China,

In addition to national pavilions, there are also a large number of individual stands. Chinese Envision is present with the largest independent stand at the fair. Another similarity between SMM and WindEnergy Hamburg will be a parallel conference activity - Wind Europe, taking place in the Congress Center Hamburg, close to the exhibition halls. WindEnergy Hamburg takes place one year after the fair Husum Wind 2015, and one year before the next, which takes place from September 12 to 15, 2017. The difference between the two fairs is that Husum Wind focus on the German speaking market, while WindEnergy Hamburg is a trade fair for the entire international industry. Husum Wind is co-organizer of WindEnergy Hamburg.

ENTIRE INDUSTRY VALUE CHAIN According to the organizers of WindEnergy Hamburg, one of its greatest strengthens is that the entire industry value chain are present at the fair. The list of exhibitors counts all the leading turbine manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, service providers, project industry and energy companies - as well as niche companies from all parts of the industry. Both offshore and onshore companies will of course be present at the fair. The offshore sector is generally set in three halls, which in turn are divided into smaller areas such as planning, installation and operation, logistics and so on. In addition to onshore / offshore halls, the fair is also divided into thematic areas such as Smart Energy, electronic components, security, finance and insurance. - WindEnergy Hamburg is the ideal platform for The Wind Energy Industry, says CEO of Hamburg Messe und Con Gress GmbH Bernd Aufderheide. - The fair makes it possible to show off new products and make important deals. At the

same time, it is possible to find new inspiration, both at the fair and in Germany, who is widely recognized as a manufacturer of technologically leading products, says the CEO. HISTORY The first edition of the fair, which took place in 2014, included 1.300 exhibitors, a figure that surpassed the 1.200 exhibitors that has announced their participation in this year’s edition. When asked about the declining number of exhibitors in the run-up conference in Hamburg at the beginning of June, Bernd Aufderheide said: - Let’s see. There is still some time left before the fair opens its doors, so the figure can still change. But of course it’s also fair to remember that the economic times are not the best right now, and that has an influence on demand. So - let’s see. We believe that no matter what, it will be one hell of a show, said Bernd Aufderheide with a confident smile. WindEnergy Hamburg 2016 covers the exhibition halls A1, A4 and B1 - B7. In 2014, the fair drew 33.000 visitors. There are no published expected numbers of visitors for the fair in 2016.

TUGBOAT COMPANY WITH BIG AMBITIONS There is no shortage of international recognition when speaking of the German family shipping company Bugsier GmbH & Co. KG in Hamburg. Over the years and since January 6, 1866 it has made a difference. An example is the cleaning of the Suez Canal after the wars between Israel and Egypt from 1967 to 1975. Today, the main activity of the 29 different sized tug boats and a floating crane unit is mainly in northern European waters like the North Sea, the Irish Sea and Baltic Sea

he focus is mainly on tugging in the port of Hamburg and Bremen. Furthermore, there are offshore activities which are one of the company’s specialties. With powerful tugboats in charter for energy companies, etc. in the North Sea, in connection with the establishment of large offshore wind farms or oil and gas rigs. Here, the Hamburg shipping company works with Shell, ConocoPhillips, Maersk Oil & Gas and Norwegian Statoil. - During the winter, there is not much to do offshore, in turn, it is rush hour in the ports where the big ships arrive in a steady stream or depart with goods of one sort or another, explains Bugsiers development manager Sven Schröder. - By spring the volume of ships in the ports decrease again. If we were to lie on the North Sea, we might be in the doldrums for much of

the time due to the weather. Now we can use the fleet in the most optimal way, says Sven Schröder. - It is expensive to operate a fleet like ours. Therefore, ships should work 24-7. One tugboat typically costs between 7 and 9 million Euro. KNOWN IN DENMARK In Denmark, Bugsiers ships are a familiar sight, especially in port cities such as Denmark’s largest offshore port of Esbjerg, Aalborg and Lindø. They have disposed of barges/pontoons loaded with foundations and plinths for Vattenfall and Stadtwerke München wind farm Sandbank, located around 90 km west of Esbjerg or converter stations, etc. from the German city of Rostock. The wind farm SandBank started in spring last year immediately after the inauguration of

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDENMARK.DK

Danish German, which is located 20 kilometers farther towards the Jutland west coast. Both farms are owned by a partnership between the Swedish energy group Vattenfall and Stadtwerke München SWM. The price for the two farms combined is somewhere around 3 billion euro or about 22 billion kroner. There will be 72 turbines in SandBank, which will have a slightly bigger production than Danish German. The turbines will be equipped with Siemens 4-Megawatt turbines, which from 2017 will supply power to 800.000 German households. SPECIAL PROJECTS Apart from the towing tasks offshore, Esbjerg is the base is in most cases. Germany is also one of the few countries within the EU, where a private operator is responsible for the coast

guard and maritime rescue. After an offering round, the German Government put the task and development of specialized vessels in the hands of Bugsier GmbH & Co. KG. In 2010, in order to carry out the work, Bugsier built the M/S Baltic. Each of the ship’s two diesel engines provides 8,498 KW for twin screws, the bollard pull is 127 tons. The cruising speed is 17 knots and the Baltic is ice-strengthened. The ship is 61.3 m long and 15 m wide. The ship is stationed off the coast of Warnemünde. The crew is 8 man 24 hours a day year round. On the other side of the Baltic Sea in the 20 nautical miles off the Frisian island of Norderney in the state of Lower Saxony is the larger of the two emergency towers, (Emergency Towing Vessel - ETV ed.), M/S Nordic. It entered into service in January 2011 and is built at P + S Werften GmbH in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on the Baltic Sea. The ship is 78 m. long and 16.5 m. wide. The momentum is provided by 2 diesel engines, each with 8.600 KW. The top speed is 19.9 knots - even in harsh weather and a significant wave height of 5 meters. The crew is 12 people 24-7. The bollard pull on Nordic is 207 tons. It was tested in Flekkefjord in Norway just before delivery from the shipyard to Bugsier. Nordic is stationed in Cuxhaven. With its location off the island of Norderney, the ship can reach a wrecked ship within approximately 2 hours in the German Bight. It has been in action

several times as one of the pictures in this article illustrates. NEW TUGBOAT FROM DAMEN The newest of tugboats in the company Bugsier, is based on the experience of port operations in the Port of Hamburg and Bremerhaven. In collaboration with the Dutch company Damen, they have developed a compact port tug fitted with a Voit Schneider propeller. The ship came into operation early this year and because of the maneuverability and compactness can be placed anywhere in the port area. The boat can turn around its own axis, like it was on a plate and has great power. Bugsiers many tugboats are for the most part equipped Voith Schneider propellers, ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive, red.) or ATR, (Azimuth Tractor Drive, red.). Three of the boats are the so called Rotor Tugs with a power of 87 tons. The ASD tow are typically used in pushing tasks, towing of barges etc. The ATR is all about great power and maneuverability. Both systems can also be used in combination. CRANE SHIP IN THE IRISH SEA In addition to tug boats, Bugsier operates a crane vessel “Enak” with a lifting capacity of 600 tons. The crane ship was built in 1967 and in 1993 had a major modification and renovation. The ship, which is 55 meters long, is driven by 3 Schottel Propellers. In addition, the company has 4 different seagoing pontoons to transport heavy cargo such as mono piles for the wind farms in the North Sea.

All this comes from the Bugsier company’s innovative development manager. The 36-yearold Sven Schröder’s is the great-grandson of the company’s founder. He took his degree in business at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, and has since had a job at Ultratug and Smit International, where he, amongst other things, improved the environmental impacts offshore in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. Before that, Sven Schröder had a 5-year trainee period and subsequent employment in the sales and marketing department in Hamburg Süd. BACK HOME Around 2010, Sven Schröder was brought back to the shipping company in Hamburg to continue the development work in Bugsier. The innovative development manager certainly has not remained idle since. On the contrary, he has just presented a model for how the company can help reduce costs further by establishing offshore wind farms. The coalition government in Berlin, consisting of the Christian Democratic Union CDU, the Christian Social Union, CSU and the Social Democrats SPD in Berlin, has demanded that the establishment costs of offshore wind turbines should be reduced by 40 percent by 2020 otherwise no government grants. The head of development believes that it can be reduced even further by looking at the logistics. In the article in Maritime Denmark, Sven Schröder explains the possibilities, which will give food for thought.

he price of the large wind farms in the North Sea and especially in the German Bight is so massive, that the power transmitted in the country threatens to ruin the consumer economy. This was never the intention, said Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel, when he inaugurated the wind farm Danish German west of Esbjerg last year. The Minister made it clear, not only for the developer of Danish German offshore wind farm - Swedish Vattenfall and Stadtwerke München, but just as much to others with similar construction plans. The government is done writing checks as subsidies just because they have decided that the German energy consumption will come from green energy after the nuclear accident in Japan on 11 March 2011.

LEAN LOGISTICS The solution to installing costs is perhaps the logistics in the form of a well-established feeder service for installation ships out on the fields. It is called Lean logistics and has been used on large and complex construction projects such as the Great Belt Bridge, the giant department store Fields in Amager or now at the super hospitals and on the waterfront in Aarhus and Copenhagen Metro and more. Lean is about organizing things in an orderly fashion so that each thing in its place at the right time, so there are no gaps in the large construction to increase the cost of the project. Two years ago, Maritime Denmark was presented with the first pilot project in Cuxhaven. It was carried out by German offshore winds pioneer, captain and ship owner, Andreas Wulf, tugboat

DAILY NEWS ON WWW.MARITIMEDENMARK.DK

company Otto Wulf GmbH & Co. KG in Cuxhaven. By sealing 70-meter mono piles at both ends and thus made them seaworthy – the piles weigh 900 tons each - one of Wulfs tugs boats pulled the posts and towers to the offshore installation ships at the wind farms in the German Bight. The results were positive! It was then decided that the 39 mono piles to be set on the wind farm Baltic II of Rügen, should follow the same procedure from the base port of Sassnitz. SUCCESSFUL TESTS By allowing the installation vessel to stay at the fields instead of them picking up the plies or towers on their own, a lot of time was saved. The feeder concept meant that the installation ship had time to install three piles per day offshore before the next shipment from Sassnitz was ready.

Had installation vessel itself had to retrieve monopiles in Sassnitz, the transport rotation would have taken at least 5 hours. Not counting the time it takes loading the ship. These successful tests, both in the German Bight and not least by Rügen in the Baltic Sea, made development manager at Bugsier, Sven Schröder, along with Finnish Wärtsilä German department and others “brainstorm”. The logistics for offshore wind farms could be solved in a smarter way. A charter of an installation ship costs an average of 200,000 euros a day. Therefore, these ships are a huge expense in the installation phase. The solution is immediate, says Sven Schröder to Maritime Denmark. LACK OF EFFICIENCY The proposals have been many, including the development of a barge-type with a Jack-Up System to be dragged to the installation vessels and be jacked up to working height, where the crane on the installation vessel would be able to supply themselves with mono piles, towers, gearboxes and blades. In this way, installation ship could work regardless of weather conditions in water depths up to 50 meters. The idea sounds thoughtful and interesting, but would not have helped to reduce costs, which is of course the primary objective. On the contrary, the proposal would double the construction cost offshore. To build a barge with a Jack-Up System would also require a large number of employees on board to operate it and it would not have the required efficiency. TUGBOATS Sven Schröder and his team of specialists in Bugsier Offshore and Wärtsilä now believe to have found the solution using the towing technique. The technique is well known from, for example. Vattenfall and DONG transport of coal from Enstedværket in Aabenraa in Southern Jutland to various Danish power plants. Here, they connect either tug boat Joulius or Calorius on the stern of a barge, which can then be pushed

to the destination, either Fynsværket in Odense Fjord or after a new supply of coal in Poland. Bugsiers and Wärtsilä’s proposal is to build a completely new and innovative Jack-Up installation ship J-LASH (Jackable Lighter Aboard Ship, ed.), With all the facilities know from existing ships except that the working deck is now a ship dock. JUST IN TIME The purpose of the new installation vessel is to place it at the wind park under construction. With the likewise purpose-built barges to fit the docks internal dimensions, the installation vessel pulls the barge into position. The tugboat is then reversed and connected to the barge and backed into the dock stern first, which is adapted the dock edges. The tugboat clears the barge. Then, everything is lifted to working height and the installation vessel can continue the work of putting up the turbines. The turbines are completed and ready from the port and transported by barge as items just in time, Sven Schröder explains. After delivery of the barge and elements, the tugboat continues to the next loaded barge, etc .. According to the calculations, not only will this save storage space in the base port

because the technique is an ongoing process, but will also save staff and time. This is despite the fact that towing the barge takes significantly longer to / from the J-LASH vessel than the time a traditional installation ship uses. The speed is usually around 12 knots. GREAT FLEXIBILITY Nowadays, the whole process begins with the installation vessel loading - typically in Esbjerg sailing to the wind farm and installing turbines, then returning to port for the next load. This is costly, especially in terms of personnel due to the idling between the picking up and bringing turbines to the wind farm. - The use of the barge system will in addition to the previously argued savings also mean greater flexibility, Sven Schröder explains. We are no longer dependent on deep water in the ports. This means that the logistics can be adapted to the land-based infrastructure in order to minimize crossing time from A to B with the barges and tug to the J-LASH ship’s position. This also creates the possibility of ports which so far have not been considered as suitable base for offshore wind turbines due to low water depth, to be considered because of a better land based infrastructure

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT An army marches on its stomach… To be sure, the cook is one of the most important people on board the vessel. And Filipino Norfel Trinidad takes his job as a cook with Norden very seriously.

is favourite literature is cookbooks, he participates in courses, he is always working hard, he makes sure that the messroom as well as the vessel’s refrigerated and cold stores are clean. And what is more, he does not just make whatever meal comes to mind. He asks the other crew members what they would like to eat and then tries to make a meal that would be to the taste of the majority of the crew on board. To him it is not just a matter of always heating up the popular – but also high-calorie – deep fryer. The food should also contribute to a physically healthy life on board the vessels, where you are usually easily tempted to resort to the easy calories in all sorts of wrappings. - As a ship’s cook, you must remember that food is a sensitive subject on board. You cannot satisfy every single crew member every time he or she sits down at the table, but you can be open to

the suggestions that everyone makes, says Norfel Trinidad, who most recently embarked the almost new built product tanker Nord Geranium. QUALITY He pays a lot of attention to checking the quality of the vessel’s stock of provisions on a continuous basis, ensuring that the meals to be served on the dishes in the vessel’s 2 messrooms a couple of hours later are of a quality that measures up to Norden’s standards. And they do not just focus on serving food that is delicious and healthy. The food must also be safe to eat, as there is no time for the crew to be dropping like flies when you are on board a ship where every single hand is necessary to operate the vessel. That aside, it is no fun being ill when the nearest medical assistance is hundreds or thousands of nautical miles away. There is a very simple explanation to Norfel Trinidad’s decision to become a ship’s cook.

PEOPLE ON BOARD - I find cooking to be a very exciting job, especially when I see that the crew members like the food I have prepared for them, he says.

THE MONKEY

ISLAND The deck located above the navigation bridge houses some of the ship’s most important equipment – for example, the aerials, the radar mast and the magnetic compass.

echnically, the deck is called either E deck or F deck - depending on the height of the ship’s accommodation facilities or superstructure, that is, the tall white structure to the aft of the ship, which houses the galley, mess rooms, offices, cabins, laundry, fitness room and, not least, the ship’s navigation bridge at the very top. E deck or F deck comprises the flat roof of the navigation bridge and thus the top of the accommodation facilities. This deck is also termed the monkey island. - The monkey island is an important place on the ship, because this is where we find the equipment that enables the ship to communicate with the rest of the world. The ship’s aerials are installed on the monkey island, and without communication with the wider world - which also depends on an orbiting satellite or two - our ships would be in trouble, says Alex Hjortnæs, Senior Newbuilding Manager, Norden.

THE BLACK BOX The monkey island is also home to the ship’s radar mast and is where the ship’s black box is installed. Serving the same function as an aeroplane’s black box, it registers a range of technical data that provide all the information on the ship’s operation from the navigation bridge and engine room. Above all, it contains data vital in the work of authorities investigating the cause of an accident. - Every ship is equipped with an emergency transmitter that can pinpoint a ship’s position if it sinks. The transmitter is called an EPIRB, which stands for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, and is also installed in the monkey island, explains Alex Hjortnæs.

OMT MERMAID DESIGN FOR CMA CGM CMA CGM has ordered four 3,300 TEU containerships at Cosco Zhoshan Shipyard. The design is based on OMT Mermaid design platform, which is a high intake, shallow draught design with best-in-class fuel efficiency.

THE MAGNETIC COMPASS Last, but not least, the monkey island houses the ship’s magnetic compass, which, in order to correctly indicate the ship’s bearing, has to be located as far away as possible from any steel structures that might affect the magnetic needle. For the same reason, the compass is often mounted on a small stainless steel base, which is not magnetic. A gyrocompass is used on the navigation bridge, but the magnetic compass serves as an important back-up if it breaks down. If the gyrocompass fails in the mid-Atlantic, the ship will continue sailing on course with the help of the magnetic compass. However, a ship must never leave port without fully functional instruments – which goes for both the gyrocompass and the magnetic compass.

WHY MONKEY ISLAND? So why is the upper accommodation deck known as the monkey island? There is no official explanation, but an unofficial, rather obvious, theory is the many masts on the monkey island that the ship’s crew often have to scramble up – just as monkeys might have done, had any been nearby.

The monkey island is an important place on the ship, because this is where we find the equipment that enables the ship to communicate with the rest of the world.

he containership design has been tailor-made the special requirements of CMA CGM in terms of capacity and speed.

The new order for the Mermaid 3,300 design is an important milestone in OMT’s business strategy for becoming a leading designer of containerships to China’s maritime industry. The Mermaid containership design portfolio covers various innovate and highly effective design in the range between 1,500 TEU and 4,000 TEU. All designs have a highly optimised and effective hull form, with excellent energy performance and high container intake. LINDØ OMT is a leading maritime consultancy building on the heritage of design and shipbuilding experience from the former Odense Steel Shipyard founded by A. P. Moller in Odense in 1917. OMT employs 150 naval architects and marine engineers and is one of the largest independent ship design entities in Europe.

ESBEN POULSSON ELECTED ICS CHAIRMAN The President of the Singapore Shipping Association, the Dane Esben Poulsson, has been elected as the new Chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping - ICS. He takes over from Masamichi Morooka, who has stood down after four years in office.

- I take this new responsibility very seriously, and at the top of my agenda will be a determination to ensure that the ICS continues to represent the view of the entire shipping industry. ICS has put in a lot of effort to give due recognition to our industry’s achievements and its critical contribution to the sustainable development of the world economy – and that is something I will continue to actively articulate, says Esben Poulsson. Poulsson identifies two main challenges that he will focus on: - The first is working with IMO Member States to make further progress addressing international shipping’s CO2 emissions, including our proposal that IMO should develop an ‘Intended IMO Determined Contribution’ for reducing the sector’s CO2, similar to the commitments already made by governments as part of the COP21 Paris Agreement. - But even more pressing, from an industry perspective, is making sure we are ready for the almost certain entry in force of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention, and engaging with governments, especially the United States, to overcome some remaining

but really serious implementation problems, Esben Poulsson says. Poulsson has worked in the maritime industry for over 40 years. He spent 20 years with Torm in a variety of senior management positions in Hong Kong, London, Copenhagen and, most recently, as President & CEO of Torm Singapore Pte. Ltd before stepping down in December, 2009. Esben Poulsson is now Chairman of Enesel PTE. LTD., a Singapore based commercial management and ship owning entity, managing 14 large modern container vessels all under the Singapore Flag. Poulsson was elected President of the Singapore Shipping Association in June 2015, of which he has been a Council Member since 2007. Prior to his election as Chairman of the London based International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) he held the position of Vice Chairman, on whose Board he represented Singapore. Poulsson Singapore will remain as President of the Singapore Shipping Association at least until the end of his current term in June 2017.
