Ferries cancelled after breakwater collision

All ferries were cancelled on the Norwegian Color Line Superspeed 2 route between Norway and Denmark after a ferry crashed into a breakwater at the end of May. The ferry had to go to the dry docks at Frederikshavn in Denmark after denting its hull in a collision in Hirtshals, Color Line said. No one was hurt in the incident, and all damage was above the water line, the firm said.

Digitalisation and satellite telecommunications firm

Inmarsat has been snapped up by the US-based global communications company Viasat, an acquisition which will drive growth in satellite communications, Viasat says. “The combination of our companies brings together the people, technology, innovation, network assets, spectrum resources and global partnerships needed to help connect the world more affordably, securely and reliably,” said Viasat chairman and CEO Mark Dankberg.

Jan De Nul to supply interconnector

Marine contractor Jan De Nul will install an interconnector between the remote Orkney island of Hoy and the Scottish mainland. The firm’s cable-laying vessel connector will be used to install the 36km subsea cable, which is currently en route to Europe. It is the first time that energy firm SSEN Distribution has worked with Jan De Nul, and another 7km of spare cable will be supplied to its facility in Nigg.

Construction of the first largescale offshore wind farm in the US and indeed the Americas has finally begun, with monopile installation work now under way.

The Vineyard Wind 1 site, off the coast of Massachusetts, has had monopiles transported to the site by DEME installation vessel Orion, which will install the first six monopiles and transition pieces before the foundation for the offshore substation.

The wind farm, 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, is the Americas’ first utility-scale offshore site, and should generate enough electricity to power 400,000 homes, the partners in the joint venture, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid, Inc., said.

In total, 62 General Electric Haliade-X wind turbines will be installed, each a nautical mile apart and each with a generating capacity of 13MW, making a total capacity of 806MW. Two subsea cables will be buried 6ft below the seabed using a jet plough.

“After a long road, the first day of component arrival is finally here,” said Vineyard Wind CEO Klaus S. Moeller. “This is great milestone for New Bedford,

Vineyard Wind and the country.”

The US has slow to enter the offshore wind market, but once it does so the European market hopes there will be opportunities for its expertise to be used.

However, as reported recently in Maritime Journal, if a new bill becomes law it might be an additional hurdle to get over on top of the Jones Act, which only

allows US-made vessels to transport cargo between US ports.

Tne new bill, the Coast Guard Authorisation bill, includes provisions for the crewing of vessels for energy projects that would either mean captains having to ensure their crew nationality matched that of the vessel, or having to crew vessels with American nationals only.

PROJECT TO INVESTIGATE SUBSEA H2 STORAGE

The Port of Aberdeen will work with contractor Subsea7 to investigate the feasibility of storing hydrogen under the water at the new South Harbour.

Named ’H2Shore’, the project will investigate ‘the most effective technological approach’ to storing the gas and decide what location would be the most appropriate, as well as outline a business case, the port says.

Hydrogen is one of the emerging contenders for alternative fuels but it has to be stored at cryogenic temperatures and requires a lot of space, which is partly why it has not gained much of a foothold yet.

Funding is being made available for 32 projects looking at ways to work with production, storage and distribution under the Hydrogen Innovation Scheme

“We are delighted to be

working with Port of Aberdeen on this innovative hydrogen storage project,” said Stian Sande, group strategy director Energy Transitio with, Subsea7. We are looking forward to exploring and evaluating suitable concepts with the goal of enabling and accelerating offshore hydrogen production, storage and infrastructure.”

“Ports have a pivotal role in the transition to hydrogen technologies, contributing to the

journey towards net zero emissions and serving as crucial infrastructure for hydrogen transport and trade,” said Marlene Mitchell, commercial manager, Port of Aberdeen. “This initiative is one of many promising opportunities we’re exploring to position Port of Aberdeen at the forefront of Scotland’s burgeoning hydrogen economy.”

BOSKALIS STEPS IN TO AVERT OIL TANKER DISASTER

Contractors hired for port expansion

Boskalis and BESIX have been announced as contractors for the first phase of the expansion of the Port of Neom near Suez. Two miles of quay walls will be built and the main access channel will be deepened and widened with Boskalis taking over the dredging work. The port is just part of a major project that aims to create a city of floating squares connected to each other by a network of canals.

Incat Tasmania delivers high-speed cat

Boskalis will join forces with the UN and take measures to stop an oil tanker exploding after it has been decaying off the coast of Yemen for more than 30 years.

Boskalis’ subsidiary SMIT Salvage has been contracted by the United Nations Development Programme to remove oil from the FSO Safer in the Yemen, following fears that she could explode after so many years decaying in the Red Sea.

In a UN-coordinated operation, more than a million barrels of oil – about 150,000 tonnes – will be transferred from the decaying tanker into a safe modern tanker before the vessel is disposed of.

“We have been assisting the UN in their endeavours to avert a potential massive environmental and humanitarian disaster off the coast of Yemen since 2021,” said Peter Berdowski, CEO, Boskalis.

”We are extremely delighted that these efforts and the perseverance of the UN to raise the necessary funds has brought us to this agreement. Following a long planning period, our salvage experts are keen to get to work and to remove the oil from the Safer.

Averting disaster

The Boskalis vessel Ndeavor will depart for Dijibouti imminently from its home port of Rotterdam, stocked with all the necessary salvage equipment to complete the mission.

Once the vessel and its cargo tanks are declared safe, a UN purchased Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) will come alongside, at which point the ship-to-ship oil pumping operation can commence. The tanks of the Safer will

subsequently be cleaned and the residual water will also be transferred into the VLCC.

The entire onsite operation is expected to be completed within two months. Once the Safer is declared clean and empty, it will be prepared for towing to a scrapping yard under the responsibility of the UN.

The Safer is a Floating Storage and Offloading facility moored approximately 9km off the Red Sea coast of Yemen and 50km northeast of the port of Hodeida. Built in 1976 as an oil tanker and converted in 1987 to be a floating storage facility, the Safer is single-hulled and believed to contain an estimated 1.14 million barrels of light crude oil.

But the vessel has not been maintained since 2015 because of the conflic\n\ deavourt in Yemen and it has decayed to the point where it could explode or break apart, which would have disastrous environmental and humanitarian effects on the region.

A bespoke high-speed catamaran has been delivered by Incat Tasmania to Daezer Ferry of South Korea. El Dorado Express is an Incat Hull 099 and will operate between Pohang and Ulleung to take tourists and residents between the islands. Incat Tasmania says its wave-piercing hull shape and centrebow arrangement gives passengers a smooth ride in a variety of sea states.

Medical support given to Dogger Bank

Global security and technical firm RMI will provide on-site medical support and services for Dogger Bank, which when completed will be the world’s biggest offshore wind farm. “Through this latest expansion, RMI is at the forefront of the industry, keeping personnel in the harsh, hazardous, and remote location of Dogger Bank safe,” the company says. RMI offers 24/7 topside medical support and assistance as well as qualified medics to treat crew when Dogger Bank is operational.

We are extremely delighted that these efforts and the perseverance of the UN to raise the necessary funds has brought us to this agreement. Following a long planning period, our salvage experts are keen to get to work and to remove the oil from the Safer

FRENCH OFFSHORE WIND RESEARCH WILL TACKLE THE ENVIRONMENT BRIEFS

Multi-GW floating pipeline agreed

An offshore wind pipeline off Spain and Portugal has been agreed that will look to generate more than 10GW of electricity, with 2.6GW of solar, wind and hydro already under way. BW Ideol and Elawan Energy, owned by ORIX, already work together in Japan on floating offshore wind projects currently under development. The agreement covers several commercial-scale projects and a range of tenders is expected to be announced in the coming months.

Largest cargo ship docks at Antwerp

The Port of Antwerp has welcomed the world’s largest container ship, MSC Loreto, proving the facility is more than capable of handling the world’s biggest vessels. MSC Loreto has a 24,346 total TEU capacity, and is heading for the UK’s Felixstowe with her range of cargo, which includes plastics, rubber, raw materials and furniture. When Antwerp laid on tours for people keen to see her arrival, tickets were snapped up almost immediately.

Management decisions at Rotterdam

Boudewijn Siemons has been appointed interim CEO and COO at the Port of Rotterdam with effect from July 15. Siemons is COO and will combine both positions until a new CEO has been officially appointed to replace Allard Castelein, who steps down after almost a decade. Vivienne de Leeuw will stay on as CFO, with an extension to her term of office of four years.

The first French offshore wind research platform has been launched to try to research and tackle long-standing environmental issues associated with the sector.

Backed by an innovative €8.2 million R&D programme, DRACCAR will study the whole ecosystem, in particular birds, marine mammals and fish, but also wind parameters, including the structure behaviour and the movement of sediments.

“The strong support from the Normandy region and the European Union, as well as the synergies that continue to be built between the DRACCAR partners, constitute a solid foundation for the innovative research work that is being carried out,” said Herveline Gaborieau, executive director of France Energies Marines, one of the project’s supporters.

”The various field data that are being collected and the multidisciplinary nature of this programme will enable us to produce results with high added

value for all the players in the offshore wind energy sector.”

Project scope

DRACCAR intends to respond to the need for long-term acquisition of field data with the instrumentation of a measuring mast located off Fécamp.

This offshore research platform is coupled with a large-scale multidisciplinary R&D programme with an initial budget of €8.2m. The programme, called DRACCAR, aims to improve understanding of the interactions between offshore wind energy and the environment, to optimise the design of wind turbines and to co-construct a permanent observation network of the maritime seafronts.

Some of the topics to be researched include marine megafauna - mainly mammals, fish, and birds - to characterise the use of the area and assess the associated effects, a study of fishery resources and hydrosedimentary processes.

This data exploitation will be

carried out within the framework of an innovative multidisciplinary R&D programme with an initial budget of €8.2 million, of which €4.9 million is supported by the ERDF and €950,000 by the Normandy Region.

France Energies Marines, the French institute for energy transition dedicated to offshore wind and ocean energy, will ensure the overall coordination of the project, the steering of the work carried out on marine megafauna and wind, the co-steering of the ecosystem approaches, and will contribute scientifically to all the topics addressed. The project is also supported by the Institute for the Energy Transition dedicated to offshore renewable energies, the Universities of Caen and Le Havre Normandy, INSA Rouen Normandy and the Normandy Region.

Dutch to spend €180m on shore power

The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management says it will spend €140 million on shore power installations within seaports, added to €40 million from the climate fund. From 2030, European ports will have to implement the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, which means they will have to provide large vessels such as container ships and cruise liners with shore power.

TS Queen Mary moved for repair

The Clyde steamer TS Queen Mary, launched in 1933 and at the time the largest ship ever built for the Clyde, has moved to the Govan Graving Docks, where a year-long restoration and repair project will begin. ‘Friends of the TS Queen Mary’ have raised £millions, including £1 million from an anonymous donor, to get her back on the water as a museum that will set sail in 2025.

ANOTHER MARINE DEATH HIGHLIGHTS ‘SHIPPING’S DEADLY PROBLEM’

The Dutch Safety Board has begun an investigation into a fatal accident that happened in the North Sea near the Dutch port of Ijmuiden, when a launch deckhand was transferring from a pilot boat to a seagoing vessel.

Details of the incident are scant as the investigation is ongoing, but the safety board confirmed that a pilot boat crew member became trapped between both vessels as the pilot boat came alongside the larger vessel.

It is the fifth fatality this year, says Gary Clay, of the recently set up Fathom Safety Ltd, which was established by experienced marine pilots him and Andy Birley to educate ship’s crews, pilots and shore-based technical staff in pilot ladder safety.

”The shipping industry has a deadly problem,” Clay says. ”Pilot transfer accidents are an increasing issue and the resulting fatalities and accidents are a blight on our industry’s safety record. The issue of pilot transfer accidents is not a new one, however a new generation of safety focused maritime pilots are increasingly concerned about

Nearthlab, a leading provider of autonomous drone solutions, is working with Nordex SE to foster efficient and safe blade inspections across European wind farms.

The latest collaboration marks the fourth consecutive partnership with top turbine manufacturers after General Electric, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Vestas.

“Knowing that the biggest suppliers see much value in Nearthlab’s services fills us with pride,” said Jay Choi, co-founder and CEO of Nearthlab.

“We’ll treat this partnership not just as another feather in our cap but an opportunity to help more wind farms make the most out of their operations with optimised inspection technology.”

Catching on

The initial phase of the project involved windfarms in Finland and Portugal.

the issues surrounding pilot ladder safety.”

Clay says education - or lack of it - is at the root of the issue, with crews not being ’wilfully negligent or lax’, but rather having received no formal training in pilot transfer as it is not part of any formal qualification.

“This has allowed bad practice to creep into the industry and this is ultimately what is causing the accidents we are now seeing,” he says.

He highlights three main areas of concern - non-compliant ladders, being damaged or worn, or even counterfeit; noncompliant rigs, where ladders have not been rigged up safely;

and vessels that are noncompliant by design.

“As pilots we’ve seen some pretty scary securing arrangements upon reaching the deck of a ship that send shivers down your back,” he says.

Fathom Safety has now designed a 3D training package to try to improve knowledge and raise standards in the industry, Clay says.

“Pilot transfer is, and will remain, an area of risk due to its very nature but we believe we can reduce this risk through education and ensure our colleagues across the globe go home safely at the end of the day,” he says.

DRONE LED - THE FUTURE OF WIND FARM INSPECTIONS

Notably, inspections were handled by a single licensed pilot instead of the usual two-man squad, which lent further credibility to the efficiency and reliability of Nearthlab’s solutions.

Nearthlab is an AI-powered autonomous inspection platform for infrastructure inspection facilities. Since its launch in 2015, the company has helped windfarms around the world automate and optimise blade inspections. The platform’s

autonomous drone takes no more than 15 minutes to carry out an out-and-out inspection.

Data collected from the inspection is uploaded onto Zoomable, Nearthlab’s cloudbased analytics platform, which are then used to give insight into what is needed to optimise O&M procedures.

Following its recent successes, Nearthlab is set to expand its reach to wind farms in Spain and Italy in the coming weeks.

SAFEHAVEN DELIVERS FIRST OF 3 PILOT BOATS TO MOROCCO

An Interceptor 48 Pilot boat will be setting sail for Morocco as part of a contract with Boluda Tanger Med and Safehaven Marine

taken into account

Ireland-based boat builder Safehaven has delivered its first of three Interceptor 48 Pilot boats for Boluda Tanger Med since the contract was signed in 2021.

The trio will run on Caterpillar C9.3 470hp engines with electronics by Furuno.

The first of the three, VB Mouna, takes the total number of patrol boats delivered by Safehaven to 60 worldwide.

VB Mouna is 14.9m in length, and one of her unique features, says Safehaven, is a sliding platform adjustable reach pilot boarding ladder/platform, which raises the pilot up to 1.2m above deck. It is accessed from the opposing side to boarding, which means the pilot can transverse quickly and safely across the foredeck.

“The distance from the ship’s side for the boarding platform itself is adjustable in three stages and can be set to

Commercial liferafts to be launched at Seawork

Marine safety equipment specialist Ocean Safety will launch its 14 and 16-person commercial liferafts at Seawork, Europe’s biggest on-water commercial marine and workboat expo. this year.

With recent changes to the ISO 9650 regulations allowing for a maximum capacity of up to 16 people, Ocean Safety has expanded its Ocean ISO liferaft range to include these larger capacity rafts.

“We’re delighted to be presenting these new additions to our ISO-compliant commercial liferaft range, which are ideal for UK registered small commercial craft,” said Ocean Safety managing director Alistair Hackett.

“The regulation changes mean that a

vessel approved to carry 12 passengers and two crew can now carry a single 14-person liferaft with SOLAS B pack, where previously it would have had to carry two liferafts, therefore reducing stowage space required, decreasing capital outlay and ongoing servicing costs.”

Designed and manufactured to meet the needs of vessels complying with the SOLAS/MED requirements, the Ocean SOLAS Throw-Over Ellipse Liferaft is also now available as a MER (Red Ensign) approved liferaft to support UK flagged commercial vessels.

Universally sized, the liferaft’s cylindrical container has been designed to fit specifically into the existing cradles and mountings onboard most commercial vessels, offering ferries, crew transfer vessels, tugs and superyachts the option of being equipped with the Ocean SOLAS throw-over liferafts without needing to upgrade their onboard stowage.

EXHIBITOR

New Zealand RIB maker Rayglass Boats will be making its debut at Seawork this year with a range of boats it aims to launch on the commercial marine market through distributor PB Europe.

Protector RIBs are available in a range of sizes and power, and visitors to Speed, which precedes the main Seawork event on June 12 on the Isle of Wight, will get the chance to try out a 11.5m Targa 380 with twin Mercury Verado engines.

Provisionally aimed at the leisure market and finding their place as support boats in the Olympics, Americas Cup and Sail GP events, Protector RIBs are now being launched on the European commercial market via Seawork.

“This will be our first step into commercial marine in Europe, the first event of the year,” says Andy Andrews, brand manager of Protector RIBs with the agent Ancasta Group. “We are bringing the Targa 380 to target coastguards, border force, the MOD – it’s a cabin RIB and Seawork will be our first input.”

The RIBs can do speeds of more than 50 knots in all sea states, he says, thanks to a special hull design.

“At that speed there is still no danger of the onboard equipment being smashed around or

falling off its mount,” he says. “It’s an amazing seakeeping boat.”

It’s the result of 30 years’ research and development by the company in New Zealand, where the vessels are built and where a new factory is planned to be opened by Christmas – a sign of faith in the future – and Andrews does not rule out a factory in Europe down the line.

“Stability comes from its hull design and high speeds are achievable in high seas as

One of Volvo Penta’’s regular customers has chosen the D16-650 for three new pilot boats.

Twin installation Volvo Penta D16-650 IMO III engines have been chosen to power three pilot boats due to be delivered to the Swedish west coast this year.

Sjöfartsverket, the Swedish Maritime Administration, will replace existing vessels operating at Gothenberg, Marstrand and Lysekil.

Sjöfartsverket is no stranger to Volvo Penta, which powers almost half of the boats that the administration operates.

To meet strict public procurement requirements, the vessels must have speeds of at least 25 knots and be able to operate up to 15nm from a safe harbour.

They also have to accommodate 10 people including two crew, have two drive lines and no diesel generator on board, using 24V DC power.

The engines have to hold more than 16 litres and meet IMO III requirements, and the propulsion system needs instant access to the torque and quick throttle response in case the vessel needs to quickly accelerate away from the suction of a large vessel and its wake.

Sea trials of the engines were carried out in Finland earlier this year, where Kewatec is building the boats.

VOLVO PENTA ENGINES SELECTED FOR NEW SWEDISH PILOT BOATS

Volvo Penta says results have been promising, with acceleration specifications met.

“From a sustainability point of view,” says Patrik Frick, Ship Management at Sjöfartsverket, “the sea trials have demonstrated that the new D16 IMO III has a fuel saving of around 15% at 100% load, in conjunction with the Humphree trim system, when compared with six other similar size vessels in our fleet. This result has exceeded our expectations and is a benefit for our operations.”

“The fuel savings in this application of our D16 IMO III solution demonstrate how – by

continually improving the efficiency and performance of every Volvo Penta product – we can keep delivering incremental improvements in sustainability outcomes,” said Jan-Willem Vissers, director Global Marine Commercial at Volvo Penta.

“Our primary focus remains on innovating tomorrow’s premium sustainable marine propulsion solutions – plus we are equally responsible for advancing today’s best practice.”

BMT WINS MOD TRAINING DEAL FOR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

BMT has revealed exclusively to Maritime Journal that it has won a contract from the Ministry of Defence to train admiralty pilots and tug masters in manoeuvring the Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers (QECC).

The company’s five, fully networked ship and tug bridge simulator suite is fully optimised for pilotage and tug teams to practise manoeuvring and berthing strategies for the two vessels, which are based at Portsmouth on the south coast.

The latest iteration of the simulation platform is supported by hydrographic dynamic S-100 data, which provides hydraulic and hydrodynamic synthetic environments to deliver the highest levels of precision e-navigation, situational awareness and realism, BMT says.

“BMT’s innovative solution will enable the admiralty pilots at Portsmouth to accelerate training throughput and enhance delivery of sustainable distributed training, especially in highly complex tow-outs and ship manoeuvring situations,” the company says.

“This project offers an important training capability, which will be vital to developing and sustaining the skills of admiralty pilots and Serco tug masters in handling the nation’s flagships, the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers,” said Nick Randall, King’s Harbour Master Portsmouth at UK Ministry of Defence.

Admiralty pilots will undergo ’high-octane training in port’ at BMT’s facility in Fareham, near Portsmouth, where the interactive simulation allows an immersive synthetic port

environment underpinned by what BMT calls ’unsurpassed dynamic and granular tidal and water level data’ supported by hydrodynamic modelling.

“Our talented software team’s fusion and stitching together of the company’s highest standard hardware and ‘BMT Rembrandt’ software platform is the very latest of its ‘navy mastery modelling’ that helps to shape the process of learning for current and future admiralty pilots, including operators of other specialist/capital ship classes such as aircraft carriers and assault ships, enabling them to achieve competency and to navigate securely and reliably in port and in restricted/complex waterways,” said Dr Phil Thompson, Maritime Products director at BMT.

The flagship Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carries - HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales - are the biggest warships ever built for the Royal Navy, and the most advanced.

BMT appoints new chairman

UK-based maritime design, engineering and risk management consultancy BMT has appointed a new chairman.

Ian Tyler joined the board on May 1 and will step into the chairmanship in June to replace Charles Packshaw, who has been on the board for nine years.

Tyler has experience with listed public companies in executive and non-executive director capacities. across sectors including energy, infrastructure, technology, defence and engineering.

He is the former CEO of Balfour Beatty and has board experience with companies such as BAE Systems, Cairn Energy and Anglo American.

“I’m delighted to welcome Ian to BMT at this exciting time as we build on the strong foundations we have created and maximise the impact we can deliver for our customers,” said BMT chief executive Sarah Kenny,

“In BMT I see a business that brings together amazingly talented people to work on projects that matter,” said Tyler.

Seawork exhibitor Williams Shipping has launched two pilot boats at Portsmouth International Port.

Willserve and Willfreedom are both 14.9m fast launch Interceptor 48s, built by Safehaven Marine, also a Seawork exhibitor. They have been launched at Portsmouth to increase the flexibility at the port, which is seeing more cruise and cargo vessels using the port that will need safe guidance of pilots who will use the boats to access the ships and guide them in and out of the port at any time of day and in all sorts of weather.

Williams Shipping is Hampshire based and is now in its fifth generation of the Williams family owners, going back 129 years.

The company operates a fleet of more than 20 workboats and vessels and says it has the UK’s largest registered fleet of barges, which include dedicated wind turbine blade transport.

“Williams Shipping has looked for an opportunity to expand further across the South Coast,” said managing director Philip Williams. “This opportunity to work alongside Portsmouth International Port opens many doors, enabling them to further supporting the marine industry. Willserve and Willfreedom are great additions to our fleet and we look forward to having them in service supporting

“Portsmouth International Port’s growth is vital to the city’s economy,” said Cllr Steve Pitt, of Portsmouth City Council, which owns the port. “Not only does the port provide £9.8million of revenue that goes straight back into the council’s budget, which helps us provide essential services, it also acts as an engine that generates £189m for the local economy every year.

“This new agreement will give a major boost for the port’s growth ambitions, and help them fulfil their aims they set out in their 20 year Masterplan that was published last year.”

“I’ve been working closely with Philip and the team at Williams Shipping to ensure a smooth start to the new service” said harbour master Ben McInnes. “I can’t wait to get started on this new chapter for the pilotage service here in Portsmouth.”

ePROPULSION INBOARD MOTORS POWER UP FOR SEAWORK

First time exhibitor and integrated marine electric propulsion company ePropulsion will be showcasing its I-Series and H-Series range of inboard

ePropulsion’s I-Series range of inboard motors are suitable for workboats and vessels between 15’ to 60’ and sit alongside its more powerful H-Series motors.

Designed for boats between 60’ to 100’ with a full displacement of up to 200 tonnes, the H-Series inboards are suitable for smaller passenger vessels, commercial fishing boats, pilot boats and barges.

Magnet motors

Both systems are designed for OEMs and fleet operators, using ePropulsion’s pioneering permanent magnet motor technology and range of LiFePO4 batteries delivering between 10kW and 250kW of power.

Created as modular systems, range and power requirements can be extended by adding motors, controllers and batteries.

motors at Seawork this year

ePropulsion’s electric motors are compact units typically 50-60% smaller and lighter than the equivalent diesel engine counterparts, which improves hull and propulsion efficiency, as well as saving space.

Fleet operators can also use remote access to monitoring them in real-time, produce customisable data and allow for system management.

The company recently fitted an H-Series 60kW inboard to

a Thames Marine Services workboat on the River Thames in London. The 10.3m vessel, Albert, has a large passenger cabin and open rear deck and is regularly used for filming, diving and safety work. The vessel’s new electric motor will match the seven knot working speeds achieved with its previous diesel engine.

ePropulsion’s long-range outboard motors and POD drives are regularly used by marina operators, harbour authorities and commercial operators for smaller workboats. As part of the Zanzibar Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries Blue Economy programme, ePropulsion’s Navy 3.0 kW outboards were recently trialled and adopted onboard vessels servicing the country’s seaweed farms. These environmentally vulnerable sites supply the global pharmaceutical sector and are essential to the local economy.

The project will make many savings in both financial and environmental terms, reducing staffing and fuel and maintenance costs, with recharging taking place primarily via solar panels fitted to the boats.

Scania expands IMO Tier III engine range

Seawork exhibitor Scania has expanded its engine portfolio with seven new IMO Tier III-compliant engines.

Scania Power Solutions has increased its offering for pilot and patrol boats, crew transfer and supply vessels and ferries with seven IMO Tier III-compliant marine engines.

The requirements state that all new-build vessels sailing in an ECA (Emission Control Area) that are 500gt and above, with a length of at least 24 metres and an engine output of 130 kW or more, must comply with various nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions limits.

The ECAs have applied to North America and the US Caribbean since 2016 and the Baltic and North Sea since 2021.

The Sweden-based firm says its new D113 products are ready this year and show a commitment to reduce NOx emissions.

“We are strengthening our offering of low NOx marine propulsion power systems to give our customers a wider selection of ratings as well as higher output. From an installation perspective the engines are identical to our existing IMO Tier III products so our customers will recognise both engine and exhaust after-treatment systems,” said Henrik Nilsson, director Product Management.

The seven engines - 257kW, 280kW, 284kW, 331kW, 368kW, 405kW and 441kW - can also be equipped with diesel particulate filters, Oleg Nikitin, product manager, Marine Power Solutions, told Maritime Journal.

Marine Fire Safety to show new liferaft

A new 14-person liferaft will be showcased at Seawork this year by exhibitors Marine Fire Safety.

Targeted at the small commercial and charter market, the raft provides a spacesaving solution, says MD Mark Bresnahan, because until recently a vessel carrying 14 crew would need two rafts to meet onboard safety criteria.

”Whether our customers purchase or hire their rafts, this 14-person ISO liferaft option offers a significant cost saving per year, not to mention the extra deck space, weight reduction and Seago’s 18 year warranty, all of which are major benefits,” he said.

The liferaft will be on show at Marine Fire Safety’s E13 stand, along with the company’s Stat-X fire suppression systems, and full range of life-saving equipment such as life jackets and options for buying or hiring the equipment.

LANDMARK EVACUATION ORDER FOR SAFETY-FIRST FERRIES

The system will serve as the main evacuation solution on board the new diesel hybrid-electric Interislander ferry fleet operated by KiwiRail to connect the two main islands of New Zealand.

“During the development process of LifeCraft, compactness has been an important parameter all the way through,” said Niels Fraende, vice president of LifeCraft sales at Danish firm Viking Life-Saving Equipment, a long-term Seawork exhibitor.

“For the Interislander ferries as well as any other ship that will be a major asset in terms of both safety, comfort, and the demand for space on deck to utilise for other purposes.”

New ground

Viking’s LifeCraft system comprises four 203-person selfpropelled survival craft bringing together the advantages of premium lifeboat, liferaft and evacuation system technology in one hybrid solution.

One of the areas where the Viking LifeCraft system is breaking new ground is the digitalisation of the entire predeparture safety check.

Instead of taking up the crew’s time and relying on manual processes such as testing combustible fuel engines, the captain or safety officer has the readiness status of the system available at the touch of a button directly from the vessel’s bridge.

The LifeCraft is also a compact system. All system elements – from the EscapeWay 4-chute system to the four 203-person capacity inflatable craft – are stored together in the same unit, which can be either placed on deck or built into the side of the vessel.

Because it’s so compact it is also weight saving, and as a consequence reduces vessel fuel consumption.

Should it be brought into action, the LifeCraft system can evacuate more than 800 people in just 30 minutes. After evacuation, each of the system’s four craft will take advantage of their all-electric propulsion setup to move into and maintain a safe position while waiting for help to arrive.

If needed, the four electric engines, combined with a high

level of seaworthiness, means that each craft can use its 360-degree manoeuverability and acceleration to support SAR operations even in severe weather conditions and high sea states.

In this way, the LifeCraft system could enhance the overall rescue capability of the Interislander ferries, because it has the additional feature of being able to rescue people from the water if an incident occurs on another vessel in the area.

For more than 60 years, KiwiRail ferries has provided a connection for 800,000 annual passengers between New Zealand’s North and South islands. To futureproof the country’s main link across the Cook Strait, the operator is replacing the fleet with two new purpose-built ships, currently in the advanced design phase at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea.

The first new Interislander ferry is expected to assume fullscale operation across the Cook Strait in late 2025, with the second ship to follow in 2026.

In what has been called an industry first for ship evacuation, Viking’s LifeCraft system is bound for installation on its first series of newbuild ferries

Marine vessel engine maker Cummins says it is spending $10 million on building its first specialist rebuild European facility.

The new high horsepower engine rebuild centre will be sited in Krakow, Poland and the company says it should be operational by the end of the year.

The new 4,400m2 centre will replace one of four existing Cummins sites in Poland, where it has been operating for 30 years.

The new one will feature new equipment and technology that makes it more sustainable, such as a high-tech microbiological wash bay that re-uses 100% of the water it uses and solar panels.

The facility will have two 15t overhead cranes, jib cranes, a test cell with engine dynamometer, paint booth and bake-andblast cleaner.

It will also have two disassembly bays, four high horsepower and three mid-range heavy-duty assembly bays.

“The rebuild process – including complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, the replacement of major components, design improvements, and testing – is dedicated to extending the life of the original engine,” says the company. “In many cases, these steps can also enhance the engine’s fuel efficiency and

performance, thus making the product life cycle more sustainable.”

“Once the rigorous engine rebuild process is complete, a product can be considered ‘as new’, delivering performance that is the same or better than the original engine, so the investment is sure to prove beneficial for our

current and future partners,” said Marek Matuszewski, country leader for Poland, the Baltic States & Ukraine. “This is a strategic move globally in that it expands the range of services in the region while expanding storage and distribution capacity, including a six-fold increase in warehouse space.”

Frog Environmental

Bubble Tubing for Coastal Sound Attenuation

Bubble Tubing is used to create a bubble curtain, a vertical wall of air bubbles that controls sound from construction activities and protects marine receptors. A unique perforated pipe that allows air to escape as fine bubbles, the pipe is weighted to the bed and air is pumped through the tube using a compressor. The compressor size and output is dictated by water depth, current, length and diameter of the tube, alongside the optimal airflow for sound mitigation to work correctly. John F Hunt Regeneration was the first to use this innovative product to control noise from piling operations on the River Tyne. A 90m

long double line was designed and an agreement to use this new technology was obtained from the Environment Agency and the Marine Management Organisation to include acoustic measurements during piling, with and without operation of the bubble curtain, confirming the performance of Bubble Tubing. Sound reductions greater than 20dB were recorded when the bubble curtain was in operation. This 99% reduction brought worst-case noise levels down to 140db at 750m from the piling site, demonstrating assumptions made at the design stage were correct, achieving environmental protection as well as delivering operational efficiencies on site.

Strategic Marine

GM Commercial, Hans Randklev

Ahead of Seawork 2023, Strategic Marine’s GM Commercial Hans Randklev gives a snapshot of where the company is at when it comes to latest designs.

Strategic Marine is in a good place.

Wind farms are on the up, and while Europe has been a rich market as it reaches maturity, Asia – specifically Taiwan, Japan and Korea – is now taking the business seriously too.

Making an appearance at Seawork is the latest vessel – a StratCat 27 (SC27) enhanced from the BMT design StratCat 26 – and the builder’s first proof-of concept parallel hybrid CTV. It has been sold to the Purus Marine Group’s HST Marine. Three hybrid-ready sister vessels were also delivered to Manor Renewable Energy last year.

With this buoyant demand for crew transfer vessels has come a burgeoning demand for comfort and safety on them; a ‘magpie effect’, as some put it, where operators can afford to request more add-ons for crews that may have to sit for longer hours on a CTV as wind farms get further and further offshore.

Strategic Marine, a regular exhibitor at Seawork, besides safety and ease of operability, has placed comfort at the heart of its new StratCat 27, which is here in Southampton on the quay at VB23.

It is Asia’s first parallel hybrid vessel, says GM Commercial Hans Randklev, and when hanging around a wind farm can run purely on battery power, significantly reducing its operating carbon footprint.

Each vessel is optimised for its own particular energy needs, he says, but the additional weight of any extra batteries has been accounted for in the fabrication of the

vessel and all speed requirements are still met by the Caterpillar C32 engines.

The vessel has been designed and outfitted so there’s more room inside: the seats are the kind you get in business class on aeroplanes, with reclining seats, USB ports on each arm and options for streaming onboard entertainment.

“What we understand from our clients is that over a long transit time, they want comfort and we want to be one shipbuilder that considers this,” says Randklev.

“There’s an intangible benefit to more comfort for the crew, too: we are hearing that it improves the performance of the crew once they are on site.”

There’s also plenty of work coming from the oil and gas industry, not necessarily because of more drilling, although new explorations are taking place, but because of the existing 15-year age cap on vessels operating in certain oil fields.

“This is a replacement cycle,” says Randklev. “Vessels are coming up for renewal so the new fleet requirement will come into play and we are well positioned to bring in the next generation.

“Staying true to our focus on onboard comfort, Strategic Marine also developed our latest generation of fast crew boats with a gyrostabiliser to reduce vessel motions and improve vessel capability and operational uptime for our clients.”

Fuels of the future

The whole industry is talking about what to replace diesel with as the world heads down the decarbonisation path.

Strategic Marine is being cautious, but continues its drive for this plan nonetheless. “We’ve talked a lot about this and it’s not clear what fuel of the future will be preferred by our clients yet, however for relatively small and fast vessels, considerations of space and weight are critical,” says Randklev. “We therefore look favourably upon fuels with high energy density that do not require cryogenic storage and that can be made widely available over the next few years, such as biodiesel and methanol.

“Full electric propulsion is also very interesting for certain operations where local infrastructure is available and the operational profile is suitable. This can also be looked at together with fuel cells or generators running on cleaner fuel alternatives to extend the operating range of the vessel while keeping within space and weight restrictions.

“Banking support in this drive is also important to enable multiple key parts of the entire ecosystem to enhance their speciality and contributions. And we hope that with time this will improve, with recent high emphasis on sustainable developments.”

What we understand from our clients is that over a long transit time, they want comfort and we want to be one shipbuilder that considers this ‘‘

HIGH-POWER BATTERIES ROLLED OUT FOR NEW FAST FERRY

Damen has selected its battery system for use on its new electric fast ferry in Lower Saxony, northwest Germany

German ferry operator AG Reederei Norden-Frisia has partnered Damen Shipyards in designing and building the ferry, and will install a battery system by EST-Floattech to make the vessel fully electric.

The company claims it gives it a speed of 16 knots and the ability to re-charge within half an hour.

Known as the E-Cat Ferry, the vessel had to be developed from scratch because a standard vessel would have found it impossible to navigate because of the shallow waters in the region, between Norddeich and the island of Norderney.

The new catamaran will be 32 metres in length, have capacity for 150 passengers, and a battery comprising Octopus Series modules by Dutch energy storage firm EST-Floattech.

Frederique Hoppe, marketing and communication manager with EST-Floattech, said the high-power lithium-ion cells contain a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathode and have been fully profiled to fit with any application.

“The energy/sailing profile determine how batteries can be applied optimally to reduce emissions,” she said. “For ships that can be charged regularly like ferries, workboats, patrol vessel and inland vessels, fully battery electric propulsion is very well possible.

“For seagoing vessels, we see hybrid power systems being applied. With these systems it is possible to do the last miles/port calls zero emission and run in the harbour the cranes and hotel loads battery electric as well.

“For the large ocean-going cargo vessels, we expect that batteries will be combined with alternative fuels like methanol, hydrogen, synthetic dieselDamen’s E-Cat or ammonia. In the end all these alternative fuels need to have a battery system to optimise the power system. Therefore, we expect that in the future every vessel will have a battery system (small or big) installed.”

When it comes to the cost difference between batteries and diesel, the picture is less clear, she says.

“Should we only look at the price of the diesel or do we need to look at the maintenance of the engine as well?” she says. “For batteries we can look at the price of electricity, but we know the system needs less maintenance. A lot of factors can be taken into consideration when looking at cost, which makes it difficult to put a number to this. In the end the focus with our customers is on the total cost of ownership.

“When including all investment and running costs we see many attractive business cases for hybrid and full electric systems. Furthermore, we also see that our customers can better win their contracts when they have ships that can sail zero emission or with reduced emissions.

“Lastly, local and international regulations are forcing ship owners and operators to reduce emissions as well.”

Hoppe also says the batteries have been rigorously tested for safety, which is paramount when bearing in mind the few high-profile cases of lithium batteries catching fire. In fact they do not catch fire any more often than other batteries tend to, but they are notoriously difficult to put out, sometimes reigniting four or five times even after being submerged in water.

“Our company has a safe-by-design mentality, implementing safety measures in the software and in the hardware of the system,” Hoppe told Maritime Journal. “Within our new Octopus Series modules cell-to-cell propagation is even prevented, limiting possible damage to only one of the cells in the batteries. And there are several classification bureaux that have high standards when it comes to approving batteries for vessels. We’ve rigorously tested our battery system according to the standards of DNV, Lloyd’s Register and Bureau Veritas, they’ve witnessed the tests and our batteries meet their high requirements.

“As safety is so important on board vessels, we wanted to share that we now have maritime type approvals from three highly valued classification bureaux.”

Case Study

46M BUNKERING TANKER REBUILT TO HYBRID WITH ESCO POWER PARALLEL HYBRID SYSTEM

Northern Skagerrak is a 46m tanker vessel collecting oil engine room waste, sludge, from ships arriving at the Port of Gothenburg, around 6.000 incoming ships each year. The vessel has undergone conversion from conventional diesel propulsion to parallel hybrid and is expected to save 680 tons of carbon dioxide contributing to the Gothenburg Port of Authority plan to reduce carbon emissions at the port by 70% by 2030. The main goal is for the vessel to operate with zero emissions in the harbor of Gothenburg.

The vessel receives a complete Esco Power parallel hybrid solution with Parallel Hybrid Transmission PHT, characterized by its exclusive built-in ratio allowing to bring all the installed electric power down for the propulsion, and from the Hybrid

machines and tailor made for the user propulsion modes. With hybrid propulsion, the vessel is able to use the electricity stored in batteries or generated by the auxiliary engines to propel the vessel, and the other way around, it enables the main engines to generate electricity and recharge the batteries.

Amogy Inc is to introduce what it claims will be “the world’s first ammonia-powered zeroemission ship”.

MJ has previously focused on choices the towage industry faces deciding which ‘green’ option to adopt for their new investments.

To add to those choices, Amogy is retrofitting a 1957-built tug, originally adopting diesel generators and electric motors with its ammonia-to-power system using a 1MW version of the “unique” system. This is three times larger than its ammonia-fuelled semi-truck field, which was tested earlier this year. Its ammonia-to-power technology feeds the fuel through its cracking modules integrated into a hybrid fuel cell system powering electric motors.

Brooklyn, New York-based Amogy says ammonia is predicted to become “the leading fuel source for the world’s giant cargo ships by 2050”, and points out that around 3% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are from international shipping, a figure expected to increase as other sectors reduce their share of global emissions.

Exploring this route to zero-carbon shipping in a small but relatively powerful vessel is perhaps a stepping stone to such technology in larger shipping in general, but with Yara

AMOGY REVEALS AMMONIAPOWERED TUG DESIGN

integrating the ammonia system; and New York-based Feeney Shipyard, from whom Amogy sourced the tug.

Amogy is also working with its electrical and systems integrator Unique Technical Solutions for the electrical and systems work involved in scaling up the powerpack for pre-commercial use.

Safety with such developments is important, and Amogy is working with United States Coast Guard and classification society DNV to ensure close alignment with maritime safety standards.

Clean Ammonia providing fuel for the demonstration, planned for an inland waterway in New York later this year, the fuel supplier sees ammonia becoming a nextgeneration fuel. It contains properties ideally suited for the hydrogen economy produced with renewable energy resulting in zero greenhouse gas emissions from “well to wake”.

Other partners in the project include Seam, Amogy’s electrical systems integrator; ship design company C-Job Naval Architects,

DNV says that following a high-level feasibility study, Amogy showed “great momentum” in development from that point through various related workshops. Amogy was founded in 2020 by four MIT PhD alumni with a shared vision to enable decarbonisation of the heavy-duty transport sector.

The company has raised $70 million in funding from strategic investors including Amazon, Saudi Aramco, SK Innovation, AP Ventures and DCVC.

CAUDWELL MARINE ANNOUNCES 300hp OUTBOARD WITH INTEGRATED STEERING

A new diesel outboard and steering system could be a game changer for vessels in the commercial and military markets.

Caudwell Marine says its 300hp V6 turbo-charged industrial diesel engine, due to be delivered in 2024, is the answer to the industry’s ‘demanding expectations’.

As well as the engine, the system features a patented, integrated steering system that it has called ‘Axis Drive’.

The company says the system articulates steering from the lower unit only, with the powerhead and upper leg section remaining stationary in the turn.

“This piece of engineering ensures the propellers are always effectively deployed to deliver full power throughout the turn,” says the company, which is aiming the outboard primarily at commercial and military markets that require high-performance outboards to work day in, day out, in all conditions.

“However, we also expect to see niche

opportunities in the recreational market, where fuel economy, performance and reliability will also be a requirement,” the company says.

Final validation and durability testing are being carried out in the UK before hot environment testing takes place in Dubai –and the firm stresses that launch will only happen once that is complete.

“We know that the market is desperate for a solid and reliable diesel outboard, which delivers the highest level of performance,” said commercial director Peter Ordway. “We are completing our programme of very challenging product testing, so that we are sure to deliver a market-ready product that will perform ‘out of the box’, succeeding where others have failed.”

Caudwell Marine was founded by UK billionaire John Caudwell, the man behind Phones4U, which became one of the UK’s most successful high street retailers.

P&O’s newly commissioned hybrid doubleended ferry is expected to cut fuel use on the Dover-Calais crossing by 40%, delivering major carbon emission savings.

The P&O Pioneer is en route to its home port of Dover UK, where it is expected to go into operation on the English Channel in May 2023.

“The delivery of P&O Pioneer is an important step for P&O Ferries and one that will bring advanced sustainable technology to the Dover-Calais crossing,” said Peter Hebblethwaite, CEO of P&O Ferries.

“Last summer we carried more than one million passengers on this route and are looking forward to an exciting summer ahead with the first of our two new ships.”

Terminal network

The vessel’s first trip to its new home has been aided by DP World’s vast global network of terminals, allowing it to be fully serviced along the way by various specialist teams from within the global firm’s group of companies.

Pioneer has been called the world’s largest double-ended hybrid ferry with two bridges, which means there is no need for it to turn around in ports, saving fuel on every round trip.

The Fusion Class vessel allows P&O Ferries to cut fuel use on each crossing, as it is

ENGLISH CHANNEL FERRY CROSSINGS JUST GOT GREENER

propelled by a combination of fuel and battery power.

Reductions in fuel use and emissions are delivered by the hybrid system, which allows the Pioneer to operate from its energy storage system while manoeuvring or in port.

It is designed to have the capacity to become fully carbon neutral in the future because current generators on the vessel can be removed and replaced with batteries.

The P&O Pioneer is the first of two identical purpose-built Fusion Class sister-ships ordered for the Dover to Calais route, both of which have been registered in Cyprus.

The second ship, P&O Liberte, is expected to join service towards the end of 2023.

RAL DELIVERS FIRST BATTERY SHALLOW PUSHBOAT

Canadian naval architect Robert Allan (RAL) has a new addition to its RApide series: the world’s

rst battery-electric shallow draught pushboat

As the world of towing makes the slow but steady transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly industry, owners now have an expanding range of options to choose from including alternative fuels, battery power, hybrids, mechanical power-train innovations and the aftertreatment of exhaust gases.

These choices have led to vessel configurations finely tuned to suit very specific operational requirements and RAL’s latest marque, designated the RApide 2000-E, is designed to provide terminal assistance in South America’s Amazon river system, performing their core operations purely on battery power via an “innovative” battery/diesel electric arrangement.

HB Poraque, the first of a pair of similar tugs ordered for the same owner, has been delivered to leading South American logistics operator Hidrovias do Brasil S.A., by Belov Engenharia Shipyard in Salvador, Brazil. The second vessel, HB Enguia, was due to be delivered around the time of writing.

Design in detail

The RApide 2000-E design has a DC grid diesel-electric propulsion system comprising two diesel generators, two L-drives and a large battery bank. The arrangement provides for operation in zero-emissions mode, the 600kWh batteries having sufficient endurance to perform the primary role with possible future expansion to 2,000kWh, enabling secondary roles to be performed with zero emissions. The two L-drives each have an input power of 375kW and are diesel-electric to improve efficiency when operating in multiple power modes.

European contributions include two Schottel SRP201L-FP thrusters powered by two permanent magnet electric motors, the electric system designed, manufactured and

integrated by WEG. Two Caterpillar C18 diesel generators provide redundancy and the capability to perform longer missions.

Principle particulars of HB Poraque and HB Enguia include: LOA 20.4m, beam moulded 10m, minimum operating draught 2.2m and normal operating draught 2.4m. The vessels are classed by DNV as inland navigation vessels and include the notation *1A, (Z), Pusher, Battery Power, Amazon/EO, BIS with MLC compliant accommodation provided for up to 10 persons.

RAL’s RApide series shallow-draught pushboats were originally designed for the shallow waters of Canada’s north land and are offered in lengths of 20m to 46m.

They can be propelled by dual, triple or quadruple conventional screws, Z-drives or, for extreme shallow applications, water jets.

Ports of Normandy pledges €900,000 for roadmap

The Ports of Normandy has pledged €900,000 to implement a roadmap that words towards meeting EU rules to set up electric connections for certain ships at ports.

An EU regulation on alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR) sets mandatory targets to make recharging and hydrogen refuelling more accessible in transport, both on roads and shore side at sea and inland ports.

“Maritime ports that see at least 50 port calls by large passenger vessels, or 100 port calls by container vessels, must provide shore-side electricity for such vessels by 2030,” the rules say. “This will not only help reduce the carbon footprint of maritime transport, but also significantly reduce local air pollution in port areas.”

The Ports of Normandy Authority, which

operates Caen-Ouistreham, Cherbourg and Dieppe, has signed an agreement with energy utility EDF to produce the roadmap, which will include the technical and regulatory studies required for putting the ferry and cruise vessel charging infrastructure in place.

“Apart from the studies, which are essential, we have just set a clear timetable: the work should begin in 2024, port after port, quay after quay, so that in 2027, ie three years before the regulatory obligation, Ports of Normandy can offer this service to ferry and cruise companies in all of its three ports,” said Hervé Morin, president of the Normandy Region and Ports of Normandy. “It is by combining ambition and pragmatism that we can advance the fight against climate change. Here is a very concrete example.”

AFIR is part of the ‘European Green Deal’, which sets out plans to make the European Union ‘climate neutral’ by 2050.”

“To reach this target, the EU must reduce its emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels,” it says.

W-TYPE GANGWAY OPTIMISED FOR OFFSHORE WIND FARMS

Kees-Jaap van Nes is senior project manager at Ampelmann and has been overseeing the development of a W-type gangway that he is aiming to unleash on the market by the end of 2023

A naval architect with experience as an engineer and project manager for several major shipping companies, Van Nes understands the shipping world like few others.

“I have a team of engineers,” he says, “and I have a very good lead engineer, who is responsible for aligning the disciplines - from structural, to steel work, design, and motion control. Our team ensures that the correct actuation is there and that it is strong enough and has sufficient power to compensate the motions.

“Unlike most other Ampelmann systems, the W-type is a sold system so it’s crucial to involve the client in all steps of the process. My role as project manager is to liaise between both clients and our own team of engineers to get the best results.”

As a fully integrated tower system with a wide horizontal gangway, this offshore access solution is ideally suited to facilitate the increasing need to build, commission and maintain a growing number of wind turbines. With three W-type systems already sold, the company will need to make good on its performance predictions for the W-type.

Though the W-type is not the first system within Ampelmann’s fleet without the company’s signature hexapod, it is, in some sense, a departure from the company’s well-known gangways.

years, but now we hinge around the tower so we can also compensate the motions there.”

Energy focus

Following the company’s commitment to electrify the entire Ampelmann fleet, the W-type is the first electric system, within its class, in the world.

There are many advantages to electrically controlled systems. Like the company’s electric A-, L- and S-types, the system consumes significantly less energy and has a low carbon footprint.

“This is an important innovation,” Van Nes says. “The W-type is fully electric, or rather it’s fully electrically controlled, and that word is important, because the power is in some cases still hydraulic. This means that, as in the electric A-type, the hydraulics are in a closed system, and we can supply power on demand and use batteries to store and reuse energy for back-up, peak-shaving and regenerative energy.”

Ampelmann says that the results of this are that the power required is only 10% of that of its fully hydraulic systems.

Targeting Innovation

“Ampelmann is founded on Wind, but grown by oil and gas,” Van Nes says, “but now we are moving back to where we started. When setting up wind farms you usually need to bring a lot of equipment and tools, and what our clients want is to bring a pallet with tools and spare parts, which is easier to do with a horizontal gangway. In other words, we needed a system that can always land horizontally and is wide enough to allow safe access for trolleys.

“The typical Ampelmann systems compensate for 6DOF, which stands for six degrees of freedom, so you can compensate for xyz and the three rotations. But now we have 3DOF, luffing, slewing and telescoping. In many ways, these components are an extension of things we have done in the past. We have slewing already, and luffing we’ve done for

Continuous innovation to improve the energy efficiency of its systems has flavoured Ampelmann’s growth as a global company. Improving the design of the W-type is a neverending process that in the short and long term will result in major advances to how Ampelmann designs and constructs its motion-compensated gangways, the company says.

Crucial to this innovation process is the adoption of modularity within the design philosophy. Through modularity and standardisation, the submodules of each system can easily be replaced, repaired, assembled and refurbished, leading to more efficient design loops and enhanced options for customisation. This, Van Nes concludes, ensures that all gangways suit the specific needs of individual clients.

The first W-type is expected to begin operations in Q4 2023.

VESSEL LAUNCHES, BOAT & SHIPBUILDING

VARD INKS NEWBUILD OFFSHORE WIND CSOV CONTRACT

Norway-based Vard will design and build two Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) for UK-based Purus Wind, with an added option for two additional vessels

The two battery-hybrid CSOVs are of Vard 4 19 design, but upgraded to give environmental benefits with a hull design optimised for low fuel consumption and resistance, as well as high operability and comfort.

”These vessels will support a pathway for our clients to decarbonise their operations and to maintain our position as a leader with the lowest carbon offshore wind support fleet,” said Tom Nevin, business head of Purus Wind.

“We are also very excited about the potential of what will be the next generation of a very successful design with the ability convert to methanol with the flexibility of hybrid and zero emission mode.”

Charging at sea

The goal of the project is to power operations with a minimum of additional energy sources to secure environmental benefits.

A sophisticated battery hybrid system prepares the vessels to run with zero emission for periods. Because they are prepared for charging at sea, the vessels can be connected to the power grid in the wind farm/harbour to charge batteries regularly without having to go ashore.

Vard’s design is also prepared for future operation on methanol, providing an additional sustainable option to the operation.

The CSOVs are a highly versatile platform for all wind support operations, focusing on onboard logistics, comfort, large storage capacities and advanced operability.

They will be equipped with a Seaonics Electric Controlled Motion Compensated (ECMC) crane, which allows for always keeping the load close to the crane tip from the deck level to the TP platform helping ensure quick and safe cargo transfer.

The stepless walk-to-work-system is able to work with stepless access in a range from 15 to 30 meters above sea and is suitable for both personnel and cargo transfer.

The hull of the first vessel will be built in Vard in Romania for outfitting, commissioning and delivery will be from from one of Vard’s yards in Norway. The second vessel will be built at Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam.

Delivery for the first vessel will take place in the second quarter of 2025, with the second following in the second quarter of 2026.

VARD to build new North Star CSOVs

Vard has also won a deal to design and build two commissioning service operation vessels (CSOVs) for the UK infrastructure support vessel operator North Star.

The agreement has an option for two additional ships.

North Star, owned by private markets firm Partners Group since 2022, operates the largest wholly UK-owned fleet in the North Sea. The firm has committed to delivering 40 offshore wind ships by 2040 to meet the growing demand for offshore wind operations and maintenance support across the UK and Europe.

The new ships will be of Vard 4 22 design with an optimised hull for low fuel consumption and resistance. The Vard 4 22 design has been developed especially for

North Star, with new methanol ready hybrid-propulsion solutions and an increased number of single cabins.

These vessels are the next in a series of orders North Star has contracted with Vard so far. In 2021, the firm placed four SOV newbuild orders with VARD in Vietnam to

Specialist freight forwarder Deugro Danmark has joined forces with two major players to design and build two specialist wind turbine component transport vessels.

Siemens Gamesa and Amasus Offshore will work with Deugro to bring two newbuilds to market.

Rotra Futura and Rotra Horizon will be customised for carrying offshore wind turbine components and will be operated under a long-term charter agreement between the two firms. They will be built on the basis of the designs of existing vessels Rotra Mare and Rotra Vente, which Deugro says use a unique RoRo and gantry system that reduces risk, loading time and costs.

“The new vessels have been designed to accommodate the increasing size and weight of the next generations of offshore wind turbine components and, at the same time, to ensure best-in-class cargo intake and operational flexibility,” said Hans Henrik Groen, branch manager and managing director of Deugro. “Being and staying at the forefront of wind energy industry requirements build the base of our joint success.”

Rotra Future and Horizon will be 167.6m x 26m, with a stern RoRo ramp, three Liebherr cranes and the gantry system, which allows

FIRMS TEAM UP TO BUILD NEW VESSEL DESIGNS

turbine blades to be stowed in three tiers.

“Energy consumption has been reduced thanks to an aerodynamically and hydrooptimised hull shape, a low-resistance special hull coating and a Wärtsilä engine 15% lower consumption compared to today’s standards,” said Groen.

A hybrid propulsion system and exhaustcleaning system that meet IMO Tier III standards have also been integrated into the vessels, along with waste heat recovery.

“With our record order backlog, we will be installing a significant number of wind turbines at sea globally, with increasingly larger and more complex components,” said Christian Johansen, global commodity manager for Ports & Transportation with Siemens Gamesa. “With this agreement, we have taken another important step towards securing our ability to execute projects safely, on time and at the right cost level.”

H&W LAUNCHES FIRST SHIP FROM YARD FOR 20 YEARS

The first of 23 barges has been delivered to the River Thames-based recycling and waste management firm Cory Group by Harland & Wolff

It is the first vessel to be built at and launched from the Belfast shipyard in 20 years, the last being MV Anvil Point in 2003.

The barge will join Cory’s fleet of tugs and barges, which deal with 785,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste a year, the firm says.

Eighty-nine per cent of that waste is taken to the company’s riverside waste transfer stations and transported by waterway, which Cory claims removes around 100,000 truck journeys from the UK capital’s roads each year. Cory is the largest commercial operator on the River Thames.

Last summer, Cory ordered 12 barges from the Northern Irish shipyard, worth a total of £8.5 million (€9.8 million). The order was then increased by a further 11 vessels, taking the value up to £18.1 million (€20.8 million).

“We are at an exciting period of growth, as construction of our new facility is now under way,” said Cory director of logistics Fran Comerford-Cole. “As well as investing in developing this vital piece of UK infrastructure, we want to ensure that our supply chain supports UK industries such as shipbuilding so Harland & Wolff was a natural partner for us. We are delighted to have received this first barge, which will be deployed into our fleet on the Thames in the coming weeks.”

Harland and Wolff’s shipyard, famous for having built RMS Titanic, which was launched on 31 May, 1911, is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two large drydocks and fabrication halls.

In February 2021 it bought two Scottish yards on the east and west coasts, now known as Harland & Wolff Methil and Harland & Wolff Arnish.

Tersan cuts steel on second methanol CSOV

Turkey’s Tersan shipyard has cut the steel on a second dual-fuel vessel that will be powered by methanol and diesel or HVO.

NB1121 has been ordered by Dutch vessel provider Acta Marine, and will be powered by methanol and either diesel or HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).

Designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS with input from Acta Marine, the two 89m construction service operation vessels (CSOVs) will mainly serve the offshore wind market. They are equipped with Ulstein’s TWIN-X stern and an integrated walk-to-

work gangway system, 3D crane and usual hotel-style accommodation for up to 135 people.

“The CSOVs will be equipped with Motion Compensated Gangway systems supplied from SMST, mounted on the integrated towers with height adjustment and a personnel/cargo lift,2 says Tersan. “Addition to the advanced gangway system, they feature a 3D-motion compensated crane with six tonnes of lifting capacity again supplied by SMST and 500 m2 indoor and 500 m2 outdoor cargo areas.

“The two vessels are aiming to provide a short, efficient and safe transfer of personnel and cargo even in the harsh weather conditions where the level of waves reaches up to three metres. The vessels will provide high agility, operability and workability during the transfer of people and cargo. Optimised on-board logistics, high productivity and high comfort for the crew add great value to the vessels and dual-fuel methanol driven propulsion will provide significant CO2 reduction measures.”

Both vessels are to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2024.

MULTIPLE SUPPORT VESSEL ORDER FOR PURUS WIND

In the early days of offshore wind, existing construction and support vessels were adapted for this new sector of the offshore industry, turbine components themselves often manufactured inland and transported to ports for load-out by road or inland waterway systems.

In August 2023 it will be 20 years since construction started at one of the UK’s first such developments, Kentish Flats Offshore Windfarm in the Thames Estuary. Today turbines five times the 3MW capacity, with individual blade lengths of 107m compared to the 90m complete rotor diameter of the Kentish Flats models, have led to major changes in how the industry handles these new giants during construction, installation and operation.

Subsequent limitations on supply chain access means manufacturing and assembly facilities have had to be built closer to the load-out port, typified by Sif Group’s giant assembly plant at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam. Existing installation and support vessels have been gradually upgraded, including completely new designs to cope with increases in both demand and size.

At the same time, the relentless drive for decarbonisation has influenced the desire for support vessels to match the original principles of wind energy. This aspect is evident with Purus Wind’s multi-vessel order, which comprises seven Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) and a Construction Service Operation Vessel (CSOV).

Damen the builder of choice

Damen Shipyards Fast Crew Suppliers (FCS) has been selected for the CTV element of the package, comprising four FCS 2710 Hybrid and three FCS 3210 Hybrid models. The three larger 32m vessels will be equipped for ultra-low emissions operations, also designed to be upgraded to run on methanol when the opportunity arises. The four slightly smaller FCS 2710s will join three other hybrids ordered from Damen in 2022 for Swansea UK-based HST Marine, a subsidiary company of Purus Wind.

The vessels include latest modifications such as improved wheelhouse window arrangement and bridge console layout with the twin axe hull form ensuring stability and fuel economy as well as providing extensive deck space and accommodation, according to Damen. All seven CTVs have a hybrid battery package integrated into the design for zeroemissions operation and an exhaust gas after-treatment system ensures the vessels are IMO Tier III compliant.

When reviewing the second element of Purus Wind’s order for a Construction Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) it is appropriate again to reflect on another element of how the industry has had to adapt to the changing scale of offshore windfarms.

The construction phase sees a period of intense activity offshore starting with surveys through to foundation, transition piece, tower, nacelle and blade installation, along with inter-array and export cable laying and substation or converter station installation.

Once commissioned, the windfarm’s operations and maintenance phase involves a less frenetic extended period of routine maintenance and repairs and with early projects relatively close inshore a ‘day-boat’ operation was adopted, CTVs taking up to 12 technicians to work each day with a commute time of around one hour being typical.

As projects moved further offshore involving larger windfarms in more hostile waters, this method became unsustainable and a new model emerged, that of sea-going Service Operations Vessels (SOV) housing larger numbers of technicians in high-quality accommodation and remaining at sea for up to 30 days, transferring to the turbines by smaller craft or walk-to-work gangway systems.

Construction Service Operation Vessel

The final element of Purus Wind’s order is for another Damen product, a 90m CSOV (Construction Service Operation Vessel) providing accommodation for up to 120 people for up to 30 days at a time.

This will have a diesel/electric propulsion and battery array arrangement, its “innovative” features including a hull design almost symmetrical fore and aft below the waterline, on which will be mounted four Damen DPX-Drive identical thruster units, two forward and two aft, allowing highly precise manoeuvring and station keeping.

It is described as having excellent stability due to its design, enhanced by a large anti-roll tank with a motioncompensated gangway and crane providing smooth transfers of personnel and equipment.

As with the CTVs, space is reserved for additional battery capacity and the vessel will be pre-prepared for both conversion to methanol engines and offshore charging.

The eight vessels are scheduled to be delivered between 2024 and 2027.

Van Oord’s new offshore installation vessel has been contracted for major works before it has even been built.

Boreas will be used to install 104 extended monopiles, each weighing up to 1,750 tonnes, for the Nordseecluster offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

It will also be used to lay the foundations, 44 in 2025 and the remaining 60 in 2027.

The new 175m vessel is being purpose built for the the offshore wind farm industry. It has an advanced jacking system and can lift more than 3,000 tonnes. Four giant legs, each measuring 126 metres, allow the vessel to work in waters up to 70 metres deep.

“Van Oord is preparing itself for the increase in scale in the offshore wind industry,” the Dutch marine contractor says. ”Boreas also fits in with Van Oord’s sustainability ambitions and aim of making its fleet more economical and energy efficient. The vessel will be able to run on the future fuel methanol, reducing the ship’s footprint by more than 78%.”

The Nordseecluster is a joint venture between RWE and Northland Power, signed at the recent WindEurope exhibition in Copenhagen. The owners claim the 1.6GW project will power up to 1,600,000 homes.

MoU AIMS TO CONVERT TUGS FOR METHANOL

Towage giant Svitzer and Caterpillar Marine have signed an MoU to adopt solutions that will give Svitzer the ability to use methanol across its fleet

Dual-fuel methanol engines will be implemented not only on new tugs but also in conversions of existing Catpowered tugs - which, Svitzer says, make up the majority of the firm’s fleet.

“With a relationship spanning numerous decades, this agreement marks the next evolution of our journey to, amongst other initiatives such as the adoption of biofuels in EcoTow, enable the fulfilment of Svitzer’s decarbonisation strategy,” says Svitzer.

“This MoU formalises the collaboration to deploy engine technologies that enable Svitzer to utilise methanol, which can be produced from renewable energy sources to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions,” says Caterpillar.

“The focus of our collaboration is two-fold,” said Andres Perez, global tug segment manager, Caterpillar Marine. “We are supporting Svitzer to enable tugs to operate on methanol with diesel-like performance while providing fuel flexibility, which is key to enabling operators to lower their carbon intensity via green methanol as availability increases. Additionally, we’re taking full advantage of the learnings to provide conversion solutions for the existing fleet. This is a critical aspect to reach the level of methanol adoption that Svitzer seeks to fulfil their goals.”

In November last year, Anglo Belgian Corporation (ABC) at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges began converting one of its tugboats, Methatug, to methanol, retrofitting it with a dualfuel engine.

The project is part of the EU Fastwater project to study

how feasible such engine conversions are. ABC installed the methanol tanks and pipes, while Swedish shipbuilder Scandinos designed the tug’s modifications and German engineer Heinzmann adapted the fuel injectors.

Before the conversion could even begin, Fastwater had to get around a regulation by the Central Commission for the Navigation on the Rhine that had forbidden the use of methanol as a shipping fuel. After 18 months of negotiations with CESNI, the European committee that draws up standards in inland navigation, the Commission approved the project.

Consortium to develop H2-powered passenger ships

A consortium of 13 partners in six European countries is looking at developing hydrogen fuel cells for passenger ships.

Named SH2YpS, the consortium is being co-funded by the European Union and the UK government and includes members from Italy, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Norway and the UK.

The solution, a 40ft containerised multi-MW power plant combining the output of several fuel cell modules, would be installed on board passenger ships and in the first instance, a Viking fjord cruise vessel.

The project has also floated the idea of using a ‘swappable storage system’ for the liquid hydrogen based on new c-type ISO containers that it aims to use as fuel tanks.

The idea would be to develop a logistics network based on swapping containers pre-filled with ‘green’ liquid hydrogen, however one obstacle to this being realised,

the consortium admits, is the fledgling hydrogen supply chain.

“The supply chain of hydrogen is in its very first stage of development and containers are still the only fast-track feasible logistic solution so far,” it says. “Moreover, only a few companies produce c-type insulated tanks that are used for the transport of hydrogen.”

As has been mooted many times across the industry, a lack of regulations surrounding all new future fuels is one challenge to developing any of them as marine fuels.

The consortium says that although specific prescriptive rules and regulations are not yet in place for the use of hydrogen as marine fuel, according to SOLAS (the IMO’s convention for the safety of life at sea), a design process based on risk assessment in case of unconventional ship can be accepted. UK-based environmental and engineering consultancy Ricardo is lending its knowledge of hydrogen technology and integration to the consortium.

“The shipping industry is facing considerable challenges to find a solution to achieve zero-emissions navigation in line with future global regulatory targets,” said president of Emerging Mobility Adrian Schaffer.

8 How the hydrogen would be stored onboard passenger ships in a new project

A historic shipyard with a long past including building ships for the Soviet Union has announced it will bring itself up to date with a major modernisation project.

Peene-Werft in Wolgast, Germany says it intends to inhance its shipbuilding capabilities and infrastructure after 70 years as a well-known shipbuilder belonging to the Lürssen Group.

The initiative comes as part of the shipyard’s long-term strategy to adapt to evolving market demands and technological advancements. Dating back some 70 years, the yard has built various vessels, including cruise ships, ferries, and offshore support vessels.

The modernisation project includes installing advanced robotic systems, digitalisation and implementing new engineering and design software.

Peene-Werft also aims to enhance its sustainability practices by implementing eco-friendly measures throughout the shipbuilding process with energy-efficient solutions, waste reduction and integrating renewable energy sources.

The shipyard also intends to strengthen its workforce by providing comprehensive training programmes and investing in the development of its employees’ skills.

PEENE-WERFT INITIATES MODERNISATION PROJECT

Peene-Werft is a well-known shipyard that has been a part of the Bremen Lürssen Group since May 2013. With a history dating back to its establishment on June 20, 1948, under the Soviet military administration, the shipyard initially focused on building cutters and coasters as reparations for the Soviet Union. Subsequently, in 1951, it began the construction of naval ships.

Over the years, Peene-Werft has played a pivotal role in building a wide range of vessels

for both the People’s Navy and the Soviet Union, including light torpedo speedboats, minesweepers, landing ships and submarine hunters. In fact, the majority of the Volksmarine fleet was manufactured at the Peene shipyard.

During the 1970s, the shipyard built sea bucket chain dredgers for the USSR. In the 1980s, it produced small cabin boats with internal combustion engines as part of the party’s prescribed ‘consumer goods production’ initiative.

Marine engineering and propulsion specialist Royston has successfully conducted a vital overhaul of the propulsion systems onboard the OSV Topaz Sophie on behalf of Doha Marine Services.

The project involved Royston engineers travelling from the UK to the DDW shipyard in Dubai to perform maintenance work on two Niigata Z-Peller thrusters installed on the 75-metre vessel.

The maintenance package encompassed propeller removal and refitting, renewal of steering seals, inspection for water ingress and oil leaks, gearbox checks, seal box rebuilding, and installation of new seals and gaskets. During an inspection, wear marks were discovered on the port steering seal liner, necessitating its replacement with new parts before final reassembly.

Thorough examinations and refitting of both port and starboard rope guards were also required, followed by comprehensive testing of the Z-Pellers to ensure optimal functionality before returning the vessel to service.

Hatem Monir, representative of Doha Marine Services, commended Royston for their professionalism, work ethic and OEM engineering skills, which helped to minimise disruptions to its operational schedule.

MAJOR ENGINEERING FOR ROTTERDAM TUNNEL CROSSING

A major civil engineering project has been hit by a few setbacks and delays, but the Maasdelta Tunnel is well on its way to providing the major port city of Rotterdam with a new crossing

Tugs from Boluda Towage have taken the lead role with the sinking of two sections of the new Maasdelta Tunnel in Rotterdam.

In reporting the marine element of what is one of the Netherlands largest infrastructure projects in recent years, it is worth providing some background to this interesting story.

Like other major cities worldwide, Rotterdam has its own ring road, the city itself occupying the eastern portion of the ring road ‘square’ and extending north and south of the Nieuwe Maas. The ring road boundary extends westwards to Schiedam on the right bank and on the left bank Pernis, the village ‘enclave’ surrounded by industry typical of a busy seaport, including Shell’s giant oil refinery, the largest in Europe.

The ring road crosses the river via the Van Brienenoord Bridge on the eastward north/south leg and the Benelux Tunnel in the west. A second smaller tunnel, the Maastunnel, accommodates mostly commuter traffic between the (now) largely non-commercial port areas in Rotterdam centre itself.

Over many decades the port of Rotterdam has gradually expanded towards the coast, including Maasvlakte 2, which extends beyond the coastline. The vast majority of the port estate now lies to the west of the ring road.

Increased traffic needed a solution

The expansion has led to a significant increase in road traffic heading to the Maasvlaktes and Europort, with subsequent congestion during busy periods. With a lot of this traffic coming from the north it was clear another crossing was required in this western sector to ease the load in an area where freight and lighter commuter traffic battle for space.

The tunnel elements are each 200m and 185m long, 42m wide and 8m high, sunk to a depth of 28m and leading to another complex junction at Rozenburg on the south side linking to the busy A15 motorway with connections to local communities

Collectively known as the Blankenburgverbinding (Blankenburg Connection), the new link comprises a 4km long sequence of road junctions and connections from Vlaardingen on the north side, a land tunnel called Hollandtunnel, included to preserve the green landscape, which is why two immersed tunnel elements (Maasdeltatunnel) were needed beneath the navigable waterway Het Scheur, part of the shipping route to and from Rotterdam itself.

The tunnel elements are each 200m and 185m long, 42m wide and 8m high, sunk to a depth of 28m and leading to another complex junction at Rozenburg on the south side linking to the busy A15 motorway with connections to local communities.

The requirement for the river tunnel elements to be at a depth of around 28m meant that the land approaches on each side of the river (including the Hollandtunnel on the north side) had also to be excavated to the same depth while able to provide a precise interface, when the time came, with the submerged tunnel sections.

Around 100,000m3 of underwater concrete weighing in at 250,000 tonnes was required for the three sub-projects Maasdeltatunnel Zuid, Maasdeltatunnel Noord and the Hollandtunnel. This would fill the equivalent of 51 Olympicsized swimming pools.

Marine civil engineering

Looking at the marine element, a lot of preparatory work preceded the sinking of the two tunnels, which were given the names Alara (south tunnel) and Isabella (north tunnel).

The original plan was to build them on each bank, but potential delays from the Covid pandemic led to a rethink and construction was moved to the nearby Damen Verolme shipyard at Botlek, whose giant 405m long, 90m wide drydock was just large enough to accommodate the two curved tunnel sections.

As the aerial picture of the northern approach illustrates, the access ramps extended beyond the river banks and an important stage came when the pits were flooded, becoming tidal to accept the sunken tunnel elements.

A ‘letterbox’ structure forms the connection with the tunnels sealed by bulkheads and a steel profile of the same dimensions, called a Gina profile, creates a watertight seal between the tunnel element and access ramp. Omega profiles form the seams between the two tunnel elements themselves.

8 Navigation had to be maintained during the tunnel contruction

Source: Rijkwaterstaat

Prior to this, late in 2022 a trench was dredged to around 30m below NAP (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum, in basic terms, water level) to accommodate the tunnel sections which had to be beneath the seabed to maintain the existing water depth of around 17m for shipping.

Dredgers Artevelde and Meuse River removed around 500,000m3 of sand and soil, which was transported to the North Sea near Scheveningen. A 3D computer programme was produced for each vessel to ensure the correct depth was achieved throughout the trenching.

DEME’s jack-up construction vessel Neptune then laid 12 enormous 110t concrete tiles in the trench to provide a temporary foundation for the tunnels. Jacks resting on the tiles adjust the elements precisely to the centimetre after which the space beneath is filled with sand, the tiles no longer having a function. Neptune also had to dig a 6x6m well into which gravel was poured as foundation for each tile. Navigation was restricted in Het Scheur at times during this operation while it occupied the centre of the navigation channel.

Further activity involved the placing of six poles, vibrated into the river bed, two on the Rozenburg side, two on the Vlaardingen side and two in the middle of the river, all ensure the tunnel elements would be sunk precisely in position. The centre two were installed at the same time as the nearby Maeslant storm surge barrier was carrying out its annual closure test, with the river closed to traffic.

Hiccups in operations

It was almost inevitable that such a major infrastructure project would face unforeseen problems and delays, and this came about during arguably the most critical part of the operation, the sinking of the two tunnel elements into the pre-dredged trench and onto the pre-laid foundation tiles.

Precise coordination of the operation was required, involving tugs manoeuvring the elements, of which just a low surface area was visible above water in a dynamic environment that also includes the unpredictable influence of wind and tidal currents.

Once ballasted down and lowered out of sight, the elements had to be aligned precisely with the approach elements that had been excavated ‘dry’ and subsequently flooded on each side of the river.

Project sponsors Rijkwaterstaat, along with the BAAK consortium (Ballast Nedam and DEME Group), kept local communities including schools and the wider public informed of progress and the two tunnel sinkings were scheduled for weekends a month apart with provision made for the public to witness them, with tiered seating, car parking and information officers on hand.

The weather for the first sinking was somewhat inclement,

but did not prevent the operation going ahead. Four of Boluda Towage’s Rotterdam-based tugs, VB Ebro, VB Schelde, VB Mars and VB Furie were allocated to tow Alara from the drydock at Damen Verolme the short distance to the site.

A flotilla of support vessels/workboats including Demi J, Viking Energy, Husky and Panda was also on hand to provide the fine tuning with vessels from the Port of Rotterdam Authority and Rijkwaterstaat, including RPA 5,10 and 14 along with RWS 73, watching over.

The first section was successfully sunk into place, although a leak at the headboard of the element caused a short circuit, which affected the pumps. Additional pumps were deployed to keep the situation under control but it did lead to Het Scheur being closed for longer than planned.

The setbacks for Alara led to a delay for sinking Isabella, the second northern element. All was in place however for the re-arranged date and Boluda’s tugs VB Mars, VB Ebro, Thamesbank and Rotterdam once again towed the second element to the Vlaardingen side of Het Scheur. Supporting vessels this time also included Odin and Smit Waalhaven 4.

Cable break

This part of the operation had to be aborted when a cable that held the tunnel section on the south side broke and the element contacted the temporary quay on the Vlaardingen side.

Isabella was returned to Damen Verolme while investigations were carried out, and at the time of writing no dates have been announced for a rescheduled attempt to sink the second tunnel element.

Setbacks with a project of this scale are to be expected and the typical ‘can do’ attitude of the Dutch, in particular Rotterdam’s extensive maritime community, means the region will eventually benefit from the new connection once completed.

One question that still remains unanswered is what the future for the Maassluis/Rozenburg vehicle ferry holds.

This route connecting the two sides and avoiding the longer Benelux Tunnel connection has been out of action for around a year due to technical problems. A smaller ferry service for foot passengers and bikes only has been established, but with the opening of the Blankenburg Connection toll tunnel, planned for 2024, it is possible this vehicle connection, popular for both locals and tourists, will never return.

DEME’s jack-up construction vessel Neptune then laid 12 enormous 110t concrete tiles in the trench to provide a temporary foundation for the tunnels. Jacks resting on the tiles adjust the elements precisely to the centimetre after which the space beneath is filled with sand, the tiles no longer having a function

Irish towage firm Atlantic Towage & Marine has added a Damen Multi Cat 2309 workboat, Ocean Energy, to its fleet to ‘spearhead Atlantic’s push into the European market’, with a special focus on offshore renewables.

Atlantic Towage was founded in 2008, and operates a fleet of 10 vessels including tugs, dive support vessels and multi-purpose workboats. Ocean Energy will begin a contract in Danish waters to assist with cable installations, says managing director Sean Harrington.

Ocean Energy has been optimised with a larger forward deck crane AKC 185 HE4 and an AK34 deck crane from HS Marine, the company says, with anchor-handling, towing and tugger winches also on deck.

Kongsberg has supplied a DP1 system to synchronise twin screws aft and a bow thruster for optimum manoeuvrability.

Engineering space has been prepared for the ship to be retrofitted with a Damen Marine NOx Reduction System, which uses catalytic reduction technology that raises the vessel to Tier III compliance.

“While this is the most efficient way to be future proofed for IMO Tier III, Damen also offers a range of retrofit options to suit most requirements,” says Damen. “Additional customisations have been implemented to

optimise the vessel for her various roles.”

“I would like to thank all the Damen team for the superb vessel they delivered,” said Sean Harrington. “They were a pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation in returning to them for our next new vessel.”

“Damen is proud to have cooperated closely with Sean during the design phase and build phase,” said Frederik van der Linde, Damen’s UK and Ireland sales manager. “We look forward to seeing this vessel in operation, supporting the renewables industry.”

A new perspective on servicing gas detection equipment 34 Years Incident Free

Columbia Ship Management has been using IM&M’s Meter Tracker system for over 20 years for its fleet of over 450 vessels. Columbia Management says “The meter tracking system has proven to be an excellent tool in maintaining the high standard of gas detection equipment which we demand. We require that portable gas detection on board our vessels is reliable and certified. A significant benefit of the system is that International Mining and Marine Ltd (IM&M Ltd) monitors the process and lets us know when they are due for servicing, and we look for a suitable port to do the exchange.

Organising how to meet the practicalities and legislative requirements of servicing and replacing portable gas detection equipment on a range of vessels can be a logistical nightmare and, in many cases, an expensive exercise. The benefits of using a unique system, tailormade for this purpose, which allows ship management companies to make sure that calibrations are carried out while reducing the overall cost, moving from a variable cost to a fixed budget cost.

Usage of gas detection systems

Gas detection systems are used to ensure vessels’ operational safety and to identify a wide range of potential hazards not only for the health and safety of the ships and crew but also to meet increasingly stringent maritime legislation. Fleet operators also have to ensure that the servicing, calibration and replacement of different types of monitoring equipment takes place in ports where appropriate facilities may not exist, or be provided at a significantly higher price than normal. This situation can be exacerbated by the fact that ships may carry monitors from a range of different manufacturers, quite often this means that ships need to carry additional equipment to solve the logistical issues discussed above, resulting in even more equipment to monitor and calibrate. There is a recent trend, however, to allow some of the tests to be performed by the ship’s crew, IM&M facilitate that they are properly trained and supported. In addition, every so often the gas monitors are required to be ‘landed’ to an authorised and competent technical service station for a shore based service and calibration.

Solution - Meter Tracker

Meter Tracker is an all-encompassing, ongoing maintenance programme that has been specifically designed to solve these problems. By utilising the ‘Meter Tracker system’, International Mining and Marine Limited (IM&M Ltd) can offer significant savings in both time

and money while simplifying calibration procedures and meeting maritime legislation. When a monitor is due for service, IM&M Ltd contacts the management company to ascertain the vessel’s next port of call. Identical, precalibrated and fully serviced gas detection instruments, together with the appropriate calibration gases, are then sent to the port to await the arrival of the vessel. The instruments are then exchanged and, once returned to IM&M Ltd, are repaired, serviced or recalibrated as required and placed into stores awaiting the next vessel exchange. Managing Director Mark Westerman of IM&M Ltd claims that “Meter Tracker can revolutionize the way in which vessels manage their gas detection. It brings rewards to almost everyone involved in the process of handling gas monitors. The benefits vary from company to company but, without doubt, ship management organisations are finding savings in both time and money as a result of less administration, fewer communications, minimal logistics planning and a reduction in negative vetting observations.”

Fairplay Towage Group is continuing its recent growth strategy with the delivery of two newbuild tugs for operation in Germany and Poland and the placing of an order for three further vessels, all from Damen Shipyards.

The German towing contractor is continuing its investment in new vessels for the shiphandling sector with seven Damen-built vessels joining its fleet in the last eighteen months, commencing with Fairplay-37 in 2022. Growth is particularly evident in Rotterdam, where Fairplay recently welcomed the innovative Damen ASD 2312 tug Fairplay-93, which can tow over both bow and stern from one centrally-mounted winch.

Fairplay’s German and Polish operations are now preparing for entry into service of the Damen RSD Tugs 2513 Fairplay-90 and Fairplay-91, which arrived as deck cargo in Rotterdam from Vietnam recently. The pair include a number of options to suit the client’s requirements including ice reinforcement enabling operation in light ice conditions.

Further contract

In the same week it was announced that Fairplay had signed a further contract for three additional Damen tugs comprising two more Reversed Stern Drive designs similar to

lifecycle of the vessels, starting with arranging transport from Damen’s Vietnam facility involving contact with the carrier, export documentation, drawings and calculations, transfer to loading location and lashings.

Fairplay’s fleet received a boost in 2017, when it merged with another well-known German tug owner with a long history, Bugsier Reederei und Bergungsgesellschaft mbH & Co KG, more than 90 vessels now listed under its ownership.

Fairplay-90 and 91 above, along with a larger Damen ASD Tug 2813. Damen’s practice of building for stock will allow delivery of all three before the end of 2023. Both designs are capable vessels, the builder’s documentation quoting a standard bollard pull figure of 80t, the RSD 2513 designed for harbour operations, the ASD 2813 suitable for terminal operations and coastal towing.

The contract includes a comprehensive portfolio of services spanning the entire

Fairplay Towage managing director Philip-Alexander Harmstorf said: “We are very happy to place another order with Damen. These tugs will help to increase the commonality of our fleet, increasing the efficiency of our operations. Throughout our previous orders with Damen, the communication and response has been excellent; they have always done what they have said they will do. Furthermore, we really value the local presence they have established in Hamburg for both sales and service.”

TUG NEWS – ROUND-UP

The latest look at new vessel arrivals features two new Multi Cats from Damen Shipyards, an order from Norway for Sanmar Shipyards and an addition to Ports of Jersey’s expanding fleet.

The first Multi Cat delivery to report involves the first of a new class of the versatile workboat for Damen Marine Services, the division of Damen Shipyards that offers its vessels for charter both fully crewed and bareboat.

The Multi Cat workboat range is known for its shallow draught and this latest marque designated Multi Cat 3313SD and named DMS Snipe has a draught of less than two metres, described by Damen as “an exceptional achievement for a 33-metre vessel”.

This latest model continues Damen’s theme of “the Swiss Army knife of workboats”, with the usual range of equipment including two deck cranes, anchor winch and towing pins. The pontoon-shaped hull provides “exceptional” deck space for its length, lending it to operation in shallow waters including construction, anchor-handling and dredging support.

The vessel is now part of DMS’s Arabian Gulf fleet, with clients including oil and gas majors led by Aramco. Dredging and marine construction companies are also potential customers for services including anchor-handling and the supplying of fresh water and fuel to offshore installations. Albwardy Damen shipyard in UAE provides facilities for DMS to resupply and maintain its vessels.

A specification sheet for the Multi Cat 3313SD should provide more detail but early information states that while IMO Tier III compliance is not yet a requirement in the Gulf, the necessary pipework, foundations and other equipment is already in place on DMS Snipe for future installation of Damen’s Marine NOx Reduction System.

Expansion into Europe

The second Multi Cat delivery involves the 2309 variant Ocean Energy, aimed at expansion into the European market with a special focus on the fast-growing offshore renewables sector for Ireland-based marine services company Atlantic Towage & Marine Ltd.

To optimise the craft for its role a larger HS Marine AKC185 HE4 deck crane forward has been included with an AK34 crane aft with Kongsberg supplying a DP1 system synchronising twin screws aft and a bow thruster. Deck equipment also includes anchor-handling, towing and tugger winches and accommodation is provided for up to seven persons in five cabins.

Ocean Energy is IMO Tier II compliant and as with DMS Snipe is pre-prepared for retrofitting Damen’s NOx reduction system using selective catalytic reduction technology to raise it to Tier III standards. The hull and superstructure were completed at Damen Shipyards Koźle with fitting out completed at its Gorinchem, Netherlands facility.

Atlantic Towage operates a fleet of 10 tugs, dive support vessels and workboats and Ocean Energy’s first assignment was assisting with cable installation work in Danish waters.

More orders for Sanmar

Buksér og Berging AS is a long-term client for Sanmar and at a time when the Turkish shipyard is constructing its eighth vessel for the customer, an emissions-free electric powered ElectRA 2200 SX tug, the Norwegian tug owner has ordered vessel number nine, a RAmparts 2400 SX MkII design from the drawing board of Robert Allan Ltd.

This latest vessel will have a LOA of 24.4m on a beam of 12m and draught 5.45m, and will be powered by Caterpillar 3512E main engines producing 3,802kW in total at 1,800rpm driving Kongsberg US205S controllable-pitch thrusters. Performance figures include 12.5kn and 60tbp for the escortcapable tug and deck equipment will include a Palfinger PK 11001MA deck crane, Karmøy winches forward and aft and a Triplex tow pin.

Ports of Jersey is a subsidiary of the Jersey Government, and as well as operating the Channel Islands port of St Helier and Jersey’s marinas is making a growing name for itself as an operator of Damen Shoalbusters in the wider commercial market.

The newbuild SB2609 Duke of Normandy joined the fleet in 2005, followed by the SB2711 Duchess in 2021. Its Shoalbuster fleet has now increased to three with the addition of the sixyear-old SB3209 Elisa. The vessel (previously named Isa) is currently listed as owned by ISA Towage BV and Ports of Jersey says it will spend most of its time in northern Europe supporting marine projects “as part of the Landfall fleet”. Duke of Normandy and Duchess are also listed as part of Netherlands-based Landfall Marine Contractors BV fleet of managed vessels.

Svitzer Towage has secured a sevenyear contract with ExxonMobil to provide shiphandling towage and line-handling services at ExxonMobil’s oil refinery at Fawley in Southampton Water.

The arrangement will provide continuity of towage provision over the wider Southampton port estate, the vessels at Fawley joining Svitzer’s five existing tugs, which provide ship-handling towage at Southampton port.

Services at the refinery were for many years operated by Solent Towage Ltd, part of Norway’s Østensjø Rederi, and Svitzer has inherited three very capable shiphandling tugs for its extended Southampton operation. Phenix and Apex are AVT 3700 Voith tractor tugs, built in Spain by Astilleros Gondan in 2007 and 2008 respectively, each providing 68tbp.

The RAstar series of tugs is a popular choice for owners from RAL’s catalogue, offered in lengths between 27m and 40m, this particular 28m example providing a bollard pull of 80t. All three vessels include fifi1 and escort towing notation.

The contract follows an open-tender process which in Svitzer’s words ‘demonstrated its ability to use assets across Fawley and Southampton to provide a more efficient solution for ExxonMobil’. The contract includes the operation of three ship-handling tugs, three line-handling boats and two mooring pontoons.

The three tugs at Fawley will continue with their existing personnel, the crew being offered the opportunity to continue in their current roles, but as Svitzer employees.

Two shore-based staff will spend most of their time servicing the Fawley operation, providing face-to-face contact with the client and providing the crews with a support network for ensuring ‘compliance, maintenance, storing and day-to-day operations run smoothly’.

The new arrangement will provide continuity of towage provision over the wider Southampton port estate, the vessels at Fawley joining Svitzer’s five existing tugs, which provide ship-handling towage at Southampton port itself around 8km upstream from Fawley.

Svitzer tells MJ there are no immediate plans to rename the three tugs but they will in due course receive the Svitzer logo and livery.

Phenix and Apex are AVT 3700 Voith tractor tugs, built in Spain by Astilleros Gondan in 2007 and 2008 respectively, each providing 68tbp.

In June 2021, registered ownership of both vessels was transferred to Svitzer Europe Holding BV (Group Owner Svitzer Sverige AB) with Østensjø continuing as ship and technical manager.

TUG BUILDERS OPT FOR A METHANOL FUTURE

Damen and Boluda have become partners in building methanol-fuelled tugs, the companies have announced

Damen Shipyards and Boluda Towage have formed a partnership to work on launch a methanol-powered tug in what they say is a mission to bring zero-emissions tugs to Europe.

The announcement comes barely a month after Svitzer announced it was doing a similar thing with Caterpillar Marine (see page 60).

The first vessel, designed from scratch, will be a Damen RSD-E Tug 2513, and will be the first newbuild methanol tug in Europe, the firms say.

“Damen is currently developing the methanol-powered tug as part of its mission to be the world’s most sustainable shipbuilder,” said CEO Arnout Damen. “This completely new design is based on Damen’s experience and knowledge thanks to its extensive R&D capability in alternative sustainable propulsion systems.”

“Boluda Towage has been investing for years to achieve cleaner and greener operations in the port,” said Vicente Boluda Ceballos, vice chairman of Boluda Towage. “An important milestone in its ambition to work towards lower emissions has been a multiple order of IMO TIER III tugs in 2020. These pioneering vessels set a new standard for all its subsequent newbuilds.

“We know that we are in an increasingly complex environment that requires us to always be at the leading edge of solutions to increase safety in our operations, limit our environmental carbon footprint and meet the needs of our customers. With that purpose in mind, we are eager to continue our journey towards the future as a leader in the towage and maritime industry.”

First of 3 electric tugs delivered to Canada

The first of three ElectRA battery-powered tugs have been delivered to LNG Canada, with another two LNG RAStars to follow.

Sanmar has delivered the first of three electric tugs to HaiSea Marine, which will operate the tug at LNG Canada’s remote LNG export facility in British Columbia.

Haisea Wamis is the first electric tug in Canada, and was based on a design by naval architects Robert Allan, who attended the naming of all five vessels in Istanbul in May.

Based on the ElectRA 2800SX, Haisea Wamis will be joined by sister vessels Haisea Wee’git and Haisea Brave, names which all refer to the indigenous population in Canada.

They are 28.4m in length with a beam of 13m and contain a 6MWh battery storage system that will be used during berthing operations at the harbour in Kitimat, where

there is plenty of electricity to recharge from the region’s hydroelectric dams,

Two other tugs were also ordered from Sanmar as a result of the HaiSea joint venture between shipyard owner and

shipbuilder Seaspan and the Haisla Nation, an indigenous Canadian community in Kitimat, British Columbia, where LNG Canada, which is 40% owned by Shell along with Petronas (25%), PetroChina (15%), Mitsubishi (15%) and Kogas (5%), has its LNG production plant.

The two other two vessels are LNG-fuelled RAstar 4000-DF escort tugs with 100tbp and will be Canada’s most powerful escort tugs.

“The delivery of Haisea Wamis marks a major stride along the road to a sustainable, environmentally-friendly tug and towing industry and we are proud to be leading from the front, working closely with our partners to put innovative ideas into action through technological advance,” said Sanmar chairman Ali Gürün. “The significance of this project is huge, not just for us, but for the industry that we work in as a whole.”

Calling the partnership ’a new chapter in European towage’, Damen said the firm was already building RSD-E Tugs 2513 for stock, and that some would be available from 2024.

8 Boluda Towage has provided berthing assistance for a ship loaded with container cranes destined for Antwerp.

DP World’s Antwerp Gateway container terminal recently took delivery of three new container cranes, transported to Antwerp from China on board the heavylift cargo vessel Zhen Hua 35. Navigation of the ship and its outsized cargo required precise manoeuvring along the winding approaches to Antwerp and Boluda’s tugs VB Pearl and Union Ruby convoyed the vessel from Flushing to Antwerp where they were joined by VB Kiwi and VB Amber whereafter the four powerful tugs safely moored Zhen Hua 35 at DP World’s terminal at Deurganckdok.

8 PSA Marine Americas (Pte) has completed its acquisition of 45% stake in Meyer’s Tugs SA (MTSA) in Panama from Inversiones Maritimas CPT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPT Empresas Maritimas.

Panama-based MTSA was incorporated in 2015 and provides towage services between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts in Panama with six tugs between 60tbp and 77tbp. PSA Marine, based in Singapore, is now a major global player in the towage business

with a presence across Asia, Middle East, Europe and Latin America. With completion of the acquisition, MTSA will be rebranded for a common identity with existing general and key managers continuing to lead and run the company.

8 Trondheim Norway-based BOA has been awarded a major contract by TM Edison,

a JV between Jan de Nul and DEME, for the launching of 23 concrete caissons for Princess Elisabeth Island, the world’s first energy island in the Belgian section of the North Sea.

For launching the caissons, which weigh up to 22,400t, BOA will deploy its 140m long semi-submersible barge Boa Barge 33, modified to manage load-outs of extreme weights over the stern. The barge can submerge with up to 21.5m of water above deck which has a free deck area of 5,800m2 The operation will commence in spring 2024 and BOA’s work includes project engineering and operational management.

8 London-based maritime and commercial solicitors Tatham & Co has appointed solicitor and master mariner Paul Haworth as a senior member of its legal team.

Mr Haworth will join Tatham’s “wet” team focusing on Admiralty and crises response cases and together with another recent appointment, Chris Farmer brings the number of master mariner-qualified solicitors at the company to four. Mr Haworth’s previous high profile casualty incidents include Rena, Hoegh Osaka, CCNI Arauco, Maersk Honam and Ever Given.

The CBOA is the prime trade organisation involved in the effort to sustain and increase freight carriage on our waterways for economic and environmental reasons. The roads are already overstretched with the amount of traffic, clogged with cars, lorries and trucks. Some of these vehicles are on overnight or next day deliveries for which they are best suited, but much of the traffic could be taken by water as part of an integrated transport policy. Water freight can be the cheapest way to move goods. The main reasons are economies of scale and fuel efficiency - that one person operating a decent sized barge can move more cargo by water in a given amount of time than that person could if driving a lorry to and fro. Membership of the CBOA is open to both companies and individuals who support the aims of the association. Together we can make a difference.

It’s no secret that equipment downtime, repair and replacement are expensive. It is also no secret that regular scheduled preventive maintenance is cheaper than the repair or replacement of expensive equipment. In these days of dwindling maintenance budgets and closer scrutiny of operating costs and procedures, you can show a real saving through preventive control of corrosion. Corrosion Block can be described as a clean, clear, ultra-thin fluid which leaves a nongreasy atmospheric barrier to protect the base metal on interior surfaces. Corrosion Block leaves no gummy residue because it contains no wax, resin, tar, asphalt, silicone or telfon. Corrosion Block anti-corrosion compound is a state-of-the-art material developed for the marine industry. Corrosion Block has three superior features: Corrosion Block is superior anti-corrosion compound.

Whether you work in exposed areas with high waves and strong winds or in more sheltered waters, Dacoma’s novel Airkeel stabilizer will make a difference for your operations. Work- and crewboats up to 30m length equipped with our Airkeel system offer a rock stable and safe platform to work from, even in adverse weather. Stabilization works at all practical boat velocities – also at zero speed. Due to its buoyancy and due to its ability to laterally shift the buoyancy center, the Airkeel increases cargo and crane capacity of work- and crew boats by a factor of two or more. This means that even lightweight, and fast vessels of less than 15m length can be equipped with an 8-10 tm crane for cost-optimized fleet operations.

Work is under way to upgrade the Europa Terminal at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges with a temporary barge quay constructed to guarantee smooth service.

The new barge quay will allow the terminal operator, PSA Belgium, to provide additional mooring space for inland navigation during the ten year period of upgrade works.

“It is essential that we maintain a high level of operational delivery to our customers during the investments to upgrade the Europa Terminal,” said Cameron Thorpe, CEO PSA Belgium.

“We are convinced that in cooperation with the port and our customers, this temporary quay will ensure that we can continue to serve the barges calling at PSA Antwerp.”

First phase

The Europa Terminal is being deepened from 13.5 to 16 metres, in order to be able to continue to receive the world’s largest container ships.

Construction of this new temporary 150-metre quay was completed in April and after extensive testing, it is now ready to handle barges until the end of the works. Port of Antwerp-Bruges will be in charge of the operationality of the quay during the terminal upgrade project.

DIGITAL SHIPBUILDERS

TERMINAL DEEPENING PROJECT UNDER WAY AT ANTWERP-BRUGES

The upgrade works are being split up into three major phases, with a third of the new quayside being upgraded each time, while the remainder remains operational.

Working in three phases will allow the terminal to remain operational throughout the entire ten-year period of the works mitigating against any effect on operations.

With preparatory work and tests completed, the first phase of the extensive works can now

get underway. In this phase, under the partnership of four contractors - Artes-Roegiers, Artes-Depret, Herbosch-Kiere and Boskalis - the existing quayside will be demolished.

Temporary structures will then be installed before construction of the first section of the 1,200-metre-long new quayside is started.

€9.3m PORT EXPANSION COMPLETES READINESS PHASE

The UK Port of Sunderland is ready for substantial development now that civil engineering contractor Esh Construction has finished a works package

The Trinity Rail, Road & Sea Enterprise Zone is one of two zones totalling 20 acres of development that have had a total of £8.2 million (€9.3 million) spent on road improvements to cater for future traffic flows along with a range of other infrastructure works.

Graeme Miller, leader of Sunderland City Council and chair of Port of Sunderland, said: “Port of Sunderland has undergone a programme of extensive infrastructure works, transforming it into a development-ready location, that is already proving increasingly attractive to investors.

“From global maritime services giant Boskalis to sustainable recycling specialists Wastefront and Quantafuel, the expansion of the port and ongoing infrastructure improvements have made the estate a highly investible proposition for businesses looking to capitalise on its strategic position on the North Sea coast and the city’s skilled workforce. This latest development will ensure we are able to maximise the economic advantage the port can provide the city and the wider region.”

Improvement works have been made to roads at the port, including repairs and new concrete sections to the 3km port perimeter road and a realignment of 350m of new flexible carriageway, that will enhance connectivity within the port and particularly its enterprise zone sites.

Environmental efficiencies and carbon reduction measures were also considered throughout the project, with Esh setting up an on-site processing system which saw more than 34,000m3 of excavated material, segregated, crushed, screened and re-used on site. Over 57 tonnes of hard to recycle waste has been diverted from landfill and instead recycled into biomass fuel.

The work – which was delivered by Durham based Esh Construction - is part of a wider programme of improvements under way at Port of Sunderland, which has also seen it benefit from improved rail connectivity, with refurbishment works carried out to its rail infrastructure following reconnection with the National Rail network. Enabling works have also been completed at the port on its East Shore Enterprise Zone site to provide a development area, which is expected to attract new investors to establish a permanent base there.

The creation of Scotland’s largest renewables hub at the Port of Leith has taken a major step forward with the start of construction works for the new riverside marine berth.

Forth Ports’ ambitious £50m (€57m) project in Leith will create Scotland’s largest renewable energy hub on a 175-acre site – supporting Scotland’s economic recovery, energy transition plans and its move towards net zero.

“The work under way in Leith will pave the way for Scotland to maximise the supply chain value and jobs from the ScotWind offshore wind leasing round,” said Charles Hammond, group chief executive of Forth Ports.

“Our major investment in Leith’s logistics and marine infrastructure will be crucial to the success of the Forth Green Freeport. With existing and future offshore wind farm development plans in the North Sea, this renewables hub has the potential to support offshore wind construction projects for the next 30 years.”

World class

When completed, the bespoke riverside berth will be capable of accommodating the world’s largest offshore wind installation vessels and will feature a heavy lift capability of up to 100 tonnes per square metre (t/m2).

WORK PROGRESSES ON SCOTLAND’S LARGEST RENEWABLES HUB

This will be backed up by 175 acres of adjacent land for logistics, marshalling and manufacturing.

Working with specialist contractor Graham, the berth is being created immediately outside the port’s lock gates, meaning that

vessels do not need to enter the locked port itself, leading to faster ship turnaround times and the ability to accommodate larger vessels. Works began in January on the marine and land-side port infrastructure upgrades, with completion expected in summer 2024.

After almost a year and a half, extensive engineering works are almost completed to upgrade and widen the 63km Twente Canals in the Netherlands.

Running the project, the Rijkswaterstaat (Department of Waterways and Public Works) first had to carry out an architectural survey of everything within 70 metres of the canal to ascertain how much would be affected by dredging and embankment works.

Then 35 kilometres of old steel sheet piling along the banks had to be replaced, which meant first placing 20,000 tonnes of new steel in front of it to minimise water seepage. After dredging the canal bed, a sand-bentonite mixture was applied to the bed and sides to restore the sealing effect of the original soil to avoid damage to adjacent land. A new swing basin opposite the XL business park at Almelo was engineered to allow larger vessels to turn around, and the municipal quay at Delden was moved 12 metres inland and extended by 30 metres so that ships can pass each other.

Marine contractors and a special workboat

Marine contractors Van Oord, Hakkers and Beens were hired for the job, along with Destiny, a multi-purpose workboat owned by Dutch firm AGB Bouw en AGB Maritiem, which was

NEW WTI CONCEPT BY HUISMAN

Marine contractors Huisman and Siemens Gamesa have joined technological forces to come up with a solution to stabilise wind turbine components during installation

The firms have combined Huisman’s heavy construction design and manufacturing expertise with Siemens Gamesa’s wind turbine knowhow to come up with a Travelling Load Stabilising System, which they claim enables installations to be carried out in adverse weather conditions, thus reducing the downtime that is often a delaying factor in such projects.

Two pairs of tuggers work in unison to control and position the load, or turbine blade.

One pair is fitted on independent trolleys that can travel along an integrated rail along the crane’s stiff boom. The trolleys automatically follow the main block to maintain an optimal tugger line configuration while the second pair of tugger lines is deployed from the crane tip, providing a force perpendicular to the first pair of tuggers.

By approaching the load from two different directions, the system provides significantly more control than a conventional single pair of tuggers.

A specially designed control system holds the actual position of the load, resulting in a much stiffer restraint, and therefore a higher position accuracy compared to conventional tugger systems that rely on constant tension. In case of an unexpected overload, the system will give way but will return to its position

setpoint when the force drops below the threshold again.

“This is crucial for the technical readiness of nextgeneration offshore wind turbine installations, even under challenging wind conditions,” said Jesper Moeller, chief engineer Execution at Siemens Gamesa. “The resulting increase in installation uptime will be accompanied by a positive effect on the operational activities in general, as well as increased on-site safety.

“Siemens Gamesa sees the system as a potentially new industry standard with benefits for the whole wind industry, providing more productive vessel days, while at the same time reducing (de-)mobilisation times. Hence, Siemens Gamesa will consider the availability of the new Travelling Load Stabilising System on installation vessel cranes as a significant factor in decision making when selecting/hiring appropriate installations vessels in the future.”

“The only way to accelerate the energy transition is through innovation enabled by the joint forces of industry partners,” said Huisman CEO David Roodenburg. “With the Travelling Load Stabilising System, we are very proud that together we can offer installation companies an efficient solution to reduce weather downtime, a challenging and delaying factor of wind turbine installation.”

Huisman says the system gives effective load control because the tuggers are at the best elevation, and the boom trolleys have a much higher stiffness compared with flexible tagline, increasing control and workability.

VAN OORD PUTS TWO NEW LNG DREDGERS TO WORK

Vox Apolonia and Vox Ariane will be joined by Vox Alexia after she is named in September to bring the number of LNG-powered dredgers to three.

The first two vessels have been tasked with beach nourishment work along the Dutch coast in the province of Zeeland, which the Dutch government fears is at risk of flooding if the sea level rises.

Rijkswaterstaat, the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, has put in place a Netherlands Coastline Care programme intended to reinforce the coast, with works for Van Oord including beach and trench wall replenishment at the Westkapelse Zeedijk, Oostgat and Niewwvliet-Groede.

Sand is pumped to the beach by trailing suction hopper dredger via a pipeline, and parts of the channel just off the coast are filled with sand.

“If it becomes less deep, the current can carry less sand and the coast stays in place longer,” says Van Oord. “In total, approximately four million cubic metres of sand will be applied.”

Van Oord is touting the fact that both dredgers are powered by LNG by saying that it makes the project ‘extra special’.

“This is a more sustainable alternative for Marine Gas Oil, free of sulphur and particulates,” the firm says. “The combustion process is also different to that of MGO, resulting in far less nitrogen dioxide being emitted.”

Last year Van Oord scooped the Dutch Maritime KVNR Shipping Award for the three vessels, which were called ‘a trailblazer for international standards’.

Custom-built dredger delivered to Baltic, North Sea

A dredger to be used for port maintenance and opertions and shore replenishment in the North and Baltic Sea areas has been delivered to Hegemann-Reiners by Dutch firm Kooiman Marine.

Trailing suction hopper dredger Hegemann V was built to specific requirements by Hegemann Reiners, including the ability to dredge quite specific amounts of sand and slick material since that has to be fitted into a prefefined size because the dredger is needed for work in restricted locations such as harbours and rivers.

“The dredger also features pre-defined operation modes to be able to run the generator diesel engines at optimal efficiency,” says Kooiman. “This results in efficient after treatment of the exhaust gases and considerably lower fuel consumption.”

She is a versatile dredger tailor made to perform the works efficient at low emissions and low fuel consumption.

The dredger’s hull was built in Serbia, then transported to the Gebr.Kooiman shipyard in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, where Kooiman took on the outfitting.

“Kooiman came with a tailored proposal. They did it exactly as we wanted,” said Hegemann-Reiners technical manager Martin Janssen. “The dredger was already performing beyond expectations during sea trials and continues to do so in operation.

OFFSHORE WIND FACES ‘A RACE TO THE BOTTOM’

Can the push for bigger and bigger wind turbines be put on hold? With supply chains and manufacturers struggling to keep up, it might just have to be

At its annual event in Copenhagen at the end of April, WindEurope called on European energy ministers present to ‘get serious’ about speeding up the expansion of wind energy in Europe if it is to hit targets set by the EU, which has called for 420GW of offshore wind energy to be installed by 2050 – twice what we currently have – in just 27 years’ time.

The alliance called for an acceleration of permits, more government investment, grid expansion, and electrification across the board.

”It’s time for a new societal contract in offshore wind and renewable energy,” WindEurope quoted Rasmus Errboe, executive vice president and CEO Europe at Ørsted, as saying. “Ørsted is ready to lead a market-driven buildout of wind energy based on fair competition and in respect of nature. The complexity we face should not stop us from taking the next step forward.”

But while industry is going at breakneck speed to design and manufacture bigger and bigger turbines, the three main manufacturers – Vestas, GE and Siemens Gamesa – have recorded losses of at least $1 billion each, says new CEO of the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Iain Grainger.

He expanded in an interview with Maritime Journal on his predecessor Allen Leatt’s earlier comments that the situation was not sustainable, calling it a ‘race to the bottom’.

“The turbine industry is losing money because they haven’t built enough to cover the R&D costs that they’ve had – and because they are pushing technology so fast, they are facing warranty claims on failing equipment,” says Grainger.

Exponential scale-up

The world’s first offshore wind farm was installed at Vindeby off the coast of Denmark in 1991 by Ørsted. Each of the 11 turbines generated a grand total of 450kW. The blades, 17 metres in length, sat on a steel tower 33 metres in height.

Fast forward 20 years, the Thames Estuary London Array turbine blades were almost 3.5 times as long, at 58.5 metres, and were mounted on monopoles that now rose 67 metres up from the seabed. They generated 3.5MW each, an almost eight-fold increase on the Vindeby pioneers. Even these were mere fledglings.

In February 2021, Vestas revealed its offshore prototype.

This mammoth is 280 metres tall, each blade is 115.5 metres long and each turbine generates 15MW. It is currently being tested, and according to New Atlas, each spin of the blades could sweep 10 football fields.

“How big is big enough?” asks Grainger. “Wind turbine installation vessels are upgraded every five years – so you build a vessel and it’s out of spec within four, and can’t install the next generation of equipment within five.

“It then either needs to get an extension on a crane, or a new crane, or it just has to trade down and go back to doing maintenance on the ones it can do.

“The cranes are already 3,000 tonnes in weight, lifting 500 tonnes – it’s like a race to the bottom. Everyone is trying to

get bigger and bigger and cheaper and cheaper, and it’s not sustainable – we have to slow down.”

The writing is already on the wall for this ramping up, he said.

“Manufacturers have booked billions of dollars of potential losses because they’ve found failures in the latest generation. If they find a failure in one and have supplied 70 of the same ones, there’s a probability that that failure will crop up in the other 69 during that warranty period. Warranty periods are five to 10 years, and they may have also supplied that kind of turbine to another field – so it’s a massive risk.

“Yet they are still announcing bigger and bigger.”

Other infrastructure requirements

It’s not just the vessels that can’t keep up, of course.

Ports and harbours ‘will need massive infrastructural change to cope’, says Iain Grainger.

He cited Scotland’s Port of Nigg, which was ‘absolutely rammed with jackets’ last year and had to leave some of them in the Netherlands to free up space.

“There are logistical challenges as well,” he said. “You can’t have a vessel out there with nothing to do – if it gets delayed there’s nowhere to store this stuff. On the west coast of Ireland there are no ports left.”

The UK government has committed some money to develop ports and the grid, he said – some £20 billion over the next 10 years to upgrade power – but at this rate that will be nowhere near enough.

Can anyone press the pause button?

It is incredibly difficult to try to put a curb on development in any industry that is trying to compete.

Grainger says anyone trying it could be seen as being anticompetitive, and IMCA cannot speak for all of its 700 members.

So who can pull it all together to put a pause on such rapid development when it is actually creating risk to shareholders that could be ‘company busting’?

It might just come from inside.

Vestas, says lead specialist, Communications and Press, MarCom, Sustainability & Public Affairs Kristian Holmelund Jakobsen, has been vocalising this for a while.

Having just signed an agreement with Argentina for 16 new wind turbines (still huge at 4.5MW, but a third of the size of the recent fabrications coming out), CTO Anders Nielsen maintained that rapid scaling of offshore wind was pivotal ‘if we are to meet the looming 2030 deadline and secure energy independence’.

“The offshore potential is facing 10-fold market growth, and we have to build faster,” he said.

However, building faster does not necessarily mean building bigger.

“Too rapid introduction of new technology is not sustainable for offshore wind because it obstructs industrialisation of platforms and ability to optimise installation processes and service as well as learn from performance data to strengthen quality,” he said. “To ensure we can deliver at the scale and speed required, the offshore wind industry needs to pull together and work smarter and more responsibly.”

In a podcast with the Global Wind Energy Council made freely available to the press, Siemens Gamesa CEO Jochen Eickholt admitted that R&D costs had not been compensated yet, and that ‘the economic situation is not the easiest’.

When asked by interviewer Stewart Mullin if industry needed to reach a plateau because the bigger vessels being built were so quickly no longer fit for purpose, he admitted that ‘the drivers behind the development need to be looked at’.

“Typically, there’s an economic aspect so of course you could build things bigger but then suddenly the related efforts and qualification efforts may be developing exponentially rather than linearly, so there’s a natural limit,” he said.

makes you humble as a person, and thinking about them being 20-30% bigger we have to be extremely careful on why we propose this: why, what circumstances? Because the market may require more availability, and what about reliability as well, and technical risks?

“We haven’t made up our minds, we wouldn’t exclude bigger machines for the future, but right now I would advise us to be careful of the technical risk behind it.”

Eickholt confirmed that if different countries or regions wanted Siemens Gamesa to build wind turbine factories in their areas, they would have to put their hands in their pockets.

“If we consider opening a new plant there’s a massive need for additional support otherwise it won’t be possible,” he said.

“And this is in discussions by us in different countries. I also think it will be difficult for some of the classical players to make more investments without more support.”

With two of the main turbine manufacturers at last saying similar things, perhaps some sort of industry consensus will be possible.

Poland is joining the race for wind energy with offshore plans that will ultimately see the country generate 2.5GW off the coast.

Developer PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna) has signed up turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa to supply 107 turbines, each with 12MW generating capacity, for the wind farms, which will be installwed in two stages in the Baltic Sea off the northern coast of Poland, netween Leba and Ustka.

Siemens Gamesa says a five-year maintenance contract has also been agreed to make sure the turbines operate to maximum capacity once they come online in 2027.

The project is estimated to have capacity to supply 2.4 million homes and is the largest offshore project in the country to date.

“This latest deal for Baltica 2 will cement the foundations for a successful roll-out of offshore wind power in Poland,” said Marc Becker, CEO of the offshore business in Siemens Gamesa. “The Baltic Sea can provide huge opportunities for the growth of the industry in coming years, and we stand committed with Poland and our partners to develop it further.”

Siemens Gamesa has established a key hub in Gdansk to oversee the development of operations in the Baltic Sea.

POLAND ON CUSP OF OFFSHORE WIND BONANZA

Poland is quickly emerging as a key country for offshore wind ambitions, setting a target of 10.9GW in capacity by 2030, with installations from the first

round expected to begin in 2026. The second set of auctions is due in 2025, with installations closer to the end of the decade.

US WIND HURDLES COULD DELIVER BLOW TO EUROPEANS

Opportunities for European firms with expertise in offshore wind could be dealt a blow if a new bill becomes law in the US

The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2023 would be in addition to the Jones Act, which already restricts non-US crews and vessels from transporting cargo between US ports.

The bill includes provisions on the crewing of vessels for energy projects, which would result in vessel owners having two options, says Philip Lewis, director Research at Intelatus Global Partners, a business intelligence firm: matching crew nationality to flag of vessel; or manning the vessel with American mariners only.

The US House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, he says, has recently reported favourably on the bill, which indicates it has a chance of being implemented.

Another bill that could have an impact on federal projects at state level is one proposed by senators Tim Moffitt and Bobby Hanig, in North Carolina.

The North Carolina Senate Bill 687 proposes a 10-year moratorium on wind farms in state waters - and while this does not cover the outer continental shelf, it would forbid transmission infrastructure to pass through state waters, thus making it impossible to build wind farms further out.

Neither bill has a certain timeline for implementation.

“The Department of Defense has raised objections to four of the six proposed Central Atlantic Wind Energy Areas, slowing down the leasing timetable,” says Lewis. “We note the reintroduction of provisions in a Senate Bill that may restrict foreign mariners from working on US wind projects and new provisions restricting anchor handling operations to Jones Act vessels.

“We believe that these provisions, if they become law, will have unintended cost and schedule consequences on the manning of construction vessels for both bottom-fixed and floating wind projects. This comes at a time where developers are already signalling concerns on escalating project costs.

“As an indicator of cost differences between US and European offshore wind projects, we note the current loan review under MARAD Title XI for three service operation vessels being built for US offshore wind projects: the capital

The North Carolina Senate Bill 687 proposes a 10-year moratorium on wind farms in state waters - and while this does not cover the outer continental shelf, it would forbid transmission infrastructure to pass through state waters, thus making it impossible to build wind farms further out

cost of the vessels built in the US ranges from $97 million to $168 million. Vessels with similar specifications due for delivery to European operators in the same timeframe range from $62 million to $69 million, which represents a US premium of around 56% to 142%.”

Signs of hope

However, it’s not all bad news for the sector.

Philip Lewis says that federal permits are going ahead as planned, with other states laying out plans to accommodate ever larger offshore wind into their onshore grids - at a price.

“Our forecast accounts for more than 70 projects that will install over 77GW of capacity in this and the next decade, and a total 110GW by 2050,” he says. “The 77GW forecast capacity will require capital expenditure amounting to over $240 billion to bring onstream, a recurring annual operations and maintenance spend of around $11 billion once delivered, and close to $35 billion of decommissioning expenditure at the end of commercial operations.”

Intelatus forecasts that 14 projects will get final investment decisions over the next 18 months.

E-series - Our new E-series thruster line

All political parties must engage with the oil and gas industry to secure the strong pipeline of talent and skills needed to reach its legally-binding climate targets, according to a survey of Westminster MPs by Offshore Energies UK (OEUK).

Almost half (45%) of politicians surveyed claim the UK has the people and skills needed to deliver cleaner energy sources through the development of technologies including wind, solar, hydrogen and carbon capture.

“We have the necessary knowledge and expertise, which we have honed over decades of work in the North Sea, and these skills will be needed to overcome the inevitable challenges that will come as we expand into cleaner technologies,” said Alix Thom, workforce and skills manager, OEUK.

“In fact, many of our members are already developing cleaner energy projects, playing an important role in the expansion to wind, hydrogen and carbon capture. It is vital that we cultivate a strong national talent pipeline, which will enable the younger generation to contribute towards the production of wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, usage and storage, as well as oil and gas that will be required in the years to come.”

Recent research indicates that over 90% of

three quarters (73%) of MPs said they believe the UK’s net zero goals can only be achieved through collaboration with the oil and gas sector, which currently provides 75% of the nation’s energy needs.

However, the majority (55%) of MPs claim that the declining number of applications for energy-related higher education courses is a concern, with 18-24 year olds making up just 12% of the total workforce.

Consequently, a third (34%) of officials believe that the way the media and politicians talk about the transition to wind, solar, hydrogen and carbon capture deters young people in the UK from working or training in the energy industry.

The survey also underlined that there is no simple choice between oil and gas on the one hand and renewables on the other.

OEUK said that the reality is that to keep the lights on and grow the UK economy, both are needed. By the mid-2030s, oil and gas will still provide for 50% of the UK’s energy needs.

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

Alix Thom, workforce and skills manager, OEUK

Fugro has been awarded a geophysical survey contract for two offshore windfarm sites in Germany’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the North Sea.

The contract, awarded by Germany’s Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, the Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH), will see Fugro work in in collaboration with Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES).

”Our demonstrated track record of delivering high-quality geo-data efficiently has proven to be a great fit with BSH’s workflow,” said Connor Schulze, Bbusiness development manager of renewables Germany, Fugro.

“Fugro is committed to supporting the German government’s energy transition goals, and we are excited to continue our successful partnership with BSH to contribute to the development of German offshore windfarms.”

Geo-data expertise

Fugro’s geo-data will be integrated with its ultra high resolution multichannel seismic data (UHR MCS) and used by BSH to develop geological models of the offshore sites and support subsequent geotechnical investigations.

The project will see Fugro mobilising a dedicated survey vessel to perform high-

precision positioning, sub-bottom profiling recording and interpretation.

Additionally, Fraunhofer IWES will be responsible for conducting the multichannel seismic survey, dedicated data processing and interpretation. A dense data raster will be generated totalling 2393 km survey lines.

The collaboration of know-how and resources between both teams will produce a preliminary subsurface model that can be

used as the basis for future geotechnical survey campaigns, as well as to reduce the risk for the future installation of the windfarms. The sites are due to be auctioned in the coming years and will play a significant role in Germany’s energy transition plan, which aims to achieve a target of 30 GW by 2030.

8 Fugro is an expert in the deployment of seismic equipment

French utility RTE (Réseau de Transport d’Electricité) has hired geo-data specialist Fugro to check out sites for planned floating wind farm substations in the Mediterranean.

Two floating wind farms are set to be installed in the Gulf of Lion, which lies off the coast of southern France and northeast Spain, in the Occitanie region.

Fugro has mobilised its Gargano vessel, which is equipped with all the necessary drilling, sampling and cone penetration testing equipment required for carrying out deep borehole investigations to present accurate geodata for foundation planning.

The cost of connecting the installation to the electricity network on land is estimated at around €40 million.

France has planned auctions of 2GW per year from 2025, according to WindEurope, the European industry alliance. Each of the Gulf of Lion sites will be installed with the capacity to generate 750MW, Fugro says.

In February, Fugro said it was buying two platform supply vessels to re-purpose into geotechnical vessels. The 83.4m long, 60-berth Topaz Endurance and Topaz Energy were both built in 2015 and designed by Ulstein.

Fugro says the vessels are energy efficient and can be converted to hybrid propulsion.

BREAKTHROUGH SHEDS LIGHT ON UNSEEN OCEAN DEPTHS

A ground-breaking development by the UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is set to revolutionise ocean research by integrating novel sensor technology into routine offshore infrastructure and operations

Known as BORAbox, the technology will be incorporated into commercial remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other offshore infrastructure, allowing data collection from areas of the ocean that were previously inaccessible to scientists.

The BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance, a collaboration between the NOC and Subsea7, has successfully launched the first series of ROVs equipped with the BORAbox. These sensors are currently collecting invaluable data aboard Subsea7 vessels in the South Atlantic, offshore Brazil, and with further launches planned for Norway, Australia and other locations around the world.

Developed by NOC scientists, the product is an integrated suite of sensors designed to measure the total alkalinity of seawater. This measurement is crucial for understanding the ocean’s health and its ability to resist a decrease in pH levels. By providing comprehensive data on alkalinity, the BORAbox should help global efforts to study climate and ocean changes and help with predictions.

“This launch is an exciting moment for ocean research,” said Dr Carla Sands, the BORA project manager at the National Oceanography Centre. “So much of our ocean remains unexplored. This new technology allows us to dramatically increase our monitoring capabilities in areas of the ocean. By studying pH and alkalinity, we can dramatically inform future studies and help authorities around the world mitigate much more effectively the effects of climate change in the ocean.”

Initial focus

The BORAbox will initially focus on monitoring crucial parameters such as temperature, salinity, depth, and the carbonate system. These measurements are vital for assessing the overall health of the oceans. The data collected will be analysed by scientists and used to support further ocean observation studies, as well as shape comprehensive global assessments of ocean health. As the project expands with additional launches in various locations, new data will represent a significant advance on currently available information, which is often limited in scope and outdated by the time it becomes accessible.

Dr Sands emphasised the need for up-to-date information, especially with regard to CO2 levels. Approximately 25% of man-made CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean, which

helps regulate CO2 levels in the atmosphere. However, excessive CO2 absorption can lead to ocean acidification and harm marine ecosystems.

The BORA project exemplifies the NOC’s commitment to collaborating with key industry partners to provide data for evidence-based policymaking. By delivering accurate information about the state of the oceans, the NOC aims to ensure that decision makers are well informed about the ocean’s condition.

“Subsea7 is excited and committed to this dynamic and innovative relationship, bringing science and industry together, having now installed a BORAbox on our vessel, Seven Pacific, working in Brazil, said Liz James, Subsea7’s group environmental director. “We will be fitting more BORAboxes to our global fleet, enabling greater ocean access to scientific research and advancing global knowledge for the benefit of understanding the ocean, biodiversity and the impact from our operations on the environment.”

More than 150 attendees met up in London at the end of April to discuss new ideas for collaborating on the Ocean Census, the largest programme in history to assess life in the oceans.

Meeting at the Royal Institution in London, the parties set an ambitious target of finding at least 100,000 marine species in the first decade.

From discussions about bringing on board the dive community right through to programmes for school children to become citizen scientists, the launch provided a rare face-to-face opportunity for this optimistic but determined set of specialists to spark ideas together.

Knowledge gathered will revolutionise our understanding of life on Earth and how to protect the ocean – the environment responsible for much of the air we breathe, regulating our climate, and a vital food source for billions.

The issue

Scientists believe little more than 10% of what lives in our seas has been found and there are around two million species still undiscovered. Ocean Census builds on major programmes of the past, including The Challenger Expeditions (1872-1876, the birth of modern marine

GLOBAL INITIATIVE AIMS TO FIND 100,000 OCEAN SPECIES

science) and The Census of Marine Life (2000-2010). The project is a global collaborative initiative, an open network of science, business, media and civil society organisations joining forces. It has been founded by The Nippon Foundation, the largest non-profit foundation in Japan that focuses on philanthropy through social

innovation, and Nekton, a UK-based marine science and conservation institute. The project’s headquarters are in Oxford with the first Ocean Census Biodiversity Centre at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

“Ocean life makes all life on Earth possible

and holds the wisdom of four billion years of our evolution on Earth. We can’t protect what we don’t know exists,” said Yohei Sasakawa, chairman of The Nippon Foundation, at the launch. “Ocean Census is full of dreams and wonder, and cannot be accomplished by the Nippon Foundation and Nekton alone. We would like to unravel the mysteries of the ocean, in collaboration with ocean research institutes, businesses, governments, the public, philanthropy and civil society.”

Turbocharging taxonomy

For the past 200 years, the work of finding and scientifically describing species (taxonomy) has been a slow, methodical process – the average rate of new species discovery hasn’t changed much since the 1800s, standing at around 2,000 a year.

“Revolutions in technologies such as digital imaging, sequencing and machine learning now make it possible to discover ocean life at speed and at scale,” said Professor Alex Rogers, Ocean Census Science Director. “It currently takes one to two years to several decades to describe a new species after it is collected by scientists but using new technologies and sharing the knowledge gained using cloud-based approaches, it will now only take a few months.”

Over the coming years, scientists from around the world will embark on dozens of expeditions to the ocean’s biodiversity hotspots to find new life from the surface to full ocean depth. Combining vessels from philanthropic, government and commercial fleets, they will be deploying a combination of advanced subsea technologies with divers, submarines and deep-sea robots.

The aggregated, open-sourced data will be added to a network of data centres globally and made freely accessible to scientists, decision makers, and the public.

“We are extremely proud of this opportunity where toplevel sport and shipbuilding meet and match in quality, passion and progressive approach.”

The ferry is to be deployed in the summer of 2024 in a key location, still under wraps, but in the vicinity of where major sporting events are held.

Wärtsilä to model decarbonisation tech on ferries

The technology giant Wärtsilä will carry out what it calls ‘decarbonisation modelling’ on two vessels in the Corsica Ferries fleet. Using a digital model, it will study the effect of various decarbonisation technologies on the vessels’ environmental compliance, which it says will enable more accurate evaluation of how to improve efficincy through technology.

COLLABORATION SET UP TO COMBAT INCREASING CYBER RISK

An industrial cyber security solution by global exposure management firm Tenable OT has been adopted by technology giant Wärtsilä to address cyber security risks, from ransomware to navigation systems being hacked and a vessel not being able to sail, that are increasingly plaguing shipping

Tenable OT’s product is based on gaining a full inventory of a vessel’s software so that it can gain a complete understanding of what is behind the screens, monitor vulnerabilities and communicate risks with a view to prioritising necessary actions.

”There are always some unique risks with maritime, like tampering with the sensoring - faking where the vessel is going, pretend it’s somewhere it’s not - but most of the risks are like those in other industries,” says Matti Suominen, director Maritime Cyber Security at Wärtsilä.

“It’s a business now. Anyone who wants to run crime as a business can do it from anywhere now, and it’s people trying to earn money - which means it’s tricky because you are facing people who have the financial means to carry this out and they are able to make a very good living out of it.”

He says research shows that businesses are paying up to ransomware criminals, although it is difficult to get statistics because victims rarely report it. It’s only a matter of time before it gets worse in the maritime sector, he says.

“We’ve been looking for the perfect tool for about six years, starting with power plants,” says Ross Bailey, cyber security expert at Wärtsilä. “We decided on Tenable OT, which uses proprietory protocols to do active scanning. A lot of these tools are passive scanning - they use a SPAN port to look at traffic on the network and do analysis like that - but what we wanted was this active scanning so that we could actually query PLCs (programmable logic controllers) in a safe way but also at factory acceptance testing. It’s very impressive, the amount of information you can extract.”

An asset list is thus created, which is added to Tenable OT’s database - which customers can see, and which Tenable OT can alert them to if they notice anything unusual - with the ultimate aim of setting up digital twins, perhaps for a vessel or for a power plant system.

In the past, the suppliers who installed the equipment for Wärtsilä’s customers created an asset list in an Excel spreadsheet. The manual process was time consuming, error prone, and only relevant for a specific point in time. Technicians had to merge files when new devices were added.

“The workflow of the Tenable OT Security tool was a great fit for our own needs but beyond that, we realised that using the solution allowed us to develop and introduce new services to benefit our customers too,” says Bailey.

“One of the key reasons that people look at the Tenable product suite is that we provide coverage for a variety of cyber security installations - in this case our OT productwhich is really good for industrial installations,” says Marty Edwards, vice president of Operational Technology Security at Tenable OT.

“If that was a cargo ship, for example, going into a port, it’s likely that the cranes and industrial machinery in that port were also being monitored by Tenable OT solutions - Tenable cyber solutions literally span all aspects of a business,

whether it’s a floating ship, or a cloud-based e-commerce platform, our customers can get the data they need and we can put it into a common, analytical platform.

“One of the challenges in the past was these solutions were specialised - the ship’s systems didn’t necessarily communicate with anything else.”

Threats growing visibly within five years

“I would say that the maritime industry is in a bit of a state where we are starting to get the push from the market,” says Suominen. “Five years ago, cyber security wasn’t a major theme - now we are at the point where it makes a lot more sense to be aware. We are definitely early rather than late on this one. But I think a lot of companies are outsourcing this kind of thing that they can’t do in house.”

Tenable has been in business for more than 20 years, and acquired a company in 2019 that designed and patented the specific capability to do this sort of thing - the ‘black box’ computers in ships that also exist in water treatment plants or power grids around the world, says Edwards.

“So we integrated our expertise from the IT side of the house and specialised expertise from the OT side, to come up with a tooling technology that enables you to query the status of an asset no matter what that asset is,” says Edwards. “We basically build a map of all these devices on a vessel and how they communicate with each other, to continually evaluate the threat against these networks.”

”There are a lot of requirements coming out now, new cyber requirements going into force next year,” says Suominen. “Some owners know, some of them don’t. We are becoming one of those industries where cyber security is becoming part of the daily work, and solutions like this one are part of how we tackle those problems. It’s not just something that IT nerds are doing somewhere else that’s not my problem.”

ABB says its integrated power and propulsion system will comprise two Azipod propulsion units and an onboard DC grid power system for both vessels, including ABB’s Power and Energy Management System.The new vessels will replace Tursas and Uisko, says ABB, and will work alongside Turva to guard the country’s borders, perform maritime rescue operations and help mitigate environmental impacts.

“The new vessels will also serve as command bases for other vessels, helicpopters, rescue swimmers, divers, and, when necessary, other public security authorities during joint operations,” ABB says. “With them, the ability to carry out mass evacuations will grow to more than 400 people and the capacity to collect spilled oil will approximately double from the present level.

”Finland’s coastline is a tough one to guard, with rocky waters, a jagged shoreline and hard winter- conditions. ABB says its propulsors will

provide the manoeuvrability and ice-breaking capabilities needed to provide crew comfort in these conditions.

“Our new patrol vessels will be at sea about 330 days a year, performing operations under busy and diverse conditions,” said Commander Marko Aheristo, Head of Ship Technical Unit at the Finnish Border Guard. “The vessels are designed for low-emission operations and for energy efficiency, and need a versatile and sophisticated power and propulsion system based on advanced,

proven technology. ABB provides us with an integrated package that meets our stringent requirements, ensuring rapid functional capacity and continuous readiness to keep people, property and nature safe.”

ABB is gaining presence in the coast guard segment, working with Canada to modernise 10 of its coast guard vessels and extend their lifespan by 20 years, it claims.

In 2019, the Norwegian Coast Guard’s KV Svalbard became the first ever Azipodpowered ship to reach the North Pole, it says.

DIGITAL TWIN TECH STREAMLINES PORT MANAGEMENT

In 2021 Ireland’s largest port published a tender for an ambitious digital mapping system to manage all assets, complementing administrative, operational, and engineering requirements.

Finland-headquartered former survey industry company GISGRO has now fulfilled the requirements, providing a complete system for managing Dublin Port Company’s GIS and asset-related data, which was formerly shared to several data storages.

GISGRO’s background in survey has played an important part in delivering a system to visualise the port’s quarterly hydrographic survey data in 2D and 3D, monitoring depths, scouring and dredging aspects.

In addition to the original tender, GISGRO is providing other functionalities such as berth planning and 3D modelling information with specifically built tools for the harbourmaster’s department. GISGRO says the new system delivers significant business benefits to Dublin Port, including efficiency, increased safety, and better communications.

A starting point

GISGRO’s port digitisation projects start with the creation of a comprehensive map view of the port area with assets, their information and history, covering buildings, bollards, utilities, and quays.

Dublin Port Company’s digitalisation began by uploading the selected asset data and survey datasets. The port saved time and human resources by including the data migration within the tender, and therefore most of the digitisation was performed by GISGRO.

place for port data, available 24/7. Whether you need to visualise bathymetry and access berth and bollard information for berth planning purposes or find key holder information for a building, everything is just few clicks away.”

Learning and support

According to GISGRO, training port staff takes only a couple of hours. In tricky situations, a named customer support person and live chat option with a GISGRO support person can be provided.

Support for most of the common data formats allows the port to use the platform for 2D files and all kinds of 3D data, such as hydrographic survey data, LiDAR scans and BIM models.

As a next step towards improved situational awareness for port operations and asset management, IoT (Internet of Things) and other live sensors have been connected to the central GISGRO package. This can include, for example, the integration of AIS, tidal and weather stations. The cloudbased solution enables easy access to a real-time view of port conditions from any location at any time.

The company says this does not mean the port cannot control some or all of its future data uploads. Indeed, the port can easily bring new datasets, assets and asset-related information to the platform independently when necessary.

In this case, Dublin contracted a drone survey for the whole port, which brings orthoimages and 3D models within a centimetre accuracy into the platform. A combination of the 2D and 3D data and asset information creates the base of the port’s digital twin and enableshighly accurate digital mapping.

‘’Ports work with several different types of data and having all that data at your fingertips in a visual cloud-based GIS platform creates a significant value for different stakeholders around the port,” said Ville Mäkeläinen, CBDO at GISGRO. “GISGRO offers the customer a single reference source – one

One important criterion in the Dublin tender was the intuitive nature of the solution, which is one of the main principles of GISGRO’s design. The user interface was optimised for conducting tasks such as berth planning, asset management, maintenance, project management and use of hydrographic survey data.

Tristan Murphy, Assistant Harbour Master at Dublin Port Company, said: “GISGRO includes all of the tools for the safe, efficient and effective management of the port including asset management, bathymetry and vessel planning. The ability to visualise the port environment and information is of great benefit for our marine teams and key stakeholders creating a shared mental model.”

The contract for digitising work and tailored port management solutions by GISGRO runs for five years.

Gothenburg Port Authority is to become a partner in Eolus’s Västvind offshore wind power project in order to fulfill its future energy demands.

The port’s own forecasts for future electricity consumption show a multi-fold increase in the need for power. The farm will be able to generate renewable electricity corresponding to the current electricity consumption of all of Gothenburg.

“The world’s major ports will become energy hubs and centres for the manufacture of hydrogen gas and e-fuel for maritime traffic. The Port of Gothenburg’s strategy is to lead the green transition of maritime traffic, but this position will not come about without some effort,” said Elvir Dzanic, CEO of the Gothenburg Port Authority.

“Access to green electricity will be entirely crucial for the port’s development and competitiveness. Investing in offshore wind power is therefore a strategic decision for us.”

Spiralling demand

There is already a severe deficit in electricity generation in the region, as countries are experiencing, and demand for electricity is expected to double by 2035.

COST ROCKETS FOR MAJOR PORT TRANSFORMATION

A multi-million euro engineering project to transform the Italian Port of Genoa has had its first stone laid – as the cost estimates for the works shot up by 30%

Last October, the Pergenova Breakwater Consortium, led by Italian building firm Webuild Group, won a contract from the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority to build a 6,200m breakwater for €930 million.

Last week, at the stone-laying ceremony, the figure had gone up to €1.3 billion.

Webuild Senior Manager – International Media Relations Gilles Castonguay would not say why the cost had gone up since the contract was awarded, however he did say the project was unique in the world for scale and complexity.

The new 6.2km breakwater will be built on a base as deep as 50 metres, constructed with seven million tonnes of rock material and 100 prefabricated, reinforced concrete caissons each similar in height to a 10-storey building.

It will provide safe access for modern ships up to 450 metres in length, which at the current port cannot manoeuvre within a basin built in the 1930s.

“Once completed, the port will have a turning basin of 800 metres, giving more space for freight, passenger and cruise ships,” says Webuild. “This will enable the Port of Genoa to compete on an equal footing with Europe’s biggest hubs and raise its standing among those of the Mediterranean.

Brenner Base Tunnel and other projects

It’s not just the port that is undergoing major change: other public works in the Ligurian region and northern Italy have been worked on at the same time as the port so that Genoa can become a major part of the Rhine-Alpine Corridor in the Trans-European Transport Network (known as TEN-T).

These other works include a high-speed railway through Italy’s longest tunnel under the mountains connecting Genoa with Milan and beyond (Terzo Valico dei Giovi-Genoa Juncture); and a TELT high-speed railway between Turin and Lyon.

On top of that and touted as being the longest of its kind in the world is the 64km Brenner Base Tunnel, which will have to pass under the Isarco River, two motorways and another railway line to connect Fortezza in Italy with Innsbruck in Austria.

The Brenner tunnel is being developed by BBT, a European public limited company half of which is owned by the Tunnel Ferroviario del Brennero (TFB) on behalf of Italy, the other half by Austrian railway firm Österreichische Bundesbahnen.

“It is estimated that the new breakwater will ensure a progressive annual growth in commercial traffic of 22-30% from 2027 to 2030, when the second phase of the project will be completed.

“The port authority estimates the economic benefit will be €4.2 billion in terms of greater income from container traffic, and from port rights and taxes.”

Speaking at the ceremony last week held to mark the opening of the work, Webuild chief executive Pietro Salini said the breakwater was ‘the dream of a country that thinks of the future, of our children, of how to be competitive in the world, and of how to build quickly the infrastructure that is needed’.

“This project is not a challenge for Webuild or the government but for the entire country that must have infrastructure that is innovative and strategic,” he said.

Other members of the consortium include Fincantieri

Webuild says the tunnel excavation under the river will have to be done in a particular way to avoid diverting the river’s natural course, as well as use liquid nitrogen to freeze the ground so that a second tunnel can be excavated without the risk of water leaking into it as the work is carried out.

Two bridges have had to be built over the river so that transport connections can be maintained while the tunnel is built, which is not scheduled to be completed until 2032.

Infrastructure Opere Maritime, civil engineering firms Fincosit and Sidra, who have been tasked with completing the first phase of the project by 2026.

The 120km2 Port of Antwerp area is now surveilled by six new pairs of eyes following the work of a partnership among the port and three tech firms.

The ‘D-Hive drone-in-a-box’ network has been achieved by DroneMatrix, SkeyDrone and Proximus working with the port of Antwerp-Bruges to ‘offer a unique perspective from the air’ in allowing port operators to control the port’s functions efficiently.

The drones will help in a range of functions, including berth management, monitoring, inspecting infrastructure, oil spill and other floating waste, and to add security assistance when needed.

There will be 18 flights a day, remotely controlled from a control centre in the centre of the port, and the network will be used to develop a digital twin of the port.

“Given the huge surface area of the port, drones provide us with leverage when it comes to carrying out our core tasks as a port authority,” said port CEO Jacques Vandermeiren. “This drone network will play a crucial role in the further roll-out of the port’s digital twin, a digital copy based on thousands of pieces of data from a network of cameras, sensors and drone, giving a real-time picture of what is happening at the

HYDROSURV SELLS THREE USVS TO NEW CUSTOMER

USV maker HydroSurv has announced the sale of three uncrewed surface vessels to one new customer

MSeis has taken delivery of three inland multi-purpose USVs to carry out marine acoustic monitoring and support services to the marine surveying industry, HydroSurv says.

The three vessels are Rapid Environment Assessment Vessels (REAV), and each is equipped with Kuda Core autopilot technologies by EIVA. They are suitable platforms for mounting hydrophone arrays or calibrated hydrophones that can be towed or posistioned accurately on station.

These particular models, the REAV-16s, are the smallest in the HydroSurv range and are designed for a wide range of inland and more sheltered water environments. They are battery-electric and as such perform their tasks with little noise.

“We envisage numerous new applications such as cetacean mitigation and absolute noise measurement as well as the more standard hydrographic designation,” said MSeis managing director Mark Higginbottom. “Simple deployment, requiring no specialised equipment, was also seen by MSeis as a real advantage.”

“These battery electric USVs are an easy choice for customers like MSeis demanding portability and payload carrying performance,” said David Hull, founder & CEO of HydroSurv. “The purchase of multiple platforms will allow MSeis to multiply the productivity and efficiency gains offered by small USVs and we’re confident they will deliver outstanding performance and results for this important new customer.”

JF Subtech charters Olympic Subsea vessel

James Fisher Subtech has signed a charter agreement with Olympic Subsea for exclusive use of its multipurpose offshore vessel Olympic Taurus.

JF Subtech and sister firm JF Renewables will both use the vessel, which has already been fitted with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and mobilised in northern Scotland for UXO (unexploded ordnance) identification, survey and disposal in the North Sea.

Once that project is completed, the vessel will be sent to work in and around the UK and Europe with a focus on UXO activities along with other core services.

“JF Subtech is incredibly proud to welcome the Olympic Taurus, our second

chartered vessel for 2023,” said Mike Bailey, asset and operations director at JF Subtech. “As the vessel market tightens, she will prove to be a reliable and capable asset at a predictable cost base, deployed on various WROV projects for our customers in the energy sector.

“The agreement allows us the flexibility to continue supporting our existing customers with our core capabilities whilst simultaneously supporting the wider UK offshore energy industry.”

The news follows JF Subtech’s recent announcement of its first seasonal charter agreement for IRM and subsea construction vessel Edda Savanah.

An undersea glider has been launched from an aircraft for the first time, opening up possibilities for ocean research.

Teledyne Marine, in partnership with the US Navy, has reached a milestone by successfully deploying an undersea glider from a helicopter, marking it the first launch of a glider Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) from an aircraft.

The Teledyne Slocum glider, known for its long-endurance capabilities and very low noise signature, is an essential component of the US Navy Littoral Battlespace SensingGlider (LBS-G) programme. Since 2009, more than 210 Slocum gliders have been delivered, making them a crucial asset for the programme. The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) pilots the LBS gliders and uses the data collected to support Navy operations.

In this deployment, a Teledyne-owned Slocum glider, equipped with LBS-G Mine Countermeasures sensors (MCM), was launched from the ramp of a US Navy helicopter flying at a low altitude over shallow waters. Teledyne Marine provided the necessary piloting and technical support for the glider during the operation.

“We are excited to be a part of another series of firsts! In this instance, the first launch from a helicopter and the first-ever successful glider deployment from an aircraft,” said Dr Thomas Altshuler, senior vice president of Global Maritime Defense Strategy and Business Development at Teledyne Technologies. “Teledyne Marine takes pride in our continued innovation and support of the US Navy as it expands the operational envelope of underwater gliders.”

This milestone demonstrates Teledyne Marine’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and this additional launch capability is anticipated to filter down to other areas of the maritime industry, such as ocean research, where gliders are used extensively.

A WWII Japanese transport ship carrying almost 1,000 Australian prisoners of war has been discovered at the bottom of the South China Sea 80 years after it was torpedoed.

The Montevideo Maru, which had been on its way from today’s Papua New Guinea to the southern Chinese island of Hainan, was spotted at a depth of four kilometres 110km north west of Luzon in the Philippines by a Fugro Hugin autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).

All shipwrecks are tragedies, but this one was even more poignant as she was torpedoed by a United States submarine whose crew did not realise she was carrying POWs.

The Hugin was deployed from the hydrographic survey vessel Fugro Equator on April 6 and just 12 days later a positive sighting was made, says Fugro. Fugro Equator was built in 2012, is 65.65m in length and can accommodate 42 people.

Verification of the wreck came a few days later using expert analysis from the project team, which comprised maritime archaeologists, conservationists, operations and research specialists, and ex-naval officers.

An estimated 979 Australian citizens, 850 of them soldiers, were killed on the vessel, along with civilians from 13 other countries.

OFFSHORE USVS – THE BETTER, SAFER OPTION?

The use of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for survey work has rocketed, and for good reason

As Frank Relou of Sea Machines says, stricter survey tracks means fewer runs back and forward to cover gaps in data, and the combination of “accuracy and boredom” isn’t a good combination for human crew. This issue only grows with distance from harbour.

It matters, because according to CEO Trond Crantz of Argeo, investment in the offshore energy sector is growing at a massive rate; and as James Cowles of L3 Harris says, commercial customers are saying that right now, offshore wind is the place to be.

When Kristoffer Fortun of Maritime Robotics says he has seen rising demand for unmanned missions “that reach further, deeper into the blue”, he’s talking about a substantial driver.

More payload needs bigger vessels

With this comes a demand for even clearer, more detailed images, requiring larger, higher-spec sensors and enough energy for longer-range operations: but also more bulk to carry it all, he points out.

For example, to support Argeo’s offshore inspection and mapping services, Maritime Robotics had to move from its established 2m, nearshore unmanned survey craft to a 9m, 25-day-endurance USV.

The purpose-built Mariner X is a monohull rather than a multihull, with lines reminiscent of a miniature PSV (Platform Supply Vessel), including a low-drag inverted bow designed to slough through the water.

That’s a direct Oil & Gas crossover, admits Fortun, and says there’s another service vessel addition: it’s fitted with a Seakeeper gyro stabiliser to mitigate the pitch-and-roll motion of steeper seas.

The response by L3 Harris is arguably even more dramatic – at least where size is concerned.

“We’re expanding very much out of our traditional 4 to 8m market and starting to move into the 15m and 24m space,” says Cowles.

In fact, the company’s 15m USV – which should enter build this year – will potentially have more than 2,000nm endurance, be able to reach the next generation of wind farms 100 or 150 miles offshore and then continue “ploughing up and down for days and days on end, sucking up data”, he says.

It will have a smaller towed platform (of users’ choice) hitching a ride: automatically launched and recovered from the stern, and this will help keep the sensor data as clean as possible.

Remote and autonomy

There is, however, another issue that goes hand in hand with larger, completely unmanned designs. As Fortun says, while a collision with a small survey USV tends not to be critical “if you’re doing 12 knots with 7 tonnes, you have some damage potential”.

Managing this requires another look at the ‘remote vs autonomy’ question.

Relou says shorter-range remote surveys can use costeffective 4G and 5G systems, but for missions further away from shore, most customers rely on satellite links “which we have packaged to use a really limited bandwidth”.

However, there’s still unavoidable delay in these signals: he added the inherent latency means that if you need to communicate back and forth to manage a potential incident, “then you’re already probably too late”.

As a result, onboard edge computing is becoming more relevant to COLREGS compliance.

For example, Relou says the Sea Machines system lets the autonomous command and control system make all decisions, such as collision avoidance manoeuvres, adding that recently

developed ‘computer vision’ adds another dimension, replicating (as far as possible), the human eye and brain.

While basic fall-back procedures can be built into these systems – such as simply stopping –responses can be somewhat more complex and require juggling different priorities: for example, avoiding an oncoming vessel when there’s a grounding risk, says Nigel Lee of Robosys.

“You really should know whether what’s out there is a fishing boat, a yacht under sail or a power-driven vessel,” he says.

While AIS can provide some identification, if that’s missing, the USV should still recognise the other’s capabilities and manoeuvre accordingly, he says. All this is pushing the development of integrated ‘perception’ systems capable of differentiating between various vessels (as well as navigational aids, man-made structures and marine detritus) from high-res camera images as well as other input. But those systems need a lot of data sets and training, requiring resources and time.

Not everyone entirely agrees with this ‘recognition’ requirement. While L3 Harris has put a lot of work into machine vision and learning to yield safe navigational autonomy, Cowles makes the point that if you get close enough to the other vessel for recognition to be an issue, whether it’s a sailing boat or a power boat, you’ve got too close.

Togetherness

It will take a while for both trust – and rules – to become fully established, says Lee.

Relou concurs, and says the main business for Sea Machines is largely centred on workboat retrofits.

“The majority of these are still minimum-manned rather than completely autonomous,” he says.

So, many look toward using autonomous systems in a supporting role. For example, a large US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contract saw Sea Machines technology onboard a 9m workboat: deployed alongside a crewed mothership, it neatly demonstrated it could deal with variable shallows, obstructions and unpredictable seas. While this approach doesn’t yield the fuel or CO2 savings accruing to a fully unmanned mission, the USV still significantly increased the operator’s on-water productivity, roughly doubling its coverage.

Indeed, Cowles underlined that using USVs as “force multipliers” remains a key consideration for L3 Harris, and explained that while both the 15m platform and its bigger sister can work completely unmanned, the 24m USV will retain some provision for crew, partly to meet particular demands, and pragmatically, to carry out repairs at sea.

This larger boat has a rather different remit as it will host the kind of work-class ROVs normally seen on a 60m-plus platform supply vessel: capable of offshore inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) missions, it stands to deliver “massive efficiencies”, said Cowles.

However, unlike smaller USVs, which have been successfully designed for energy storage, L3 Harris’ larger platforms will rely on combustion engines.

In fact, the onboard power demand has particular relevance for all concerned in this arena: Fortun admitted that even if Maritime Robotics’ Mariner X had a battery and was plastered with solar panels, it couldn’t complete its three-and-a-half week, 4-knot missions: as a result, it’s also diesel-driven “as at this point, we cannot go fully electric”.

Still, Fortun stressed that this USV is a replacement for a fully crewed survey vessel going from 12m3 of fuel a day down to less than 100 litres, which yields a 95% drop in CO2.

Like Relou, Cowles recognises the discomfort and boredom inherent in most missions.

“People reach a certain age and say, ‘I don’t want to be sat on a boat for 30 days… I want to go home to a cooked meal’,” he says.

“Autonomy’s here,” says Cowles. “It’s proven, it’s ready. It’s going to save time - and be safer”.

AUVs

It’s a very different arena, but there is also a growing demand for extremely clever unmanned underwater vessels, according to Stene Førsund of Kongsberg Discovery.

For example, Kongsberg’s 4m Hugin Edge has enough onboard intelligence to lift the requirement for detailed, specialist knowledge about the machine itself: the AUV can be left to calculate waypoints, operational parameters and sensor configuration given objectives such as sounding density and so forth. This gives its operators the freedom to move to ‘goal-based’ planning rather than get caught up by the nuts and bolts of the mission.

Førsund says useful decisions can be made autonomously, as this allows updating plans on the hoof. The Edge AUV is “pretty smart”, he said: “If it sees an object of interest it can come back for a detailed inspection, take pictures and so on.”

It might seem that the drive towards better onboard intelligence applies as much to craft under the water.

“While you can carry out some tasks remotely, what we’re really seeing is that the capacity [to respond to new information] should be built into the autonomy,” Førsund says.

WIND FARM SEABED INSPECTION WITH UNCREWED VESSELS

Leading renewable energy company Vattenfall has achieved a significant breakthrough in offshore wind farm operations by conducting the first large-scale seabed survey using uncrewed surface vessels

The results of the most recent survey have been overwhelmingly positive, not only from an environmental perspective but also in terms of improved safety. This milestone paves the way for broader implementation of this cutting-edge technology in the renewable energy industry.

The project began during the late summer and early autumn of 2022, when Vattenfall successfully conducted extensive seabed surveys at several of its offshore wind farms in Denmark, Sweden and the UK. Facilitated by XOcean, these surveys play a crucial role in monitoring changes in cable burial depth and scour development, essential for maintenance and repair activities. Traditionally, such surveys have been carried out using crewed vessels, which consume huge amounts of fuel and emit carbon dioxide.

“When we issued the tender for seabed surveys across our Danish wind farms, we received a compelling proposal utilizing uncrewed vessels,” said Rasmus Juncher, senior lead geophysicist at Vattenfall. “After observing their successful deployment in smaller-scale trials, we were intrigued to see their effectiveness on a larger scale.

“This technology offers substantial fuel savings compared to traditional survey vessels, and by controlling the vessel from an onshore operations centre, we can enhance safety and well-being by reducing offshore personnel exposure.”

The uncrewed vessels used in the survey are considerably smaller, with a total length of 4.5 metres, compared to their crewed counterparts. The smaller size, coupled with modern technology, enables fuel savings while maintaining survey quality and accuracy.

Vattenfall aims to expand the use of uncrewed vessels, envisioning their potential for visual inspections of assets above and below water and broader in-site investigations to support wind farm design. As the journey of autonomous vehicles begins, the possibilities for innovation and optimisation are seemingly limitless.

Sustainable data acquisition

The seabed survey was facilitated by XOcean, a leading ocean data acquisition company that has been using uncrewed survey services since 2019.

“Our uncrewed survey vessel platform offers a safe, reliable, and low-carbon solution for collecting ocean data,” said James Ives, CEO of XOcean. “We are delighted to support Vattenfall by providing sustainable data to meet their survey requirements throughout the development and operation of their offshore wind farms.”

Uncrewed vessels, which Vattenfall refers to as ‘sailing drones’, are revolutionising offshore operations. The vessels are remotely controlled by onshore operators, ensuring precision and efficiency in every mission, and in some cases slashing fuel consumption by up to 90%.

By eliminating the need for a crew in offshore environments, these vessels also contribute to enhanced health and safety standards with workers no longer exposed to the inherent risks associated with working in such challenging conditions.

Uncrewed vessels offer a safer alternative, allowing personnel to monitor operations from the comfort and security of onshore facilities.

During the summer and autumn of 2022, uncrewed vessels took centre stage as they conducted seabed surveys across Vattenfall’s offshore wind farms at Horns Rev 1, Horns Rev 3, and Krieger’s Flak in Denmark, as well as Lillgrund in Sweden and Thanet in the UK.

The deployment of uncrewed vessels in large-scale seabed surveys could also be a step towards safer and more environmentally friendly operations in the offshore wind industry.

The rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry calls for innovative solutions to meet the ongoing survey and data requirements at each phase of a wind farm’s lifespan.

Ireland’s XOcean and UK competitor Ocean Infinity, both leading ocean data acquisition companies, have emerged as a pioneers in this field, perhaps suggesting early stages of the British Isles representing the nucleus of a tech cluster in this.

Redfining subsea data systems

XOcean has introduced a groundbreaking platform that combines subsea acoustic transceivers and satellite broadband connections, creating a highly flexible and costeffective unmanned gateway to subsea systems. This platform enables real-time interaction from any location globally, enhancing data harvesting options.

XOcean’s turnkey offering plays a crucial role in supporting the development, construction, operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms worldwide.

Since their commercial launch in 2019, XOcean has completed more than 65,000 operational hours of survey for leading energy companies, working on more than 150 projects in 18 jurisdictions globally. They claim 12,000 hours of carbon-neutral uncrewed survey operations delivered to offshore wind farms in the first half of 2022 alone.

XOcean’s USVs offer full uncrewed Over The Horizon operations using satellite communications. Each USV sends real-time images and situational awareness data to XOcean’s Operations Centre, where a team of qualified USV Pilots keep watch and control the vessels 24/7. XOcean’s USV Pilots are responsible for collision avoidance.

XOcean’s USV system is also designed to comply with the requirements of existing IMO instruments.

Building experience

XOcean recently used these USVs to conduct a series of site surveys for bp’s Morgan and Mona offshore wind farms in the Irish Sea.

These wind farms, jointly developed by bp and EnBW, should have a generating capacity of 3GW by 2029. XOcean’s USVs were contracted to acquire high-resolution seabed

surveys, providing valuable insights for robust designs and efficient operations. The data collected also facilitated identifying viable options for export cable corridors, significantly reducing the carbon footprint.

XOcean has also been actively engaged in ongoing seabed monitoring and construction surveys at Ørsted’s Greater Changhua 1 & 2a Offshore Wind Farms in Taiwan.

With multiple surveys completed within various stages of the construction, the USVs have provided accurate and consistent views of the seabed. The data collected helps ensure the integrity of turbines, cables, and other critical infrastructure, enabling informed decisions during installation and development.

XOcean has also conducted a routine operations and maintenance inspection at Equinor’s Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm in the UK. Deploying multiple USVs equipped with advanced sensors, high-quality bathymetry and backscatter data was collected. This comprehensive dataset aided Reach Subsea and Equinor in identifying potential changes to the seabed that could impact the wind farm’s performance and integrity. The small size and agility of the USVs allowed for safe navigation even in challenging shallow waters.

While it undoubtedly has high-profile competitors, XOcean is clearly filling an important role in transforming offshore wind surveys and data collection, enabling cost-effective and sustainable operations throughout the lifecycle of wind farms.

The partnership with Vattenfall demonstrates how uncrewed surface vessels can be suitable for large-scale seabed surveys. As the offshore wind industry grows, XOcean’s solutions pave the way for increased efficiency, enhanced data collection and safer operations.

Uncrewed vessels represent a new era of efficiency, sustainability and safety in offshore operations and these capable little craft are shaping the future of the renewable energy industry.

THE BENEFITS OF MONITORING & CONTROL OFFSHORE

Mark Jones of PSM reviews the important role played by monitoring and control systems for floating wind platforms and looks at the benefits for operators and investors

Wind power is forecast to grow exponentially over the coming decades, taking its place as a major player in the renewable energy mix. The number of offshore wind farms in the world is still relatively small but gaining momentum with wide-scale commercial expansion expected into the 2030s. Moving offshore offers the potential for delivering greater capacity, with high wind speeds offering an abundance of year-round power. At the same time, installation in depths of 62 metres or more ensures a minimum of disruption to landside businesses and residents.

Floating wind farms offer the benefit of easier manufacture and installation, since they can be built partially on land and towed to site, which avoids the cost of specialist installation vessels, such as jackup and dynamic positioning vessels, and replaces them with cheaper tugboats and cable laying vessels.

Nevertheless, the cost of creating the infrastructure for offshore farms can be considerable.

Initially regarded as an expensive proposition, floating platforms are now becoming more attractive as a viable energy alternative however, with advances in technology and design significantly reducing the cost of construction and operation.

Economies of scale are expected to drive down costs still further, expediting growth as operators exploit opportunities for greater power production from offshore wind.

Control strategies

Key to the success of floating offshore wind operations is the need to optimise operation to minimise total life-cycle costs.

It is also essential in operation to maintain platform stability and anchoring to maximise energy production. Equally important, with wind turbine systems lasting for 25-30 years, is to protect valuable assets subject to harsh marine environments with low temperatures and extreme weather conditions, while also addressing health and safety challenges.

The intricate nature and diverse challenges of floating wind platforms are complicated still further by their offshore location.

Incorporating instrumentation to assist with monitoring control is central to keeping on top of on-platform conditions and can help with implementing a planned maintenance regime to cut costs and prolong the life of equipment, as well as avoiding safety incidents while ensuring the stability essential to optimising power capture.

Instrumentation solutions providers including PSM have responded to the challenge to provide reliable monitoring and control systems that can optimise platform stability and monitor performance in isolated sites, enabling remote monitoring.

Changing gear: dynamic control with digitalisation

Alongside technology advances in design and construction, new systems have emerged that exploit the advantages of digital technology to deliver truly dynamic control, with realtime monitoring. PSM’s Connect system, for example, is built

around a central processing module that interfaces directly with intelligent digital sensors via a multidrop network and receives other input signals via a range of interface cards.

These latest generation digital sensors collect information across the platform ensuring continuous, accurate monitoring of ballast and service tank levels and multiple point draught measurements, while also monitoring wave height, temperature and pressure. Balance and stability are thereby automatically regulated, with exception reporting where intervention may be required, helping to ensure safety in operation and correct positioning in relation to wind flows.

The newest systems allow multiple display points to be connected via a single ethernet link.

Remote internet connectivity assists with data collection and access by onshore computers as well as allowing remote updating and configuration.

Real-time data availability and in-built alarms not only provide early warning of issues with the potential to address these without site visits, but can also facilitate the implementation of strategic maintenance programmes.

A further benefit of digitalisation is a reduction in cabling requirements, with innovations in design enabling fast track implementation while reducing installation costs to maximise accessibility to the technology.

Case Study Example: Flood detection

An early system supplied by PSM in 2018 to Ideol’s Floatgen project made use of bilge/flood detection switches feeding into a PLC control unit, generating alarms and activating valve and drainage functions as required using heat pump control logic, based on the status of real-time inputs.

This system operates fully independently, but the status of all the switches, valves and pumps is presented to the platform’s remote SCADA system via a serial communication link.

CYBER RESILIENCE APPROVAL FOR DAMEN TRITON

Damen has received classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) Type Approval Certification for Cyber Resilience for its Triton Internet of Things (IoT) platform

As the quantity of digital data harvested from an increasing number of individual items of equipment on modern vessels increases, something that goes hand in hand with increasingly reliable connectivity, so does the ability for personnel ashore to share information with those on the vessel itself. In turn, owners and operators can take a proactive approach in both the operation, trouble-shooting and maintenance of their assets.

All Damen newbuilds, more than 150 a year including tugs and workboats, are fitted with the Triton platform. It allows data from a vessel’s engines, pumps, hydraulics, alarms and other equipment, amounting to more than 10,000 signals from a single vessel. to be communicated to the crew and others ashore. Triton can also be retrofitted to existing vessels as it can co-exist with legacy systems. Data are presented via on-board and remote dashboards, allowing the equipment health to be tracked along with maintenance scheduling and more.

As the importance of such data to the vessel’s operation increases, so does the requirement to ensure a high degree of cyber resilience. The recent receipt of type approval, described as ‘a significant milestone for the platform’, is the result of close collaboration between Damen Digital Solutions, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and BV.

Damen says that from the outset it has focused on cyber security and procedures with Triton’s development, including “hardening the gateway” and implementing procedures in software and firmware updates as well as data security at rest and transit along with a robust risk management process.

To achieve the type approval, Triton met cyber security requirements described in BV Rule Note NR 659 R02, also making it compliant with the requirement of IACS UR E27 that will enter force for all contracts signed after 1 January 2024.

Regu Ayyaswamy, Global Head, IoT & Digital Engineering, TCS said: “The Triton IoT Platform is the perfect example of how digital technology can transform an industry. It is an industry-leading solution that enables unlocking exponential business for Damen and also benefits its ecosystem and the wider society.

“TCS is proud to partner Damen Digital Solution BV in this unique initiative that will ensure best-in-class security measures for the Marine IoT ecosystem and will set an industry benchmark.”

Scantrol supplies control system for ROV

Scantrol has supplied the control systems for Hydramec’s umbilical management systems on board Fugro’s remotely operated underwater vessel (ROV).

Fugro Blue Volta ROV is integrated and deployed from an unmanned surface vessel (USV) to carry out remote inspection for offshore projects. The vessel uses Scantrol’s mTrack control system to make sure that the winch from Hydramec is safely operated.

“It is very inspiring to see the end-result of our work on these vessels, especially when we know that our customers are leading the way with technology that contributes to more sustainable operations,” commented Rolf Hjelmeland, vice president for Scantrol’s AHC and USVs.

Contractors are keen to reduce their environmental impact and moving to unmanned operations helps achieve this by reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Unmanned craft also have the benefit of reducing personnel costs and keeping health and safety risks to a minimum. With more than 20 orders for USV systems including for Europe’s first offshore oil inspections using USV and ROV, Scantrol remains focused on this area.

“Our next delivery to Hydramec and Fugro will have an even bigger scope and a new HMI developed together with the operators,” concluded Hjelmeland.

ISU 2022 POLLUTION SURVEY PUBLISHED

The International Salvage Union (ISU) has published its annual pollution prevention survey con

only to the shipping industry but to

“In an era of ‘zero tolerance’ of any pollution, even the smaller cases represent a significant concern.” These thoughts of the ISU reflect people’s attitudes both within and beyond the shipping industry and its image not only within its own circles but with the wider public.

As shipping safety in general improves it is important to recognise that any accompanying decrease in salvage capability, both in capacity and expertise, would be a recipe for disaster when inevitably, shipowners and insurers face making that urgent phone call asking for help.

Comparison is made with the previous year, but as one major casualty can skew annual statistics, longer term trends have also to be considered. The sheer numbers involved reveal the potential risks, but the focus will be on images of pollutants released into the environment rather than potential pollutants successfully contained within the vessel thanks to prompt salvage services.

Headline figures reveal that in 2022 (2021 figures in brackets) ISU members provided 186 services (226) carrying 2,605,072 million tonnes of potentially polluting cargo (2,595,216 million tonnes). The tonnes equivalent figure for containers is based on the nominal 15 tonnes per TEU and for 2022 stood at 747,270 tonnes or 49,818 TEU at nominal 15 tonnes/TEU compared with 1,559,025 tonnes and 103,935 nominal TEU in 2021.

While ISU acknowledges that the figures for containers in 2022 are lower than the previous year it is put into perspective when compared to the figure for crude oil of 140,900 tonnes (103,408 tonnes) indicating the scale of cargo being transported globally in containers.

Another factor, and an indication of the challenges salvage contractors face, is when considering where they are contracted to attend a casualty involving a ship carrying crude oil, refined oil products or chemicals. All involved will have a reasonably accurate picture of both the type and quantity of cargo contained therein. It is different however with ships loaded with boxes, the largest of which now have capacity for more than 24,000 20ft containers.

Cargo’s unknown contents

The master of such a ship commented once on social media that when he looks out of his bridge windows he has no real idea of what is inside the vast acreage of boxes in front of him, the crew’s accommodation sandwiched between deck cargo 10 containers high and 25 rows across, containing anything from bulk raw materials to completed products ready for the shelves and everything in between.

Problems for salvors with ship casualties include establishing the contents of containers, which can take time, along with identifying mis-declared contents, as ISU President Captain Nicholas Sloane says: “Boxes stuffed with harmful and dangerous goods including plastic pellets (nurdles) represent one of the biggest threats to the marine environment. They are potentially very damaging and, with

the added issue of misdeclaration of contents, dangerous to deal with.”

Bulk cargoes increased significantly in 2022 at 1,235,741 tonnes compared to 424,719 in 2021. The category includes products such as coal, scrap steel, grains, soya and cement. Some bulk cargoes are not classed as potential pollutants and ISU members provided services to bulkers carrying 113,926 tonnes of non-hazardous dry bulk, mainly metal ores.

As ships get larger so do their bunker capacity; indeed, many ships carry more fuel than smaller products tankers do as actual cargo, themselves viewed as potential pollution sources of note and ISU members reported 11 cases of vessels carrying more 2,000 tonnes of bunkers, total quantity being 108,112 tonnes.

Breaking down the 186 services in 2022, 12 were wreck removal/marine services contracts; 16 Lloyd’s Open Forms; 38 towage contracts; four Japanese forms; four lump sum; five day rate contracts; 84 other contracts (including commercial terms and common law salvage) and 23 Turkish Forms.

Pressing the case for a properly funded and professionally manned salvage industry, Captain Sloane added: “We are all now so much more aware of and careful about the environment. But we all need shipping, and incidents like the Suez Canal blockage demonstrated that reliance. The shipping and insurance industries recognise their responsibilities and the importance of maintaining their ‘licence to operate’ and the availability of emergency response services is a critical part of meeting those responsibilities.”

A solar-powered marine litter cleaning drone that cleans up floating rubbish in canals, ports and estuaries has been launched by Navtek Naval Technologies in Istanbul.

The company’s new Lautrus drone, which can be operated semi or fully autonomous, can also be used to clean up oil spillage and other organic waste with a different collection module.

It also has a self-emptying system, which deposits collected litter into a waste receptacle.

Lautrus is fully autonomous but can also be controlled by a mobile app or remote-control station.

It can be customised and equipped with different kinds of sensors for water quality monitoring and control, and because it is silent it will not disturb marine life, the company says.

“Rivers constitute critical pathways of transport of litter from land into the sea,” says a 2022 report by the European Environment Agency. “Over 600 million floating items, corresponding to almost 3,400 tonnes of litter, are discharged by European rivers into the sea annually. The Mediterranean Sea receives the largest fraction of discharged litter.”

“In the EU-27, per capita generation of plastic packaging waste is increasing, even at a faster pace than the Gross Domestic Product,” it says.

“Such an increasing trend is not in line with the policy goal of preventing waste.”

According to the WWF, it can take 450 years for a single plastic bottle to break down in water.

CHRONIC LACK OF SEAFARERS COULD SPELL DISASTER

Failure to look at the whole picture of seafarer shortages could have disastrous consequences in both the short and long term, maritime industry insiders are saying

In a report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) commissioned by Maritime UK, the umbrella body for the maritime sector that brings together shipping, engineering, leisure and ports, the CEBR found that the maritime industry supported 1.064 million jobs in 2019.

With 30.3 million people employed in the UK, it means that maritime employs 3.5% of the workforce and makes a greater contribution to the UK economy than rail and air combined.

Worryingly for many in the industry, that proportion could soon be well below that, with many insiders saying they can’t fill staff vacancies and shipyards struggling to find the skills they need to keep afloat.

“I’m nervous about it,” says Chartwell Marine managing director and naval architect Andy Page. “I’ve been in the industry for 12 years myself, and when I reflect on my first years in commercial boatbuilding and compare it with how it is today, there’s less resource available today, certainly.

“Before, when we had times of heavy demand we would work with Eastern European colleagues to fill the gap but now it’s more difficult to work with labour supplies from there. Another problem is Covid – individuals who may have done another 10 years before it came along retired instead, and we lost some of the higher end of the skill base, the buffer. This is a vast amount of knowledge that’s been stripped from the industry.”

“It used to be that a good percentage of the fabrication skills came from Europe – Polish and Lithuanian welders, for example,” says Ian Baylis, managing director of Seacat

Services, which offers apprenticeships every year. “The yards are struggling for skills. A lot of my peer group were pushed into going to university, so they didn’t learn to lay a brick or even wire a plug. And now the skilled workers we did have are going back to countries where their economies are growing.

“We know of shipyards who are saying they’ve got enough to do repair and small build, but not enough to be building CTVs.”

Investing in people is the only way, Baylis says, of getting through this – which is why Seacat Services is doubling the number of apprenticeships it offers, by giving two waves a year rather than one.

“Skills is our biggest challenge,” he says. “Although there are training schools, it’s very hard to simulate other new boatbuilding to the scale you need for CTVs,” says Page. “I’m nervous about skills more than ever before.”

Government policy

The government is, according to Kit Williams, maritime sustainability skills manager with Maritime UK, listening and on board with policy to try to replenish the sector, and it does have in place a ‘Maritime 2050 Strategy’.

“Ignoring the skills shortage in the maritime sector could be severely detrimental to both the sector and the UK,” says Williams, who is working under the ‘Skills for Green Jobs’ workstream, part funded by the Department for Transport, to chart skills and staff shortages, particularly in areas considered ‘green’, such as offshore wind.

8 New cadets at Warsash Maritime School, Solent University

“Don’t forget, the skills shortage includes not only those skills required by the workforce of tomorrow, but also those of the sector’s existing workforce who require upskilling or reskilling,” he says. “Failure to look at the whole picture can have disastrous consequences in both the short term and the long term.”

Williams says that across all the sectors he is involved with – shipping, ports, shipbuilding, offshore renewables, research and development – it is skills shortage that is on the top of everyone’s list of priorities.

He says Maritime UK has set out policy objectives that have been developed by its member associations for the prime minister and ministers in a ‘Programme for Government’ that was released in October 2022.

“Through engaging with the workstreams led by Maritime UK and the Maritime Skills Commission, industry has a platform from which they can raise awareness of the sector’s specific needs and make a collaborative move towards solutions and a more sustainable future,” Williams says. “This highlights that there are some people and skills actions that only the government can take to help ensure a resilient talent pool.”

Warsash Maritime School

One school in the south of England has recognised the need to put money into maritime if it is to have a future.

Lars Lippuner is associate professor and director of Warsash Maritime School, part of Solent University, in Southampton.

A former seafarer himself, Lippuner is originally from a superyacht background and joined the Warsash school in 2012.

He says investment in new facilities to the tune of some £30 million has been paying off – the school has branched out into different sections, he says, and other long-term initiatives are bearing fruit.The school offers more than 150 accredited deck, engineering, interior, maritime and offshore safety training courses that are approved by various awarding bodies such as the MCA.

He says shipping has in the last couple of years been very strong because of the post-Covid bounce back, and with the growing renewables sector he believes more people active in the workboat sector will look into that potential as well.

“There seems to be a lot of growth expected in the sector as well, with lots of new boats on order and shipping containers,” he says. “But what has certainly become more and more of a challenge is getting 16-18 year olds joining the maritime sector. We’ve gone through a situation where every year, more and more sponsored places are being left unfilled.

“Yet what’s on offer is really good – candidates can get full sponsorship, small bursaries while they are studying that are better than in many other disciplines, and fantastic career prospects. Shipping companies who sponsor these places are struggling to get anyone to sponsor.

“We can offer 800-900 people long academic courses, and as well as training for those going to sea there is naval architecture training.”

Yes, Brexit has had a bit of an impact, Lippuner says, because students from EU countries now have to pay the full international fees along with young people from other countries, such as Canada and Australia, who make up about half of the student population, with UK nationals making up the other half. But in EU countries it’s a similar story, with young people simply not being attracted to the sector as they used to be.

Getting them in young

“We’ve got such a strong starting position on the UK, we are recognised in the global arena yet there seems to be a

disconnect,” says Lippuner. “The effort that’s being made in schools needs to be pushed. We need to get them in really young so that we can create a successive pipeline of talent for the sector, which is just not happening at the moment.

Lippuner has actually made a postcode map of applicants to Warsash, and notes that their home addresses follow the UK shoreline, as if only those on the coast will consider taking to the sea as a career.

“It’s strange because 95% of everything we use comes by sea. Offshore wind is massive, floating wind is going to be massive. Yet there’s this void of students in the middle of the country where the population centres are.”

Lippuner says there are various reasons why the young are not opting for maritime – fear of isolation, misconceptions about it being outdated, ignorance of the modern technology that’s now on every ship, and how exciting and modern a sector it is.

“It’s perceived to lack social connection, internet connection even,” he says. “Yet there are so many opportunities, onshore as well – lots of our students go to sea for eight to ten years and then they might decide to come onshore for family reasons.”

An imminent threat is the looming retirement age of many of those still in the sector, and that there are nowhere near enough recruits to replace that population.

“The government says all the right things,” says Lippuner. “We’re involved with them, and there is a general drive to change things from a policy perspective – but it’s making sure it all marries up.

“There are a few initiatives, like the CMDC (Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition), which is now in its fourth year. But I’m afraid despite the unbelievable opportunities with full sponsorships, bursaries and starting salaries for o 50% higher than for other graduates, globally it’s the same – there is a chronic shortage of seafarers.”

AUTONOMOUS SHIP ERRORS: WHO’S TO BLAME?

Autonomous shipping and AI might create difficulties in establishing liability under the Hague Rules for maritime casualties, warns the chair of the Association of Average Adjusters

In his annual address to the association, Sir Nigel Teare chose the topic of ’Seaworthiness, Negligent Navigation and Safer Ships’, raising the issue of where responsibility lies in the operation of maritime autonomous surface ships.

Whilst not yet common, the IMO is exploring how regulation such as Solas and the Collision Regulations applies to autonomous ships, with a mandatory code slated to be in place by 2028.

Using the example of a defective passage plan rendering a vessel unseaworthy, Sir Nigel pointed out that automation was no exemption to requiring a passage plan but the question might arise as to who is responsible when that plan has been created by a computer.

‘Not under my control’

He noted that retired judge Sir Richard Aikens had suggested that, in the event a passage plan is defective, an owner might argue he was not responsible as the defect happened when the ship was not under his control.

“Where the master on board or operator ashore acts negligently when commanding the vessel that would amount to negligent navigation,” said Sir Nigel.

“But what if the error is committed by a computer? If the error is the result of error by the artificial intelligence of the computer, then that might well be regarded as negligent navigation by the computer just as if it had been an error by the officer of the watch,” he added.

Norwegian finance for UK windfarm cable contract

The latest project to be financed by Export Finance Norway (Eksfin) is a new UK windfarm cable contract worth NOK2 billion (€171 million) for the Moray West windfarm in Scotland.

The firms’s global portfolio of loans and guarantees covering Norwegian exports to offshore wind projects have swelled to NOK15 billion (€1.2 billion) since 2019.

“Financing Norwegian deliveries to international offshore wind projects is a key strategic priority for us,” said Tone Lunde Bakker, managing director, Eksfin.

”I am happy that, together with Nexans, we have succeeded in securing yet another big export contract for Norwegian wind industry in this important market.”

The Moray West windfarm off the east coast of Scotland is owned by Ocean Winds, the joint venture between ENGIE (France) and EDP Renewables (from EDP group, Portugal).

When completed, it will feature 60

turbines and installed capacity of 882 MW by 2025 – equating the energy demand of 1.33 million UK homes and emissions reduction of 1.1 million tonnes of CO2.

Ocean Winds holds a portfolio of 16.6 GW of gross capacity of offshore wind energy from 15 projects in operation and construction.

It has also secured development in seven countries, making it one the largest developers of offshore wind globally, so a very important customer for Norwegian exporters in the renewables sector.

The Moray West contract markedly strengthens Nexans Norway’s position in this market. It will manufacture the cables at its factory in Halden and install them using its own dedicated cable layer vessels.

Eksfin financing is premised on developers choosing deliveries from Norwegian suppliers.

Offshore wind projects typically demand more capital than developers and their banks can finance on their own.

Eksfin said that its state-backed guarantees carry the highest AAA credit rating and make it easier for private banks to provide financing.

In this latest project, Eksfin is working with a large loan syndicate where Crédit Agricole CIB acts as financial advisor and arranger of the loan facilities to Moray West.

Sir Nigel believes that in future software engineers may be called upon to give expert evidence as to whether such an error could reasonably be detected by the

AIDS TO NAVIGATION: HYDROSPHERE ON PORT LIGHTS

Since 1994, Hydrosphere has been providing reliable, high-quality and cost-effective AtoN solutions to the marine industry and beyond. Managing director John Caskey shares some pointers

Choosing modern navigation lights for safer ports and harbours. Facilitating safe and accurate navigation in port and nearshore locations is a top priority for harbour masters — but it is by no means an easy task.

Channels can be notoriously tricky to navigate, and sea and weather conditions are often unfavourable, creating potentially complicated and hazardous environments for vessels navigating close to shore.

To protect seafarers from dangerous circumstances and ensure the efficient day-to-day operation of ports and harbours, a combination of highly reliable navigational aids must be deployed in and around these locations.

Navigation lights are some of the most effective navaids for these applications. But when it comes to ensuring the most suitable and effective strategic navigation lighting for a port or harbour project, which type do you choose?

As seafarers rely on visual cues from navaids to stay on course, installing appropriate navigation lights is the key to a comprehensive solution and are a crucial addition to any nearshore site operating at all hours, with a wide selection of models providing varying safety benefits.

For example, leading lights are conventional navaids that show vessels they are correctly positioned when pairs of beacons — one in front and one behind — are aligned.

However, although these lighting systems have proven reliable in many applications, they might be unsuitable for the changing needs of ports and harbours. As sites become more built up and urban infrastructures expand on the shore, these lights could get lost, or obscured — especially if they are older and not as bright as modern LEDs.

In this case, sector lights might be a better choice. These lights display light arcs of different colours to show vessels whether they are in the safe zone, shifting from red to white to green depending on the angle of approach. Sector lights can help keep seafarers on the right path, as their distinctive colour characteristics are sometimes easier to identify than traditional leading lights.

Many sector lights, such as Sabik Marine’s VLS-46 sector lights, boast configurable working modes, allowing users to adjust luminosity to suit day and night-time conditions for consistent visibility — even in stormy or foggy weather.

Synchronised lights are also available to improve visibility further and allow harbour managers to mark clear-cut safety zones. Using GPS time signals, these intelligent models can link together multiple lights to ensure they flash in perfect unison, clearly marking port entrances.

Installing synchronised lights can help retain perspective at night and make it easier for mariners to distinguish them against a background of other lights and activity.

Approaching intuitive harbour lighting design

Marine navigation should not be an intelligence test: sailors should be able to look out of the window and immediately understand where they are to make quick decisions based on their surroundings.

Hydrosphere seeks to take the ambiguity out of navigation and provide bespoke navigation lighting solutions for safer harbours.

Over time, ports and harbours — and the people and vessels that use them — change. Ships get bigger, water depths change and experienced sailors and harbour managers retire or move on. So it is crucial that lights and other navaids remain fit for purpose, regardless of how conditions develop around them — and that they are upgraded with intuitive solutions if not.

It is vital to understand the practical and regulatory requirements of aids to navigation for ports and harbours. Hydrosphere’s team has a wealth of experience in the marine sector and can develop well-thought-out, efficient navaid systems that suit the current needs of an application whilst also looking to the future.

By being reactive and helping ports install premiumquality, strategic solutions, we can ensure consistent risk mitigation even in high-traffic ports and facilitate easy navigation in and out of tight channels — no matter what challenges arise.

DANGER OF MOORING LINE SNAPBACK

Mooring line failure, also known as mooring snapback, is a leading cause of injuries of marine workers. One in seven reported incidents result in fatality, and one in five in serious harm. When a mooring line ruptures, the parted line can reach speeds of 1200 km/h. Protecting effectively against such incidents can be difficult. It often requires extended downtime for berth maintenance and restricted access during mooring operations.

Full-scale test setup and validation of Geobrugg’s Snapback Protection Systems

The first-of-its-kind full-scale testing undertaken by Holmes Solutions has provided a unique insight into the behaviour of ruptured lines. It has shown that the speeds reached by the parted lines were far higher than earlier assumptions, and that rope behaviour is far less predictable.

Geobrugg’s Snapback Protection Systems transform maritime life safety and prevent injury during a snapback event. In collaboration with Holmes Solutions, specialists in testing and validation, Geobrugg is developing a suite of validated snapback protection solutions that can drastically improve mooring efficiency and safety, while reducing maintenance downtime and revenue loss.

Using an evidence-based design approach, Holmes Solutions and Geobrugg designed, tested and validated the tailored protection solution now in place at Hay Point, enabling operations to continue safely and efficiently.

BHP Mitsubishi Alliance’s busy Hay Point Coal Terminal had already adopted many snapback control measures such as hook tension monitoring, mooring analysis software and line management protocols. Despite this, in 2020 a high-speed mooring line failure was captured on camera, crossing a usually busy work zone. This close call resulted in restricted access while ships were berthed, impacting operational efficiency. BHP contracted Holmes Solutions and Geobrugg to develop, test and validate a snapback protection solution for their port.

“From the commencement of the project, our goal has been to make our local work areas a safer

tailored protection solution at Hay Point

Maintenance work downtime is another significant operational risk for ports and terminal operators, costing millions of dollars in lost revenue. Geobrugg’s Snapback Protection Systems are designed to be easy to install and relocate, significantly reducing maintenance downtime. Ports are busy places with space at a premium. Vessels are under pressure to turn around within tight timeframes. Mooring operations can result in restricted berth access. A validated Snapback Protection System enables operations to continue safely without restricting the movement of others accessing the berth.

Geobrugg’s validated Snapback Protection Systems are designed to be flexible and modular and to minimise disruption to normal operations. Designs are customised to your requirements. More information: www.geobrugg.com/snapback

‘Safety is our nature’ - true to this guiding principle, Geobrugg has been developing and manufacturing protection solutions since 1951. High-tensile steel wire nets and matching services monitor and protect against natural hazards and ensure safety in mining as well as on motorsports tracks, in industry and now in the maritime environment. www.geobrugg.com

Founded in 2003, Holmes Solutions is a leader in impact testing, validation, and innovative engineering. Holmes’ development of a world-first full-scale snapback testing platform has provided critical insight into snapback behaviour.

SAILDRONE EXPANDS FLEET WITH MID-SIZED USV

Saildrone has expanded its fleet with a mid-sized vessel that will assist in law enforcement as well as carry out ocean mapping

Saildrone, a US specialist in delivering near real-time maritime intelligence through small uncrewed systems, has announced the expansion of its fleet with a new midsize class of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs).

The latest addition, the 33-foot (10m) Voyager, has been specifically designed to excel in near-shore ocean and lakebed mapping, as well as addressing crucial challenges such as illegal fishing, maritime safety, intelligence gathering, law enforcement, drug interdiction, and border and port security.

Voyager joins Saildrone’s existing lineup of USVs, which includes the 23-foot (7m) Explorer and the 65-foot (20m) Surveyor. Each model has been carefully crafted to strike a balance between mission payload flexibility and endurance. With its larger size, Voyager boasts advantages such as an extended datalink, increased power for ocean mapping and intelligence payloads, and enhanced versatility for integrating various types of equipment.

Equipped with advanced ocean mapping sensors, Voyager incorporates multibeam sonar equipment capable of mapping depths up to 900 feet (300m). Additionally, its intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor suite includes a smart camera array, digital radar and subsurface passive acoustics. Powered primarily by wind and solar energy, Voyager also features an electric propulsion alternative, ideal for low-wind and near-shore operations.

Richard Jenkins, founder and CEO of Saildrone, highlighted the impact of the Voyager platform on maritime capabilities.

“With our Voyager platform, Saildrone helps to eliminate maritime gaps above and below the ocean surface, reducing risk to mission and risk to force,” he said. “We want to be a force-multiplier for our partners and allies when it comes to ISR capabilities.”

To keep up with increasing demand for the Voyager platform, Saildrone has opted to outsource the production of certain components. The wing and keel will be manufactured by Janicki Industries in Washington, while the hull will be produced by Seemann Composites in Mississippi. Saildrone will continue to handle the production, installation, and servicing of internal components at its headquarters in Alameda, CA.

Having conducted sea trials in the San Francisco Bay and off the coast of California since late 2022, Voyager is now ready for operational missions. These missions will encompass both maritime security and ocean mapping tasks.

Saildrone currently produces new Voyagers at a rate of one per week.

New integrated technology will bring unprecedented visibility for offshore construction, renewable, defence and other applications, provider Coda Octopus says.

Coda Octopus is providing above, through and below the waterline capability by combining its real-time 3D Echoscope imaging sonar with its new Echoscope Air LiDAR Volumetric 3D Cameras.

The company says the true power of the new Air LiDAR is realised when coupled with any of its Echoscope volumetric sonars ‘to provide seamless real-time monitoring, mapping, and inspection, above, through and below the waterline’.

The Air LiDAR can be used independently as an above-water real-time 3D camera that is fully integrated into the Coda Octopus 4G USE software, and shares the same processing, real-time imaging and decision-making methodologies that are now well known across the industry.

The company claims that with the introduction and integration of the Air LiDAR, the new fusion will bring unprecedented visible capability to many construction, offshore-renewable, defence and specialist service provider applications and projects.

In addition to the real-time 3D imagery,

ALL-IN-ONE PACKAGE FOR AIR, SURFACE AND SUBSEA SURVEYS

angular and linear measurements can be made between any data points in the scene, from the Echoscope sonar, Air LiDAR or any industry standard 2D Chart and 3D Models inserted in the scene in real time. This level of real-time integration allows clear understanding, position and pose of assets being placed or surveyed.

Air LiDAR can for example provide cable catenary launch angle from the lay vessel above the water whilst the Echoscope sonar provides mid-water and seafloor touch-down point monitoring. Similarly, vertical placement of pilings and sheet pile can be monitored with a fused above and below dataset for

8 Coda Octopus visuals of the new integration straightness and tolerance during placement operations and before final commitment. These technologies and methodology are different from the traditional place, survey and rework approach often relied upon.

The company’s existing market penetration in the breakwater construction sector has been augmented by the introduction of the Air LiDAR as providing block placement and tracking above and below the water line on the berm, in addition to critical slope grading survey, which can now be conducted by the excavator or wire crane without the need for additional survey vessel and personnel.
