Hailed as an industry sector capable of delivering much-needed jobs to the South African economy, the ship repair and marine engineering sector has in reality shed hundreds of jobs and seen the demise of one of the country’s largest ship repair companies during the five years since the launch of Operation Phakisa – an initiative that was developed to focus on identifying and solving challenges in a number of maritime sectors including this one.

GENDER DIVERSITY

Women are making great strides in the traditionally male dominated sub-sectors of ship building, ship repair and marine engineering. Where it was once unlikely to encounter a woman on the shop floor, now they are making a name for themselves and demanding respect thanks to the efforts of individuals as well as a number of companies that are proving that they are serious about strengthening gender diversity in the fields of marine engineering.

ON THE RADAR

The concept of a project to recapitalise the South African fishing fleet took root at the intensive deliberations that kickstarted Operation Phakisa in mid-2014, but has struggled to gain traction until this year when the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) placed an advert in local newspapers during June inviting interested boat builders to become involved in developing prototypes.

The boat building sector is on the radar, but can it live up to the government’s aspirations of job creation and economic development?

COMMENT

EXPRESSIONS

The Scarabeo 7 at A Berth in the Port of Cape Town undergoing refit and refurbishment.

With a focus on the marine engineering, ship and boat building sectors this issue necessarily takes a closer look at the interventions associated with Operation Phakisa. Operation Phakisa represented South Africa’s intention to transform and expand the country’s ocean economy by applying strategic and goal-directed solutions to identified problems. The perception created when the programme was launched was that the aggressive timelines highlighted the government’s understanding of the need to swap talk with action.

ow five years since the official launch, Operation Phakisa has not really delivered the “big, fast, results,” associated with the methodology that was adopted from Malaysia. Perhaps of particular concern are the goals outlined for the refurbishment and maintenance of the ship repair facilities across the South African ports. That these even needed to be included in the line-up of interventions required is telling. It tells a story of an historic stand-off between the ship repair sector and Transnet National Ports Authority. That has essentially seen the former begging the latter to undertake a proactive management plan for the state-owned-enterprise’s drydocks, slipways and other repair facilities. The inclusion of maintenance of these repair facilities on the line-up in 2014 can only be described as low hanging fruit for Operation Phakisa. With this in mind, many let go of their long established cynicism and looked forward to a new era of engagement as well as to seeing the much needed attention given to facilities. The original timelines have come and gone for many of the identified interventions and the cynicism has crept back. Recent press releases from TNPA highlight gains that should have been ticked off the to-do list many years ago, whilst trying to emphasise the Authority’s commitment to Operation Phakisa.

Maritime Review Africa JULY / AUGUST 2019

Honestly, it has been quite an interesting process of consulting the original Phakisa documents and crosschecking them against press releases and presentations that have been issued since then. They paint a rather sobering picture of promises, backtracking and more promises over the last five years. TNPA has created a well-oiled machine that generates good news on a consistent basis with very little reference to previous commitments or shifting timelines. But, if you take the time to combine and consult these statements, a different reality emerges. Take a look at our story on page 8 of this issue that attempts to highlight some of the lost opportunities to deliver on Initiative 5 of Operation Phakisa for more information. And as Brian Ingpen, an independent stalwart maritime commentator, points out: if Egypt can conceive and deliver the new Suez Canal in just one year - how is it possible that we are still twiddling our thumbs simply implementing obviously-needed maintenance projects? Despite struggles, however, the sector has handled and is capable of handling major refits, fabrication, surveys and repair work. Companies have invested in skills development and artisan training. And they continue to promote the country as a destination to an international market. Colleen Jacka, editor | editor@maritimesa.co.za

“The magnitude of the project goes beyond the key deliverables. It embeds the technical knowledge for the country to be a maritime player within the international markets.

“Operation Phakisa Initiatives in the Port of Durban tend to lag reality. The original initiative was to repair what was dysfunctional and propose purpose-built new infrastructure, but unfortunately, management rotation, throughput, and Transnet budget approvals have delayed many of the bright ideas and initiatives.” Says an industry source from KwaZulu Natal.

The various government departments, companies and organisations that have taken gender diversity issues within the maritime industry sectors on board. We applaud the steps being taken in terms of the International Maritime Organisation’s theme for 2019 - as well as the local initiatives that have taken up the challenge. It is particularly pleasing to see the establishment of a number of women’s associations on the continent that are addressing this issue.

ccording to Project Manager, Karl Wiesner, the building process is currently on schedule at the company’s facilities in Durban and the project has provided the shipyard with the opportunity to help boost local capacity within the sector. SAS has a longstanding relationship with the Navy that dates back to the 1970s when the yard was upgraded to undertake an extensive naval building programme that included the delivery of six strikecraft, two minehunters as well as the construction of the 147m SAS Drakensberg.

More recently they have undertaken the successful midlife refit of the SAS Amatola (2014/15) as well as extensive work on the naval strikecraft that included repairs and testing of mechanical, electrical and construction equipment aimed at extending their operational lives. In addition, in 2012, the yard completed the double engine

Today, however, the yard is intent on successfully delivering on the contract to build the state-of-the-art hydrographic survey vessel, which is reportedly the most technically advanced vessel to have been built in South Africa. This comes on the back of the completion of the contract to build a series of tugs for Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA), the largest contract to be awarded to any single company by TNPA. The navy project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2021 and handed over to the navy in 2022, was officially launched last year at a prestigious steel cutting ceremony. The first piece of steel was shaped into one of the many brackets needed for the new vessel, which is due to replace the almost

50-year-old SAS Protea. The ceremony marked a “new dawn” in defence industrial development, the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Mosiviwe-Noluthando Mapiso-Nqakula, told guests at the time. She noted that it showcased the ocean economy in action as well as the advancement of black industrialists and the creation of skilled jobs. Production will take some three years and will mean work for more than 500 people, including apprentices, artisans, technicians, engineering interns and engineers in different disciplines. According to numbers released by SAS, the project will also create about 3,500 indirect jobs. CEO of SAS, Prasheen Maharaj notes that numerous procurement and subcontract opportunities will be created for SMMEs, BEE companies and military veteran-owned companies.

“Regulations aside, it is of benefit to South Africa to develop the local network through this project,” he says. In addition, with the country facing a critical shortage of technical skills as well as a rising unemployment rate, SAS responded to the challenge and has taken on boiler makers, fitters and electrician apprentices. While the company receives some outside funding for their apprenticeship initiative, it still costs SAS more than half a million rand over the four-year apprenticeship required to train a new generation in these skills. Maharaj says that the transformation of the industry and the creation of opportunities for the advancement of South Africans and especially black women remains a core strategy for the sustainable development and the success of the shipyard.

SAS has, however, partnered with international company Vard Marine to develop the 95-metre-long vessel, which will be built with the help of eight subcontractors who will integrate various systems into the ship. The vessel will feature a 12.24MW diesel electric power plant and have a maximum speed of 18 knots. It will boast a 10,000 nautical mile range with 44 days endurance, incorporate the latest hydrographic and oceanographic sensor suites and be manned by a total crew of 120, comprising the ships’ crew as well as scientists.

7,000m. Part of the preparations involved a six-month “tank test” in Holland to ensure that the ship will withstand the sea conditions in the Southern Ocean that it will be operating in. The tests were carried out by the Maritime Research Institute of the Nederlands, which built a sevenmetre-long wooden scale model of the vessel. This allowed the team simulate a number of conditions by subjecting the model to a series of tests in a 240-m long depressurized wave basin tank.

Ice-strengthened to Polar Class 7 requirements, the new hydrographic vessel will be tasked with mapping large areas of the entire southern hemisphere ocean floor, making the seas safe for navigation, exploration and fishing.

“The tests were successful. The design is superb,” said Greg Depaul, SAS’s general manager of shipbuilding, who was on hand during the six months of testing.

The ship will boast a multi-beam echo sounder to perform seabed mapping with high resolution and accuracy to a maximum depth of

With a priority to optimise the value of spend within the local economy, Wiesner says that they are focused on developing the local supply chain.

Investment in skills and capacity

He adds that it is of benefit to the country as a whole. “They will gain the institutional knowledge and experience of process needed for the shipbuilding industry. The significance of this project as a highly sophisticated and complex build is that it will provide us with the competencies to compete internationally,” he says. “The magnitude of the project goes beyond the key deliverables,” agrees Wiesner, “it embeds the technical knowledge for the country to be a maritime player within the international markets. Once we have achieved institutional creditability and the muscle to deliver, we will be able to leverage more opportunities on the international stage.” In addition to their own inhouse training, SAS will also undertake training for the navy to enable them to execute maintenance on the platform once the 18-month maintenance plan for the newbuild ends.

Gender diversity in marine engineering

Strengthening gender diversity in the marine engineering field Women are making great strides in the traditionally male dominated sub-sectors of ship building, ship repair and marine engineering. Where it was once unlikely to encounter a woman on the shop floor, now they are making a name for themselves and demanding respect thanks to the efforts of individuals as well as a number of companies that are proving that they are serious about strengthening gender diversity in the fields of marine engineering.

“I understood from a young age that expecting special treatment in the workplace because I am a woman certainly slows down progress through the ranks. It quickly became apparent that I had to work harder and longer hours to deliver in a shorter turn-around time than my male colleagues to ensure I got ahead of the game. And I did.”

t a recent business networking forum, professional members of the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association South Africa (WISTA South Africa) - who are women in management and leadership roles in the shipping, trading and maritime sectors shared the practical factors contributing to their success in a male dominated industry:

“I kept asking for a place at the table until eventually it was automatically mine, and I made sure I contributed meaningfully to discussions and debates by preparing well. I was happy to take on extra projects to support this.”

“I have worked with and for male and female counterparts who take the time and effort to teach, explain and create opportunities and platforms for me to use my knowledge. This support and partnership has been very important as my career has progressed.” “I acquired communication skills that were effective in raising issues of exclusion and discrimination in a constructive, professional manner. I also learnt skills on how to give (and receive) feedback.”

“I learnt to support the women working around me – rather than to compete with them. Unity truly is strength.” Studies show that when women are empowered to contribute positively to business productivity, companies are more profitable; employees are more engaged and strong brands are built. If women constitute the majority of the population, many industries may be missing out on the great pool of talent and skills that they offer. An international conversation

“I worked with Human Resources professionals in the business to drive regular reviews of recruitment, employment, remuneration, reward and leave policies, ensuring that they do not create barriers for a gender inclusive workplace. For example, I supported initiatives to ensure that at least one-woman candidate is interviewed for every open position and that interview panels also include women.”

You may be wondering why 2019 has seen an increase in debates and publicity about the role of women in the maritime sector. In line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls), ‘Empowering women in the maritime community’ was selected by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) as the 2019 theme for World Maritime Day.

“I had opportunities in the workplace to talk about my experience and the challenge of managing multiple roles in society as a mother, employee, daughter, partner, wife, care-giver and student. This was very valuable and built my resilience – as well as a more supportive environment.”

This initiative, together with the allocation of ‘Consultative Status’ by the IMO to several organisations representing the interests of women in the industry, including the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA), is supporting continued implementation of initiatives to increase the representation of women in the industry globally from just two percent.

“I humbled myself and I understood at an early stage that to become successful I needed to work hard. I also learnt that everyone – both male and female - started out by doing the unpopular chores and tasks and that when these was allocated to me, it was not discrimination.” “I explained to my male colleagues what it felt like to work in a male dominated environment, and I shared with them how an environment of sexist joke making, sexualized commentary and exclusion from “the old boys’ network” impacted my ability to contribute to my fullest potential.” “I stepped up, stood up, took on leadership roles where I could and consistently delivered excellent work.” FOR MORE INFORMATION ON JOINING WISTA South Africa wistasouthafrica@gmail.com

“I realised that celebrating women’s success in the work place is often played down and I deliberately supported and applauded my female colleagues.”

Maritime Review Africa JULY / AUGUST 2019

The challenge remains to replicate positive workplace practices, translate them into policies and implement programmes that optimise the strengths of all employees, ensuring an inclusive business environment where women thrive. Whilst the maritime industry has a long way to go to ensure equitable economic participation, the rise of female entrepreneurs wishing to gain access to the sector is an emerging and important trend. Critical to their success will be the willingness of established industry stakeholders to share information about the sector and create business networks that support meaningful transformation. And it is clear that common to the critical issue of successful inclusivity is the importance of an equal partnership between the multiplicity of genders in the workplace!

Maritime industry convenes dialogue to empower women

he Deputy Minister of Transport, Dikeledi Magadzi, hosted members of the maritime industry at a one-day event in Durban to discuss the empowerment of women in the maritime industry at the end of Women’s Month. The day was kickstarted by a breakfast hosted by Southern African Shipyards where a number of women are enrolled in their apprenticeship programme. Prominent national and regional women’s organisations such as Women in the Maritime Sector in Eastern and Southern Africa (WOMESA), Women in Maritime Africa (WIMA-Africa), South African Network for Women in Transport (SANWIT) and the Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association - South Africa (WISTA-SA) participated in the event to bring more visibility to issues that impact on women in the industry. The day’s programme culminated in a declaration on empowerment that included 15 undertakings that the industry hopes will make an impact on the development of gender diversity.

Declaration number four, for example emphasises the need to promote the provision of professional internships and apprenticeship programmes to ensure that women (especially young women) are able to connect learning to the world of work. Given the number of women organisations that are active across the sectors, it was refreshing to note that one of the aims is to foster collaboration across these platforms to establish even larger networking opportunities.

Landmark appointment in Port of Cape Town

ecently appointed Marine Technical Officer (MTO) for the Port of Cape Town, Jabulile Shandu, is the first woman to be appointed into this position and simultaneously holds the record as the longest serving female marine engineering officer - and is only the second marine engineer to ever be employed by the port. As MTO, she is responsible for providing technical advice to the marine engineering team to support the operation and maintenance of watercraft such as tugs and pilot boats; a role that is critical ahead of the port’s craft replacement strategy that will see it acquiring new workboats in the near future. Prior to her appointment as MTO, Shandu served as a marine engineering officer for over nine years. She graduated from Durban University of Technology with a marine engineering qualification before joining Unicorn Shipping as a cadet and sitting for her oral exam with SAMSA. “Being the port’s MTO comes with great responsibilities that require open line communication with different stakeholders, therefore good communication and respect go hand in hand,” she said. “It’s important to know that the job needs to be carried out effectively in order for operations to continue smoothly. Commenting on gender diversity and women empowerment, Cape Town Port Manager Mpumi Dweba-Kwetana said it was important that the gap between males and females in the workplace grew smaller. “It is assuring to see more women show an in interest in maritime and marine careers,” she said.

Individual companies, industry organisations and government departments are addressing the need to ramp up skills development within the marine manufacturing sectors. The skills gap has been a long-lamented issue for companies keen to benchmark themselves against international standards and attract international work. In fact, it is considered one of the top issues facing the South African marine manufacturing industry.

he recently released Maritime Roadmap prepared by the CSIR notes that “not only are there very few individuals with scarce skills in the maritime sector, these individuals are finding more lucrative employment overseas, and those who are still in the country are retired or close to retirement age”. The issue is equally raised by the Department of Transport’s (DOT), Comprehensive Maritime Transport Policy (CMTP), which aims to position itself as a compass for the forward navigation of the maritime sectors. “The current state of maritime and related sectors’ skills is a matter of concern. The shortage of naval architect knowledge and skill requires an urgent attention,” it states, adding that a targeted programme is required to develop and recruit essential critical skills. One of the outcomes of the CSIR’s roadmap highlights that subsidies should be made available to industries in the maritime sector to absorb, train and develop qualified people. The skills quandary was also addressed by Operation Phakisa in 2014 under a number of initiatives within the marine transport and manufacturing labs. One of these initiatives includes the desire to train 2,550 TVET College graduates on an 18-month workplace based experiential learner programme in scarce and critical trades over five years. Now five years down the line, according to the Operation Phakisa online dashboard, this has not been achieved. Similarly, the aim to train 18,172 learners as artisans, semi-skilled workers and professionals under Initiative 18 over the same time period has also not been achieved. A Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) research project undertaken with the South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI) identified the marine manufacturing sector – with particular focus on vessel repair and building – as a sector that faces significant skills challenges and set out to explore possible interventions. While the research was completed a few years ago, much of the content remains applicable today. The project selected the sector based on the need to address certain key skills gaps, particularly the development of a strong technical skills base and pipeline. This is critically needed to raise the competitiveness and growth of the sector and realise the significant potential employment and forex earnings spin-offs. The vessel repair industry is labour intensive with the potential to create substantial employment, and generates demand for a wide array of components and services resulting in strong linkages with the manufacturing and services sectors. The industry is also a potential important earner of foreign exchange. A key example of this is underscored by the 2012 Exporter of the Year Award that went to Dormac Engineering for revenue associated with man hours worked on a rig repair for internaExamining the change in the tional clients in the Port of Cape Town. Like occupational distribution of the many of the larger shipyards, Dormac has marine manufacturing workforce recognised the constraints of a lack of from 2004 to 2014, the overall decline specialised artisans in the maritime sector of 1.7%, was primarily experienced and has initiated in-house artisan training. at the semi- and unskilled worker Much of the work undertaken by these levels, while there was a net yards can only be undertaken by accredincrease in the high skilled workforce.

The TETA research also highlighted that the industry is constrained by the lack of ability to attract significant talent into the sector; an inadequately educated and trained workforce and a lack of career progression opportunities. This is further exacerbated by the cyclical nature of the sector that struggles to keep a permanent workforce productive without tenure of contracts. “Focus should be on recruiting artisans with the standard trades required in the marine manufacturing sector, and then developing the marine specialisation. This requires more creative strategies

for attracting qualified artisans into the marine sector, and tagging and supporting apprentices with aspirations to work in the sector and supporting their enrolment in a trade, recruiting on completion of their apprenticeship, employing them and building the marine specialisation,” highlights the research. Small companies face barriers In the marine manufacturing industry, sub-sectors are dominated by small businesses that are doubly constrained to undertake training and skills development. TETA’s research notes that there are a range of hindrances that are specific to small employers. These include the lack of capacity to implement in-house training, determine their skills needs and to identify relevant external service providers that will meet their needs. In addition, the actual cost of training remains prohibitive as there is no alternative funding for

small employers who do not pay the skills levy. Those that are able to access grants and subsidies are often the victims of negative cashflow scenarios as they can only access these funds at the conclusion of the training. “Most employers in the marine manufacturing sector fall outside of the skills development legislative requirements and therefore do not know how to access support. Those who have tried to access support have been frustrated by the red tape. Understanding how to access grants from SETAs is a real challenge for small businesses without dedicated training or HR resources,” they add. It’s clear that the policy, the research and the report papers on the need to enhance the availability of scarce skills has been written and talked about – now all that is required is the subsequent action to close these skills gaps.

Pursuing opportunities in the African power market

Since partnering with Peninsula Power Products (PPP), the Baudouin brand has been well received by various sectors of the marine market and Alistair Lockhart of PPP believes that they are poised to make a significant impact on the fishing, passenger vessel, workboat and offshore support boat sectors.

“We have undertaken to get the engines into the market and embarked on a roadshow that has earmarked a number of ports and harbours,” he says adding that they have already visited the Mossel Bay maritime community and intend visiting other regions before the end of the year. Guillaume Costa, Africa Sales Manager for the French-based engine manufacturer is continuing to work closely with the PPP team and is ensuring that they receive the relevant training as well as the appropriate sales support. The Baudouin Business Development Director, Mustapha Chibout, visits southern Africa regularly. He says:

''Our ultimate goal is to ensure that we achieve maximum customer satisfaction and make sustainable progress in the region.'' “The message is getting out and people are beginning to enquire about moving to the Baudouin brand,” says Bruce Lockhart of PPP, adding that they have already submitted a number of quotes into the industry. Early interest from the Namibian fishing sector will see the first Baudouin engine being installed to repower a bottom trawler for Freddie Fish in Walvis Bay before the end of the year. “We will also provide practical training and the

engine will continue to be supported by our newly-appointed local Baudouin dealer in Namibia,” says Alistair. The 32 litre 12 M26.2 Baudouin engine on order for Namibia is a four-stroke diesel engine that features direct injection. It is a 12-cylinder, mechanical injection workhorse engine for commercial boats that will be well-suited for the Namibian fishing conditions. As the sub-dealer in Walvis Bay, Namib Diesel is lead by Frank Borruso who has a team of experienced staff with a strong background in marine engines as well as a robust sales team. “They are a very reputable maritime team with their own machining shop and wellequipped engine facilities,” confirms Costa. Namib Diesel will keep a stock of Baudouin propulsion and auxiliary marine engines from 11 to 20 litres. Namib Diesel also keeps a large stock of spare parts to ensure after sales support.

Having identified the region as being of strategic importance, Baudouin’s president recently visited South Africa to meet with the current network as well as strengthen their development strategy with partners. Baudouin’s President Fabrizio Mozzi says “Baudouin aims to make sure to be present wherever our customers need us." Back up and support

The partnership will continue to be driven by support from the Frenchbased head office. “Our partners must be perfectly comfortable with our products and services in order to give customers the best support,” says Jean Garcia, Spare Parts Manager. Baudouin users will also benefit from a clearly defined strategy to finalise the dealer network in southern Africa. “In order to quickly respond to the needs of our customers, we will ensure that we keep stock of engines and spare parts in South Africa,” adds Costa. “We see the Baudouin range fitting comfortably into and meeting the needs of the region’s maritime sectors,” says Lockhart adding that the easy-to-access parts and user-friendly maintenance of the engines are likely to be a popular feature in the industry.

Marine is in our DNA With engines available in the 130hp to 1,650hp range for vessels of up to 60m, Baudouin and Peninsula Power Products are well-placed to provide a cost-effective alternative to the local maritime sectors.

Meeting industry needs

“It is also important to note that the Baudouin engines were built to be marine engines. They have not been converted for marine use,” he adds. Clients can be assured of a compliant product that undergoes quality checks before being shipped from their manufacturing facility in France. “The Baudouin engines also comply with the latest environment standards in the world,” says Ian Carrick, Director of PPP. According to him, both propulsion and auxiliary engines from 9 to 32 litres will be kept in stock. "These engines deliver excellent value and will be backed by servicing capabilties as well as a stock of spare parts," Carrick adds. "The total cost of ownership of our engine is very competitive and the consumption lower than comparative products on the market," he adds. "In addition, Baudouin has an engineering department in France that supports customers during their building and replacement projects. Baudouin offfers a complete propulsion solution including engine, gearbox, shaftline and propeller."

Powering port development A pair of Cummins QSK95 engines is helping power expansion projects for the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA). GPHA is the national port authority of Ghana, responsible for the governance, maintenance, and operation of the country's ports. These ports have seen a dramatic increase in total cargo traffic, transit cargo, and container traffic, which has prompted expansion projects. To increase its handling capacity, a major expansion and infrastructure upgrade will require bigger vessels and higher capacity engines.

Reactivation of OSVs brings engineering challenges THE AUTHOR: Neil Graham, technical director of diesel power specialists Royston, looks at the engineering and technical factors associated with bringing laid-up OSV engines back into service.

eports of increased offshore investment and a growth in seismic exploration activity have provided some grounds for cautious optimism among Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) operators – and this supports our own experience with a growing number of enquiries from vessel owners seeking advice and assistance in reactivating vessels ahead of anticipated new contract and tender opportunities. Of course over many lean years there have been many hundreds of vessels that have been laid-up with one recent study quoting the figure at over 1700 or around 35% of the total fleet. The reactivation of these vessels is not straightforward and inevitably requires a balanced consideration of the costs involved against the likely rates of return. Key factors in this process are the engineering and technical aspects associated with bringing a vessel’s engines out of a long term lay-up period and giving due consideration to the maintenance and inspection procedures carried out during the lay-up. Before a vessel can resume normal service, all overdue Class and Statutory surveys will need to be completed. In this respect, an accurate lay-up log is an essential requirement detailing the scope of any engine maintenance or service work carried out during the shutdown period. In addition, associated documents such as drydock work lists and lay-up personnel hand over reports also provide useful information in terms of planning the engine reactivation measures required. Accurate running hours for machinery should be made available throughout the lay-up period in order that appropriate spares for the maintenance of machinery items at reactivation can be planned for. In planning any maintenance works, careful consideration will need to be made of OEM lead times for spare parts. Full consideration of the lay-up reports and log books should enable a formal reactivation plan to be developed to restore the engine room machinery and power systems

to full working order. As part of this, any planned maintenance and service tasks that have been missed during lay-up periods will need to be checked. Planning for reactivation

Planning should commence when vessels are first laid-up. Decisions taken around hot or cold lay-up situations will ultimately determine the steps needed to re-introduce a vessel back into service. Bringing a vessel out of a long cold lay-up inevitably includes the risk of operational problems with engine function and unplanned consequences can extend the times and costs of reactivation. In theory, the reactivation of a ‘hot lay-up’ vessel should be more straightforward, but owners will often have applied different levels of maintenance, technical attention and understanding to meet different Class or Flag State requirements while the vessel remained out of operation. Determining the reactivation of any OSV therefore depends largely on the preparations made for lay-up – or lack of them – and the engineering and maintenance approach taken during out of service periods. There are a number of fundamental factors that need to be taken into account that can considerably influence the chances of an orderly return of a vessel to normal operation. Any preservation measures taken should always reflect the prevailing environmental conditions. Risks

The risks of engine, component and associated system damage during lay-ups are many and varied, including the potential for corrosion, spalling, fractures, abrasive wear, adhesive wear, porosities, seizure, fretting and cavitation. An example often encountered is the effect of adhesive wear between a bearing shell and a crankshaft journal during the starting or slow turning of an engine during a lay-up period. Other regular problems encountered are rust and scale in pipeline systems; dirty lube oil in engine oil

bores, and problems with sticking cylinder head and air start valves. The possible deterioration of the lubricating oils and fuel oils during the lay-up period also requires proper consideration. Routine checking and testing of all lubricating and fuel fluids should therefore be undertaken ahead of any propulsion and generator system reactivation work, including the inspection, cleaning and renewal where required of all cartridge and centrifugal filters. The impact of the presence of moisture is another area of concern and the review of any dehumidification records during lay-up can provide a pointer to the likely risks of corrosion-related problems. For example, any areas of the engine that have condensation markings or where the records indicate that dehumidification has not been effective will require more care. Note that for any lay-up other than a hot lay-up, the engines should be preserved / dry preserved as per Class recommendations. Sea water, fresh water and compressed air lines all also require attention before, during and after the lay-up period to avoid problems relating to corrosion, scale build up and blockages due to sediment. Main and auxiliary engines and associated systems

It is assumed that if the engines have been in cold lay-up major overhauls will be conducted and, therefore, tasks such as flushing through oil galleries will be done when the engine has had bearings removed. With regard to the main engines, the current advice from engine manufacturers is for main engine crankcase spaces to be closed up and dehumidified during lay-up. However, this is not always the case and the recommended course of action is for a full crankcase inspection to be carried out, alongside checking the condition and security of rotating parts. In particular the need is to ensure that no foreign objects may have inadvertently been left behind and that there has been no condensation damage, bacterial growth or other contamination within the engine and sump. The pistons and cylinder liners should be protected with an inhibitor and regular crankcase inspections carried out to check general condition of engine internal components.

Sales, servicing and overhauling Blanking off of the exhaust gas system and air intakes is recommended to prevent moisture ingress into the engine. For the lube oil system, consider blanking off or disconnecting the vent lines in the engine room. The LO pumps and priming pumps should be turned on a regular basis and run up prior to starting the engine. Purifiers should be run up to clean the oil as much as possible, with samples taken for analysis before starting the engines. Ideally the lube oil system should be flushed through with a recommended flushing oil prior to starting the lube oil pumps. Fuel lines with residual fuels should be drained and flushed with MGO prior to lay-up. Any fuel remaining on board should be regularly tested for water, sediment, abrasives and microbial activity in the case of distillates. Water in fuel tanks should be drained off on a regular basis. Fuel injection valves should also be cleaned, adjusted and refitted, and this requirement often also applies to the fuel pumps. The engine fuel system should be circulated prior to engine starting. It is recommended that the starting air system is drained and opened up, cleaned and left dry. It is vital that any machinery or pipeline system

that is left open should be subjected to a dehumidified atmosphere in the engine room. Starting air valves should be removed and tested prior to start up. The engine room temperature should always be a few degrees higher than the outside ambient temperature and never below freezing point. Sea water systems, including pipelines and heat exchangers should be opened and drained of water, with the heat exchangers being flushed with fresh water before being cleaned. If possible, leave the SW system open to benefit from the dehumidified air. Fresh water systems can be left filled if the appropriate chemicals are added and regularly tested to prevent corrosion and settling of solids. All valves need to have spindles greased and valves operated regularly to prevent seizure. Note this also applies to ships SW inlet valves but a blanking off of the SW system must take place to prevent SW ingress. The engines should be rotated regularly and the shafts should be returned to a different position each time. A vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auxiliary diesel engines may also have already been in need of overhaul at the time of

MARINE ENGINES

going into lay-up. It is therefore important that these items of machinery are also carefully examined as part of the reactivation process. If the auxiliary engines have not been run during the lay-up period, a sample of main bearings and connecting rod bottom end bearings should be opened for examination, to ascertain the need for remedial attention. On completion of the various commissioning tasks that are undertaken after all checks and maintenance activities have been completed, full load engine and generator tests will be necessary to fulfil the requirements of the Owner and the Class Surveyor. The downturn in the OSV market finally appears to have turned a corner. In response owners and operators who plan to reactivate their hot or cold stacked vessels need to think carefully about how this can be best achieved. In particular, the danger is that rushing vessels back into service without the proper technical approach and attention to detail will only lead to further problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; greatly undermining those brighter market prospects that have taken so long to emerge.

BOAT BUILDING

Q&A with the South African Boat Builders Export Council Representing South Africa’s boat building sector, the South African Boat Builders Export Council (SABBEX) aims to foster the country’s brand internationally as well as promote exports. We caught up with Vanessa Davidson to discuss recent developments and what the future looks like for the sector. What is the value of the leisure boat building industry in South Africa? We recently revised our economic contribution figures and the industry currently contributes R2.2bn to the economy in South Africa. We have seen an increase in orders and production partly as a result of the devastation to the Caribbean charter fleets during Hurricane Irma. Key charter operators took a direct hurricane hit and they are now rebuilding their infrastructure and replacing the vessels, which is good news for those South African boat builders who supply charter boats. There has also been an interest in day charter boats recently with exports to the Seychelles and Jamaica. In addition, we have a new class of a design racing monohull called the Cape 31s being produced here and they have just launched hull number 13. This is a great development for local sailing

How extensive is the local value chain around boat building? Generally between 40 and 60 per-

Maritime Review Africa JULY / AUGUST 2019

cent of the value of a boat is imported, with the large ticket item being the engines and propulsion systems. The balance is locally generated and we often forget to highlight this part of the value chain. We have world-class equipment and component manufacturers in South Africa such as Viking Lifesaving who service lifejackets and life rafts and other safety equipment. Sparcraft produce masts for sailing boats, both for local use and for export. Ullman Sails and North Sails both have substantial size sail lofts in South Africa and they export the majority of what they produce. For Ullman Sails, the recent expansion into kitesurfing production and a brand new development in what is termed “wing surfing” is positive news. In the sail making business there are side opportunities utilising offcuts for bags and accessories. Amdoor is a local aluminium door producer that custom build sliding doors for catamaran builders. Seascape Stainless Steel Services supply marine grade highly finished stainless steel components for small and large boat builders.

Southern Ropes supply a range of rope and we have seen a new entrant in sail rigging component production with Draco Sailing. Hybrid Composites supply custom made hatches and other composite solutions. There are a number of other manufacturers that I have not mentioned here, but it gives you an idea of the diversity of the value chain. In fact the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is actively supporting the marine equipment and accessories sector to help ensure that the 60 percent local content for government procured vessels is achievable. Another area the DTI support is the localisation of design. We have a number of naval architects and yacht designers producing globally competitive designs in both the recreational and commercial space including Icarus Marine, Keith Davies Marine, Anton du Toit, Pieter Volschenk and others.

How supportive is local and national government of marine manufacturing? We have had great support both locally and nationally. Boat building and ship building and repair are a priority sector of the DTI and we have support targets set in the Industrial Policy Action Plan. At the moment, there is a skills pilot intervention where young people are being trained for entry into boat

building, in partnership with the South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI) and the National Skills Fund. Looking forward, the DTI want to assist with a coordinated international marketing drive that consist of inbound business missions as well as support via National Pavilions at key international shows. The key shows for the South African recreational manufacturers are Miami and Annapolis in the USA and Cannes and the Grand Motte shows in Europe. In Cape Town, we have support from Invest Cape Town/City of Cape Town with Alderman James Vos and his team. They joined SABBEX at the Miami Boat Show this year and they continue to assist in addressing blockages to business growth. They have supported some new research into the Ocean Sports Economy which will be announced shortly. It is all about how to support the Blue Economy and marine manufacturing in particular, as this is where we can drive training and create new jobs. Nationally, we are grateful to the Department of Transport (DoT) and in particular, Dumisani Ntuli for his support for the leisure boat building sector. There have been a number of facilitated engagements with the Department and we are excited about an upcoming investor engagement later in the year which will be a key lever for transformation opportunities.

How can boat shows promote the boat building sector? The Cape Town International Boat Show is the longest operating show in the country and it was acquired by Messe Frankfurt two years ago. Messe Frankfurt, is an international exhibition company that handles a number of key shows in South Africa and they have expanded both the exhibitor and visitor numbers and introduced exciting new elements such as the Little Optimist Race, a

This year, they have negotiated the drydock space adjacent to the Two Oceans Aquarium to be used for the show. Together with the DTI and SABBEX, they will host a visiting Greek business delegation and they hope to grow the business-tobusiness aspect of the show as well as attract more business delegates from Africa. The Durban Boat Show is also under new ownership and there are some exciting ideas from the new owners to expand the show footprint. We hope 2020 will see a new and revived show in Durban. The Gauteng market is traditionally focused on the ski boat, pontoon boat and house boat sector and hopefully someone will revive show efforts in the inland market. Each show has a distinct difference in terms of market, so there is room for everyone.

To what extent is there an opportunity for South Africa to expand the boat building sector to include new entrants? Boat builders generally enter the industry out of a passion for boating and sailing and there are opportunities for new boat builders with a unique boat design and solid market research. The cost of designs and tooling are high and having a confirmed order book or investment to cover the cost of design and tooling is advisable for anyone interested in entering the space. New entrants into the sector also have an opportunity to provide goods and services in the boat build-

ing supply chain. As an example, this could be stainless steel fabrication, upholstery, marine electrical services, the supply of electronic navigation equipment etc. On the business services side, boat builders will also need insurance, shipping and logistics, yacht haulage and skills development. New entrants will need to network themselves into the industry and find out the niche specialisation they can offer in the supply chain or in the new boat market. It is a competitive business and profit margins are not high, so new entrants need to be acutely aware of their competitors (local and international) and pitch their business accordingly.

Boat building on the radar There is a buzz around boat building that has both national and provincial governments in South Africa excited. While Cape Town remains the dominant player in the South African boat building sector, there are a number of success stories emanating from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal that could help spearhead the country’s ambitions to see a wider and deeper spread of boat builders across the country.

“Recognition of the boat building Alderman James Voss, the City of Cape Town’s Executive Head of Economic Opportunities and Asset Management, has emphasised Cape Town’s intention to support further growth in the sector and consolidate the city’s reputation as the boat building destination in the country.

sector by the National Department of Transport is a great step and starts to firmly locate the marine manufacturing sector as a central tenet of our economy. We look forward to continued support from, and engagement with, the Department,” says Vanessa Davidson of the South African Boat Builders Export Council (SABBEX). Although the value of the boat building sector has been previously studied, the Industrial Development Corporation called for interested parties to undertake an economic overview of the leisure and commercial marine market in July.

A national position The national position is that, while Cape Town is acknowledged as the hub of boat building in the country, more should be done to foster growth for the development of clusters in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal where capacity already exists. A profile of the sector released by the South African Maritime Safety Authority’s Centre for Policy and Regulation, emphasises the role of the National Industrial Policy Framework and its Industrial Policy Action Plans in facilitating as well as promoting labour-intensive industries such as boat building.

study will probably reiterate what a number of previous research projects have already discovered, but it will also establish current values associated with the sector.

The government’s Operation Phakisa included boat building within its mandate and identified potential growth of four percent an annum to 2033 for both its contribution to GDP as well as employment. This growth projection was supported by the Department of Industry’s (DTI) declaration of the industry as a designated sector – effectively ensuring that all state-procured vessels be built locally. In addition, regional markets have been identified in both East and West Africa. While some national interventions have not succeeded in the sector, the Department of Trade and Industry has more recently initiated a marine supplier development programme which may have an impact on developing the sector in the short to medium term. The initiative aims to provide assistance to address funding related to meeting standards and certifications as well as technology enhancement. The programme is being implemented by the Aerospace Industry Support Initiative (AISI). In September, the Department of Transport (DOT) is planning to host an Invest in South Africa summit in Durban that is aimed at the marine manufacturing and boat building sector. The event will provide an investment platform to potential enterprises to present bankable projects ready for investor consideration and is being supported by SABBEX. The revitalisation of the Stock Boat Manufacturing programme will form part of the discussions at the summit. This programme, which was introduced in about 2013, aimed to provide a preferential loan rate that allowed boat builders to manufacture boats for stock, but failed to produce results for a number of reasons. Cape Town pushes position Cape Town’s position as the second biggest producer of leisure catamarans in the world after France has helped fuel the motivation of the City of Cape Town’s (COC) Department of Economic Opportunities to spur further growth. Speaking at an industry function recently, Alderman James Voss, the City’s Executive Head of Economic Opportunities and Asset Management, emphasised COC’s intention to support further growth in the sector and consolidate the city’s reputation as the boat building destination in the country. “We will be exploring more opportunities in the boat building sector to posi-

tion ourselves as global leaders,” he told delegates. “We want to make Cape Town the ‘go to’ city for boat building in South Africa,” he added. Given the R32 bn value of exported catamarans in 2018, it is not surprising that the boat building – and leisure boat building sector in particular – is showing up on the government’s radar. The perception is that high-end boat builders in the leisure market do not feel the effects of recessions because their clients are less susceptible to these economic downturns. The City has had a number of industry engagements where companies have also had the opportunity to voice some of the challenges that the currently face. Apart from the issues that have been addressed by other articles in this publication, industry stakeholders emphasise the need for Transnet National Ports Authority to offer long term leases within the port precinct that align with shipyards’ investment strategies.

As such they have asked the COC to intervene in mediations with the port. With significant potential to develop the sector, the realisation of these objectives will only be possible with continued collaborative effort between government and industry. Indeed, a study five years from now should necessarily prove that interventions have been successful (or not) by emphasising measurable growth.

Fishing vessel recapitalisation project kicks off

of the marine manufacturing industry and what effect a renewal programme would have on the sectors. Other government departments involved in the programme include Forestry and Fisheries, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Transnet National Ports Authority as well as the Industrial Development Council and the CSIR. “We need all hands on deck as success would only come from a multisectoral approach that includes government, parastatals, industry and financial institutions,” says Nkukwana. According to the latest SAMSA Annual Report, in 2017/18 the task team was finally able to start industry engagements, conducting sessions with the major fishing companies to solicit their views on how they could support such a programme should it be launched, and what their plans were from a vessel acquisition standpoint.

The concept of a project to recapitalise the South African fishing fleet took root at the intensive deliberations that kickstarted Operation Phakisa in mid-2014, but it has not really gained traction until this year when the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) placed an advert in local newspapers during June inviting interested boat builders to become involved in developing prototypes.

he much-anticipated fishing vessel recapitalisation project was mooted to help both the fishing sector as well as the boat building sector – and has been alluded to in all of SAMSA’s annual reports and performance plans since 2015. Initially included under the heading to promote safety in the fishing industry, more recently the project was included under the Authority’s maritime sector development and support programmes. According to Sizwe Nkukwana, Programme Manager: Operation Phakisa for SAMSA, approximately 1,400 fishing vessels of various ages are currently on the South African Ships register. “Some are as old as 50 years. If we benchmark against Europe, nearly

all the vessels would need to be replaced in order to comply with EU regulations,” he says, explaining the need to renew the fleet. He adds that about 700 vessels will need replacing by 2030. This has the potential to help boost the local boat building sector through a localisation programme that make locally-built vessels a requirement of fishing licences and quotas. “However the greatest opportunities will only be realised if we can develop a package that is attractive to continental and Asian markets,” adds Nkukwana, who sees opportunities beyond just supplying the local markets. SAMSA has spearheaded the initiative to investigate the impact of the age of the fishing fleet on the state

“The industry supported the idea of a fishing vessel renewal program and would support the initiative of ensuring availability of vessels to emerging fishing groups. However they stressed the need for policy certainty and consistency of application of the rules and guidelines as a major enabler for the growth of the sector,” notes the report. The task team reported that the need for certainty in the rights allocation process would impact the success of such a programme. “The current allocation methodologies did not encourage investment in new vessels, and South African built vessels were not feasible under the current regime given the competition from the import of second hand market,” they noted.

Prototype phase The invitation to participate published by SAMSA indicates that the first phase will include the development of two prototype fishing vessels for use by fishing communities on the East and West Coast. Nkukwana confirms that the response to the call to industry met their expectations, but adds that not many of the respondents complied to supply all of the requested information. “Thus far only one company has made the commitment to deliver on

Ship and boat building the entire financial requirements of the prototype build,” he adds. “Although there has been little response from the industry, we believe that interest will gain momentum once the programme starts. We are anticipating that the biggest interest will be generated after Phase 2 when we go into full roll-out of the anticipated 700 vessels,” he says. According to SAMSA, “The objective of this phase is to gather data and information to be used in the development of a set of vessels that could be used by the small to medium sized fishing enterprises along the South African coast. The vessel designs would be South African owned allowing greater localisation in line with the Department of Trade and Industry target of 60 percent.” The prototype phase is envisaged to take provide the following anticipated outputs:

Analysis of user (small scale fishing communities and small-medium sized enterprises) requirements informing functional requirements and specifications that will inform

the design process;

Design of various vessels types fit for purpose and operating on South African waters;

Develop the maintenance requirements for the continued operation of the vessels;

Development of a sustainable funding model for the full scale rollout;

Investigate the incentive package(s) to best support the boat building industry;

Investigate and develop a plan for taking advantage of extended value chains and available infrastructure.

Project outline Nkukwana confirms that the project will unfold in three phases. The current programme planning phase is due to be completed by the end of December this year. During the next phase, which is expected to be accomplished over the course of 2020, SAMSA will engage with industry and fishing communi-

ties, develop a prototye, a business model and finalise approval for fabrication facilities. The final phase will see the completion of detailed vessel designs before establishing a market, incentive packages as well as financing structures. This final phase is scheduled for completion by the end of December 2022. With the financing structure due to be developed in the latter two phases, Nkukwana says robust engagement will ensure that the programme is “sustainably financed in a manner that benefits all parties involved”. One source suggests that the programme will ultimately work to develop three prototypes: a 10 m vessel, a 24 m vessel and a larger vessel. “We will continue to engage the various stakeholders, particularly the boat building industry so that we can achieve greater involvement across the supply chain in order to achieve the greatest possible impact for the sector and the fishing community,” Nkukwana adds.

“Although there has been little response from the industry, we believe that interest will gain momentum once the program starts. We are anticipating that the biggest interest will be generated after Phase 2 when we go into full roll-out of the anticipated 700 vessels.”

A clear strategy pays off for Cape Town boat yard Moving into the iconic Workshop 24 in the Port of Cape Town, Veecraft Marine is benefiting from a clear strategic focus on vessels in the eight to thirty metre range. Editor, Colleen Jacka recently caught up with Chief Operating Officer, Stuart McVitty to discuss their current and future focus as a shipyard serving the needs of Africa’s maritime domain.

turnkey vessels to the country. Subsequently the yard will deliver the vessels in kit form to be assembled at a newly refurbished yard in the country. According to McVitty the plan is to develop the capacity and skills of the local yard to accept more and more complicated assembly until they can produce their own vessels on site.

“This is a pity because if the industry was better supported there should be better stock holding on hand,” he adds. “To make matters worse South Africa has now added import duties on Aluminium plate whether it is available in SA or not”

s part of the Paramount Maritime Holdings Group that also includes Nautic Africa, Veecraft Marine’s focused approach to defining their market is paying off. “We developed a clear strategy and decided to define the two shipyards based on size. Veecraft focuses on vessels of eight to approximately thirty metres while Nautic Africa focuses on vessels larger than 30m,” says McVitty. “This has been well received by the market and on the back of that success we are investing in moving into this building (Workshop 24),” he adds. Veecraft has signed a three-year lease with Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) for Workshop 24. According to McVitty this follows on further investment last year to completely revamp their welding equipment. “This represents a commitment to investment,” he says explaining that the company will undertake improvements to the 2,500 m2 workspace to ensure that it accommodates future boat builds. “With three overhead cranes, however, the facility has some serious lifting capacity and is already suitable for much of our current requirements,” he says. All of Veecraft’s aluminium hulls will be built in the new facility, but the yard does also produce composite as well as steel vessels for the market within the identified size range that they offer. “We are currently undertaking a number of composite RHIB projects and do have the capabilities to build in steel,” explains McVitty, adding that the new facility will help ensure that no cross contamination of materials occurs. This is further guaranteed by outsourcing certain work where necessary. Noting that, while much of their aluminium is sourced local, McVitty says that there is still a need to import when stock is not available.

Hydrographic survey boats As part of the South African Navy’s renewal of its hydrographic capabilities, Veecraft is currently building the three survey motor boats that will work alongside the new stateof-the-art hydrographic vessel that is under construction in Durban. The 11 metre vessels are locally designed. “The design is a Group design that was commissioned locally here in South Africa by the Paramount Maritime Holdings Group,” explains McVitty. The first of the three aluminium boats is nearing completion at the Veecraft yard and will be delivered to coincide with the live testing of the Navy’s hydrographic office upgrade. “They will have all the hydrographic equipment on board that one could dream of,” says McVitty highlighting that this technology has been specified and will be installed by Unique Hydra, based in Epping. A full production line There is, however, much more coming out of the yard currently. A 20m aluminium workboat is nearing completion and is due to be launched for the South African Special Forces shortly. It will be used to serve the Langebaan Lagoon region. In addition, a project to deliver 32 Guardian Class s RHIBS for anAfrican naval client is currently underway.. The new Guardian 960 is an inhouse development and represents state of the art design and complexity. The vessels will be manufactured using vacuum infused composites. In the first phase of the project Veecraft will deliver fully kitted out

In addition to these Guardian vessels, another order will see Veecraft deliver a number of 12 m patrol vessels for inshore harbour protection to a port’s authority in West Africa by the end of July. A further order for more of these 12m patrol vessels as well as two Guardian 960 RHIB will fulfil the same purpose for yet another order to Africa. “Africa is investing in patrol and security platforms in an effort to combat maritime threats such as piracy,” says McVitty who adds that Nigeria’s model to engage private resources is being considered by neighbouring countries. Exciting new platform Looking ahead McVitty describes a new project to build a 24m Catamaran workboat which is due to commence in the yard and represents an opportunity to introduce the Volvo Quad IPS pod into the oil and gas sector. “The system has been received well within the renewable market, but not had a real impact in the oil and gas sector,” he says adding that the company has invested heavily in the design of the platform to accommodate the pod drive. “This will be the first commercial vessel in Africa built with the pods for the oil and gas sector,” he says. He adds that, because Southern Power (the local Volvo distributors) are part of the Paramount Maritime Holdings Group, clients opting for a Volvo engine will benefit from the cost benefits of the Group’s supply chain. “This helps with the initial asset procurement and having a global brand such as Volvo’s support is fantastic,” he adds.

Investment aims to benefit the entire regional shipbuilding sector

s part of its commitment to accelerate transformation in the South African shipbuilding industry, Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT) recently helped to empower Africa Projects Consultants; a small, 100% black-owned business focused on the shipbuilding and ship repair sectors, via a R5 million interest-free loan to purchase a state-of-the-art pipe-bending machine. Both companies have signed an agreement to seal their partnership. Jaap de Lange, DSCT managing director, said: “Every ship is comprised of a mass of pipes, much like the veins and arteries in the human body, so good pipework is fundamental in every vessel. Up until now, there has been no pipe-bending service that could adequately cater to our needs. With this initiative, there will soon be a modern capability able to serve both our demands and those of the wider shipbuilding and repair sector in our region.” The new machine will arrive in South Africa at the end of September.

The way pipe-bending of thick wall thickness pipes is done now involves manually welding together two pipes and an elbow or alternatively complete bend pipes were imported. This much more technologically advanced pipe-bending machine will not only increase the speed at which the pipe bending and fabrication can be done, it will also increase quality substantially. This makes the products and services offered by Africa Projects Consultants much more efficient with quicker turnaround times, enabling the company to be more competitive. With this new equipment Africa Projects can expand its services to other customers in the maritime and other markets. Project manager and co-founder of Africa Projects Consultants, Taufeeq Phipps added, “We will now be able to grow our business into something that can sustain a large number of employees in the Western Cape.” DSCT’s financing of the pipe-bending

Vessel delivery puts Level 1 boat builder on the map

s new a new entrant into the boat building sector, Durbanbased, Dams Maintenance and Industrial Supplies cc recently delivered a new survey craft on schedule and to budget to Transnet National Ports Authority’s Dredging Services division. Commenting on the delivery, Carl Gabriel, Executive Manager for TNPA’s Dredging Services division said that it was inspiring to see new entrants entering the boat building market. The Black owned family company based in Woodview, Durban, has a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Level 1 status and scooped the contract through a competitive tender process in which the contractor satisfied all technical, B-BBEE and price evaluation criteria. Dams sub-contracted certain elements to Hansen Boatz and Toyz cc - t/a Durban Yamaha. Dams Operations Director, Danny Ramsaroop, said the company’s previous experience included building a Category E rescue craft for the KwaDukuza Municipality’s lifeguards division and a jet ski for the eThekwini Municipality’s lifeguards unit. “This was our first project for Transnet and it was sheer pleasure but also hard work coordinating the project from documentation to the manufacture and delivery according to specifications, with all statutory certification,” he said. The order was received from TNPA in November 2018 and the craft was completed five days ahead of schedule on 26 March 2019. The delivery of the new survey craft was the latest acquisition in the Dredging Services division’s ongoing fleet replacement programme in excess of R2 billion. The vessel is valued at approximately R1.5 million.

ith the clock ticking for existing vessels to comply with the IMO’s Ballast Water Convention, Cape Town-based AllSurvey Industrial (ASI) reports that they have completed the first ballast water treatment system installation in South Africa. “Although there have been system acquisitions locally, we believe that this is the first actual installation and commissioning of a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) undertaken in a South African port,” says

Lars Thorsen, Managing Director of ASI. ASI installed the Desmi RayClean BWTS on board an international vessel currently stationed within the port. “It has been a very interesting project for the company,” says Alex Desvoyes who project managed the installation and commissioning. Desmi RayCleanTM is IMO and DNV type approved and has earned the Alternate Management System

(AMS) acceptance by the US Coast Guard (USCG). The AMS acceptance covers all salinities ranging from freshwater to marine water. In addition RayCleanTM has been proven capable of dealing with extremely dirty and unclear water. Confirming that the installation was approved by the Classification Society Bureau Veritas, Desvoyes emphasises that it was successfully completed without impacting on the ship’s existing equipment, escape routes or other installations. “A complete data pack was submitted to the shipowners ready for the Classification Society surveyor to review and approve,” he says. “ASI fitted solid foundations for all the components of the system with fully galvanised piping and welds checked by Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI). Importantly, the equipment is easy to access ensuring ease of maintenance,” adds Thorsen. In terms of ensuring a smooth handover to the client, ASI undertook full commissioning as well as training of the crew on the system, which allows for a fully automated operation. The system records sea water volumes during ballasting

Attracting fishing vessels to Durban for repair work

ith a successful history of servicing commercial vessels in the Port of Durban, Southern African Shipyards (SAS) is now also servicing the region’s fishing fleet. Having realised that they can provide a valuable service to fishing trawlers in need of emergency repairs and those due for their standard two-year survey drydocking, the company has taken a strategic decision to focus on the fishing industry.

“Yes, we have some very satisfied customers,” said Derek Kurten, SAS’s national sales manager for ship repair.

SAS has seen a gap to service fishing trawlers based in Cape Town that may not have been accommodated in their home port due to high traffic and the ship repair facility maintenance project.

“We make sure that when fishing trawlers and crews are in Durban, we are available around the clock for them. We pride ourselves on our personalised service,” he stressed, explaining that SAS aimed to make its Bayhead, Durban base a “home from home” for the visiting fishermen while they wait for their trawlers to be repaired and maintained.

With SAS’s now extending its reputation and offering an alternative service, several fishing industry companies have already sent their ships to Durban for repairs and maintenance.

SAS is continuing to step up its campaign and is on a major drive to lure the fishing industry business to Durban with its state-of-art facilities-and competitive pricing-and, as a result, the company’s clientele list is steadily growing. The company is offering a unique service, Kurten said.

“Every call we get from them

will be answered, no matter what the time is. What needs to be done to make them feel welcome is being done,” said Kurten. While trawlers are being worked on by professional and skilled workers alongside and at the floating dock, the needs of the fishermen are also being catered for so that they are comfortable thanks to the establishment of facilities that cater to their personal needs. And, in a move to make the fishermen feel even more welcome and part of the SAS family, the company’s ship repair project managers have relocated their offices from the main shipyard building down to the wharf to make them more accessible to the visitors. Kurten says that the company will actively pursue fishing companies in the rest of Africa and that joint ventures with other companies in foreign ports may be viable. “Exciting times are ahead,” Kurten predicted.

Underwater hull cleaning approved for South African ports TNPA announces intention to licence service providers

ollowing a number of years of waiting, local service providers have finally been given the opportunity to apply for permits to provide in-water hull cleaning in South African ports. After the completion of a pilot project that was introduced in the Port of Durban a number of years ago and extended beyond its initial two-year period, service providers have been involved in a back-andforth with Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) to get clarity on when the service could be officially introduced. TNPA announced in May that they intended to introduce in-water hull cleaning for permit holding service providers in all South African ports in an effort to stringently manage biofouling. “Biofouling slows down the vessel and reduces fuel efficiency.

Mazibuko said TNPA’s decision to offer hull cleaning in its ports in response to market demand was influenced by significant advances in hull-cleaning technology, which minimise the spread of alien species during the cleaning process. “Hull cleaning that is not managed correctly during removal of biofouling, can result in the global spread of alien and invasive species posing serious risks. These risks could include destroying indigenous biodiversity, harming local fisheries

and aquatic farming operations and introducing diseases to the local population,” she explained. TNPA has sensitive aquatic habitats and aquatic farming operations in a number of its ports in South Africa, making it critical for the port landlord to introduce a strict permit for all service providers undertaking hull cleaning activity in any port. The permit is in line with the ‘2011 IMO Guidelines for the Control and Management of Ships’ Biofouling to Minimise the Transfer of Invasive Aquatic Species’. Submissions from prospective service providers are presently being reviewed as part of TNPA’s tender process. “Strict environmental monitoring of all hull cleaning activities will ensure that deviations are picked up early and strict interventions are implemented, even if it means cancelling a permit of a non-compliant service provider,” said Mazibuko. TNPA is also committed to working with all regulatory Authorities that are mandated to manage Biodiversity, conduct research or establish policy and exercise oversight on environmental marine issues.

The tugs manoeuvred the liner – then the largest vessel on the South African service – across the Alfred Basin and into the drydock that, a short time later, would bear the Governor’s name.

o ensure that there would be no mishap, a warship had gone into the drydock a few days earlier, a drydock visit that was regarded as unofficial so that the mailship bearing the Governor and his esteemed party would make the first official entry to the valuable addition to Cape Town harbour.

A refuge for emergency repairs

In January 1911 en route from Britain to New Zealand, the Shaw Savill liner Aotea grounded at Mouille Point. Cargo – including 350 tons of dynamite – was removed from the vessel. Despite the fact that rocks had punctured several of her compartments, salvors decided on the seemingly impossible task to refloat her. They planned the operation very carefully and, given the technology available at the time, showed remarkable ingenuity. By sealing some of the holes and as many hatchways as possible and, by using powerful pumps, they succeeded in gaining some buoyancy in the vessel. Remnants of the paper cargo in some of the holds, however, clogged the pumps causing considerable frustration amongst the salvage team. A more serious setback occurred when a door to the propeller shaft tunnel gave way under water pressure, causing renewed flooding and a delay while more pumping was undertaken. The vessel was lightened considerably and an attempt to pull her from the rocks was imminent. After her anchors had been laid to seaward and with power supplied to the winches, a combined pull of 80 tons on the cables saw the ship move slightly. The harbour tug Manila had put up a line and, as the ship gained more buoyancy, the tug pulled her away from the rocks. As a thorough survey of the situation showed that the pumps were

holding their own, the Port Captain allowed the damaged vessel to enter the harbour and, until the Robinson Drydock became available, he ordered that she be berthed at Collier Jetty and that she be allowed to settle onto the sandy bottom. Once alongside, all her remaining cargo – steel and pig iron – was discharged while proper sealing of the gashes in her hull was undertaken. Once she was in the drydock, a full assessment of her condition revealed that it was worth repairing her, and engineering teams began the lengthy job that required steel to be brought from Britain. Once repaired, Aotea continued trading for Shaw Savill for a year until the British company Andrew Weir bought her and renamed her Naneric. Despite her age – she was built in 1894 – and earlier damage during a previous accident, the old vessel was bought by Italian interests in 1925 and later was scrapped as Ballari. A pragmatic, informed decision by an experienced professional allowed the severely damaged Aotea entry to the harbour and enabled her to have a long trading life after these major repairs. Sprucing up in Sturrock

I recall wandering around Sturrock Drydock in those far-off days when whalers that had wintered in Cape Town after their previous killing spree were being spruced up for the next whaling season in the Southern Ocean. They were double-banked with a steel partition between them and to which beams were placed to ensure that the vessels remained on even keel. Propeller shafts were drawn, stern glands were repacked and contractors did general maintenance of the vessels’ underwater areas. This represented good revenue for the marine engineering sector, and excellent

training for apprentice shipwrights, fitters and others. In addition, the port gained revenue from these drydockings. Sturrock saves the day

One of the strangest drydockings in Cape Town, however, was that of the 40-metre coaster Cascade, on charter to Thesen’s Coasters for the service between Cape Town and Port Nolloth. Contractors who were widening and deepening the channel through the reef at Port Nolloth had left their scraper on the seabed over a weekend. As Cascade passed through the

channel she hit the scraper, tore a hole in her bottom, and, with the engine room flooding, she began to settle by the stern. Divers plugged the hole, and the ship’s pumps managed to keep ahead of the water intake. A larger Thesen coaster Griqua Coast was diverted to tow the damaged vessel to Cape Town, but the tow parted off Cape Columbine and Griqua Coast could not reconnect it. Their ship was off a lee shore and the engineers aboard Cascade worked feverishly to strip parts of the previously-flooded engine before trying to restart it. While the cook poured pots of hot water into the engine

cooling system to warm it, engineers succeeded in starting the engine and, contrary to the laws of buoyancy, the tiny vessel continued the voyage to Cape Town under her own power. As neither the Robinson Drydock nor the slipway was available at the time, another pragmatic decision by a port official solved the problem of a badly damaged ship needing drydocking. “Put her in the Sturrock Drydock,” ordered the Port Captain, and the Dockmaster hurriedly made preparations for the tiny vessel to be accommodated in the 360-metre drydock. As the drydocking was urgent, there was no time to put in place the

cassion that partitions the drydock into two separate basins, and once Cascade was in place, the water was pumped out, leaving the tiny vessel a mere speck within the huge drydock. Double bookings

On several occasions, Unicorn put two ships into a drydock.

facilities, VLCCs, Capesize bulkers and most oil rigs are too wide to enter any of the South African drydocks. The viability and location of a drydock for really large vessels has been discussed since the 1960s. Over the years, sites in Richards Bay or Saldanha Bay have been mooted. Widening the two larger drydocks by 50 metres in each direction has also been suggested. After all, many large ships pass the South African coast each day and at any stage, one or more of these leviathans might require urgent drydocking or routine underwater maintenance work.

Drydock simultaneously.

Aliwal Shoal near Port Shepstone.

Accommodating the demand for drydocking often brought out real ingenuity on the part of the Dockmaster. In Cape Town at the height of the Suez closure of 1967 to 1975 when three ships needed drydocking, the Dockmaster juggled the docking plan so that two of the ships were accommodated at an angle. The stern of one overhung the end of the drydock so that when contractors came to repaint her name on the stern, they did not need the usual complex scaffolding but used a small cherry-picker parked on the hard at the end of the drydock.

I also mentioned the repairwork undertaken, also in Durban, to the new British freighter Bencruachan that had suffered immense damage to her hull after being hit by a freak wave off the Wild Coast. And major repairs were carried out on several large tankers and bulkers, damaged by heavy seas off the coast. Some tankers had lost their bow or had cracked, requiring stiffening to be welded in place prior to the vessels being towed to larger repair yards elsewhere for permanent repairs.

Repair mettle tested

Besides the drydockings, South African marine engineering companies have had their mettle tested during several huge repair jobs, some of which I wrote about in this journal four years ago. I mentioned the hull repairs to the brand new American steamer Aimee Lykes by Durban engineers in 1963 when hundreds of tons of South African steel had to be used to replace the ship’s damaged bottom plates after the ship had been refloated from

Regular modifications are done to diamond recovery vessels, some requiring drydocking for part of the refit, but always involving significant numbers of contractors from heavy engineering works and electronic experts to those laying new carpets or replacing the cutlery in the messdecks. Future planning needed

Although the large drydocks in Durban and Cape Town and the two smaller drydocks – Princess Elizabeth Drydock in East London and Cape Town’s Robinson Drydock – can accommodate most of the routine demand for repair

There is also a wider market among other ship types. Since all South African ports import or export bulk cargoes, numerous Panamaxes or handysize bulkers wait a few days for their next cargo, the perfect time to drydock. A large enough drydock could accommodate two smaller bulkers simultaneously. South Africa needs to regain ground lost to Namibia when three floating docks were installed at Walvis Bay, depriving South African repair contractors of enormous amounts of revenue. A 460-metre drydock – a floating drydock or a dug-out dock – with a width of around 80 metres along the South African coast would provide an essential component for the local marine engineering sector. If the Egyptians could finance and build a new Suez Canal in one year, why can’t South Africa – yearning for employment projects and foreign exchange – just build this essential repair facility? Similarly to the greybearded salts of former years, those in charge of port facilities need to make pragmatic decisions so that full advantage can be taken of our present facilities; and so that new drydocks – floating or conventional – can offer accommodation to the largest ships passing this way.
