The growth of HS.MARINE continues in 2024. The italian manufacturer of marine cranes was rewarded by the market for the reliability of its production and the low cost of ownership. “In 2023 – explains Stefano Forni, co-founder of the company and managing director -, we had a growth of 60%, the same increasing percentage that we also estimate for the current year”. A goal that rewards the efforts that HS.MARINE has put in place over time.

“It was thanks to the preparation of the structures (that we started years ago), and to the intensive training (that we have been implementing for the last four years), that we have been able to achieve this result. But without highly specialized workers attentive to every detail in both production and processing –

continues Forni -, it would not have been possible to record a growth like the one we are experiencing”.

Among the interventions implemented, a special mention goes to the expansion of the spare parts stock which has almost doubled to reduce waiting times linked to deliveries from suppliers and further speed up the service. Careful strategic planning is also very important for HS.MARINE, which has allowed the Viadana company to meet the new challenges of the market and increase its customer base.

“We always try to anticpate the market and its requests – underlines Forni - . One of our stronghness is to be very flexyble and we know that quality always pays back. Of course flexibility and quality are tre result of the knowledge and the quality of HS.MARINE people”.

SEAWORK FUTURES

We are enormously honoured to announce that HRH The Princess Royal will be opening the 25th edition of Seawork this year.

Time has certainly flown by. It certainly does not seem like 27 years since the first staging of Seawork in 1998, which was held in and around the QEII Cruise Terminal in the eastern docks in the Port of Southampton (see below). Now, this year, we are delighted to be able to celebrate the event’s 25th edition, having weathered the two missing “COVID” years and seen Seawork bounce back to full health.

For me it is immensely satisfying to see not only the exhibition, but my team grow and develop over the years.

In the early days there was not much opportunity for the European commercial marine market to meet up under one roof and do business. There was no real recognition of the scale of commercial marine business and the vital role it plays in facilitating trade, the maintenance of our coastlines, ports and harbours, security, and safety on the water. We knew from speaking with different companies that everyone was experiencing the same frustrations and this created the opportunity for Seawork.

Working on and around the water is a real vocation. Each and every year Seawork brings along familiar faces amongst exhibitors and visitors, who may change jobs, but never move too far away from the sea.

After the first two editions, the year 2000 saw Seawork move to the Fruit Terminal at 103/4 berths in the Western Docks. This brought more covered space to expand the Halls, a better quayside, and improved arrangements for the pontoons.

By 2016, the Port’s commercial requirements meant that the area was no longer available to us. It had also become a constraint to Seawork’s development. The move to Mayflower Park provided the ground space to

create more covered hall space for exhibitors, as well as a larger area on the quayside and room for additional pontoons for vessels and floating plant. Mayflower Park is a more central location and enjoys easy access with great transport links, ample parking, good accommodation as well as superb eateries on Oxford Street and beyond.

We all still remember the difficulties of the COVID years which halted Seawork 2020 and 2021. It was a very tough time for Mercator Media and the exhibition business. I remain grateful to so many of our clients and suppliers for their forbearance and for standing by us.

Some 1100 days passed before we were able to produce Seawork 2022. It became the first post-Brexit, post-pandemic commercial marine business networking opportunity. It was supported by the key associations and organisations, and focused on how our multi-faceted industry was adapting and innovating in the face of the economic, environmental, and political upheaval.

Seawork 2024 is the 25th edition and a milestone. Going forward, we want to keep Seawork relevant, influential and the preferred meeting place for business. Attracting talent to the industry will also be a vital part of achieving this, as are new ideas and applied innovation. I am proud of the ways in which Seawork continues to evolve and develop.

I would like to thank all the exhibitors, visitors, suppliers, and supporters that have contributed to Seawork to make it the success it is today. I know the commercial marine sector will continue to play its vital part in future economic success and trust that Seawork can serve as a meeting place for another 25 editions.

Cadeler orders installation vessel

Cadeler has ordered its third A-class wind farm installation vessel, Wind Apex, to bring its fleet up to 11 vessels. The A-class has a deck space of 5,600m2 and a payload of 17,000 tons. It can transport and install seven complete 15MW turbine sets per load or six sets of 2XL monopile foundations.

“The decision to build the vessel is based on the strong market demand for assets specialising in installing foundations,” said Cadeler CEO Mikkel Gleerup.

Spain-Morocco

tunnel rumours revived

The Spanish government has commissioned engineering company Ineco to update a feasibility study for a subsea tunnel between Spain and Morocco, reports have claimed. According to Moroccan media outlet SNRT News, discussions are under way about building the tunnel in time for the 2030 football World Cup, which is being hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Reports said the tunnel would carry a highspeed railway and cut time between Casablanca and Madrid to around five hours.

8th hybrid SOV for North Star

Siemens Gamesa has contracted North Star to build a hybrid SOV for long-term charter at the East Anglia Three offshore wind farm off the east coast of England. North Star has already delivered three out of four SOVs for the Dogger Bank wind farm and plans to add 40 in total to its fleet by 2040. The firm only ventured into the SOV market two and a half years ago.

FIRST HYBRID LNG TUGBOAT

BEGINS OPERATION

The world’s first hybrid LNG tugboat has begun regular operations at the Port of Singapore.

Designed, built and operated by engineering solutions provider, Seatrium, the 29m JMS Sunshine has a 65-tonne bollard pull. The hybrid tug is powered by two Rolls-Royce 16-cylinder mtu Series 4000M55RN gas engines.

“We are proud that we were able to contribute to Seatrium’s innovative project with our gas engines,” said Chew Xiang Yu, head of Rolls-Royce Power Systems’ civil marine business in Asia.

“The workboat market is one of our strategic business areas. The mtu engines were selected because they meet the demanding requirements of harbour tug operations in terms of reliability, ease of operation, dynamic engine behaviour and low emissions.”

The hybrid system is said to be particularly suitable for the load profile of the harbour tug as it enables very precise manoeuvring and a strong bollard pull at full power.

The total power of the two azimuth stern thrusters is 4000 kilowatts, achieved by adding to the 1492 kilowatts each supplied by the mtu gas engines and 500 kilowatts of electric motor power on each shaft.

“The handling of mtu engines is straight-forward, and userfriendly,” said Chiam Toon Chong, technical superintendent, Seatrium Marine Services. “Additionally, spare part availability and service support is excellent for the operation of tugs.”

The tug is also equipped with a battery capacity of 904 kilowatt hours to supply onboard powers, for use during fully electric operation in port, and to augment the engines at peak loads Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division has equipped 11 ships worldwide with mtu gas engines as propulsion systems and onboard gensets. These include ferries, tugs and government vessels.

HYBRID-ELECTRIC TUGS FOR PANAMA CANAL

Up to 20 hybrid-electric tugs have been ordered for the Panama Canal, with Norwegian battery developer Corvus Energy contracted to supply the batteries.

Spanish shipbuilder Astilleros Armón will build the vessels with options for another 10 similar, Corvus Energy said.

The order for the first 10 was valued at $150 million in total, each of which is to be 30 metres in length with 70 tonnes bollard pull.

Each Corvus Orca battery system will provide 450kWh of power.

In 2014, the canal received the last of 14 tractor tugs, which were also built by Astilleros Armón. It brought the number of tugs in the fleet to 46.

At the time of writing, neither the canal authority nor Covus Energy said whether the new tugs would replace the existing

fl

eet or add to it. Corvus Energy CEO called the deal a landmark project for the canal authority.

“The Panama Canal is a world-renowned, high-traffic waterway and battery systems in hybrid-electric tugs have been proven to decrease vessel emissions,” he said.

“The new fleet represents an important step in supporting the Panama Canal Authority’s

8 Container ship and tugs near the Panama Canal

sustainability strategy and ambition to reach net zero GHG emissions by or around 2050.”

Corvus Energy says it has supplied many of the world fleet of hybrid-electric or fully electric tugs with its battery technology, including the HaiSea Marine fleet of five recently delivered to Canada.

Swedish ice breakers kept busy

Ice breakers were called to assist more than 1,450 incidents in frozen waters around Sweden last winter, more than twice the number in 2022/23, according to the Swedish Maritime Administration. All five state ice breakers have been worked at full capacity since December, the Administration says, and the season is still not over. Operating budgets have been exceeded and higher repair costs incurred for the ageing vessels, which work all over the Gulf of Bothnia.

Van Oord wins wind contract

Spanish energy firm Iberdrola has contracted Van Oord to build yet another offshore wind farm – the German Windanker farm in the Baltic Sea. Twenty-one XL monopiles and transition pieces will be transported and installed as well as an inter-array cable grid. The wind farm will have a capacity of 300MW, Van Oord says. Heavy-lift installation vessel Svanen will be deployed following an upgrade, Van Oord says.

Subsea construction vessel upgrade

Solstad’s 143m Normand Sentinel will have its mechanical thrusters replaced by Kongsberg Maritime’s RD-AZ2600 rim-drive thrusters in an upgrade to reduce fuel consumption. Kongsberg SVP Aftermarket Sales James Poulton said the thrusters offered energy savings of 16% during transit operations and 40% in Dynamic Positioning mode. All of Solstad's 40-strong fleet use Kongsberg Maritime equipment.

US UNVEILS FIRST HOME-BUILT

OFFSHORE WIND SOV

America’s offshore wind energy supply chain is marking a major milestone with the christening of the first ever American-built, owned and crewed offshore wind service operations vessel (SOV).

The ECO EDISON vessel, built by Shipbuilder Edison Chouest and operated by Ørsted, will play a key role in enabling domestic energy production and strengthening America’s energy independence.

“The Gulf Coast region is playing a huge role in the growing US offshore wind supply chain, using their decades of experience to deliver more homegrown American energy and serving as one example of Ørsted’s more than US$20 billion of investments into the United States,” said David Hardy, Group EVP and CEO Americas at Ørsted.

“Our team can’t wait to put her in service, with state-of-the-art safety technologies and features to ensure comfort at sea.”

Market milestone

All eyes will be on the new vessel, especially since various media reports including Bloomberg

warn that if Donald Trump wins the election in November he will issue an executive order stopping offshore wind development in the country.

Nonetheless, there is plenty of positivity surrounding the newbuild.

ECO EDISON, officially christened at the Port of New Orleans by Jennifer Scalise, will play an integral part of the operation and maintenance of Ørsted and Eversource’s South Fork Wind, Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind projects.

The company is committed to building a new domestic offshore energy supply chain.

8 The ECO EDISON built by shipbuilder Edison Chouest and operated by Ørsted will play a key role in enabling domestic energy production and strengthening America’s energy independence

ECO EDISON was built by more than 600 workers – across nearly 1 million work hours – at ECO in-house shipyards in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, with components of the vessel sourced from 34 states, from Alabama to West Virginia. The 262-foot vessel will serve as a floating, year-round homebase for 60 of the first American offshore wind turbine technicians, who will work at-sea over the life of the windfarms,

UK REFUSES TO REVEAL OFFSHORE WIND BIDS MADE IN LATEST ROUND

The UK government has refused to say how many bids were received in this year’s allocation round for offshore wind developments, citing ‘commercial sensitivity’.

The Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction round for the renewable energy auction was announced on March 7, 2024 and closed on April 19.

It was hailed as the largest ever budget for CfDs, with £1 billion (€1.1 billion) allocated overall and £800 million (€930 million) for offshore wind.

Despite the Round 6 Allocation closing on April 19, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero says it cannot reveal even the number of applications received in the round.

The sensitivity may be a result of last year’s round, in which not a single bid was made.

Refusing to explain why the information requested was ‘commercially sensitive’, a spokesman for the department said the round had allocated more than four times more to offshore wind than ever before.

“National Grid ESO is currently assessing application,” he said. “Once any appeals have been dealt with, the Secretary of State can consider whether

to increase the budget.

“We look forward to seeing a competitive auction in the summer that will bring forward new, clean energy and deliver value for money for households.

“We do not speculate on the outcome of an auction, which is a competitive process and its outcome dependent on a range of factors including bid prices, and the volume of eligible applications.”

EUROPE’S FIRST ELECTRO-H2 CAT ON TRACK FOR 2025 LAUNCH

The French company behind Europe’s first electro-hydrogen catamaran says it has generated ‘significant interest’ since it was unveiled at the Monaco Sustainable & Smart Marina Rendezvous in 2023.

The catamaran is being built at Green Navy’s Merré shipyard in Nort-sur-Erdre, with its twin hulls assembled at Chaudronnerie Industrielle De Bretagne in Brest.

Prometeo features carbon-free, silent, and odour-free operation, says Green Navy, and its electro-hydrogen propulsion system is cleaner and quieter than traditional fossil fuels, aligning with global goals for sustainable transport.

“The launch is scheduled for Spring 2025, and discussions with potential operators are ongoing,” it says.

CEO Charles Cardi says the company plans to provide a turnkey solution for owners and operators without the risks associated with partner selection, design security, and administrative steps.

“Green Navy is tailoring energy solutions to balance battery capacity and hydrogen storage, optimizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” Cardi says.

As the maritime industry increasingly seeks new propulsion options, Green Navy says it has demonstrated at a few conferences how hydrogen storage can be achieved and fuel cells used

“These technologies offer

8 Future catamaran: electrohydrogen propulsion, due to be launched in 2025

robust safety features, and Green Navy collaborates closely with French maritime authorities and certification bodies like Bureau Veritas,” says Cardi.

Several French regions, including Bretagne and Région Sud, are investing in hydrogen technology as part of their decarbonization efforts.

MST CONTRACTED TO PRODUCE GERMAN NAVY BOATS

Seawork exhibitor Marine Specialised Technology (MST) has been contracted to produce eight operational fast raiding boats for the German Navy, writes Jake Frith.

As part of the F126 frigate class construction project for the German Navy, led by Dutch shipyard Damen Naval (DN), a series of eight operational fast raiding boats are to be delivered.

UK-based MST has been specifically hired to produce the MST FRISC-1200-SF model, the first of which is scheduled for delivery in early 2025.

During the ongoing detailed design phase, a mock-up test was conducted to minimise risks and optimise the design. This took place from 22 to 26 May 2023 at the Eckernförde naval base, involving extensive participation from various stakeholders, including:

5 Naval Special Forces Command (KSM)

5 Sea Battalion

5 Operational Test Centre

5 Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Schiffe und Marinewaffen, Maritime Technologie und Forschung (WTD 71)

5 Approval Office of the Maritime Department of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw)

5 Boat manufacturer MST

5 External construction supervision company MSG systems AG

5 Contractor Damen Naval (DN)

5 Client BAAINBw, Sea Department, Group 8 (BAAINBw S8).

The mock-up, a detailed draft of the operational boat, was used to visualise the design and assess all crucial functions. This early-phase testing allowed for identifying and incorporating improvements to tailor the boat for its intended use by different naval forces.

Mock-up goals

The primary goal of the mock-up tests was to find and address potential improvements during the detailed construction phase, ensuring they are incorporated into the final design. Key areas of focus included:

5 Adding holders for equipment and gear

5 Placement of ammunition boxes

5 Optimal positioning of heavy on-board weapons

5 Ergonomic improvements for the human-machine interface (HMI), especially the driver’s platform.

Identified modifications can be implemented more efficiently and cost effectively before the boats’ production begins, avoiding the higher costs and delays associated with post-production changes.

The inclusive approach of involving all relevant agencies – from contractors to future users and approval bodies –during the mock-up phase has set a new standard for risk minimisation and detailed planning optimisation for operational boats.

Feedback from all departments and the contractor indicated that the trials were highly beneficial.

The knowledge and insights gained during this trial have solidified a realistic and tangible understanding of the operational boat’s design for all project participants. This collective effort has paved the way for the successful

completion of another critical milestone in the F126 project, ensuring the timely implementation of the validated and adjusted detailed plans.

The scope of the supply contract includes the delivery of twelve special forces FRISC RHIB’s with transportation trailers and a comprehensive Integrated Logistics Support package.

The FRISC craft are the latest generation of MST’s well proven Fast Raiding, Intervention and Special Forces Craft Series, and will provide the German navy with an enhanced combat platform, using state-of-the-art navigation and C2 command systems, to meet current and future military requirements.

During

the ongoing detailed design phase, a mock-up test was conducted to minimise risks and optimise the design. This took place from 22 to 26 May 2023 at the Eckernförde naval base, involving extensive participation from various stakeholders

Ben Kerfoot, managing director for Marine Specialised Technology Group, said: “MST is extremely pleased to be working with Damen again on this prestigious project, this time with Damen Naval on complex frigates, providing a highly effective platform against maritime threats.”

The F126 frigates are being built by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Naval, on German shipyards in Wolgast, Kiel and Hamburg. Major partners include Thales Netherlands, and Blohm + Voss.

The first ship will be handed over in Hamburg in 2028 and the contract includes an option for two further frigates. 8 Seawork stand: Q14

8 Germany’s F-126

One marine seating company has been a stalwart exhibitor at Seawork since almost the birth of shock mitigation in high-speed craft.

Founded in 1965, Shockwave is a Canadian company with a global footprint, specialising in the design and manufacture of marine suspension seats for both professional and recreational markets.

Shockwave’s journey began in 2001 with the US Coast Guard as its inaugural customer. Initially focusing on designing and building marine suspension seats for military applications worldwide, the company gradually expanded its offerings to include commercial markets.

In 2016, Shockwave introduced the S5 suspension base, its first suspension solution for recreational boaters. Building on this success, the company launched the improved S5 Sentinel suspension base in 2021.

S3 Helm and Jockey Seats

Shockwave’s S3 seats, featuring 8-inch shocks, are a popular choice for military missions, law enforcement and border patrol operations. These helm seats are also favoured in high-end cabin or open boats for recreational and tender use. Jockey seats are typically mounted on deck track systems,

SHOCK MITIGATION SOLUTIONS FOR HIGH-SPEED CRAFT

ideal for government vessels with limited deck space. A key feature of the S3 seats is their ability to fold down, conserving space and allowing occupants to stand when necessary.

S2 Helm and Jockey Seats

The S2 seats, equipped with 6-inch shocks, are a popular choice for law enforcement, government agencies and search and rescue (SAR) applications. Helm seats in this series are often selected for high-end recreational cabin boats. Jockey seats, commonly mounted on risers in open boats, are compact and perfect for vessels with space constraints.

ICE Console

The ICE console, boasting 12-inch shocks, is designed for military missions, law enforcement and SAR operations that demand maximum occupant safety at high speeds in extreme sea conditions. The console integrates occupants, controls and electronics into a single, shock-absorbing unit, protecting both personnel and equipment from wave impacts from all directions.

Speciality products

The company also offers a range of speciality seats, featuring shocks ranging from six to 12 inches, catering for various military applications. These seats can be customised for specific missions, designed to transport many troops in compact spaces.

Control pods are specifically crafted for government and special forces vessels, ensuring the protection of both electronics and occupants, even when space is limited. 8 Seawork stand: H27

SEAWORK PLATFORM FOR SMALL DIESEL OUTBOARD

Seawork provides maritime businesses with the perfect platform to showcase new and exciting products – which is why it’s one of the most popular commercial marine events.

One example is MD Powertrain’s naturally aspirated 14HP single-cylinder diesel outboard engine, the D14, which will be on show as a perfect contender for small harbour workboats.

Distributed in the UK by Loki Dynamics, this solid little engine is engineered for superior performance with a vertical shaft design, a mono-block 500cc single cylinder, direct cooling and electric start.

The D14 is a rarity in diesel outboards due to its small size, offering good power and exceptional torque, which allows it to handle heavy loads at low RPM with ease.

Despite its robust performance, the D14 has a modest fuel consumption, making it ideal for extended operations, the manufacturers say. With performance claimed to be on par with a 25HP gasoline outboard, the D14 redefines efficiency on the water.

The 75kg D14 is specifically designed with commercial applications in mind, for demanding environments such as the oil and gas industry, aquaculture and protected areas. The manufacturer says its robust construction ensures reliability in potentially hazardous settings and its simplicity means minimal maintenance requirements, providing a costeffective operation that saves time and resources.

Consuming just four litres an hour at full load, the D14 reduces the number of fuelling stops required and simplifies fuel management by using diesel exclusively. This is particularly convenient where the D14 powered boat is used in the service of larger diesel driven vessels, due to the single fuel required.

Diesel fuel’s lower flammability minimises fire risk, and the D14’s explosion-proof design eliminates the need to store fuel on board.

The D14 offers lower fuel consumption and costs, maximizing working hours and reducing the cost per operating hour.

Seawork exhibitor Servac has delivered a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), transferred it into a vessel, welded, assembled it in the refit yard at Fayard, Denmark and tested it in just 21 days.

Following the removal of the old system aboard the Bibby Polaris, Servac’s flexible design philosophy allowed a standard ACO Clarimar MF configuration to be adapted to fit within the available space while at the same time maintaining access to surrounding engine room equipment.

The main benefit of the ACO Clarimar MF ‘flat-pack’ STP solution fitted by Servac is claimed to be a significant cost saving, helped by there being no requirement to cut access hole(s) through the ship’s hull and wing tanks.

There was minimal, if any, disruption to existing ship equipment installations and hence a short installation time. It required minimal intervention by ship and yard personnel, Servac claims, and the new solution treats not only black water, but now also grey water.

The Bibby Polaris is 8,234grt Dive Support Vessel supporting a crew of 122 persons.

DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHT

European CTV operator Windcat Workboats has expanded its fleet to include hydrogen dual-fuel workboats - whose performance, AST Reygar says, has measured and reported accurately its telematics technology.

Since 2020, Windcat has utilised AST Reygar’s telematics technology to measure and report operational and cost criteria accurately.

In 2023, it announced plans to install AST Reygar’s BareFLEET, an award-winning remote performance monitoring system, on all new CTVs.

“BareFLEET is an invaluable tool for comparing vessel performance data between our conventional diesel and dual-fuel hydrogen craft,” said Phillip Goffin, IT Manager for Windcat. “The decision to install it on all our CTVs demonstrates our commitment to meeting customer reporting needs with a digitalised vessel fleet.”

BareFLEET provides critical insights into fuel use, emissions, machine health, VMMS motion, and navigational activity through continuous onboard sensor measurements. It is compatible with various engines, navigation systems and thirdparty equipment, consolidating essential data for analysis.

Goffin said BareFLEET had saved Windcat around 10 man hours per month by automating data collection.

Windcat also employs AST Reygar’s Digital DPR system across its fleet of more than 50 workboats, ensuring efficient and accurate daily reporting.

After an 18-month trial in 2022 with positive feedback from skippers and management, the fleet-wide rollout was completed in October. The DDPR app, running on onboard tablets, simplifies daily reporting, enhancing accuracy, and reducing administrative burdens.

BareFLEET’s DDPR allows Windcat to generate customised

Daily Progress Reports for clients and internal management, significantly reducing workloads for both crew and shorebased staff

“We are committed to meeting our customers’ reporting needs with a digitalised fleet. The AST Reygar team customised the DDPR system to our specific requirements, reducing the burden on crew and office teams,” Goffin said.

DDPR can function alongside BareFLEET or as a standalone solution. Live data from vessels is instantly accessible in the cloud, allowing comprehensive fleet analysis from Daily Progress Reports to monthly KPIs and trends.

This integration provides unique insights from boat to boardroom, enabling informed decision making based on accurate, near real-time data.

RIX PROPOSAL COULD ENABLE

H2 GENERATION AT SEA

Shipbuilders are under increasing pressure to adopt greener technologies, with a mandate to reduce carbon emissions by at least 50% by 2050.

One US company, Rix Industries, proposes producing hydrogen from methanol and de-ionized water as a solution for hydrogen generation at sea.

This method, known as hydrogen-on-demand, could revolutionise the maritime industry by eliminating the complexities associated with compressed cryogenic liquid hydrogen.

RIX M2H2 generation system

Liquid hydrogen storage offers significant benefits over gaseous options.

The density of a saturated liquid hydrogen molecule at 1 bar (14.5 psi) is 70 kg/m³, providing higher storage efficiency.

Traditional hydrogen liquefaction facilities, however, are energy intensive, consuming 8-10 kWhel/kg of hydrogen produced. This high energy demand results in more than 30% of the hydrogen’s energy content being used in the liquefaction process.

Rix Industries argues that the shift towards decarbonization with methanol is already under way, making hydrogen storage and production from methanol

the most cost-effective path to establishing a hydrogen economy

Rix Industries has developed an M2H2 generation system, which it touts as the most efficient hydrogen generation method using methanol for marine and mobile applications.

The methanol-water reforming process used by this system releases three moles of hydrogen per mole of methanol, thanks to the inclusion of water in the reaction. The process requires approximately 7.15kg of a methanol-water mixture to produce 1kg of hydrogen.

The system also offers significant cost savings.

With methanol priced at around $500 per metric ton at the time of writing, the RIX M2H2 system can generate 1kg of hydrogen for just $3.58, according to a Rix white paper, considerably cheaper than conventional gaseous and liquid hydrogen systems.

Safety and efficiency

One of the key benefits of the RIX M2H2 system is its inherent safety.

Hydrogen is stored at low pressure in a buffer tank, ready for quick and easy dispensing to the fuel cell, which operates at low inlet pressures. The system’s control scheme regulates reactor temperature and buffer tank pressure, monitoring other parameters for maintenance and fault diagnostics.

The small buffer tank ensures hydrogen is stored in minimal volumes and at low pressure, enhancing safety.

Under normal operation, the RIX M2H2 system can power a 150kW fuel cell with an approximately 150-gallon buffer tank at two to three bar pressure, containing only 0.23kg of hydrogen.

This is equivalent to about a quarter of a gallon of gasoline in terms of energy content. The system produces approximately 1800 SLPM, or 10kg of hydrogen per hour, with a fuel use rate of 0.9 litres per kWh of energy produced in the fuel cell.

The overall reformer efficiency is about 82% under steadystate conditions, says Rix. Fuel for the system can be stored in standard single or double-walled Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) totes.

Establishing a hydrogen economy

The global production of methanol is expected to more than double, from 148 million metric tonnes in 2019 to more than 310 million by 2030. While most methanol is currently derived from fossil fuels, there is a growing capacity to produce it from renewable sources.

Renewable methanol can be made from sustainable feedstocks such as municipal solid waste, biomass, biogas from digesters, carbon dioxide captured from industrial processes, and even direct air capture of carbon dioxide.

Renewable methanol is now commercially available, and several new production plants are under construction.

Currently, there are about eight renewable methanol plants in operation worldwide, with at least 20 more expected to come online within the next five to 10 years.

Rix Industries argues that the shift towards decarbonization with methanol is already under way, making hydrogen storage and production from methanol the most cost-effective path to establishing a hydrogen economy. Rix Industries’ approach to hydrogen generation using methanol and de-ionized water could offer a viable and efficient solution for the maritime industry’s shift towards greener technologies.

By leveraging the advantages of liquid storage and the innovative M2H2 generation system, Rix provides a method that is not only cost effective but also safe and adaptable to existing shipboard infrastructures. The technology positions Rix at the forefront of efforts to reduce carbon emissions and establish a sustainable hydrogen economy.

SOLENT LIFEBOATS BID FAIR

WINDS TO NEW CAISTER BOAT

The newly dedicated independent lifeboat for Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service (CVLS) was seen on her way out of the Solent in style on Sunday by a small parade of local independent lifeboats.

The new lifeboat was built, reportedly at a cost of £1.6m, by aluminium boatbuilding specialists Diverse Marine at Cowes on the Isle of Wight.

Although the build was officially completed in August 2023, and the 90% finished vessel was shown at Seawork last year, the dedicated launch and recovery tractor and beach trailer system was only recently completed at Caister.

The 14m Medina class self-righting lifeboat, designed by Walker Marine Design, based in Hamble, UK features an aluminium hull, deck and coach roof together with a resiliently mounted GRP wheelhouse to reduce noise and vibration for the crew.

The fully air-conditioned wheelhouse layout has been designed for up to six crew, all with designated AllSalt Maritime SHOXS 2000 seats.

Configuration is for a central helm station forward, nav station aft to starboard and an additional dedicated space for stretcher and casualties.

The all-weather vessel is equipped with DuroWipers Class 50 pantograph windscreen wipers, which are the smallest in the DuroWipers range.

Twin Scania DI13-077M main propulsion engines drive twin Hamilton HJ364 water jet units for speeds in excess of 35 knots. Twin helm stations feature Hamilton Jet’s AVX control system and Jet-Anchor functionality for station keeping.

Boats from Solent Rescue, Hamble Lifeboat and Freshwater Independent Lifeboat were in attendance as CVLS 45-01 headed east out of the Solent, with the other crews enjoying a brief tour of Caister’s new flagship offshore SAR vessel.

Boarding the vessel in mid Solent from other boats was made considerably more straightforward by the Hamilton Jet-Anchor system, which kept the CVLS 45-01 head to wind and tide and completely stationary over the ground.

While independent lifeboats represent some 30% of the lifeboat services around the UK and Ireland, they lack the large, centralised fundraising and publicity resources enjoyed by the RNLI, which manages the majority of UK stations.

THE BEST NOSE FOR THE JOB

Coaxing a 16% increase in efficiency from a hull is impressive, but it becomes a formidable feat when even the waves and foam it creates need to be tightly controlled, writes Stevie Knight.

When the design team of a large research vessel recently approached the Cloud Towing Tank there were conflicting issues – mostly centred on the pros and cons of a nose job.

Larger research vessels rely on hydrodynamic hull forms: it’s not just about cutting fuel expenditure, it’s also a matter of improved seakeeping.

To this end, they’re often fitted with a prominent ‘nose’ in the form of a bulbous bow.

“These devices do create additional resistance,” explains naval architect Inno Gatin, “But the idea is you get this back as the bulbs create their own wave field, which interacts with those generated by the bow of the vessel. It forms a socalled ‘destructive wave interference’ and the net result is a smaller wave pattern.”

It doesn’t suit all ships, but in the case of this 100m-plus vessel it could have been a useful win.

However, the team had already hit other concerns.

“Even while our initial tests were pointing to lower resistance through increasing the bulb length, we already knew we needed to reduce it somehow,” says Gatin. “That was a shame.”

In fact, one of the operator’s biggest concerns was finding a bow shape that would produce as little foam as possible. That’s because the all-important sonar scanners need clear water to work well – mixing in air causes the signal to bounce back.

Of course, the owner wants to spend less on fuel… but it’s not just that. If you have a higher resistance your propeller needs to spin faster, which means that the propulsion is producing more noise

As Gatin points out, these two shapes sit at opposing poles as you can’t just fill in the top of the bulb to create a more upright form without losing its important characteristics – further, it can’t protrude forward of the bow peak.

“In case of a collision you need something above water to make contact first, rather than something below,” he says.

“So the question was, how could we achieve a trade-off between the efficiency of a bulbous bow which is likely to create foam, and a more vertical stem vessel with a less efficient, not-so-prominent bulb that wouldn’t cause foam and splashing when you’re sailing through waves?”

Moreover, resolving the issues was less about hitting the midpoint on a sliding scale, and “rather more interrelated”, says Gatin.

“Of course, the owner wants to spend less on fuel… but it’s not just that. If you have a higher resistance your propeller needs to spin faster, which means that the propulsion is producing more noise,” he says. For a research vessel, this is an important issue because the onboard equipment also demands very low noise operation.

Luckily, efficiency isn’t only confined to these parameters – CTT’s combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and parametric shape optimisation brings other elements to the table. In fact, it was attention to the rear end of the design that gave rise to the biggest overall advantage.

“These vessels often have a submerged transom, but an almost rectangular profile at the stern,” says Gatin. “So if you move this vertically you’re not changing the waterline too much. Removing some displacement here means that you can add it somewhere else.”

Since retaining buoyancy is critical, that ‘somewhere else’ can be towards the centre of the vessel, adding volume amidship.

This also changes the form of the hull as it moves back from the bow – that is, how it transitions from a fuller shoulder into a straighter water entry.

The result is a ‘convex to concave’ pattern: a flattish ‘S’ shape that has a significant impact on overall ship efficiency and behaviour.

“The positioning and depth of these curves is very relevant to the way the hull interacts with the wave pattern generated by the vessel,” says Gatin. “Playing with this allows you to find a sweet spot.”

It’s also a very good move given the need for useful internal space below and working deck above, something else that CTT’s generation of alternate designs can highlight.

Finally, the research ship’s optimised hull form came together extremely well, satisfying the client’s requirements with curves in all the right places and a smaller but still effective ‘nose’.

After all, no-one can sniff at a 16% rise in hydrodynamic efficiency.

A big thanks to the project teams and all subcontractors and suppliers who worked with great commitment and dedication towards this crucial stage of the construction process,” said Johan de Graaf, project manager shipbuilding at Van Oord.

”With the Boreas now afloat, we’re entering the final stages of the newbuilding, and we are excited to continue our journey towards successful delivery.”

Challenging construction Because of its size, Mr de Graaf said that the launch was a challenging job.

First, it had to be moved from the construction site to the quay, using the so-called ‘skidding method’. Skidding is a safe and efficient load-out method for the horizontal transport of heavy and oversized objects along a linear track.

‘‘

With the Boreas now afloat, we’re entering the final stages of the newbuilding, and we are excited to continue our journey towards successful delivery

The vessel was then skidded from the quay onto two pontoons. These pontoons were later submerged in a controlled operation after which the Boreas became afloat.

The works on the Boreas will continue with the installation of the main crane and the extension of the legs of the jack-up vessel. Meanwhile the vessel’s technical installation will be

further commissioned, after which sea trails will take place to test performance.

Boreas is preparing Van Oord for the increase in scale in the offshore wind industry.

The vessel measures 175 metres in length and has a crane with a 155-metre-high boom, able to lift over 3,000 tonnes.

Four giant legs, each measuring 126 metres, allow the vessel to be jacked up and work in waters up to 70 metres deep. It will therefore be able to install the next generation of 20 MW offshore wind turbines at sea.

It’s the first of its kind to be able to run on methanol, expected to reduce the ship’s carbon footprint by more than 78%.

In addition, the vessel will be equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction technology to reduce the NOx emission to an absolute minimum.

A battery pack of about 6,000 kWh can take peak loads and regenerate energy to reduce the fuel consumption and corresponding emissions even further.

SOV launched to work on French OSW farm

Norway-based Edda Wind has taken delivery of a new service operation vessel (SOV) to operate at the St Brieuc offshore wind farm being operated by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

The C416. which will be named Edda Goelo, has been prepared for operations using hydrogen as energy carrier in a concept adopted by Edda Wind called its ’Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier’ concept. She is a Salt 0358 design and the sister vessel of Edda Brint, which was delivered from Astilleros Balenciaga shipyard in Spain in October 2022. Sixty persons can be

VARD WINS HYBRID OFFSHORE

VESSEL DEAL

VARD has won a deal with Norwegian shipper Island Offshore for the design and build of a new hybrid ocean energy construction vessel (OECV).

Island Offshore operates in the oil & gas and renewables markets and runs a fleet of 19 vessels. The deal – with an option for two more – follows an earlier delivery in 2020/21 of three vessels built by VARD, including the Island Victory.

“We are proud to present the next generation OECVs with versatile capabilities that will ensure long-term employment as the energies of the ocean evolve,” said Morten Ulstein, chair of Island Offshore.

“We strongly believe in the vessel concept and look forward to presenting the vessel to our clients.”

The 120m VARD 3 25 design allows for flexible configuration depending on operations. With an optimised hull, DP2 positioning and accommodation for 130 crew, the engine set is alternative-fuel ready. It will be used for subsea operations such as inspection, maintenance and repair, pipe laying, infrastructure construction and installation, diving support and for ROV underwater inspection.

With preparations for a walk-to-work gangway and a heave-compensated offshore subsea crane of 250 tonnes, the vessel is also ready for commissioning, cable laying and repairs, trenching and survey.

VARD’s full scope also includes outfit along with SeaQ equipment such as energy storage systems, a shore connection, and bridge and communication system all delivered by Vard Electro.

“During the years, VARD has delivered an impressive 41 vessels to Island Offshore,” said Kristian Sætre, senior vice president for sales and marketing.

“It is a pleasure to announce that Island Offshore once more place the order for their new investment at VARD.”

The hull will be built at one of VARD’s shipyards in Romania, while the outfitting, commissioning and delivery will be from one of the shipyards in Norway. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered Q1 2027.

VARD inks Taiwanese windfarm CSOV double build

VARD has signed a contract with an undisclosed Taiwanese customer for the design and construction of two hybrid Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOV).

These vessels are of VARD 4 39 design which is a new design from VARD. They provide a versatile all-round platform for sustainable windfarm support operations both as a service vessel for the windfarms and for the building and installation phase.

One of VARD’s advantages is our ability to collaborate closely with customers to tailor-make vessels based on the customer’s needs and requirements and this vessel has been developed in a fruitful process together with the customer,” said Christian Utvik, senior vice president sales & marketing, VARD.

“We look forward to progressing the project in the construction phase and hope we can create a long and prolific partnership in years to come.”

The vessels are prepared with a large external deck and a hull shape that supports fuel efficiency and future integration of a modular power and fibre optic cable lay and repair spread.

They have been developed with large design flexibility to accommodate future operational and fuel demands, with a focus on environmental footprint with efficient machinery and propulsion. The design includes a full electrical equipment package as part of a forward-leaning strategy in the electrification of and delivery of enhanced reliable operations onboard the ships. This

includes a powerful battery package, crane and W2W gangway system.

The new vessels will have Vard Electro’s SeaQ Bridge system installed which will integrate the vessels’ electrical systems to minimise emissions and maximise operational window.

The newbuilds will also be equipped with Vard Electro’s SeaQ Integrated Alarm System (IAS), Power Management System (PMS) and Energy Management System (EMS).

VARD’s specialised subsidiary Seaonics will support the project with delivery of a fully-electric lift and handling system.

For efficient cargo handling Seaonics will supply the ECMC 7-ton 3D compensated crane. The first vessel will be built and delivered in Q4 2026, the second in Q1 2027.

The world’s first tug to be powered by methanol was launched yesterday at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.

Part of the European-Union-funded Fastwater project, Methatug’s engines have been converted to dual-fuel capability, running on a mixture of diesel and methanol.

According to a statement, she can store 12,000 litres of methanol, which is enough for two weeks’ work. She has a length of 29.5 metres, weighs 584 tons and has a 50t bollard pull.

Fastwater aims to demonstrate the feasibility of methanol as a fuel for the shipping industry, and a number of other partners included Swedish ship design agency ScandiNAOS; Belgian engine manufacturer Angle Belgian Corporation; German methanol injectors company Heinzmann; UK emission monitoring specialists at Ghent University; and Canadian methanol supplier Methanex.

Truck-to-ship bunkering will be provided at the port by De Wit Bunkering.

The port aims to make a range of fuels available alongside diesel, including methanol, hydrogen and electricity.

”The Methatug is a new and essential step in our efforts to make our own fleet greener

and become climate neutral by 2020,” said port CEO Jacques Vandermeiren. “Thanks to projects auch as this, we are paving the way and hope to be an example and a source of inspiration for other ports.”

”The fact we are able to announce another world premier in the field of clean energy is fantastic news for our port

and for the shipping industry in general,” said Antwerp vice-mayor and president ot the port’s board of directors Annick De Ridder.

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges has placed itself at the forefront of ‘greening’ its fleet, launching CMB-Tech’s Hydrotug last November.

Hydrotug is also a dual-fuel vessel, with medium speed engines – each providing 2MW – with the latest EU Stage V emissions after treatment system.

“Just like with Hydrotug, the world’s first hydrogen-powered tugboat, this project confirms our pioneering role in the field of energy transition,” said De Ridder. ”The ecosystem of our port platform forms an ideal, large-scale testing ground for this.”

Methatug is not the only vessel to be converted to alternative fuels by partners in the Fastwater project: in Germany a river cruise ship will be converted along with a pilot boat in Sweden and a coast guard vessel in Greece.

PILOT BOAT LAUNCHED AT BELFAST HARBOUR

A new £1.5m (€1.75m) pilot boat has been launched at Belfast Harbour.

Built by Holyhead Marine Services, the vessel replaces PB4, which is the oldest pilot boat in the harbour with 24 years’ service.

“The new Hibernia has a lightweight, resin-infused hull and refined shape to make it more fuel efficient hull design and engines that are able to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, helping to reduce carbon emissions from pilot boat operations,” said a statement. “It is also believed that it will be the first pilot vessel on the island of Ireland equipped with a selective catalytic reduction exhaust system, which reduces nitrous oxide emissions.”

William Ritchie started shipbuilding in the city in 1791, on

the site of the future Harbour Office. Within a year, the 300 tonne Hibernia was launched, which began trading between Belfast, New York and the Caribbean. More than 230 years later, the second Hibernia has been named.

“We wanted to purchase a vessel that would advance and improve the resilience of this mission-critical service,” said Belfast Harbour port director Michael Robinson. “Our crew and engineers worked closely with the Holyhead Marine from the outset as the project progressed from design through to delivery.”

Theresa Donaldson, chair of Belfast Harbour, was named godmother at the traditional naming ceremony.

Penguin to build fast supply vessel for Senegal

Seawork exhibitor Penguin International will build a fast supply vessel for Senegal as the nation kickstarts its offshore energy sector.

Designed by Incat Crowther, the catamaran hull form is based on Penguin’s WindFlex-32 crew transfer vessel, with an LOA of 36.4 metres, capacity of 32 personnel and top speed of 33.5 knots.

Four Caterpillar C32 engines will power the vessel, propelled by four Hamilton HTX52 jets.

The vessel will have a large 62m3 foredeck, with a dedicated, enclosed cargo area and a FROG crew transfer crane.

Incat Crowther says the design ’represents a unique blend of features from the offshore wind and offshore oil and gas sectors’, and will be fitted with the latest emissions reduction technology to ensure it is IMO III compliant –altrhough it did not give details of what that technology is.

“This project will add to the growing number of work boats and CTVs servicing the global offshore energy sector that have been designed and delivered by Incat Crowther and Penguin International,” said Sam Mackay, Incat Crowther technical manager.

A Spanish shipbuilder will build the first electric Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV) for UK-based Bibby Marine.

Gondan Shipbuilders has been contracted to build the eCSOV. which has received UK government funding under the Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure scheme.

The vessel will contain 20MWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that can be charged offshore if the infrastructure is there, and likewise onshore. The onboard charging equipment will be capable of receiving high-voltage charging – 11kv – which Kathryn Doyle, at Bibby Marine, believes is a first.

“This involves a significant amount of electrical equipment and design on the vessel and we believe we are the only ones who have done this date,” she said. ”We are also working closely with offshore charging suppliers to ensure the vessel interfaces are prepared for accommodating their equipment for physical connection to the offshore charging network.”

The eCSOV will have back-up hybrid engines that run on methanol or marine gas oil, ablr to operate on 100% diesel mode or dual-fuel mode, which is 90-99% methanol with pilot injection of diesel only, she said.

”Methanol is around 50% less energy dense than diesel but is approximately the same

BIBBY HIRES BUILDER OF FIRST ELECTRIC CSOV

weight. This means we have to carry double the methanol to meet the same range as diesel. Sourcing green methanol is not easy, but with rising demand we expect supplies to increase over the next five years.

Doyle says Bibby Marine’s ’journey to green’ began in 2019, when a feasibility study, WaveMaster Zero C, looked at various criteria to focus on the concept of an electric CSOV, with a

large battery that could be recharged

“We looked at the various challenges of the concept, such as offshore charging, marine batteries etc,” she said.

The vessel, designed in collaboration with UK ship designers Longitude, will operate in UK/European waters.

Chartwell Marine has announced that a new Chartwell Brevity Class Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) entered build in March at the Diverse Marine shipyard in Cowes, UK.

The vessel becomes the latest in Chartwell’s growing pipeline of new vessel builds to supply the global offshore wind market.

“Demand for proven, low emission offshore wind vessels to support construction and operations across Europe, the USA and Asia has never been higher,” said Andy Page, managing director of Chartwell Marine.

“Finding routes to enable investment into new builds at regional shipyards will be essential for meeting this increasingly urgent requirement, while ensuring that the economic benefits of offshore wind expansion are felt on a local level.”

Versatile vessels

This latest Brevity Class CTV is one of three Chartwell-designed ‘stock’ boats to be constructed by Diverse Marine as part of a unique finance and lease programme, which aims to give vessel operators the certainty to invest in their fleets ahead of the next phase of European offshore wind expansion.

It is scheduled for completion in Q4 2024, to be joined by its sister vessels in Q2 2025 and

CHARTWELL MARINE EXPANDS ITS CTV BUILD PROGRAMME

Q3 2025. The Brevity Class is designed for the global market, capitalising on lessons learnt supporting offshore wind projects throughout construction and operation in Europe, while also responding to specific requirements of projects in US and Asian markets.

It is a high-powered CTV, capable of cost-effective, low-emissions operation – with a signature hull form that enables enhanced manoeuvrability and stability.

To meet a wide range of operational

demands across these markets, the Brevity Class can accommodate up to 32 personnel, with a range of crew configurations to allow for flexible space planning, and enhanced comfort for longer periods spent offshore.

A further Brevity Class vessel is in build at Manor Marine in Dorset and is due to enter operations as part of Manor Renewable Energy’s OPUS offshore fleet this summer.

Meanwhile, in the United States, St John’s Ship Building is putting the finishing touches on Atlantic Resolute, the second in a series of six Chartwell Ambitious Class vessels ordered by Atlantic Wind Transfers (AWT) – the first US offshore wind farm support company. Atlantic Resolute hit the water in March this year, ahead of her handover to AWT.

In total, the global pipeline of Chartwell Marine Offshore wind assets in build now exceeds 15 vessels across six shipyards in Europe and the USA. Chartwell already has 14 offshore wind vessels launched and operational at major offshore windfarms, including two in US waters.

FIRST ENERGY ISLAND BUILDING BLOCK BUILT

The world’s first energy island is looking more like a reality as the building of its massive foundation get under way.

Twenty-three 57m x 30m x 30m concrete caissons are to be built at a wharf dedicated to constructing the Princess Elisabeth Island, which will be installed in the North Sea 45km off the Belgian coast.

Each one will weigh 23,000 tonnes, take three months to build and then transported by semi-submersible vessel to another part of the port to be lowered into the water and stored until all are built. The caissons will form the outer walls of the energy island, which will then have 2.3 million cubic metres of sand pumped into the centre.

The caissons will be filled with water to keep them in place when they are taken to their final destination in the North Sea.

The energy island is a great example of cooperation between Belgium and the Netherlands, with European support ‘‘

Belgian officials, including prime minister Alexander De Croo, visited the wharf last week to see the first caisson as it was completed.

“The North Sea is set to become the powerhouse of our energy independence, and Princess Elisabeth Island will be a crucial part of this process,” said De Croo. “Belgium has long been a pioneer in offshore wind, and by continuing to innovate, we are further consolidating our position for the future.

“This gives our Belgian companies more opportunity to do ground-breaking work, both here and abroad, as well as guaranteeing sustainable, competitively priced energy for our citizens and businesses. Once again, we are putting Belgium on the map.”

The island is timetabled to be finished in late 2026, when the mammoth task of installing the electrical equipment will begin, tenders for which have not yet been published.

The energy island is being partly financed by the EU’s Covid-19 recovery fund, having been awarded a grant of around €100 million, in consultation with the Belgian government.

Contractors DEME and Jan De Nul are spearheading the works at the port, a 60km stretch running from Vlissingen in the Netherlands to Ghent in Belgium.

“The energy island is a great example of cooperation between Belgium and the Netherlands, with European support,” said North Sea Port CEO Daan Schlack. “Major Belgian companies have chosen Vlissingen, in the Dutch part of our port, as the location to construct the world’s first energy island of this kind.

“This choice was prompted by our strategy of backing the energy transition. As a result, a complete cluster for the offshore industry has been developing in Vlissingen for several years, for example offshore wind farm construction.”

An upsurge in offshore wind operations has boosted a little-known port in the northeast of England so that it now stands as marine contractor Prysmian’s north European base.

The Port of Middlesbrough is owned and operated by AV Dawson, who has just signed a 10-year partnership with Prysmian to base itself there and expand its warehousing space.

The Italian firm, which has been a tenant at Port of Middlesbrough for several years, has now cemented its long-term partnership with the port in preparation for future growth.

For the port to be fit for Prysmian’s purposes, major investment has been made to upgrade the berthing facilities to accommodate today’s huge offshore installation vessels – such as Leonardo da Vinci, the famous cable-laying vessel that is currently the largest in the world.

With a beam of 33 metres, Leonardo da Vinci is five metres wider than any vessels that have used the Port of Middlesbrough so far, and dredging was also required to provide enough draught.

“Prysmian and some of other customers are now enquiring about shore power to support their net-zero ambitions, so that is the next significant investment to plan for,” said AV Dawson group managing director Charlie Dawson.

MIDDLESBROUGH EXPANDS TO BECOME OSW HUB

“Seeing these huge vessels coming into our port is also fantastic for our colleagues and the local community to witness. It suddenly makes the river and all the activity happening on it much more visible for people.”

Teesside and northeast England has become a major region for offshore wind.

“Port of Middlesbrough is strategically positioned, has well-connected transport links and offers state-of-the-art facilities, making it an ideal place to expand our current

operations,” said Peter Watson, responsible for the overall management of Prysmian’s marine base. “However, our decision to be here is as much about the working relationship we have. Everyone knows what we’re trying to achieve and just works brilliantly together to make it happen.

“This contract cements our commitment to the port and the town, as we look forward to the future and the exciting developments that are coming over the next few years.”

ADVISOR HIRED FOR WORLD’S FIRST SHIP TUNNEL

Technical advisors have been signed up to work on Norway’s plans to build the first ship tunnel in the world.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration has contracted COWI, a Danish consultancy, to ‘be an important technical partner in the process of procuring and constructing the world’s ship tunnel’, says project manager Terje Skjeppestad, Norwegian Coastal Administration.

It is the first successful tender announced for the €195 million project, which was first considered some 150 years ago, in 1874.

The Stad peninsula, or Stadlandet, sticks out into a harsh, windy stetch of sea that sits where the North Sea ends and the Norwegian Sea begins.

It is the only peninsula between Stavanger and Honningsvåg that goes out into open sea without any archipelago to break waves, and as such has been the site of countless shipwrecks and fatalities over the years, in 1594 recording 15 sinkings with up to 600 deaths.

The waters are so challenging that seafarers have been known to pull their vessels 4.5km over the peninsula on land, climbing 240m high mountains using timber logs, rather than risk the ocean route.

Tunnel works

To create a safe passage for ships in the region, designers selected one of three options – a tunnel at the narrowest point of the peninsula that will be blasted out of mountain along a length of 1.7 kilometres.

“A tunnel was selected for this new route in preference to a normal canal because the route had to pass through 300-metre mountains which would have made a canal impossible,” said Stad Ship Tunnel Project Manager Terje Andreassen.

The tunnel, between the Moldefjord and Kjødepollen, will have a water surface width of 26.5 metres and height of 50 metres, allowing larger vessels to safely navigate past Stadlandet.

“The tunnel will be constructed first by drilling horizontally

and using explosives to dig out the roof section of the tunnel,” say the project developers. “Once the roof has been secured with bolts and anchors and Shotcrete applied, the rest of the tunnel will be dug out to a level of 12 metres below sea level with rock dams holding back the water.”

The stone blasted from the mountain in digging the tunnel – estimated to be about 5.4 million cubic metres’ worth – will be used to build piers and commercial areas around the tunnel entrances, and other facilities in the region.

Architecture and design firm Snøhetta has designed the entrances, and the company’s early plans for the tunnel show sculpted tunnel openings and a bright LED lighting system for the tunnel interior.

“We have previously served as the design lead on the world’s longest suspension bridge,” said COWI project leader Espen Viddal. “Projects that are the longest, largest and first of their kind are something that excites us and that we want to be a part of.

“We have the experience and expertise, especially in tunnel operation and rock caverns, which we believe aligns well with the Stad Ship Tunnel project.”

Construction of the Stad Ship Tunnel will begin next year, with hopes of completion in 2030.

IMCA appoints new president and VP

A new president and vice-president have been appointed by the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA).

New president Luca Gentili is head of Assets, Fabrication and Project Services at Saipem, the offshore platform, pipeline and other structures installation expert.

He replaces Jonathan Tame, SVP Projects & Offshore Operations at Subsea 7, in accordance with the two-year terms at the IMCA.

“I’m delighted to be appointed President of IMCA and I am looking forward to continuing to work with the board, as well as with our CEO Iain Grainger,” said Gentili. “IMCA has a

and I will continue to work closely with Iain and his team to ensure members’ voices are fully heard.”

New vice-president Hugo Bouvy is DEME Offshore managing director.

“I’m looking forward to working with Luca and Hugo as we continue to focus on what we do best, supporting our members to meet the safety and sustainability challenges which lie ahead,” said IMCA CEO Iain Grainger.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Jon for his contribution to IMCA as President, and for his steady hand and guidance in what has been a transitional time for both the organisation and the industry.”

Belgian marine contractor Jan De Nul has reported on its involvement in the Canal Tunnels project beneath Antwerp’s Albert Canal that will form the “missing link” for Antwerp’s busy ring road.

The Canal Tunnels will comprise four tubes stacked in pairs and, unlike other similar tunnel elements that are built ashore, floated into position then sunk, will be built on site.

Preparatory work included dredging in the Albert Canal and construction of a working island.

Steel sheet piles will be driven into the bottom of the Albert Canal, with testing already determining the best technique involves a method using more vibratory driving and less pile driving to minimise noise pollution.

This will take around a year, and from the end of 2024 water will be pumped out from between the sheet piling and the construction pit, which will be filled with sand to create a dry area for building the tunnels.

Navigation

The work will reduce the width of the Albert Canal, a heavily used waterway for shipping, and special measures have been included to maintain safe navigation during the period.

Local VTS provision has been extended to

Worker safety is important and an approach berm, a first in Belgium, has been built in the America Dock to protect the shipyard and later the tunnels and ships in case of a collision, a potential risk as the top of the tunnels will be slightly higher than the bottom of the dock. While the probability of a collision is “very low thanks to vessel guidance and

Van Oord has just restored the beaches of Valencia along seven kilometres of coastline, the largest project of its kind in Spain’s history.

Since 1965 the beaches to the south of the Valencia have been slowly eroding, and to restore them to their former glory, the Spanish government contracted the joint venture of Dravo SA, a Van Oord company, and Rover Maritime.

They were enllisted to restore seven kilometres of coastline, widening the beaches to 150 metres, and extend two breakwaters to help reduce erosion.

Using a combination of floating and submerged pipelines over a distance of almost two kilometres, Van Oord’s largest trailing suction hopper dredger, HAM 318, pumped the dredged material onto shore.

New dunes were built up to keep a freshwater lake close to shore separate from the Mediterranean Sea. Sand, sand collectors – a local cordgrass – and other vegetation were put in squares over 75 kilometres to trap sand instead of it blowing away.

“Van Oord’s subsidiary Dravo S.A. looks back on the Valencia project with pride,” said Jesus Martin, managing director Dravo SA. “Thanks to the expertise and commitment of the project team, the large-scale project has been

successfully completed within budget and within the agreed execution period. The new beaches not only serve as coastal protection for Valencia, they also contribute to the restoration of the ecology within the area.”

In February, Van Oord began a land reclamation project in Estonia, where a new quay is needed to speed up the development of the offshore wind sector in the region.

8 Valencia beach restoration - the largest such project in Spain’s history

Building has begun at the Ports of Genoa of the first underwater tunnel in Italy, which project leaders say is the largest in Europe.

Autostrade per L’Italia – the Italian government department leading the works – has unveiled a design by architect Renzo Piano, who also designed the new Genoa San Giorgio Bridge, to link the western and eastern sides of the city by tunnelling underneath the port basin.

The €1 billion tunnel will be 3.4 kilometres long, 16 metres wide and 45 metres beneath sea level. Two tubes will run along its length for traffic to flow in each direction, with the Autostrade per L’Italia estimating it will save a million hours of road travel every year.

Work began by knocking down a large industrial warehouse using two giant cranes with grapples, which opened up an area of 25,000 square metres to build the opening of the western entrance, where excavation works will begin. The tunnel is expected to be open to traffic in August 2029.

The subport tunnel is only part of a major urban regeneration project for Genoa, which is having three other tunnels dug for the railway junction.

The Port of Genoa is also having a major upgrade, with a 6.2km breakwater being built

PORTS OF GENOA STARTS €1BN SUBSEA TUNNEL

on a base 50 metres deep. So far, a million tonnes of gravel have been laid along the seabed by Italian engineering firm Webuild Group, which has also submerged 1,320 gravel columns at the port, that were transported to Genoa on three bulk carriers.

Ninety-seven caissons, the largest of which will be as tall as a 10-storey building, will be built. The breakwater will provide safe access for today’s 450m long ships, which cannot use the Port of Genoa in its current form.

A new 800m turning basin will give the port, Webuild says, the ability to compete with Europe’s biggest ports.

“The sub-port tunnel signifies a pivotal project set to enhance traffic flow in our city while prioritizing safety and sustainability, particularly from an environmental standpoint,” said Genoa’s mayor, Marco Bucci. “It heralds a genuine revolution for Genoa, an unparalleled infrastructure in Italy, and one of the most forward-thinking endeavours in Europe presently.

“From its conception, we’ve held steadfast belief in this project, recognizing it as an engineering feat of the highest calibre. Together with the new Waterfront, the Dam, and the Lanterna Park, it will utterly transform this section of the city.

“We stand prepared to tackle this new challenge head-on, as months of intensive labour lie ahead to realise the vision of the new sub-port tunnel, propelling Genoa boldly into the future.”

ONSHORE CABLE WORKS BEGIN AT THOR

RWE is ready to take the next step in the construction of its Thor Offshore Wind Farm in the Danish North Sea.

From mid-April to the end of October, the onshore cable works will be carried out at the onshore substation south of Lemvig.

The horizontal directional drilling works will take place at depths of more than 20 metres to protect and preserve the dunes with further smaller horizontal directional drilling works carried out along the approximately 4 kilometres cable route between the onshore substation at Volder Mark and the beach.

The subsea cables that will be led to the shore are export cables from the offshore substation, which will supply the substation on land. The subsea cables will be installed and connected to the onshore cables in 2025

Landfall works are being carried out to enable two ducts to run under the dunes and the nearby field to prepare for cable pull-in next year. Each drill hole is approximately 425 metres long and the ducts will measure 71 centimetres in diameter. The duct sections will be welded together on the beach, from where they will be pulled through the drill holes.

East of Torsmindevej, the onshore cables will be divided into three phases each. They will be laid and buried during June and July and led to the onshore substation, where they will be connected. Joint bay, jointing and testing works will be carried out throughout July to October.

The subsea cables that will be led to the shore are export cables from the offshore substation, which will supply the substation on land. The subsea cables will be installed and connected to the onshore cables in 2025.

With a planned capacity of more than 1,000 megawatts, Thor will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date.

Once fully operational in 2027, Thor should be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households.

The Thor project is part of RWE’s ambition to increase its offshore wind capacity to 10 gigawatts by 2030. The company already operates Rødsand 2 approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Rødbyhavn.

Seatools pre-piling deployed at Taiwan wind farm

Seatools has successfully delivered and put to use its pre-piling template equipment at the Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm project in Taiwan.

Seatools, in close collaboration with CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering (CDWE), is responsible for the design of the pile template’s metrology and control system, encompassing all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and software components.

The scope also includes hydraulic and mechanical systems dedicated to template levelling and precise pile positioning.

“This project not only solidifies Seatools’ position as the preferred supplier of mission-critical subsea equipment for industry leaders like CDWE but also highlights the strength of our partnership,”

said Jan Frumau, managing director at Seatools.

“The excellent cooperation we experienced with CDWE was instrumental in

achieving such a smooth execution. By leveraging our advanced simulation techniques and robust industrial-grade subsea hardware, we empower our clients to perform effective and precise pre-piling operations.”

Seatools said it used advanced simulations to help achieve a smooth commissioning of equipment. Each simulation is extensively tested under various operational conditions prior to use to reduce the need for on-site modifications or calibration.

The project uses both a vibratory hammer and an impact hammer for pile installation. This mixed-method approach led Seatools to undertake a detailed evaluation, ensuring the equipment’s structural integrity and operational reliability under the varied loads imposed by both the vibratory and impact methods.

Steel has been cut for the offshore HVDC platforms that will convert the power generated at the Norfolk Vanguard wind farms recently sold by Vattenfall o RWE.

Drydocks World and Aker Solutions have agreed to work together in building the platforms, for which Aker will undertake the substructure fabrication in Verdal, Norway, and the topside will be built in Dubai at the Drydocks facility.

Drydocks World is owned by DP World. It carries our more than 300 projects for marine and offshore every year, it says, on a 200-hectare site that has three graving docks, ma floating dock and more than 3.7km of berthing space. It also has heavy-lift capability.

The UK offshore wind zone will comprise three wind farms in total, the other named Norfolk Boreas, which will have a power generation capacity of 4.2GW, making it one of the largest in the world.

The East and West platforms will be built over the next five years, including the sail-away and offshore installation. Each will convert 1.4GW of power into electricity to send it to shore.

STEEL CUT FOR OFFSHORE PLATFORMS PROJECT

“By collaborating with Aker Solutions and Siemens Energy in these projects, we are able to leverage our collective experience in renewable projects and in

particular Drydocks World’s expertise in HVDC and HVAC platforms,” said Drydocks World CEO Rado Antolovic.

SPOTLIGHT: THE WORLD’S LARGEST ROV FLEET

Ocean Infinity is creating the world’s largest fleet of remotely operable vessels, including unmanned motherships designed to work in force-multiplier teams, writes Stevie Knight

It’s a hugely complex challenge – but it could benefit the wider industry, as Andy Tourell says, presenting the firm in Maritime Journal’s Get Set for Workboat 2050 series.

While the UK company has its roots in offshore inspection, repair and maintenance, it’s a stepping stone: “There are almost no offshore activities that take place above or below the waves that can’t be made significantly more efficient, greener and or safer, thanks to robotics,” says Tourell.

The pathway is logical. “We’ve been deploying subsea robotics from conventional vessels since its inception. And now we’re taking those ambitions a big step further by creating the fleet of robotic ships,” he says.

Armada strategy

There’s good reason for thinking big - the advantages of this Ocean Armada strategy run from operational efficiencies to build and construction economies.

Locating these ships around the globe entails lower transit costs and, as Tourell says: “It makes it interesting for our partners as well, as we are a single customer that can scale technology from the outset.”

Ocean Infinity (OI) is moving fast. It now has a complete series of eight 78m low-to-no crew, DP2-enabled motherships: launch and recovery of smaller unmanned craft is supported by a pair of 9m-by-4m moonpools, while a 15m beam yields plenty of deck space for additional containerised kit.

There are almost no offshore activities that take place above or below the waves that can’t be made significantly more efficient, greener and or safer, thanks to robotics

At time of writing, three of these 78s were operating commercially and another five undergoing final commissioning and mobilisation. There’s an 86m version on the way for next January, with the full fleet of six expected by the end of 2025 and the first 36m variants also targeted for mid 2025.

Although these motherships will be fully unmanned in future, the 78s’ current operations drop onboard personnel by almost three quarters, to a maximum of 16. That allows optimising the design for the task rather than the crew.

“Smaller vessels will have the same capability as conventional vessels twice their size,” says Tourell, dramatically lowering both operating costs and emissions.

OI’s approach is already proving the point: February saw a mothership team up with a pair of 8m USVs to capture 58% of a 28-day survey’s bathymetric data while contributing under 4% of the project’s total carbon emissions.

As previously noted it wouldn’t be effective without paring down transits – something that also applies to personnel.

There are already remote stations in Southampton UK, Singapore, Tasmania, and an Asian one will likely come online in 2025 – but OI won’t be flying people around the globe.

“We’ll be recruiting for those roles where we have the operating centres,” says Tourell, adding the company is developing an upskilling and recruitment pathway.

New fuels

Power is also under review. While biofuel is an immediate option, “this won’t shift the needle” far towards the end goal of true sustainability. Therefore the company has developed its Armada vessels with space allocated for ammonia storage tanks and fuel processing rooms. A desktop design study has also led to scalable ammonia/hydrogen combustion engine architecture.

While Ocean Infinity still believes that “ammonia is the long game” for OI’s high endurance, low-speed fleet, commerciality is further off than initially expected, says Tourell.

So OI is involved in the ZEVI (Zero-Emission Vessels and Infrastructure) initiative, focusing on developing a methanol conversion package that will allow vessels to operate on both methanol and diesel.

Despite this, refuelling remains a thorny issue.

“We’re not working in and out of one port. We don’t have a regular route… Whilst we locate the vessels geographically to minimise transit times, we’ve got to be able to access these fuels from multiple countries in fairly close succession,” he says, adding collaboration with governments and other stakeholders is central to success.

Again, scale helps.

“These demonstrations are going to be quite instrumental for the rest of the supply chain [to show] whether it works… or whether we should be thinking about something different,” he says.

While this space is a competitive one, Tourell concludes: “If we can pull together and share those learnings, not only will we advance the technology quicker, we’ll be able to unite behind the key messages [to government] to make sure that support is being provided where it’s needed.”

FUTURE-FUELLED TUGS FOR THE LONG HAUL

As the towage industry grapples with reducing emissions in a world where fuels of the future are still being mapped out, it has to make decisions that could affect the commercial viability of investments that stretch way off into the future, reports Peter Barker.

Damen Shipyards Group has published an insights paper Sustainable fuels gather momentum detailing the pros and cons of various alternative fuel options confronting the shipping industry in general. It has followed this up with its answer for the towage industry, including a new tug design, in simple terms stating flexibility is the key to the future through the period of maritime transition.

As Damen’s Product Manager Tugs Erik van Schaik explains: “During its lifetime, a tug that is delivered today will be required to reduce its emissions year on year until, by 2050, it is sailing with zero emissions or is carbon neutral.

“The issue is, it’s not commercially attractive to upgrade an existing tug to the new technologies required to achieve this – an operator would literally be pricing themselves out of the market.”

Questions tug owners face include how to pay today for technology that will only provide a return on investment years into the future and what fuels will be available and affordable in a world where the technology required has not yet reached maturity.

Damen’s response is a new design, the Fuel Flexible Tug – designated ASD Tug 2812 FF “prepared today for whatever tomorrow may demand of it” and immediately after unveiling the new design the Dutch shipbuilder reported an agreement between itself and CMB.TECH for four hydrogen-powered tugs of the ASD Tug 2812 FF class.

Damen’s aim is to produce a tug that, as standard, is prepared for a variety of dual-fuel arrangements “right now ready for a rapid – and very cost-effective – adaptation in the future once some of the questions can be answered”.

Challenges

Challenges with the new design include the ability to support less energy-dense fuels, requiring the tug to be heavier and larger while remaining compact for modern port operations. It includes a “very compact” wheelhouse and reduced beam.

It will have sufficient volume to support a fuel preparation space and alternative tanks for fuels including methanol.

A particular challenge was complying with flag state and class rules for methanol and ethanol in ships, rules that are not feasible for compact vessels such as tugs.

A collaboration between classification society BV, Belgian and Dutch state authorities and Caterpillar undertook a riskbased design process developing features that rapidly achieved a number of approvals in principle.

Risks include the low flashpoint of methanol (around 10C) compared to diesel (approximately 60C), whereby boil over of the former becomes explosive with a risk of intoxication and explosion or fire with accumulation of vapours.

The requirement of a cofferdam between methanol tanks and air to prevent leakage and tank heating was also considered unsuitable in a space-limited compact tug, and Damen’s answer involves a full-penetration welding solution of the tanks to prevent leakage along with installation of

methanol sensors in surrounding compartments and A60 insulation between the tanks and air to prevent heating.

Combined tank connection and methanol preparation spaces are located directly against the methanol tanks.

Ventilation requirements resulting in permanent hazardous areas around the outlets are again considered infeasible by Damen and its solution here will see closed spaces filled with nitrogen with replacement of oxygen with nitrogen mitigating explosion risks and avoiding creation of permanent hazardous areas.

During its lifetime, a tug that is delivered today will be required to reduce its emissions year on year until, by 2050, it is sailing with zero emissions or is carbon neutral

Current rules require venting for release of overpressure, again creating permanent hazardous areas. Damen addresses this with storage tanks to handle all likely pressure fluctuations during normal operation, whereby with no unexpected emergency release of toxic flammable vapours there are no permanent hazardous zones.

Each of the above solutions has been awarded AiP from BV and each has a patent pending.

“With this we aim to provide the market with a commercially viable decarbonisation road map based on fuel flexibility,” says Erik van Schaik. “The Fuel Flexible Tug provides operators with the means to continue operating competitively at the present time, while being prepared to make the switch to a greener fuel in the future when it becomes possible and more viable, and when there is a clearer picture of which direction to take.”

BALTIMORE’S BRIDGE RELEASES DALI

As salvors made final preparations to refloat Dali from the wrecked Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published a preliminary report into the accident that claimed six lives.

On March 26, after losing electrical power and propulsion the container ship struck the southern pier of the bridge, part of which collapsed, including where portions of the deck and truss spans fell onto the vessel’s forward deck.

A warning from the ship allowed the bridge to be closed to traffic but six construction workers on the bridge at the time were lost in the accident.

Subsequent clearance operations included removing debris from the seabed to allow phased access to the port and trapped commercial traffic to be released.

Freeing Dali, which was pinned to the seabed, was a complex operation. Fifty-six of the 4,680 containers on board contained dangerous goods, 14 of which were forward of the superstructure and recorded as containing hazardous material. These were possibly damaged during the bridge’s collapse.

Responders included Resolve Marine as salvor and Marine Spill Response Corporation acting as oil spill responders, while USCG deployed its Atlantic Strike Team and Salvage Engineering Response Team. The US Army Corp of Engineers and US Navy Supervisor of Salvage and Diving were among many other agencies involved.

Salvage

While much of the wreckage was removed by floating cranes, a different approach was required for debris on Dali’s foredeck and explosives were used in a “controlled demolition” of the wreckage.

With confirmation that the demolition had gone as planned, the next stage prepared the vessel for removal from the site.

Refloating started roughly 18 hours in advance, the checklist including the release of some of the anchors and mooring lines attached to the Dali with tugs standing by; de-ballasting of part or all of the 1.25 million gallons of water pumped onto the vessel to compensate for weight removed during an earlier cutting operation; and a detailed inspection by dive teams confirming all obstructions had been removed from the vessel’s port side.

Once Dali was refloated on the rising tide and with assistance from the tugs Lynne Moran, Bridget McAllister, Eric McAllister, Vicki McAllister and Mark Moran and a plethora of smaller support craft in attendance, the vessel was moored alongside a local marine terminal, 2.5 miles away.

Preliminary report

A week earlier, NTSB published a preliminary report into the accident.

As well as a timeline of the incident, the report includes details of Dali’s machinery arrangements, in particular in relation to the vessel losing electrical and propulsion power prior to contacting the bridge.

The vessel was propelled by a single, slow-speed diesel engine directly connected to a single, right-turning propeller.

One of the four diesel generators was required to be operating and supplying electrical power to run the main

engine, the emergency generator alone unable to be used to restart or run the engines.

The main engine required compressed air to start and change direction (for going from ahead to astern power), and loss of electrical power to the lubricating oil or cooling water pumps, along with the alarm and other systems, would lead to automatic shutdown of the main engine.

The report describes in detail the high and low voltage electrical power distribution system and the sequence whereby two electrical breakers that fed most of Dali’s equipment, including the steering pumps, unexpectedly tripped, causing the first blackout.

A warning from the ship allowed the bridge to be closed to traffic but six construction workers on the bridge at the time were lost in the accident

The crew were able to restore power, but with the ship 0.2 miles from the bridge a second blackout occurred, and while power was restored again it was too late to prevent the allision with the bridge.

The report examines an electrical power loss the previous day and NTSB is investigating the electrical configuration in this blackout and potential impacts on the events in the accident voyage. Voyage Data Recorder and bridge audio recordings form part of the investigation, which included substance testing of the crew and pilots (all negative), and testing of the vessel’s fuels, which found no quality concerns.

8 Explosives were used to remove wreckage from Dali’s foredeck

DAMEN SEALS DEAL FOR THE MIDDLE EAST’S FIRST ELECTRIC TUG

Dutch shipbuilder Damen and AD Ports Group company SAFEEN have signed a contract that will herald the introduction of the Middle East’s first fully electric tug.

The vessel, an RSD-E Tug 2513 from Damen’s catalogue, is a fully electric variant of the standard version of this increasingly popular “Reversed Stern Drive” tug, of which more than 30 have been delivered.

Damen clearly has faith that the electric version of this design will attract customers and following the successful delivery of Sparky for Port of Auckland in 2022, an initial series production of six vessels was started on speculation. This first example, for SAFEEN Group, has departed from Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam for Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, where it will join other tugs in SAFEEN’s fleet.

Damen says the 25m, 70tbp tug is “capable of manoeuvring even the largest vessels” and can undertake two or more assignments before being recharged, which takes just two hours.

A feature of the shipyard’s overall package

to assist clients with their investments is its financing facilities and Damen Financial Services (DFS), a subsidiary of Damen Shipyards, is providing a leasing package to support the purchase.

The service enables owners to finance their transition to a more sustainable future and DFS recently acquired a second RSD-E Tug 2513, which is now available on a lease-to-own basis.

The contract for the new vessel was signed in Abu Dhabi by SAFEEN’s CEO Marine Services and general manager Capt. Adil Banihammad and Kommer Damen, chairman, Damen Shipyards.

The tug is being unveiled to the towage community at the International Tug & Salvage Convention, Exhibition & Awards in Dubai, after which it will commence operations in Khalifa Port handling container ships, car carriers and other vessels.

8 SAFEEN’s tug is a fully-electric version of Damen’s popular RSD Tug 2513 design

Initially it will operate in hybrid mode with Tier III compliant generators charging the batteries until shore-based charging facilities are established.

“We are delighted to be working with SAFEEN Group as they once again lead the way in setting new standards in sustainability in the Middle Eastern maritime community,” says Pascal Slingerland, Damen Shipyards regional sales director, Middle East.

Europe’s Leading Commercial Rib Charter Company

Dutch towing company Kotug has completed a test run for its Tug Drone project aimed at revolutionising how a towline connection is made between a tug and ship.

The test has been done in collaboration with aerial survey specialist Skeye.

Connecting a tug and tow traditionally involves a crew member on either vessel casting a heaving line, whereafter increasingly larger messenger lines are hauled aboard the assisted vessel until the towline itself is secured.

Rocket-propelled or pneumatic line throwers are used, for instance in deep sea salvage, but this brings its own risks and is impracticable for day-to-day ship-handling operations.

Using a heaving line requires tug and tow to be in very close proximity to each other, which is particularly hazardous for forward shiphandling tugs that keep pace with the ship close to its bow while under way.

Passing the line requires deck crew to be in the danger zone near the flared bow of the vessel, with risk of injury and damage to both tug and assisted vessel.

Kotug is well known for embracing innovation, and the Tug Drone project, whereby the initial line is transferred to a predetermined location by aerial means, aims

KOTUG TESTS DRONE

TOWLINE CONNECTION

to increase the distance between tug and tow, completing the operation in a more controlled way and reducing the risks.

The close proximity of the tug to the assisted vessel is a particularly dangerous part of the process, leaving little or no time to react in the event of the tug losing power or experiencing manoeuvring problems.

“With our innovative technology, the Tug Drone delivers the messenger line directly to the assisted ship, allowing the tug to sail

of in front

safely alongside rather than in front of the vessel,” says Kotug.

The trial involved transferring a line more than 400 metres from a tug to the helideck of Heerema’s crane vessel Thialf and vice versa. Kotug and Skeye are will embark on the first Tug Drone project in Guyana in Q3 2024.

Skeye has offices in Heinenoord, the Netherlands and Sittingbourne, UK and employs “high-end aerial imagery” providing offshore and onshore survey services.

WORLD’S FIRST LNG VOITH TRACTOR TUG LAUNCHED

Turkey’s Uzmar Shipyard has launched what vessel designer Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) describes as “the world’s first Voith-propelled tractor tug with LNG dual-fuel propulsion”.

The vessel is being built for Turkish petroleum pipeline corporation BOTAS.

With the increasing choice of options tug owners and operators now have when considering the type of fuel their new investments should adopt it is to be expected that there will be some ‘world firsts’ as new vessels appear.

With permutations of tug designs and configurations with series-built standard designs now common, the trend for individuality depending on the operating profile and location is natural.

This latest launch involves a combination of established Istanbul-based Uzmar Shipyard along with Canadian naval architect RAL, and will see the TRAktor V3900-DF tractor tug Sultanhani delivered to BOTAS later this year.

RAL is experienced in producing both Voith tractor tugs, where the propulsion units are located forward, and LNG dual-fuel tugs. RAL says the vessel “combines the excellent manoeuvrability and reliability of Voith propulsion in a greener envelope” where it can operate on either diesel oil or LNG.

This latest launch involves a combination of established Istanbul-based Uzmar Shipyard along with Canadian naval architect RAL, and will see the TRAktor V3900-DF tractor tug Sultanhani delivered to BOTAS later this year

Enhancements to Sultanhani’s green credentials are provided when operating on diesel oil alone with emissions reduced via an IMO Tier III after-treatment installation. With the forward location of the Voith units, the LNG tank hold is located aft of the engine room, providing separation of the gas system and any associated hazardous areas from the accommodation block.

Principal specifications for the vessel include an LOA of 39m on a moulded beam of 15m and moulded depth 6m. Power is derived from two 3,000kW (4,079hp) main engines. LNG capacity is stated as 40m3 and diesel oil capacity 164m3, with a predicted bollard pull of 80 tonnes.

RAL’s TRAktor design combines the previous AVT and AZT tractor tugs in one series design and is offered with either VSP (Voith) or Z-drive propulsion in tractor configurations. The Z-drive variants come in lengths from 24m to 37m, while the Voith-propelled versions vary from 28m to 42m.

RAmparts milestone

In separate but related news, RAL has experienced a double celebration, reporting that Hong Kong’s Cheoy Lee Shipyards has delivered its 50th example of RAL’s RAmparts 3200-CL ASD configured tug.

M.T. Joymoni has now been delivered to Mongla Port Authority, Bangladesh and represents “over a decade of evolution and refinement in tug design”, where over the years significant changes to rules and regulations have required updates to the design.

These changes include IMO MLC crew accommodation requirements, supporting structures in towing systems and towing stability criteria etc, and Cheoy Lee’s exclusive RAL design has kept pace with these developments and standards.

Ocean Pioneer, the first example of the RAmparts 3200-CL, was delivered to India’s Ocean Sparkle in 2011. The highprofile owners who have selected this particular RAL design include Svitzer, Boluda, SAAM, PSA, Kotug and Ocean Sparkle/Adani, providing global coverage in regions including Asia-Pacific, Africa, Europe, Middle East and North and South America.

As with most standard designs nowadays, the shallowdraught yet powerful (up to 85tbp) tug can be adapted to suit the customer’s specific preferences and has demonstrated flexibility for shiphandling, terminal towage, escorting and offshore support duties with all major engine manufacturers, Z-drive suppliers and deck machinery suppliers accommodated.

NEW MANAGERS FOR JENKINS MARINE VESSELS

UK-based Jenkins Marine has announced that two of its vessels are now under the commercial management of Ridderkerk, Netherlands-based ship management company Landfall Marine Contractors BV.

The two latest vessels to join Landfall’s managed fleet are Damen built – the twin-screw tug DMS Condor and Multi Cat 2611 workboat Wind Lass. Both will join Jenkins Marine’s large pontoon fleet, also under Landfall management.

Jenkins Marine’s diverse fleet of around 30 vessels, including dredgers, tugs, workboats, hopper barges, flat top barges and smaller support craft, provides solutions for marine construction projects.

Landfall Marine Contractors manages a fleet of similar vessels, including 15 tugs and workboats and nearly 30 flat top and hopper barges. Its managed vessels are mainly working throughout Europe, although their activities also include regions further afield: AIS data indicates the workboat Isle of Jura is currently in the Bay of Campeche, Mexico, while the EuroCarrier 2395 workboat Aurora Venture is at Dakar in Senegal.

I’m excited to be working with our new partners Landfall, who are very active within the workboat sector across Europe, for what I’m confident will be a long lasting and successful relationship

Jenkins says that with projects already being finalised through Landfall it is confident that this development is the start of a ‘successful relationship between two wellestablished and respected companies that will benefit both us and our clients’.

“I’m excited to be working with our new partners Landfall, who are very active within the workboat sector across Europe, for what I’m confident will be a long lasting and successful relationship,” said director Dan Jenkins.

Vessel details

Both vessels meet MCA Workboat Code Cat 1 requirements and UK-flagged, shallow-draught anchor-handling tug DMS Condor was built by Damen Hardinxveld (hull from Stocznia Kozle, Poland) in 2001 as Camperduin for Dutch owner Viegers en Zoon.

The tug has a length of 25.9m, beam 9m and minimum draught 2.2m. Twin Caterpillar 35088 main engines deliver 1,452kW (1,947bhp) and bollard pull 24 tons via twin fixedpitch propellers in nozzles. Deck machinery includes a 5.3t (maximum) lift Heila deck crane and 40 ton pull, split-drum Ridderinkhof towing/anchor-handling winch.

Fender provisions include arrangements for push bow operations and current AIS data indicates it is in Poole.

The Damen Multi Cat 2611 Wind Lass is a multipurpose workboat built by Damen Hardinxveld (hull from Safe Co Ltd,

Gdansk) in 2011. Originally named Whalsa Lass and later Aqua Lass for various Scottish interests, including in the fishing industry, it became part of Jenkins Marine’s fleet in mid-2023.

Basic specifications include a length of 26m and beam 11.5m with a minimum/maximum draught of 2.25m and 3.2m respectively.

Power is provided by three Caterpillar C32 ATT main engines developing 1,902kW (2,551bhp) in total and a bollard pull of 37 tons, and like DMS Condor it boasts a shallow draught, in this case partly due to its propulsion arrangement of triple fixed-pitch propellers in Optima nozzles.

Deck equipment specification is unsurprisingly extensive and includes two identical Heila deck cranes with a maximum lift of 12.3t at 15m.

A double-drum towing and anchor-handling winch with respectively 90t and 150t brake load and a tugger winch are included, along with the usual provision of towing pins, chain stopper, towing hook and bow and stern rollers.

Spud poles and an A-frame are also listed in the vessel’s specifications and Wind Lass is currently in Newport, Wales.

Sanmar has held a keel-laying ceremony to mark the latest stage in the construction of a large purpose-built dual fuel methanol escort tug that the vessel builder claims is the first of its type in the world.

The vessel is one of two being built for Kotug, the Netherlands-based operator.

Kotug executives attended the event in Turkey on May 8 and took part in the actual keel-laying process itself.

President & CEO Ard-Jan Kooren and corporate technical manager Marcel van Meel welded part of the keel during the ceremony.

Kotug has partnered the Canadian First Nation Sc’ianew from Beecher Bay, which is strategically located along the shipping route from Vancouver, to provide the service with the Sanmar-built tugs, which will be named SD Aisemaht and SD QWII-AAN’C Sarah

Based on the RAsalvor 4400-DFM design from Canadian naval architects Robert Allan, the two new tugs – the first Sanmar has built for Kotug – will service Canada’s Trans Mountain Expansion Project escorting tankers from the harbour limits of the Port of Vancouver to the open Pacific Ocean through the commercial shipping lanes of the Salish Sea.

Sanmar says the two tugs, which are due to be commissioned in 2025, will be the most

powerful escort tugs in Canada, capable of 120 tonnes of bollard pull each.

“We were delighted to have these honoured guests join us to mark reaching another milestone in this important project,” said Sanmar boss Ali Gürün. “Alternative fuels and propulsion systems are a major way ahead for our industry on its transformation journey to sustainable low and no emissions

future. We are proud to be at the forefront of this change.”

“We are thrilled to collaborate on this ground-breaking project that not only transforms the maritime sector but also plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability in the shipping industry,” said Ard-Jan Kooren, president & CEO of KOTUG International.

Eleven tugs have been transported on one vessel from Asia to Europe in a rare major logistical operation that was all Dutch in achievement.

Dutch firm BigLift Shipping deployed its 156m heavy-lift vessel Happy Star to transport the 11 Damen tugs, with two heavy-lift mast cranes weighing 1,100 tonnes each on board.

On April 4, Happy Star set sail from Damen’s shipyard in Halong Bay in Vietnam for Europe., and arrived in Vigo, Spain just 38 days later. One vessel was unloaded there before she continued to Rotterdam to unload the remaining 10 on May 19.

Happy Star can lift up to 2,200 mt in tandem lift, with a lifting height of nearly 47m above the main deck. With a weather deck extending over the full width of the vessel, her load space can be used to the utmost and shen can sail with open weather deck hatches on a draught of up to 8m. The vessel has Finnish/ Swedish 1A Ice Class notation.

“These mass deliveries do not take place often as it is rare that so many vessels are ready to be despatched at the same time,” said Damen Services Heavylift coordinator Rimmert Berlijn. “The last such event occurred in 2015 when Happy Star transported 22 vessels of various types on the same route.

ELEVEN TUGS TRANSPORTED ON ONE VESSEL

“However, this brings advantages including the vessels and their equipment arriving in pristine condition. The marine environment benefits from fewer emissions with just one ship, albeit a larger one, doing all the work. These outcomes align with Damen’s

commitment to sustainability.”

Damen says that while such voyages usually require six months to plan and organise, this one was prepared and carried out in less than two months, thanks to each stage being executed on time.

WÄRTSILÄ LAUNCHES PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR TUGS & FERRIES

Wärtsilä has launched a high-performance thruster and propulsion package for tugs, offshore vessels and ferries.

The package is a combination of Wärtsilä’s WST-E embedded electric steerable thruster and WST-R retractable thrusters, together with an updated remote propulsion control system featuring an enhanced user interface.

ProTouch brings more accuracy and reliability to dynamic positioning (DP) operations, Wärtsilä says. The system features retractable thrusters with an 8-degree tilted propeller shaft that can also be offered as an option for the main steerable thruster, depending on vessel layout, Wärtsilä says.

“This significantly reduces losses in the interaction between the thrusters and hull, and between thrusters, thus delivering the highest effective thrust,” the company says. “The effective thrust is increased by up to 15 to 20% compared to non-tilted thrusters, meaning less installed power is needed for the same DP capability. This makes the unit more efficient, thereby reducing emissions and fuel consumption.”

It is vital for that the vessels these thrusters have been designed for have a rapid thrust response, and if the DP capability needs it, the main thrusters are prepared to deliver faster steering speed and power ramping to ensure a quick response.

“For offshore vessel operators, safe and reliable station keeping is essential,” said Lauri Tiainen, director of Thrusters & Propulsion Control Systems at Wärtsilä Marine. “With this optimised thruster and control solution, Wärtsilä offers a DP capability solution that meets all required standards with a marked improvement in efficiency. This saves time, reduces costs, and enables an important contribution to decarbonising vessel operations.”

The technology comprises three elements: the new Wärtsilä WST-E embedded electric steerable thruster, three new Wärtsilä WST-R retractable thrusters – WST-09R, WST-14R and WST-18R – and the updated Wärtsilä ProTouch Remote Propulsion Control System user interface.

Wärtsilä also has its transverse thrusters available for inclusion in the package.

The main thrusters have a compact design with an embedded electric motor in an L-drive configuration. This requires less space than regular L-drive thrusters, allowing these units to be fitted below a working or car deck. More generally, the new units fit into a space where typically Z-drive thrusters have been used. With the new WST-E solution, energy efficiency is enhanced, and the system is simplified.

SVITZER COMPLETES BRAZIL TUG SERIES

Danish towage provider Svitzer has taken delivery of the final vessel in a series of six tugs intended to boost towage work in Brazil.

With globally operated ship-handling tug fleets mostly in the hands of a small number of companies operating large fleets of vessels, usually under local ownership with local management and crews, Svitzer is among the largest with around 345 vessels and 4,000 staff working in 141 ports and 40 terminals.

The local connection has continued with delivery of Svitzer Babitonga by Brazil’s Estaleiro Rio Maguari shipyard. Built to Robert Allan’s popular RAmparts 2300 design, it is the last of a series of six RAL tugs for Svitzer from Rio Maguari and follows Svitzer Atanasio, Svitzer Arthur, Svitzer Jorge G, Svitzer Monte K.T. and Svitzer Rocha Pedro, all delivered by 2024.

The vessel is built to support harbour towage along the Brazilian coast and LNG operations, Arjen Van Dijk, managing director, Svitzer Americas said. SvitzerBabitonga is 23.2m in length and provides a bollard pull of 70t and speed 13kn, “reinforcing Svitzer’s role in safeguarding the Brazilian coast as the country’s energy landscape evolves”.

Svitzer is managing its day-to-day activities alongside its delisting from Maersk. The move was confirmed in April at an Extraordinary General Meeting in Copenhagen of shareholders in A.P. Møller - Mærsk (APMM).

APMM injected 100% of its shares in Svitzer, including subsidiaries, to new company Svitzer Group, ending 45 years of APMM ownership.

"Every three to four minutes, somewhere in the world a ship relies on Svitzer for safe and

reliable towage – be it in a busy harbour port, or essential terminal operation, said CEO Kasper Friis Nilau. We know our strength is based on the support of our valued customers and the expertise and professionalism of our people, and this moment is a testament to their contribution in our company’s strength today.”

SALVORS SORT GROUNDINGS, FIRES AND BREAKDOWNS

Europe’s marine salvors have reported a busy start to 2024, dealing with ship groundings, fires and engine breakdowns along with minimising pollution from plastic pellets washing ashore in Spain.

Tsavliris is a well-established global salvage contractor and the Piraeus-based company was tasked when the bulk carrier Shoveler, laden with 28,000t of wheat, suffered an engine room fire some 55 miles southwest of Puerto Rico while on passage from Canada to Venezuela. The 85tbp tug Plip Fos mobilised from Martinique and established a towing connection, the convoy arriving safely at Caracas Bay a week after the initial alert.

Late in 2023, another bulk carrier, the Gazibey laden with 9,900t of potassium chloride granulated fertiliser encountered main engine failure in adverse weather conditions around 60 miles off Falmouth, UK.

Tsavliris despatched the 312tbp tug ALP Striker to assist and the vessel was towed to a sheltered position in Falmouth Bay, where it remained under towage connection for several days until the engine problems were rectified.

Following trials, escorted by the tug, Gazibey’s passage to Bayonne, France continued with towage, escort and standby services provided by ALP Striker. The following day the ship was safely berthed at Bayonne, the operation completed 11 days after the initial call.

Rapid response

A rapid response by Multraship Salvage and URS Nederland resolved a potentially complicated situation when the fishing vessel Cindy VLI 25 ran aground at high tide on the easterly breakwater of the Outer Harbour at Flushing.

Tugs VB Triumphante,Multratug 9 and Multratug 22 responded and a tow line was quickly established with the vessel refloated and escorted back to the Outer Harbour, where it was safely berthed.

Global coverage of the Netherlands-based Smit Salvage was evident in a period when it responded to four different incidents.

A potentially serious pollution threat arose when a laden 317,713dwt VLCC grounded on a reef on the Indonesian side of the Singapore Strait. No hull damage was reported but uncontrolled vessel momentum due to tidal change presented the risk of a breached hull, and Smit despatched a salvage team from its Singapore response centre.

Four days later the vessel was refloated by three local partner tugs and redelivered to its owners at a nearby anchorage.

Vessels grounding in Argentina’s Parana River are not unusual and Smit responded when a bulk carrier partially laden with wheat suffered such a fate. A salvage team and tug were mobilised and after an initial refloating attempt failed, two additional tugs were called in and the bulk carrier was refloated after 48 hours.

In the same month, a backhoe dredger started to capsize off Algiers and Smit was contracted to remove pollutants from the vessel with support from fellow ISU member Multraship. At the time of writing Smit was making preparations to salvage the vessel.

Meanwhile in Borneo, Malaysia a large team of Smit

Plastic pellet pollution

Spanish Ardentia Marine’s salvage activities include exclusive suppliers of marine emergency response services for the country’s Salvamento Maritimo (SASEMAR), and its expertise was called for in responding to a plastic pellet spill originating from a shipping container that had reached the shores of Galicia.

The response included mobilising teams to monitor beach conditions and facilitating recovery of the pellets.

Ardentia also reported providing comprehensive oil spill prevention services for major Spanish clients including more than 3,000m of oil boom as well as multi-skimmers and oil transfer services.

Athens-based Five Oceans Salvage (FOS) was established in 2006 and says it is “the offspring of a visionary team of specialists who bring together over a century of combined experience with solid know-how and innovative ideas”.

As with other salvors, its operations are worldwide and it was recently tasked when the 63,000dwt bulk carrier Steel C grounded while in ballast condition off Nueva Palmira in Uruguay. Demonstrating that expertise is as important as having the appropriate hardware, FOS mobilised a local salvage master as first response along with a local tug, while a senior salvage master and a salvage team mobilised from Athens.

After submitting the relevant plans and documentation needed for obtaining the salvage permit without delay and after the team from Greece arrived the following day, Steel C was successfully refloated.

Dundee, UK-based Targe Towing is increasing its Sanmar-built tug fleet to eight vessels with the arrival of a powerful Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) designed vessel built to withstand the harshest conditions in Scottish waters.

The vessel, Camperdown, was built to a RAL RAstar 2900SX ASD design.

The vessel is primarily intended for demanding escort operations in exposed areas where exceptional seakeeping capabilities are crucial.

Specifications for Camperdown include a LOA of 29.4m and a breadth of 13.3m, moulded depth 5.5m and design draught 5.75m. It has a bollard pull of 85 tonnes both ahead and astern, and its escort towing and seakeeping performance is enhanced by its “unique” sponsoned hull form. The vessel delivers a free running speed of 13kn.

It meets fifi1 notation and has a dispersant and spraying system. Various towing modes are catered for with towing winches both forward and aft. Indicating it will be more than just a shiphandling tug, it has accommodation for eight persons.

Targe’s fleet list indicates it has 10 vessels, not including Camperdown, of which seven are Sanmar vessels. The TRAktor Z2500SX Balmerino was delivered in 2023 with the line

A tug fleet claimed by its operator to be ‘the greenest in the world’ is now complete, with the delivery of five Sanmar-built tugs to Canada.

HaiSea Marine, a joint venture between shipyard owner and builder Seaspan and the indigenous Haisla Nation in Kitimat, British Columbia, will operate the tugs.

Two of them are large LNG-fuelled RAstar 4000-DF escort tugs with 100 tonnes bollard pull, and these will escort LNG carriers from a production facility in the Douglas Channel to port, 159nm away.

At port, operations will be taken over by the other three tugs, which are smaller, fully electric vessels also under the Robert Allan design – the ElectRA 2801, 2802 and 2803.

The two LNG-fuelled tugs were named HaiSea Kermode and Warrior at the launch in Turkey in March 2023, which Maritime Journal editor Debbie Mason attended.

The three electric tugs were launched at the same time and named Haisea Wamis, Wee’git and Brave, also following the trend of giving them local names.

“What was just a dream a few short years ago, the greenest fleet in the world is now complete,” says Haisea Marine.

ICE PROBLEMS SOLVED FOR TUGS IN WINTER

Finnish tug owner Alfons Håkans and propulsion manufacturer Steerprop have devised an innovative way of coping with a typical Baltic Sea hazard – crushed ice in the propulsion unit during winter months.

What started as a project to replace the thrusters in its 44-year-old tug Artemis led to a wider rethink on how to deal with the changing seasons, and how tugs have to adapt when operating in winter ice conditions.

In 2021, various options were considered for replacing the tug’s propulsion units, which were nearing the end of their life cycle.

A major overhaul would be costly and time consuming and the alternative was for new propulsion units as a retrofit.

The owner was also keen to upgrade the thrusters to models with a slipping clutch, something the original thrusters lacked, making manoeuvring ‘sometimes demanding, especially in small harbour basins’.

Håkans had already been in contact with Finland-based Steerprop, who had modernised and upgraded the control system on Artemis, so it was natural to involve them in a propulsion unit retrofit.

Dealing with ice

Tuomas Raumanen, Håkans technical manager, then considered if Steerprop’s work could include addressing the persistent problem faced by tugs during the winter, of nozzles getting jammed with crushed ice and dramatically reducing propulsion performance. Emptying the ice from the nozzles is also a time-consuming job.

Raumanen challenged Steerprop’s design team to come up with a more mobile system instead of welded-in nozzles, so they could be removed in winter season and replaced in spring and summer.

Nozzles filling with crushed ice is potentially a very serious safety issue, not to mention the drop in performance level. We were eager to tackle this challenge ‘‘

Juho Rekola, director, Sales and Project Management at Steerprop, says the design team immediately saw the value in the idea.

“Nozzles filling with crushed ice is potentially a very serious safety issue, not to mention the drop in performance level. We were eager to tackle this challenge.” Rekola said.

The upshot was that instead of welding, the nozzles were bolted in place with two options for carrying out the procedure emerging, whether to do it in drydock or in an operation carried out under water with Artemis still afloat.

It was estimated that carrying out the nozzle change in drydock would take four to five days, although such an operation would involve extra time and expenses, for example reserving and getting the vessel to an available drydock.

Calling in the divers Håkans couldn’t however know in advance how long the procedure would take if carried out under water, so Raumanen contacted Finnish family-owned DG-Diving Group, who were experienced in demanding projects and said they were confident they could ‘get it done’.

The moment of truth arrived at the end of February 2024, when Steerprop’s professionals were in place to install the new propulsion units and it was time to remove the nozzles and replace the seasonal propellers.

Carried out in freezing cold conditions, the procedure was expected to take time, but everyone was “pleasantly surprised” when the diving team completed the task in just four days.

“The Steerprop technician remarked that most dry docks couldn’t move that fast,” said Raumanen.

“And think of the conditions: for example, managing 10mm nuts with your bare hands in the Baltic Sea in February is not for everybody.”

He gave credit to the diving team, which numbered two to three divers depending on the work phase.

Steerprop’s Juho Rekola said the divers really did the “heavy lifting”, making it possible to pursue a wild idea to its fruition.

“The collaboration in this project was outstanding throughout,” Rekola said.

The final judgement of course was with the end result, and feedback from Artemis was positive, with the operability of the propulsion unit remaining ‘solid’.

The ‘nozzle on, nozzle off’ concept is now included in the retrofit scope of another Alfons Håkans vessel, the tug Apollon, which will be fitted the same way, says Raumanen, hailing Steerprop’s ability to think outside the box.

“We’re happy to expand on a winning concept,” Raumanen said.

MAJOR OSW MILESTONE HIT AS CANADA, US LOOK POSITIVE

A milestone has been reached at Ørsted and Eversource’s first US offshore wind farm, with the first XXL monopile foundation installed.

The monopile is the first of 66 earmarked for Revolution Wind, an offshore wind project led by Ørsted and Eversource at Rhode Island and Connecticut. It is the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in the area and the first multi-state project in the US.

Revolution Wind should have a power generation capacity of 704MW, which means the turbines will each be about 11MW – not today’s largest, but much bigger than those of just 10 years ago. The electricity supply will be divided between the two states.

Marine contractor Boskalis’ crane vessel Bokalift 2, a 4,000t offshore construction built by Harland & Wolff in 2000 and converted in 2020, is 231 metres in length with a width of 49 metres.

Boskalis’ other vessel, Bokalift 1, a slightly smaller 3,000t vessel, will install the secondary steel elements in and around the foundations, Boskalis says. The company’s semisubmersible heavy transport vessels will take the monopiles to the site.

Ørsted’s David Hardy said the project was important in scaling up America’s offshore wind industry, with the ability to generate more power than previous projects combined.

Positive signs across the Pond

Despite some reluctance to offshore wind in the United States, this project has received strong support from federal representatives, who see it as a critical component of the clean energy infrastructure, reducing long-term energy costs and emissions, and enhancing energy independence.

In a recent statement, consultancy Intelatus Global Partners also said ’the fundamentals are looking surprisingly positive in the context of what has taken place over the last 12 months’.

“In fact,” said Philip Lewis, at Intelatus, “the key concern for developers and the supply chain will be any negative impacts to offshore wind development arising from the forthcoming presidential elections.”

Lewis said the optimism could be seen with federal plans to offer leases this year with a minimum of 22GW in 16 sites in the Central Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Maine and Oregon.

“Recent activity translates to more than 70 imminent, short term, mediumterm, longerterm and future projects in our forecast which represent a CAPEX opportunity of more than $420 billion and an annual recurring operations and maintenance OPEX of around $9.8 billion,” he said.

In New York, three projects that were cancelled some months ago look likely to be revived after a new offshore wind solicitation for 2.6GW was released by the state in May, and other states including New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware were making moves in a similar direction.

The picture was also rosier in Canada, he said, where the province of Newfoundland and Labrador had identified 77 wind licensing areas with a theoretical potential of 94.5GW, including bottom-fixed and floating sites.

Nova Scotia has identified six potential offshore wind development areas, all no closer than 25 kilometres from shore, for future study for offshore wind development,” Lewis said. “The theoretical potential of the areas amounts to more than 34.5 GW. The six sites contain both bottom-fixed and floating wind potential.”

Revolution Wind’s construction involves three New England ports: New London, Connecticut for turbine components; Providence, Rhode Island for foundation components; and Quonset Point for crew operations. The project is expected to be operational by 2025.

HEAVYWEIGHTS SET UP JV FOR FLOATING WIND

Ørsted, Simply Blue Group and Subsea7 have set up the joint venture ‘Salamander’ to submit an application for a floating wind farm off the coast of northeast Scotland.

In what appears to be a growing trend, the floating wind farm will be used to supply power to oil and gas platforms in the North Sea.

At 100MW generation capacity it will not be a large wind farm, but the JV is calling it a stepping stone in what it calls the UK’s ‘journey to net zero’.

“Crucially, Salamander will give the Scottish floating wind supply chain a major early capability development opportunity, supporting its scale-up ahead of the pipeline of projects leased under the ScotWind and INTOG (Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas) seabed leasing rounds,” said the JV.

We have submitted a high-quality, thorough consent application and we’re committed to continue working with the necessary stakeholders

The INTOG round awarded exclusivity agreements to two types of projects – small scale innovation projects of less than 100 MW, and larger projects aiming to decarbonise oil and gas infrastructure. Salamander bid for and won an Exclusivity Agreement under the innovation category.

“We have submitted a high-quality, thorough consent application and we’re committed to continue working with the necessary stakeholders throughout the approval process,” said Hugh Yendole, project director for Salamander.

“Ambitious targets from the Scottish and UK governments are not yet complemented by the infrastructure and supply chain required to deliver the floating wind pipeline in the UK. The delivery of Salamander is critical for industry investment in local ports and indigenous technologies.”

No details of the floating wind technology were given.

Cadeler wins major offshore wind deal

UK-based construction firm, Cadeler has inked the largest deal in the company’s history for wind farm installation projects.

If all options with the undisclosed client come to fruition during the four-year agreement, Cadeler stands to benefit to the tune of between €400 million and €700 million.

The project is slated to begin in 2027 and will involve one or more vessels from Cadeler’s fleet including a newbuild A Class vessel currently under construction.

“Our new vessel reservation agreement highlights the crucial role of timely and ambitious vessel reservation strategies and

fleet flexibility to meet the fast-growing needs of offshore wind projects worldwide,” said Mikkel Gleerup, chief executive of Cadeler.

“Cadeler remains committed to accompanying our clients’ needs with innovative solutions and unparalleled service, ensuring the realisation of their renewable energy project within budget and on time.”

Cadeler’s fleet of vessels for offshore wind farm installation projects will be used for transport and installation of both foundations and wind turbine generators.

The deal relies on the successful outcome for the client in an upcoming 2024 auction.

Finnish offshore win operator Suomen Hyötytuuli is planning to expand its current Tahkoluoto site by 40 turbines, it says.

Believed to be the first offshore wind farm in frozen sea conditions, Tahkoluoto consists of 11 turbines, 80-90 metres high, with a blade diameter of 101-103 metres. Each generates between 2.3MW and 4.2MW.

Kicking off with a demonstration project that will see two turbines installed to pilot larger scale turbines, the ultimate aim is to install 40 of them, each with a generation capacity of more than 15MW – much bigger than the existing 11.

Water and building permits have already been granted for the demonstration project, which is 4-22 kilometres off the coast of Pori in western Finland. They will be installed with a foundation concept specifically for deep waters – 15-45 metres – in the frozen water conditions.

The demonstration project has received a grant of €30 million from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment in Finland, and will use comprehensive environmental analyses, Suomen Hyötytuuli says.

The demonstration project will be built by 2026, with the 40 turbines due to be installed from 2027 to 2029.

A Vard Design-led consortium says batteries are the proven technology for the future’s vessels now that offshore charging is a proven concept.

Working with sister companies Seaonics and Vard Electro, partners Rem Offshore, Solstad Offshore, SINTEF Energi, SINTEF Ocean, DigiCat, Sustainable Energy, Equinor, Source Galileo Norge, Corvus Energy, Plug, Shoreline, Norwegian Offshore Wind Cluster, University of Bergen, NORCE and Maritime CleanTech, the consortium says it has proved that its Ocean Charger can power operations at a wind farm without using any additional energy sources.

“Charging tests have been done in port with high voltage charging of the ship`s batteries,” says Vard. “Testing has also been done of the Ocean Charger offshore connection solution and we have demonstrated successfully that we can connect and disconnect the cable under certain conditions.

“In the coming years, a substantial new maritime infrastructure will be developed and built for the offshore wind industry in Norway. Based on the development for other segments, batteries have proven to be the most mature technology for zero or lowemission vessels. This technology is the basis

POLISH 1.4GW WIND FARMS TO BEGIN INSTALLATION

Installation will begin on Poland’s first two offshore wind farms this year, owners Equinor and Polenergia have confirmed.

The Baltyk II and Baltyk III projects should have a power generation capacity of 1,440MW and supply around two million households, the firms say.

By 2040, the plan is to have 18GW of offshore windgenerated capacity in Poland.

The service base at Łeba will be built on the site of a former shipyard and a remote control centre for the wind farms will of course be included in the construction.

A new quay for all the vessels required will also be needed for them to moor up at Łeba.

The signed contract is further proof of the advancement of the projects we are developing together. Our offshore projects are some of the largest wind farms that are being built in this part of Europe

Development and engineering of the monopile foundations will be done for both wind farms by Danish firm Rambøll, an architecture, engineering and consulting company with experience in offshore wind farms.

“This is another milestone for our offshore wind projects, which are expected to supply renewable energy to the Polish power grid as early as 2027,” said Michał Jerzy Kołodziejczyk, Equinor country manager for Poland. “As one of the first developers in the Baltic Sea, our wind farms will significantly contribute to Poland’s energy security. We are pleased to be able to actively participate in our country’s energy transition.”

“The construction and commissioning of our wind farms in the Baltic Sea is fast approaching,” said Jerzy Zan, CEO of Polenergia. “The signed contract is further proof of the advancement of the projects we are developing together. Our offshore projects are some of the largest wind farms that are being built in this part of Europe.”

First power from the Bałtyk II and III wind farms could be delivered into the grid as early as 2027, and the commercial phase of their operation is planned from 2028.

The next phase of offshore wind power development in Poland from Equinor and Polenergia is the Bałtyk I offshore wind farm, with a capacity of up to 1560 MW, around 80 km from shore.

Denmark opens landmark €14 billion offshore wind process

Denmark is pushing the boat out when it comes to offshore wind with a 6GW procurement process launched this week.

The procedure calls for tenders across six sites in four areas – 3GW in the North Sea; 1GW in the Kattegat; 1GW in Kriegers Flak II; and up to 1.2GW in Hesselø. The Danish government will take a 20% stake in all projects.

“We’re delighted to announce the largest offshore wind procurement procedure in

Denmark to date,” said Kristoffer Böttzauw, director general at the Danish Energy Agency. “This is a massive investment in the green transition.”

The 6GW is just a guideline: tenderers are encouraged to ‘overplant’, ie install enough wind turbines to reach a capacity of 10GW or more, the energy agency says.

“This can potentially mean green electricity corresponding to the

consumption of more than 10 million Danish and European households, although the green electricity could also be used for hydrogen or other Power-to-X products to replace fossil fuels,” the agency says.

Once achieved, the power generation capacity will dwarf Denmark’s current 2.7GW offshore wind power capacity, added to which a further 1GW is being installed at the Thor Offshore Wind Farm, also in the North Sea.

Floating offshore wind project Green Volt, led by Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn, has been granted offshore planning approval.

With onshore consent announced earlier this month, Green Volt has now received all its planning approvals and remains on track to be the first commercial-scale offshore windfarm in Europe.

“It is fantastic to have received the green light to deliver the world’s biggest floating offshore wind project, right here in the Scottish North Sea. This major milestone places Flotation Energy and our Joint Venture Partner, Vårgrønn, firmly at the heart of the energy transition,” said Nicol Stephen, CEO at Flotation Energy.

“Green Volt is of international significance, placing Scotland at the leading edge of a new floating wind sector. This multi-billion pound development can now move forward confidently, creating hundreds of local jobs and proving that the UK and Scottish supply chain is ready to deliver commercial scale floating projects, at pace.

BW IDEOL UNVEILS FLOATING PLATFORM MASS PRODUCTION

The floating platform for offshore wind developed by French company BW Ideol over the past few years has been standardised and will go into mass production in what the company calls its ’new market approach’.

The approach was unveiled to a panel of utilities and partners at a recent event in Marseille, where the company said its plans were in line with the phase of industrialisation that was happening in the sector, with 22GW awarded in Scotland, 8GW in the US and more awarded or inviting tenders elsewhere.

Essentially it means that BW Ideol would identify suitable ports and install its manufacturing production line there –from where it could produce one floating foundation a week, said Salomé Roussy, communications officer at BW Ideol.

“A single production line can support several projects within the same area,” Roussy said.

“For instance, BW Ideol has already secured strategic access to the Port of Ardersier in Scotland. This production line could supply floating foundations for all of Scotland.

“Similarly, in the Mediterranean, BW Ideol is conducting a feasibility study with the Port of Fos-sur-Mer. A production line in Fos-sur-Mer could supply floating foundations for the entire Mediterranean Sea.

“Thanks to minimal requirements for port infrastructure (shallow draft for construction, small acreage, etc.), each port will be able to replicate the platform using the same blueprint.

“Floating foundations will be placed in the sea using a load-out barge and then towed to their final destination.”

Concrete used to make the platforms will be produced locally from aggregates derived from nearby quarries, she said.

The floating foundation is optimised for all meteocean conditions prevailing on the main floating wind markets (with

three product classes adapted to different environmental conditions) and compatible with all 15MW+ wind turbines currently available, the company says.

The Damping Pool developed and patented by BW Ideol has dimensions of 54x54 metres and a shallow draft of 12 metres while in operation.

It is a square foundation with a central opening that contains the sloshing water to counter swell-induced floater oscillations.

Mooring lines are attached to the seabed to hold it in position, and BW Ideol says the foundation’s design means it can cope with the most severe weather and ocean events.

“The Ideol floating structure was designed for a minimum lifespan of 25 years, but all foundation elements have been designed for extreme events with return periods ranging from 50 to 200 years,” it says.

“The floating wind market is at a crossroads today: tens of gigawatts will need to be built in the coming years, requiring a change in paradigm from the floating foundation suppliers,” said Paul de la Guérivière, founder and CEO of BW Ideol.

“We believe that adopting an approach similar to that of wind turbine manufacturers is necessary: offering a single and standard product, suitable for all geographies and turbines available on the market, produced in series based on manufacturing line serving multiple projects, so that developers can truly commit and know where they are heading.”

Maritime Journal contacted BW Ideol for further details of the mass production strategy, but at the time of writing had not received a response.

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.

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.

We hope that this partnership raises awareness of the amazing work that these hospital ships and their volunteers crew achieve.” Each year, more than 3,000 volunteers from over 60 countries serve on board the world’s two largest civilian hospital ships and only 50% of these are medics. Mercy Ships are currently urgently recruiting maritime officers, as well engineers and hospital support services.

Using our bypass filters on the lubrication system will extend lubricating oil life three or four-fold and significantly reduce maintenance costs. Using our in-line fuel filters we will dry the fuel out, eliminating all bacteria and improve combustion. The cleaner fuel will improve economy and reduce wear on injectors and valves. On hydraulic systems including thrusters and azimuth drives, Micfil filters will remove all condensation and particulates increasing the life of the oil and reducing wear on the system. Westford Services distributes Micfil Ultra Fine Filters in the UK and are agents for AP Diesels and also distributors for Hydrovac Oil Purification.

ADDENDUM

Swedish utility Vattenfall has just announced it will enter a bid for the Alpha and Beta offshore wind farms that make up the Dutch IJmuiden Ver offshore wind tender.

The announcement came just days after the company announced it had sold the ’Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone’ off the east coast of England to energy company RWE for £963 million (€1.1 billion).

In July 2023, Vattenfall said it was pulling out of the Norfolk site, recording a loss of €480 million.

The Norfolk Boreas wind farm, which was designed to have a generating capacity of 1.4GW, was to have been installed 72km off the Norfolk coast and would have comprised 100 turbines with tip-to-tip blade length of 236 metres by Siemens-Gamesa.

Managing director Johnathan Reynolds, of Norfolk-headquartered clean energy consultancy Opergy, said higher inflation and capital costs, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties and a lack of political incentives, ‘have made offshore wind and its supply chain particularly vulnerable’.

“The reported cost increases of up to 40% are a clear indicator of the growing pressures that developers and investors face in this industry,” he said.

VATTENFALL MIXES OFFSHORE WIND MESSAGES

With the latest intention to bid, Vattenfall appears to have regained confidence in the sector.

The bids are registered under the name Zeevonk, which means ‘sea sparkle’ in Dutch and refers to a particular kind of sea plankton that illulminates the sea so that the water glows in a bright blue colour, even in the dark.

The Alpha and Beta sites each has 2GW of generating capacity but will be slightly different in that plans for Alpha ’will focus on biodiversity criteria’, while Beta ‘is focued on system integration’.

Responding to Martiime Journal’s requests for comment, a Vattenfall spokesperson said:

“We’ve built a strong offshore business and want to drive fossil freedom by making responsible investment decisions as an integrated energy company.

"The decision to divest the Norfolk projects will allow us to invest in renewable projects that better fit our portfolio and risk appetite. We have 4.4GW under operation in offshore wind and we will continue to develop large-scale offshore wind projects in our portfolio across our markets.

“Offshore wind is essential to the energy transition and Vattenfall believes in the competitiveness of this technology long term. Vattenfall is dedicated to being a leader in the energy transition by making sound investments that optimise this journey in challenging market conditions. We will contribute to getting the offshore wind industry back on a healthy and profitable track with investments where there is a risk/reward profile that matches our requirements.”

UNLOCKING OFFSHORE WIND POTENTIAL: FUGRO

The offshore wind industry stands at a critical juncture, expected to achieve increasingly bold clean energy targets whilst continuing to build stable supply chains with the necessary capacity, efficiency and cost effectiveness to deliver, says Fugro global director Offshore Wind Brian Bell.

The industry is still relatively young but is rapidly having to address a wide range of planning, development and construction challenges that must be overcome if our global clean energy ambitions are to be met.

Dealing with rising costs

Business cases for large civil infrastructure projects are finely balanced, and offshore wind is no different. It is widely reported that wind farm development costs have risen by up to 40% over the past two years, causing many projects to be reassessed and paused or even abandoned due to a lack of financial viability. In particular, increases in raw material prices such as steel, copper and rare earth elements have impacted the cost of primary components such as turbines, foundations and cables, which together represent 60-70% of total wind farm costs.

For a wind farm to recover these initial costs and deliver a suitable return on investment, it must operate reliably for several decades. As with development and capital expenditure, it is an equal challenge to ensure that operational expenditure budgets – another 15-20% of total costs – are sufficient for the competing demands of inspection and maintenance, but without jeopardising operational or financial performance.

Looking ahead, a key priority for the industry will be proactively working together to mitigate the impact of these pressures and embracing opportunities for technology to support a downward cost trajectory – from intelligent data insights and informed decision-making to standardisation and scalability. A renewed focus on long-term planning, early engagement and innovation will help to address current inflationary challenges and encourage growth in emerging sectors such as floating wind.

Supply chain issues

The supply chain for much – if not all – of the offshore wind sector currently faces similar pressures to developers and operators. Suppliers have their own supply chains, which have been affected by inflationary cost increases, component shortages and schedule conflicts. They also face similar financing challenges concerning the rising cost of capital, increasing market uncertainty and the need to spend wisely to generate suitable returns on investment.

of all participants – empathy, trust and grit can become catalysts for success.

Ambitious targets

According to ClimateWatch, as much as three-quarters of global emissions come from energy production. To reduce this impact and help meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement it is estimated that between 2030 and 2050, we need to add 70GW of offshore capacity every year, equating to anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 turbines every year for 20 years, based upon foreseeable turbine sizes.

Floating wind is expected to become a significant contributor to this ambition, because it allows us to develop wind farms in deep water areas that are unsuitable for fixedbottom structures.

Although floating wind farms currently represent less than 0.5GW of installed capacity, industry sources such as the Global Wind Energy Council estimate that 5 to 8GW could be online by 2030 and 250 GW by 2050.

A renewed emphasis on building more trust-based relationships could alleviate these issues. As the industry matures and explores new territories, technologies and financial models, we will likely see stakeholders increasingly recognising the value of building shared knowledge and experience without the imposition of prescriptive or one-sided requirements.

The prospect of floating wind becoming mainstream involves a steep learning curve with many engineering challenges yet to be resolved, but the performance of numerous demonstrator sites shows huge potential, and the determination of everyone involved is encouraging.

Rising costs, supply chain struggles and ambitious targets are major challenges for the shore wind industry – but they can all be overcome with the right skills and relationships.

Potentially the largest offshore wind farm in the US, Sunrise Wind, has been given the go-ahead by the BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management), clearing one of the obstacles to development.

Developers Ørsted and Eversource said they had taken a Final Investment Decision on the Sunrise Wind project, which is designed to deliver 924MW to the state of New York.

They will now begin onshore construction activities, they said, as agreements to finalise the project with NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) are negotiated.

“Offshore wind continues to soar in New York,” said US Senator Charles E. Schumer.

“Today’s announcement that Sunrise Wind has flown through another critical milestone, combined with the recent announcement that South Fork Wind is officially online, shows that the sky is the limit for offshore wind.

“Sunrise Wind will change the energy landscape in New York. Supporting projects like Sunrise is exactly why I fought so hard to pass the Inflation Reduction Act last Congress, and I remain committed to working closely with New York and the Biden administration to uplift offshore wind.”

The wind farm will be 30 miles east of

SUNRISE OVER NEW YORK FOR OFFSHORE WIND

Montauk, New York State, and Is projected as having the capacity to power 900,000 homes.

“These milestones achieved by Ørsted and Eversource on the heels of South Fork Wind entering full operation demonstrate New York’s leadership in building the US offshore wind industry with Sunrise Wind and future projects on their way to generating clean wind

energy to power the grid,” said Doreen M. Harris, president and CEO at NYSERDA.

Ørsted has agreed to buy Eversource’s 50% ownership share in Sunrise Wind, becoming the project’s sole owner, subject to signing of an OREC contract with NYSERDA, finalization of acquisition agreements, COP approval, and other relevant regulatory approvals.

DEME’s flagship offshore wind vessel Orion has completed monopile installation works on Ocean Winds’ Moray West project in Scotland.

Despite harsh winter conditions, DEME swiftly installed 29 monopiles in approximately two months.

Now, DEME’s DP2 jack-up vessel Apollo is installing the transition pieces.

”With the deployment of the new installation technology, we were able to complete this part of the DEME scope smoothly and efficiently.

"It truly demonstrates Orion’s efficiency, particularly its double-stage motioncompensated gripper,” said Lucien Romagnoli, business unit director UK, Ireland & Belgium at DEME Offshore.

“We are eager to continue the momentum with Apollo and seamlessly complete the transition piece installation, delivering another project to the full satisfaction of our client.”

Industry milestone

When completed, the Moray West offshore wind farm, developed by Ocean Winds in Scotland’s Moray Firth, will generate 882MW, estimated to be able to power more than 1.3 million homes.

DEME PROGRESSES MORAY FIRTH MONOPILE

INSTALLATION PROJECT

A key industry milestone has been delivered by DEME installing the first complete foundations for near 15MW turbines, currently the largest size available. During the project, dedicated novel tools were deployed such as a Quad Vibro Hammer and pioneering bolting equipment for M90 bolts.

Orion transported the 29 monopiles, which weigh up to 2,000 tonnes each, from the port of Invergordon and installed them in full DP mode, without the use of anchors.

The vessel’s specially designed and high-tech motion compensated pile gripper, in combination with its 5,000-tonne crane and vessel ballasting techniques, enabled efficient operations despite the notorious Scottish winter weather conditions.

The Vibro Hammer was used to overcome the risks of pile-runs, due to the combination of soft and hard soil layers. Afterwards the piles were hammered to the target depth with a hydraulic Impact Hammer.

DEME’s jack-up vessel Apollo is performing the transition piece installation, which is expected to be finalised in the coming months.

This efficient way of working accelerated and de-risked the schedule of the project, which has a very limited installation period.

Meanwhile Orion has started its voyage across the Atlantic Ocean back to the United States, heading to its next project in Virginia, where it will prepare for the installation of 176 foundations on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project for Dominion Energy.

COST PARITY WITH NEW FUELS IS ACHIEVABLE: REPORT

Sustainable shipping fuels could reach cost parity with fossil fuels as early as 2035 with the help of decisive emissions policy such as carbon taxes and emissions limits, according to a new report launched by technology group Wärtsilä.

The report, Sustainable fuels for shipping by 2050 – the 3 key elements of success, reveals that the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and FuelEU Maritime Initiative (FEUM) will see the cost of using fossil fuels more than double by 2030. By 2035, they will close the price gap between fossil fuels and sustainable fuels for the first time.

Transporting 80% of world trade, shipping is the engine room of the global economy. However, despite being the most efficient and environmental way to transport goods, it emits 2% of global emissions, equivalent to the annual emissions of Japan. Without action, this could increase by more than 45% by 2050.

In 2023, the International Maritime Organization set a target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Existing decarbonisation solutions, such as fuel efficiency measures, could cut up to 27% of emissions. Wärtsilä’s report argues that sustainable fuels will be a critical step in eliminating the remaining 73% but radical action is needed to scale them. The industry suffers from a “chicken and egg” challenge –ship owners won’t commit to a fuel today that is expensive, only produced in small quantities, and may be usurped by another fuel that scales faster and more affordably. Meanwhile, it is difficult for suppliers to scale production without clear demand signals.

Wärtsilä has produced new modelling that shows a timeline of which fuels are likely to become widely available on a global scale, when and at what cost. To accelerate this timeline, the report argues that decisive policy implementation, industry collaboration and individual operator action must coalesce to scale the production of these fuels.

Roger Holm, president of Wärtsilä Marine & executive vice president at Wärtsilä Corporation, says: “Achieving net zero in shipping by 2050 will require all the tools in the toolbox, including sustainable fuels. As an industry, we must focus on coordinating action across policymakers, industry and individual operators to bring about the broad system change required to quickly and affordably produce a mix of sustainable fuels. Policy in Europe is showing just how impactful action at the international level can be, closing the cost gap between fossil- and low-carbon fuels for the first time.”

Decisive Policy

Wärtsilä’s modelling shows sustainable fuels will be 3-5 times more expensive than today’s fossil fuels in 2030. As ETS and FEUM show, policy is key to closing the price gap. The report argues that policymakers should:

5 Maximise certainty: Set an internationally agreed sciencebased pathway for phasing out fossil fuels from the marine sector, in line with IMO targets.

5 Boost cost competitiveness: Adopt a global industry standard for marine fuel carbon pricing.

5 Collaborate: Increase global collaboration between governments on the innovation and infrastructure necessary to deliver sustainable fuels at scale worldwide.

Industry collaboration

The sector must collaborate with stakeholders from inside and outside shipping. The report calls on industry to:

5 Pool buying power: Initiate sector-wide procurement agreements to pool demand from multiple shipping operators.

5 Collaborate with other sectors: Convene with leaders in aviation, heavy transport and industry to establish a globally recognised framework for the production and allocation of sustainable fuels.

5 Share skills: Establish an industry-wide knowledge hub for the purpose of sharing expertise, skills and insights.

Individual actions

Every euro an operator saves in fuel costs at today’s prices could be worth 3-5 times that by 2030. That means companies such as Carnival Corporation, which made a 5-10% efficiency gain through its Service Power Upgrade Program, could cut its fleetwide fuel costs by as much as $750 million per year in 2030. All operators can benefit from improving the efficiency of their vessels – the technology is readily available today.

Holm adds: “If there is one take-away from our report, it is that smaller operators need not feel powerless. They have a major role in accelerating towards net-zero emissions shipping. Taking steps to improve fuel efficiency and invest in fuel flexibility can deliver immediate returns, reducing both emissions and operating costs. But action must be swift – we have the lifecycle of just a single vessel to get this right.”

Investing in fuel flexibility is the most financially viable way to avoid the risk of stranded assets. Wärtsilä has been developing multiple fuel options. Most recently, Wärtsilä launched the first commercially available 4-stroke engine for ammonia fuel, which can immediately reduce emissions by over 70%, compared to diesel.

The report provides a roadmap for the future of sustainable fuels, identifying how the industry can more rapidly and affordably scale these fuels and achieve full decarbonisation by mid-century – within the lifetime of just a single vessel.

VOLVO PENTA CLAIMS WORLD

FIRST WITH E-CTV RETROFIT

Volvo Penta will replace the diesel engines on a crew transfer vessel (CTV) with fully electric propulsion in a first-of-a-kind retrofit, the company claims.

The vessel will be retrofitted with Volvo Penta’s Inboard Propulsion System (IPS) in the UK for crew transit service operator Tidal Transit, which says it is ’working to create the world’s first fleet of multi-functional electric crew transfer vessels’.

The cost of the retrofit is estimated to be £8 million (€9.4 million) and will be mainly funded by the UK government’s ZEVI (Zero-Emissions Vessel & Infrastructure programme).

”Using an existing vessel delivers better circularity and sustainability and helped make the project one of just 10 leading-edge developments awarded UK government funding as part of an industry-led transition to net-zero,” says Volvo Penta.

The Mercurio vessel, owned by Norfolk-based Tidal Transit, will be renamed e-Ginny on completion. The 20m long vessel will be fitted with 2MWh of battery capacity and forwardfacing, individually steerable drives with twin counterrotating propellers.

Tidal Transit is also working on shoreside charging capabilities, which it admits are ‘severely limited’.

“The project will expand vessel charging infrastructure by installing both an onshore charging station from Artemis Technologies and an offshore wind turbine-based charger from MJR Power & Automation,” it says.

Other equipment suppliers include battery developer Corvus Energy and Danfoss.

“We are delighted to be involved with such a landmark project, which will feature our first ever Volvo Penta IPS

powered 100% by batteries and with no on-board diesel generators,” said Volvo Penta UK sales manager Mehmet Belibagli. “It’s an ultra-efficient set-up that will deliver longerrange and emissions-free transfers. There’s also closer control and manoeuvrability so journeys are safer, faster and more reliable.

“We believe this is the future for a number of segments within the marine industry and hope it will inspire further projects.”

Second dual-fuel ferry launched in Scotland

A second dual-fuel ro-ro ferry has been launched on the River Clyde in Scotland.

MV Glen Rosa follows sister vessel MV Glen Sannox, both of which have been built for Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) to service the Arran route.

MV Glen Rosa is much heavier than her predecessor, setting a record for the Ferguson Marine Shipyard in Glasgow where she was launched and named on Tuesday.

At 102 metres long, the vehicle passenger ferry will be capable of operating on liquefied natural gas and marine gas oil (MGO). She is designed to carry 127 cars, 16 HGVs - or a combination of both - and up to 852 passengers, and should be completed by September 2025.

“MV Glen Rosa is the 363rd vessel launched on the Clyde under the Ferguson Marine name,” said John Petticrew, interim chief executive at Ferguson Marine

(Port Glasgow). “At around 3,000 tonnes, she is considerably heavier than her sister vessel MV Glen Sannox was at launch and sets a new record for the yard in terms of weight at launch.

“Today marks a significant milestone in the delivery of the two new ferries, following the success of MV Glen Sannox’s

sea trials in February and last week. This demonstrates the hard work being done by everyone at the yard to complete both ferries as soon as possible.”

The vessel was launched by welder Beth Atkinson, who completed her apprenticeship at the shipyard with the smashing of a bottle of Ardgowan blended malt whisky off the vessel’s hull.

Also at the ceremony were Wellbeing Economy secretary Màiri McAllan; Ferguson Marine interim chief executive John Petticrew; Rev William Boyle, Minister at St Andrew’s Church of Scotland, who blessed the vessel; and five female apprentices employed by the shipyard.

“This is a step in the right direction for the two dual fuel vessels, with MV Glen Sannox completing a dry docking and further builder’s trials last week,” said CMAL chief executive Kevin Hobbs.

OPINION: DIFFERENT FUELS FOR DIFFERENT VESSELS

The International Maritime Organization has announced a goal of achieving net-zero emissions “by or around” 2050, depending on “national circumstances”, which presents huge challenges, says Caterpillar Marine product manager William Watson.

The IMO’s aggressive target, with its many caveats, reflects the sector’s challenge to reduce its environmental impact as it remains a cornerstone of the global economy – and a hard-to-abate industry.

Vvessel diversity and industry applications – plus economic factors – can present unique challenges to reducing emissions.

Small vessel owners in particular have a wealth of options in the form of behavioural changes and customised solutions as they help move the industry toward its net-zero goal.

One example is tug titan Svitzer, which relies on a tug fleet in the port of London powered by Cat engines that run on 100% biofuels. Success with alternative fuels along with technological innovations that advance marine batteries and shoreside charging technology help workboat, patrol, crew transfer and ferry operators lower emissions.

Challenges to marine industry abatement

The shipping industry is responsible for approximately 3% of human greenhouse gas emissions. In its Review of Maritime Transport for 2023 report, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development estimates $28-$90 billion in annual investments would be needed to update marine infrastructure to reach the 2050 goal.

While the entire industry is focused on lowering emissions, large shipping companies have an advantage when it comes to impact. Their budgets can accommodate research and development and tech overhauls. Even if they do not directly fund initiatives designed to reduce emissions, their industry leadership status attracts investors and government grants.

Small maritime firms often lack the funds to retrofit older vessels. New vessels equipped with energy-efficient technologies can be more capital intensive. Fortunately, new, affordable solutions can help smaller maritime companies keep pace with their larger counterparts.

Advancing decarbonisation

Svitzer’s 460-vessel fleet is a result of the company’s approach to lowering emissions, which includes:

1. Enhanced scheduling and operational efficiency

2. Dedication to optimised fuel efficiency through the use of equipment powered by Cat engine connectivity and performance-monitoring technology.

Companies are increasingly powering smaller vessels with biodiesel in addition to hydrotreated vegetable oil. Using biodiesel or HVO in lieu of diesel reduces lifecycle emissions in the fuel value chain, although tailpipe GHG emissions from biofuels are essentially the same as from traditional fuels.

Small vessel operators have taken interest in another approach – maritime infrastructure electrification. Building upon its electrification know-how in land applications, Caterpillar has announced plans to create marine classcertified batteries and shoreside charging solutions to help lower GHG emissions in the maritime industry.

A variety of options such as solar photovoltaic materials (PVs), hydrogen and hydrogen-blend gensets connected to

an expanding grid of shore-side charging stations can be used to support electrified powertrain solutions on vessels.

In addition to lowering emissions, electrification solutions may promote a smoother ride with reduced noise and vibrations, greater efficiency, ease of manoeuvrability and reduced maintenance costs.

How vessel owners can prioritize suitable technologies

Vessel owners seeking ways to lower emissions will be able to choose from customized electrification approaches to best suit their budget, goals and needs.

Tug and patrol boat owners, for example, may benefit from a hybrid solution that could employ biofuels and electrification. Another example is a ferry fleet operator with consistent routes being able to choose marine batteries that can be charged at shore-side stations.

As the Svitzer case study illustrates, successfully reducing GHG emissions is the result of a thoughtful, multifaceted operational strategy.

Selecting the right technologies can make it easier for small vessel owners to implement the behavioral and operational components of a comprehensive plan for decarbonization.

Customization for decarbonisation

In the maritime industry, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t meet the varied needs and unique goals of the myriad of marine applications.

Each vessel operator’s decarbonisation journey is unique and will require a customized solution that leverages marine batteries, shore-side charging and possibly biofuels or methanol alongside other technologies.

It means vessel operators must craft a decarbonization plan to fit their individual needs and budget. The combined efforts of ship owners and solution providers can help move the maritime industry closer to its goal of lower GHG emissions.

CTV BUILDER CALLS TIME ON FUTURE FUEL ‘GREENWASHING’

The future fuel frenzy shows no sign of letting up in the maritime industry as naval architects and boat builders seek the Holy Grail for their vessels. Farra Marine CEO Martin Farra speaks to us about the obstacles facing the industry.

What child these days would say they wanted to be a vessel builder when they grew up?

With the vast unknowns facing the whole industry in upcoming regulations, untested long-term alternative fuels and electric propulsion, and the sheer cost involved in all of it. No, at the moment, few would argue that diesel remains the best fuel for the job both with cost and performance.

But what about the climate? Few also diverge from the path to ‘green’, and cutting carbon emissions is top of the agenda at every conference, webinar, discussion.

But how much of a part, and how soon, the commercial marine industry has to play in saving the planet before it knows how best and most affordably to do it are surely valid questions.

Speaking to Maritime Journal, Farra Marine CEO Martin Rice says he has no intention of switching from conventional diesel propulsion in his fleet yet, and that the alternative fuels and battery options on the table now simply do not work.

“I don’t mind changing to any propulsion system but for me it has to work,” he says. “At the moment nothing works. The client demands that a vessel must be able to do 25 knots carrying 10 tons of cargo, and it has to be a hybrid or methanol or electric vessel. These fuel options change the performance of the vessels and they can’t do it.”

Rice says he has often been in talks with the likes of Volvo Penta and Scania, who have admitted a vessel using this kind of technology with sufficient horsepower is at least four or five years away.

“If I build my next boat methanol-ready it means adding all the heavy new pipelines, stainless steel tanks, and so on that the regulations say you have to have – and that means a boat that’s seven tons heavier than a diesel one. Are we saying that for five years I will have to drive around with an extra five tons?”

A hybrid boat, he says, will cost up to £1 million more to build – and it’s the CTV builder who has to bear that cost, not the client, who won’t pay a higher day rate.

“All the risks are on me and if they decide they don’t want it I’m left with a white elephant,” he says.

Technical issues

So what issues is Rice seeing with the new wave of vessels?

“They don’t work because they are so complicated,” he says. “Hybrid boats keep tripping, the gearboxes fail – there are too many systems trying to talk to each other and all coming out of the electrical system.

“It only takes a fuse to blow and it all shuts down. I know of boats that haven’t worked for five months – well that would put me out of business.

“You also have such complicated systems on board that when they trip you have to have a back-up. Even manoeuvring in a harbour is dangerous using batteries. When we go to the wind farm, we put a rope around the turbine and stop all the engines. Our green solution is a 300-euro rope.

“Everyone tells us this off the record. They won’t say it openly because it’s too political. I know of one operator who says he uses batteries in the harbour for 20 minutes, then drives out on diesel to get to the wind farm – then uses the batteries for a few minutes before switching back to diesel.

“It frustrates the life out of me.”

Rice says clients are forcing CTV builders to build hybrid boats so they can ‘tick the green box’.

“It’s greenwashing,” he says. “I would be happy to switch from diesel but only if they can give me something that works. It’s not really a good business plan trying to build these Chitty Chitty Bang Bang vessels – it’s a big risk to offshore renewables – all this money that’s being pumped into funds that want to invest in green.”

All of Rice’s vessels are IMO Tier III compliant, which means that although they run on diesel, they clean out ‘all the badness’. And he says that if there wasn’t such a frenzy to get turbines installed and built bigger and bigger, slow steaming could be used, the vessels could be operated at 14 knots and carbon emissions would be halved.

“But they won’t hear of it,” he says.

Rice is also concerned about the ‘S’ in ESG – Environmental, Social & Governance.

“Everyone’s concerned about the Environmental bit but no

one mentions the Social part,” he says. “Using cobalt dug out of mines by 10-year-olds, or the materials coming from other parts of the supply chain that are not socially ethical. Well we care about that.”

“If you can tick the green box they don’t really care if it works,” he says. “There might be a better solution in five or 10 years’ time, or they might spend money trying to get carbon out of the air, but for the moment, diesel is the only viable option.”

DAMEN WADES IN TO THE FUTURE FUELS DEBATE

All around the world, new regulations are coming into force that will require maritime operators to report – and reduce – the carbon impact of their fleets. To say this presents a challenge to the industry is to understate the situation.

For one thing, carbon reduction technology requires an increase in CAPEX – and frequently OPEX, too – at a time when it offers no increase in earning potential.

A further challenge exists: in most cases, the technology has not yet reached a state of maturity. As such, no one knows for sure what the future maritime energy transition looks like.

Much to consider

Joost Mathôt, Damen Shipyards Group’s director Products Workboats Division, acknowledges the difficulty of finding an answer.

“There are a lot of different views out there about the fuels of the future. For us, as vessel designers, that leaves us a lot to consider.”

The different directions in which stakeholders are facing is often related to perspective, Joost says.

“Depending how you look at it, you’re going to reach different conclusions. If you only take energy density into consideration, then you would probably choose to go in the direction of methanol. If, however, you’re focused on toxicity, you might look towards batteries.”

Origins

None of the currently available alternative fuel types provides a definitive solution, then. Plus, the origins of the fuels raise further questions.

“On the surface of it, methanol, for example, can offer significant reductions in emissions. But are we talking about grey methanol, blue methanol, or green methanol? All of them have different emissions implications from well-towake. It’s the same with electrification. An electric operation is often referred to synonymously as zero emissions. If that operation is drawing energy from a coal power station,

though, then emissions reduction is only taking place locally – from tank-to-wake. You’ve just moved the problem ashore.”

Exploring all options

This doesn’t mean, however, that we shouldn’t take action –indeed Damen, with its goal of becoming the most sustainable maritime solutions provider, is doing all it can. It is, in fact, exploring all possible options.

“We’ve been spoiled by diesel,” says Joost. “It has a high energy density and can be used for all operations, anywhere in the world. The fuels of the future will not have those characteristics. There will be no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.

“We need to look at this as a multi-criteria problem, which can have different outcomes depending on the context in which a vessel will operate.”

Electric success

Damen has enjoyed successes with vessel electrification. The company has delivered, and is currently constructing, a number of fully electric ships. There are limitations, however, on how far this can be taken.

“Our strategy is to electrify where possible, when there is sufficient electricity available, enough charging points, and enough time to recharge. This demands that the vessel remain in the same general area during operation.”

For that reason, full vessel electrification has, to date, been limited to public transport boats such as ferries and waterbuses, and to harbour tugs. Damen has also unveiled a fully electric Service Operations Vessel that is able to charge from a turbine or substation at an offshore wind farm.

Overcoming range anxiety

Meanwhile, when more range is required you need to consider alternatives.

“It will depend on the operation, on the vessel type, even on the location of the operation – what infrastructure is available, and which fuel type can be most readily produced. Our job is to cover all possible angles. If our clients are asking for it then, within the limits of feasibility, we are either doing it now, or will be doing it in the near future.”

Examples include the Elevation Series of Commissioning Service Operations Vessels that Damen is currently building for CMB.TECH. Designed in cooperation between Damen and its client, these dual-fuel hydrogen powered vessels will be operational from 2025.

A further example is Damen’s Flex Fuel Tugs. These vessels are being constructed with conventional diesel engines, together with a fuel preparation space. This allows a rapid, cost-efficient transition, for instance to hydrogen, methanol, or batteries at a later date as the picture clears or it becomes more commercially sensible.

Immediate gains

In the meantime, there are already gains to be made with this fuel flexible approach, Joost says.

“If you combine a biofuel such as HVO, with an IMO Tier III compliant selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, as you can with these tugs, then you will achieve a CO2 reduction of 85-90%, together with an 80% NOX reduction. If you add a ULEV notation then you also dramatically reduce particulate matter emissions. At the current time, while we await the maturation of alternative fuel technologies and wider

POWER, PROPULSION & FUTURE FUELS

Once again, however, the answer poses further questions. There are limitations on the production of HVO fuel such that rising demand would stimulate considerable price increases. The solution, then, is a temporary one. So, what is necessary to ensure the next steps in alternative fuel advancement?

“We need all stakeholders to take a step forward. The operators need to be incentivised and/or there needs to be a level playing field. For that, the whole system needs to move – regulators, bankers, end users, port authorities.

“We, as the designer, have a part to play in this. We need to be open to collaboration throughout the system.”

HOW WORKBOATS CAN ACHIEVE ‘NEAR ZERO’ EMISSIONS NOW

While maritime industry headlines have been dominated by cargo owners’ latest orders of alternative-fuelled vessels or the steady adoption of energy efficiency technologies by some bold first movers, the workboat sector has been quietly, yet dramatically, innovating.

Advances in alternative fuels, hybridization and performance optimisation have been driven in recognition of the contribution that smaller support vessels make to the sustainability of various marine supply chains.

Workboat owners and operators have a diverse range of environmental stakeholders, from servicing offshore operations and inland waterways to port operations.

Owners therefore face challenges in meeting specific operational requirements to ensure safe and efficient operations but also a complex range of emerging environmental regulatory requirements.

Despite a surge of creative engineering solutions, the scale of the challenge is still vast.

With more than 21,000 workboats emitting 40 million tonnes of CO2 a year, and less than 1% of them sailing today with reduced emissions, if targets are to be met, the mainstream adoption of alternative fuels and technologies needs to scale quickly.

Hydrogen breakthrough

Hydrogen fuel cells are one option for multiple applications on water and onshore.

They have a higher energy conversion efficiency than internal combustion engines, with typical values ranging from 40%-60%. Hydrogen itself is one of the marine industry’s promising options as a marine fuel, providing its logistical and availability challenges can be overcome.

We know, for example, that hydrogen has low energy density – and it is cumbersome and expensive to store and transport.

However, when it comes to using methanol as a hydrogen carrier and fuel cells for marine operations, it is possible to have the best of both worlds.

e1 Marine believes its methanol-to-hydrogen generator technology holds the key. It has already been proven to help the automotive industry decarbonise and is now adapted for maritime applications.

By using methanol – grey, green or a mix – as feedstock for e1 Marine’s patented, proven methanol-to-hydrogen generator, vessel operators can create fuel-cell grade hydrogen onboard a vessel as, and when, it is needed.

When paired with fuel cells, it can provide standalone propulsion. This circumnavigates many of the complexities around hydrogen such as its storage implications and availability.

Proving performance

As investing in new fuels and technologies is unchartered territory for vessel owners, it’s critical that solution providers can demonstrate robust performance data. Ultimately, no one wants to the be the person who signs off on investing in technologies that become obsolete or under deliver.

That’s why e1 Marine commissioned an independent study conducted by maritime research house Thetius. The exercise validated a model that was developed between e1 Marine, Element 1 Corporation and Maritime Partners LLC to quantify

the reduction of GHG emissions achieved by the solution using grey, green or blended methanol when compared with standard diesel combustion engines.

Using 50,000 hours of operating data from eight inland workboats in the US to develop a cumulative load comparison, the results demonstrated that the methanol-tohydrogen generator on inland waterway vessels can reduce EPA-regulated emissions by up to 99%, even when using grey methanol, compared to conventional diesel engines.

The technology can also reduce GHG emissions by up to 85% when using green methanol as feedstock.

For smaller vessel main propulsion and ocean-going vessels’ auxiliary engines, the Thetius findings – based on a large amount of operating data – underline the capacity of e1 Marine’s generator technology to almost eradicate local pollutant concerns and offer a clear pathway to 2030 and 2050 GHG emission compliance.

Enabling hydrogen fuel cells for workboats has real emissions benefits.. Vessels with hydrogen fuel cells propulsion using hydrogen generators that reform methanol and water as feedstock would produce up to 28% fewer GHG emissions using grey methanol.

In contrast, an EPA Tier 3-compliant marine diesel engine would produce more carbon dioxide, 10 times more CO2 and four times more methane on the same vessel.

For inland waterways, this technology can be integrated into newbuilds, such as the M/V Hydrogen One, in which e1 Marine is playing a key role.

In turn, as workboats look for alternative fuels like methanol at scale, ports will be better positioned to meet increasingly stringent environmental targets, both by reducing emissions from vessels hoteling, or from other shiploads by using this technology in modular form alongside fuel cells to create electricity for port operations, such as electric cranes, drayage trucks and other port equipment.

EMINOX: SOLVING EMISSIONS WITHOUT CHANGING FUEL

When regulations on the amount of particulate matter from the exhausts of on-road vehicles was implemented, Eminox already had a solution to enable emissions reduction.

The company’s pioneering exhaust after-treatment solutions were already being sold to companies, particularly in Sweden, who are leaders in environmental innovation. This technology was widely adopted soon after by the off-road markets.

So in today’s climate of cutting emissions and searching for non-polluting fuels, it is quite frustrating, the team at Eminox admits, that its Exhaust After-Treatment Systems (EATS), which have been designed and proven for vessels, are not really shifting at all.

EATS removes nitrogen oxide (NOx and NO2), almost all particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from the exhausts of engines. This technology enables full compliance to IMO Tier III and EU Stage V Inland Waterways standards on both seagoing and inland vessels.

The systems can be fitted to existing vessel exhaust systems and are scalable, and Eminox offers the full evaluation, modelling, prototyping, validation and verification service in its 7,000m2 facility in Gainsborough, northern England.

The EATS emission reduction process for EU Stage V Inland Waterways uses Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) technology. The SCR converts oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water, using ammonia as a reductant, generated from a urea in water solution (commonly known as DEF) to achieve the regulated tailpipe emissions.

The system works out how ‘dirty’ the engine is and calculates how much urea is needed to be injected to fire up the process.

“We’ve developed a standard range of after-treatments for the high-speed market, which supports engine power outputs from 100 to750kW. We have scaled up this core technology to provide solutions for up to 4MW however the technology can be extended to higher power output engines” says Engineering director Dave Phillips.

“To scale it up we take three main steps from a dosing and

control perspective,” he says. “We have a single dosing platform with a single injector, pump and ACU (Aftertreatment Control Unit). Eminox’s multi-dosing platform allows us to take automotive technology and scale it for marine engines up to 1.5MW.

“We’ve developed the software to enable the exhaust after-treatment system to fully integrate with an OE system, communicating directly with their engine – alternatively we can retrofit or re-fit, on a vessel.”

Eminox has made several systems at the smaller scale, and supplied a number of customers, Phillips says, and there are vessels on the water with after-treatment systems –but he admits the number is still small

One of the biggest challenges, says Phillips, is size: “One major challenge is packaging; engine rooms are typically congested as the space is required for commercial benefit. The exhaust aftertreatment can be the same size as the engine and requires access around the installation for servicing.”

Eminox has made several systems at the smaller scale, and supplied a number of customers, Phillips says, and there are vessels on the water with after-treatment systems – but he admits the number is still small.

“We’re confident it can grow if the regulations are enforced – that’s one of our biggest concerns,” he says. Because if vessel operators can avoid the cost, why wouldn’t they?

“Marine is a more challenging market,” he says. “If they can find a way around it, who can blame them?”

Phillips says while the regulations are in place, they are not being enforced, but he believes in five to 10 years’ time the picture will be different.

Replace carrots with sticks

Carlos Vicente is Retrofit and Aftermarket director at Eminox.

Environmental focus has changed, he says, and other options are becoming available, like batteries – which of course do not need after-treatment, so will not sit in the short-term plans of Eminox.

“Electric cars started being modelled in cities and people started thinking they’d done enough and that batteries were the answer,” he says. “Then there were U turns in the environmental ambitions in governments, which led to a lot of concessions for not only the on-road market but also offroad. The maritime industry has rules in place so both the government and regulators are obliged to comply - for other sectors, enforcement of environmental regulations has sadly required fines to protect the environment. “Carrots haven’t worked. Do we need sticks?” Vicente says.

“Being green costs money. Our customers weren’t selling their products in the volumes they anticipated.”

Again, as Phillips says, enforcement – or lack of it – is one of the headaches.

He admits an engine with EATS cost more than one without, and it delivers no long-term cost saving.

“You’re now buying an active mobile chemical plant,” says Vicente. “You have to control it, the catalyst needs to be certified and you have to have the space to mount it, alongside carrying dosing liquids to allow the after-treatment system to operate effectively.

“Diesel is still by far the best option for most marine vessels and there is too much uncertainty on which alternative fuels will take the lead in the future. Approvals are also too complicated for the low volume market to obtain.”

There is one bright speck, and that’s the number of enquiries they are receiving, says Vicente.

“They are all talking about emissions reduction technology but not actually putting it into their production lines,” he says. “We can see there are opportunities for the future. There are lots of trials, and our overall message is – it’s coming.”

Eminox will have its single-dosing control unit on show at Seawork, stand E4 – a working control system along with explanations of how it works and what it means for vessel owners looking to add after-treatment systems to their vessels.

According to Seawork 2024 exhibitor Shipshape World, legislation is continually getting tighter around the foams, fabrics and numerous other materials used in the sleeping cabins of commercial vessels.

As Shipshape World puts it: “Insurance companies, authorities and surveyors need to find areas of weakness and make examples of companies, both large and small, that are not in compliance. Today, more than ever, ship and rig operators have a duty of care to their staff and if blame can be found, it will be.”

Seawork gives Shipshape a fantastic opportunity to not only catch up with existing clients and old friends but also to create new partnerships and blossom new opportunities for success ‘‘

Many of Shipshape’s products are ‘multicompliant’, meaning they have passed Solas, WheelMark, Crib 5 or 7 and the USCG. Such

products will ‘reasonably meet any foreseeable need, question or challenge’, claims Shipshape.

Offshore cabins are a small part of the offshore industry but as many of the crew members who Shipshape spoke to on their last visit to Seawork confirmed, having a comfortable cabin makes all the difference to life at sea. A good night’s sleep results in a more alert and efficient crew, reducing

accidents at sea and improving a ship’s productivity.

“Seawork gives Shipshape a fantastic opportunity to not only catch up with existing clients and old friends but also to create new partnerships and blossom new opportunities for success,” said Martin Bunn, Business Development & Commercial sales executive. “Shipshape is experiencing significant growth in the offshore industry and Seawork gives us the platform to take the next step. A lot of our visitors realise that fulfilling cabin procurement needs through one company makes the procurement process quicker and easier.

“After discovering our full range our clients have taken a great interest in consolidating all cabin procurement through one company.”

During the three days at Seawork, Shipshape will share its extensive range of products, including new multi-compliant lines such as carpets, urtains and roll packed mattresses.

IN DEEP: HOW OSW HAS SHAPED TODAY’S VESSELS

The growth of the offshore wind industry has led to a relatively new breed of vessel: the Service Operations Vessel and its upgraded sister, the Construction Service Operation Vessel. Peter Barker examines the development of these vessels in Europe, where it all began.

Danish shipowner CBED references maritime consultants Clarksons, which says the global wind sector is expecting 30,000 turbines and foundations to be installed by 2030, with the annual installation rate set to double from 2025.

A quick peek at the industry reveals some 13 owners and operators based in Europe with around 70 SOVs or CSOVs either delivered or on order from eight different ship designers and shipyards.

With the increasing global interest in offshore wind on the back of Europe’s early-adopter advantage, together with the suitability of such vessels for roles outside the offshore wind industry, the future for this niche sector looks promising, with demand clearly there.

Before looking at the vessels themselves it’s worth considering the background and how the task of ferrying technicians to the turbines during the construction and longer-term maintenance phases has evolved in parallel with the industry itself.

Over the horizon

The world’s first offshore wind farm was built at Vindeby in Denmark in 1991. The UK’s first was at Blyth in 2000, comprising two turbines half a mile offshore.

Just five years later the Kentish Flats wind farm off the north Kent coast saw turbines sited six miles offshore.

Once the foundations and transition pieces are installed technicians work on the structures for the remaining construction phase and beyond for maintenance and repairs over the turbines’ lifespan.

Purpose-built Crew Transfer Vessels, typically waterjet-

powered, 20kn catamarans carrying up to 12 technicians, soon became the standard means of transport, but one issue was the ‘commuting time’ to wind farms beyond 35km offshore, making for a long working day.

The offshore wind industry has developed over time with larger turbines in deeper waters further offshore. Germany in particular favours an ‘out of sight – out of mind’ approach, with its developments averaging 30km-100km offshore. In the UK the Hornsea Wind Farm is around 120km offshore.

Different solution

As the day-boat method gradually became untenable, the SOV was born. It involved a larger sea-going vessel accommodating upwards of 30 technicians and remaining on site typically for 30 days at a time, transferring personnel to and from individual turbines as and when required.

The majority of SOVs and CSOVs are new-builds specifically designed for the role, and take advantage of modern novel hull designs and developments in energy efficiency.

They also allow inclusion at the design stage of motioncompensated cranes and access gangway systems for personnel transfers, innovations adopted on other ‘walk-towork’ vessels servicing fixed offshore structures.

Accommodation vessels, referred to as ‘floatels’, have been in use in the offshore oil and gas industry for decades.

However in the early days of offshore wind, technicians with specialist skills gained in the onshore wind energy sector simply went to work in a boat rather than a van, and with many not natural seafarers, a high level of comfort, both

with a stable platform and quality accommodation, was needed to attract them to this new way of working.

Ulstein’s patented X-BOW (and later X-STERN) inverted bow concept is an example of modern hull design, including for passenger ships, where minimising vessel motion is important and a popular feature on some SOVs and CSOVs.

The environmentally friendly nature of offshore wind has also led to developers demanding a similarly ‘green’ approach to their contractors’ operations, and vessel designers and builders have risen to the challenge with propulsion options including hybrid battery and methanolfuelled machinery, zero emissions being the ultimate goal.

One innovation being developed is whereby when on site and idle, SOVs can ‘plug in’ and charge their batteries from energy produced by the turbine itself.

Designers and builders

Turning to vessel designers and shipyards who supply SOVs and CSOVs it becomes clear that Europe currently leads the way.

The reason is partly historical, dating back to the parallel world of when offshore O&G exploration moved from the (relatively) shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the hostile North Sea in the 1960s.

European shipyards became dominant in producing a new breed of technically advanced offshore support vessel for this unforgiving environment, and all before the cheaper shipbuilders in places like the Far East, who had previously built relatively basic vessels, moved into more sophisticated tonnage.

Looking briefly at a representative sample of designers, builders and owners, data are taken from published information while acknowledging the rapid pace of development, including individual bespoke requirements that lie beyond their portfolios.

An appropriate starting point is Norway’s Ulstein, a thirdgeneration family-owned ship designer and builder where UT (Ulstein Trading) series offshore support vessels dominated the O&G industry’s early days. Following a series of changes, the UT brand is now under the banner of Kongsberg Maritime.

Ulstein itself has five SOV and CSOV designs from 68m to 93m in length, accommodating between 47 and 130 persons. They feature Ulstein’s X-BOW, X-STERN or TWIN X-STERN hulls and Ulstein Verft has six 89m SX222 CSOVs listed as delivered or under construction.

Kongsberg has continued the UT series with two SOV and two CSOV designs with accommodation for 60 to 85 persons. Its 12-vessel order book includes two UT5520MH CSOVs (with four options) for Cyprus-based Pelagic Wind Services, under construction at India’s Cochin Shipyard.

Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD, part of the Fincantieri Group, boasts a long and proud history of specialist offshore industry ship design and construction built on the back of North Sea O&G activity. VARD’s catalogue includes two SOVs and one CSOV with five 85m VARD 4 19 CSOVs on order for Norwind, deliveries scheduled up to Q1 2026.

Another Norwegian naval architect, Salt Ship Design, has offices in Poland and Serbia and offers a range of SOV and CSOV designs with a healthy order book of references for 10 vessels currently under construction at Spanish and Turkish shipyards covered in further detail below.

Shipbuilder Havyard Leirvik traces its roots back to 1918, and is another example of a Norwegian company experienced in building specialist offshore vessels, while North Sea O&G activity was at its height. It delivered five SOVs to Esvagt A/S between 2015 and 2020.

Global ship design company Longitude Engineering includes UK-based OSD-IMT within its structure, another company with an established reference list of offshore support vessels providing a natural step to the offshore wind energy sector.

Three vessels are listed in its portfolio and the company was recently selected to support a consortium led by Bibby Marine for the design of “the world’s first zero-emission electric eCSOV” now confirmed as a firm order with Spain’s Astilleros Gondán shipyard.

Dutch shipbuilder Damen produces a diverse range of vessels so it is not unexpected to find five SOVs and CSOVs in its catalogue. The smallest 60m hybrid SOV has accommodation for 44 persons while the largest 88m hybrid CSOV can accommodate 12.

UK-based BMT provides a range of activities including in the defence sector, and among its designs is a futuristiclooking ‘catamaran’ type-hulled SOV of a (relatively) modest 48m in length with accommodation for 40 technicians and 16 crew.

Owners and operators

The steady growth of the industry with predictions of more to come has led to new ventures emerging specifically for the sector.

Many, however, will be recognisable as established players from the O&G industry now adapting their skills and experience in this relatively recent market.

Wind farm developers themselves also have a natural involvement and it is not unusual to see their branding on the side of the vessels.

Looking alphabetically at a representative selection of the major mainly European companies, we start with UK’s Bibby Marine. With 200 years of history, Bibby operates a diverse

8 Bibby Line operates two Damen-built SOVs

fleet of vessels including two Damen-built SOVs, Bibby Wavemaster 1 and Bibby Wavemaster Horizon. It also recently ordered the eCSOV from Spain’s Astilleros Gondán shipyard mentioned above.

Formed in 2008, Denmark’s CBED specialises in accommodation vessels and recently converted the 2017-built, ex-Vroon PSVs VOS Start and VOS Stone to SOVs, renamed Wind Evolution and Wind Creation, with capacities for 60 clients.

Dutch company Chevalier Floatels has an interesting twovessel fleet in DP Gezina and DP Galyna, 69m long walk-towork vessels previously referred to as ‘yachts’ but since adapted for the offshore industry.

Norway’s Edda Wind is one of the industry’s largest SOV and CSOV operators, with around 20 vessels in operation or on order including nine Spanish-built CSOVs and four VARD 4 25s (plus options) due in 2025. The complete list comprises a variety of designs from VARD and Salt and includes a UT540WP from Kongsberg.

Denmark’s Esvagt is another established owner, its fleet including nine SOVs, mostly Havyard-designed and built vessels. In 2021 along with Crowley, Esvagt formed the CREST Wind partnership aimed at wind energy projects in the US.

Established in 2020, Integrated Wind Solutions (IWS) is currently halfway through building a six-vessel CSOV fleet at China Merchants. Named IWS Skywalker, Windwalker, Seawalker, Starwalker, Moonwalker and Sunwalker, all are Kongsberg UT5519 DE designs.

France’s Louis Dreyfus Armateurs owns a varied fleet of vessels and its involvement in the offshore wind sector includes two Salt-designed SOVs, built by Turkey’s Cemre Shipyard in 2019 and 2021.

Aberdeen-based North Star Shipping has an ambitious European growth strategy to add 40 new SOVs to its fleet by 2040, potentially becoming the largest operator in this list. Its fleet includes six Voith-powered VARD 4 07 vessels, four currently named Grampian Derwent, Tyne, Tees and Tweed.

Another recent company established on the back of “generational experience” in the offshore sector is Norwind Offshore. The Ålesund, Norway-based company’s roadmap includes five VARD 4 19 CSOVs due in service by 2025.

Olympic Subsea will need no introduction as another Norwegian company built on the O&G sector and it currently has two Ulstein SX222 TWIN X-STERN CSOVs in-build and due for delivery this year.

UK-based Purus Wind provides services that include its nearly 30-strong Purus HST CTV fleet and an evolving fleet of seven SOVs and CSOVs on order from a number of shipyards and built to VARD, Damen and Kongsberg designs, including Purus Horizon, an ex Edda Wind vessel.

Norway’s Rem Offshore will also be drawing on its O&G experience as it builds its fleet of four VARD and Havyard designed CSOVs along with Rem Inspector, built in 2013 to a conventional offshore support vessel design.

Finally, and demonstrating the often complex make-up of companies entering the industry, Windward Offshore’s joint venture partners include SeaRenergy Offshore, Blue Star Group, Diana Shipping Inc and SeraVerse. Its order book with VARD now stands at four 4 19 class CSOVs with deliveries due in 2026.

The future

Looking ahead it is reasonable to suggest the rapid growth of this one sector of the industry will continue given the appetite for offshore wind, especially as countries beyond its European birthplace explore this form of energy.

VESSELS & EQUIPMENT

Accompanying the growth, vessels are starting to appear from shipyards outside Europe and already European companies are working with others in the US as they navigate Jones Act requirements along with similar collaborations in the Far East.

The ebb and flow of supply and demand in the O&G sector has so far seen only a limited take-up in converting existing offshore support vessels. Given the subtle but significant specific requirements of SOVs and CSOVs, investing in bespoke tonnage with the latest innovations appears to be the preferred route.

An area of interest to watch is the growth of floating offshore wind installations. This area holds the possibility of offshore energy for countries whose coasts have deep water, unlike the relatively shallow waters of for example Europe’s North Sea, where fixed installations are the norm.

Floating offshore wind presents different challenges and already concept designs are appearing of huge ships capable of towing the completed turbines to the site, laying the mooring spreads (where used) and then continuing the work of the vessels featured above, including cable work.

As a potential indication of the future and just one example, OSD-IMT’s design portfolio includes a wind farm mothership of 185m in length, deadweight tonnage of 8,000t and accommodation for 340 people. Such vessels will arguably put modern SOVs and CSOVs in the same shade as the previous generation of CTVs are viewed now.

DUROWIPERS IN FOUR VESSEL REFIT

Harwich Haven has chosen DuroWipers for the refit of its four pilot boats.

The Saint Brendan, Saint Christopher, Saint Cuthbert and Saint Edmund were built at Holyhead Marine to a Camarc design and were delivered between 2010 and 2013.

Choosing the right wipers for this mid-life refit is critical, says Harwich Haven Authority’s marine engineering manager, Matthew Pearson.

“Our pilot vessels travel a total of 48,000 nautical miles each year. Because they work in all weathers in significant wave heights of up to three metres they ship green water over their windscreens as a matter of course.

“Clearing this water with wipers that work effectively, are reliable long term, and easy to fix and service is a key consideration. Any wiper problem can keep a HHA pilot boat in port.”

HHA has chosen four sets of Class 90 wipers per boat. Each set is driven by a 24 Volt 80NM Bosch Motor and the compact transfer box means they can be installed where space is limited.

Pearson goes on to explain that previous blades from Europe were not proving reliable. “We went through many sets of these wipers,

which in some cases have failed in just one to two years,” he said.

“We were also becoming concerned about the carbon footprint of replacement wipers and parts coming from Europe.

HHA trialled the wipers over the harshest conditions of December and January on the Saint Brendan after which it ordered sets for all four pilot boats. “DuroWipers also custom built the control panels for us which was a useful addition,” said Pearson.

8 DuroWipers are specifically designed for the marine environment

DuroWipers said it specifically engineers its wipers for the marine industry unlike crane or train wipers which can only cope with rain and occasional spray. “We proudly supply wiper systems to the Royal Navy and RNLI along with a number of port authorities for their pilot launches,” said Noel Gould, managing director at DuroWipers.

Italian waterjet maker Castoldi has launched a range of hydro-dynamically optimised waterjets named the Turbodrive 400 HCT.

Castoldi says the propulsion system is so-called because of its 400mm jet housing, hydraulic housing, hydraulic gearbox, multi-disc clutch and high thrust efficiency.

The development of the new family of Castoldi HCT waterjets started 12 years ago and according to owner Ciacomo Castoldi the latest developments in fluid dynamics has made it 12% more efficient than the outgoing model and also ‘perfectly interchangeable’.

“The bolt patterns have remained the same, removing the need for costly and timeconsuming structural work around the duct and transom,” he said.

Castoldi says the new waterjet has improved acceleration, noise output, manoeuvrability and speed maintenance through sharp turns, as well as featuring the standard Castoldi durable hydraulic gearbox and multi-disc clutch that allows the drive to be engaged and disengaged without stopping the engine.

“This is an important feature for police, patrol and search and rescue boats, which make up a significant proportion of Castoldi’s customers,” he says.

The Turbodrive 400 HCT is 509kg in weight and can handle up to 885kW (1,200HP) with a re-designed steering system that Castoldi says is more precise, which means speed loss is reduced during turns.

HOW ULTRASONIC ANTIFOULING MAXIMISES EFFICIENCY

Keeping the hull clean is one of the most important - and simple - ways of keeping costs down.

The more biofouling on the hull, the greater the drag, the worse the fuel efficiency.

Chris Hewitt, product and technical manager at Cathelco, explains how ultrasonic antifouling systems can save up to 13% in annual fuel consumption by helping to keep the hull clean.

The biofouling sequence is more or less instant, beginning as soon as a vessel hits the water. Algae accumulates within hours and, if micro fouling is left untreated, creates an environment for macro fouling to form: providing the perfect feeding ground for larger organisms including barnacles and muscles.

The more the organisms protrude, the worse the drag, and as drag occurs even as a result of the micro-fouling layer forming, entering the sequence at an early stage prevents the stages that follow.

Know your MGPSs from your USPs

Sea water is full of bacteria and different types of fouling, which clogs pipework and reduces flow.

To prevent this, cathodic marine growth prevention systems (MGPSs) are fitted at the seawater intakes. The copper anodes create an environment the organisms dislike, and discourage marine life from settling inside the pipework.

These MGPSs are volume treatment systems, best suited to the sea chest, internal pipework and box coolers, for example. However, for surface treatment such as the hull, ultrasonic protection (USP) is more effective.

With USP, transducers are attached to the inside of the hull and emit ultrasonic waves, disrupting any kind of a biological attachment to hull surfaces.

Simply put, it vibrates the surface, which biofouling organisms do not like, and they move on. Ultrasonic antifouling systems, such as Cathelco’s DragGone, vibrate into and through the plate, which then comes into contact with algae, disrupts the cell membranes, and prevents organisms from settling and spreading. MGPSs protect against macro fouling, while ultrasonic systems are more effective against micro fouling at an earlier stage.

Why are guided wave and heterodyning techniques useful?

Guided wave is an established technique, predominantly used in non-destructive testing. Essentially, it is an array of transducers of the same frequency, arranged in a certain way, which generates a guided wave effect and creates vibration on a surface.

Cathelco’s patented USP technology enables the waves to travel over longer distances than traditional ultrasonic fouling solutions, which means up to 60% fewer transducers are required.

This minimises installation and operational costs and makes the system more reliable and easier to manage, as there are fewer transducer locations, fewer cable runs, and fewer control panels.

Heterodyning, also called frequency conversion, is another established technique, originally used in radio frequency tuning.

Essentially, if you put two frequencies together you can generate additional frequencies. This is important because the amount of fouling in seawater is so diverse, depending on the location and time of year.

Single frequency transducers are unable to protect against all species of fouling. Generating more frequencies enables protection against a broader range of fouling species. Therefore, multiple frequency transducers enable increased range and optimum efficiency.

How smaller vessels benefit from ultrasonic protection

Over a five-year pilot installation, the USP DragGone antifouling system was tested on the N2H, a 50m superyacht. Transducers were placed in key locations for full hull coverage and the application led to a significant reduction in slime, ensuring the vessel’s hull remained free from common biofouling.

Feedback from the vessel’s chief engineer noted the system’s effectiveness in maintaining the yacht’s performance and appearance, prompting consideration for its inclusion in future vessel builds.

The same ultrasonic antifouling system is installed on the Baynes Sound Connector – a 78.5m car ferry operating on one of the world’s longest cable routes between Denman Island and Buckley Bay on Vancouver Island.

Prior to installation, the vessel was experiencing unacceptable levels of drag that stopped it from achieving the required number of transits each day.

Hull cleaning is a reactive solution to biofouling management. If you have fouling on the hull, you will have suffered from drag before it is cleaned, thereby impacting fuel efficiency.

It is also an expensive process, either during regular dry docking, when the vessel is taken out of service, or using divers, which has potential safety implications.

Ultrasonic protection is a proactive solution, complementing anti-fouling paint, which ensures the hull remains clean from day one, as soon as it has been cleaned.

In an operating context, where the onus lies heavily on realising efficiencies, this technology delivers both financial and environmental benefits – less fuel, less cost, fewer emissions.

SOS CALL FOR STEAM TUG WITH A TRAGIC PAST

Seventy years after the steam tug ST Cervia capsized with the loss of five lives, a group dedicated to preserving the vessel has appealed for donations to help with the restoration.

David Walton, chairman of the Steam Tug Cervia Preservation Trust, is spearheading the campaign as well as organising a memorial service for those who died, one at the age of 17.

Cervia is one of the last steam tugs still afloat – and is so only after being successfully raised from the Thames riverbed after the tragic sinking in October 1954.

The accident happened when she was on a regular job undocking the P&O liner Arcadia at Tilbury Docks in London.

Unbeknown to the Cervia crew, Arcadia had gone full steam ahead to avoid colliding with another P&O liner, Orcades – while at the same time being under tow at the stern by Cervia

The resulting wash from Arcadia dragged the steam tug over and she sank.

Five crew members – Captain William Russell; mate Leonard Strickland; second engineer Thomas Cormack; fireman Bertie Morgan; and cook Ernest Povey, just 17, lost their lives.

A further three crew members were pulled from the water by another steam tug, Challenge, which is also still afloat and has just been named one of four flagships of the year by the UK National Historic Ships organisation.

A memorial service will be held on October 26 for those who died at Tilbury. The actual sinking occurred at 11.30pm on October 25, 1954.

ST Cervia post WWII

Cervia was launched with the name Empire Raymond from the Alexander Hall yard in Aberdeen, Scotland on January 21, 1946.

She was at first given to the Ministry of War transport department, but soon withdrawn and employed with other tugs to help with the refurbishment of the Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth, which was being refurbished to convert her back into a passenger liner after being used as a troop ship in the Second World War.

In December the same year, the maritime towing business William Watkins bought her for £36,000 (€42,000) with compensation it had received for vessels it had lost in the war, such as the tugs Napia and Muria, which had sunk after colliding with sea mines.

William Watkins renamed her Cervia after the Italian Adriatic resort where his family owned a holiday villa. The name had been used for an older tug owned by the business, which had taken part in the Dunkirk evacuations and returned 230 troops.

With her new name, Cervia predominantly worked as a salvage and towing tug between ports in the UK and mainland Europe.

While based in Ramsgate, she helped to free several vessels that had run aground on the Goodwin Sand Banks off the east coast of southern England.

Recent history

William Watkins merged with WHJ Alexander & Co in 1969 to form the London Tug Company, which started phasing out

steam tugs in favour of the modern diesel vessels. It looked like time was up for Cervia, and she was sidelined at Sheerness and would have gone to the breakers if Michael List-Brain, the first person to circumnavigate the world on a steam wagon, had not bought her for £3,500 (€4,000) and promised to move and refit her, which he did at Poplar Docks in London.

She was at first intended for pleasure trips on the River Medway, but funds ran out and she was put back to work in the towing business just as North Sea gas and oil exploration and construction needed all kinds of vessels.

Cervia carried on working on various projects until her final contract in 1983, where she was used as a port tug for the cross-channel ferry service at Ramsgate. A poor economic climate saw the end of the service and the steam tug was mothballed.

Cervia is still in Ramsgate and needs constant repair and restoration to stay afloat.

The Friends of Cervia have opened a ‘Just Giving’ crowdfunding webpage for anyone who wants to donate and remember the five crew who lost their lives on her 70 years ago.

”Our fundraising appeal is obviously very important to us but also it is 70 years this year since she lost five of her crew in an accident on the Thames, and a memorial service and other events are planned for 26th October,” says David Walton.

ACTEON DRILLING EXPERTISE FOR PORT UPGRADE PROJECT

LDD, part of infrastructure services company Acteon, is undertaking a contract with George Leslie to perform piling works on the Kennacraig ferry terminal in Scotland.

The company is supplying reverse circulation drilling (RCD) services to construct a new sheet pile quay wall at the terminal. The project is being undertaken in challenging ground conditions with hardness ranging from 90 to 150 MPa.

“It is exciting to embark on a new collaboration with George Leslie, especially on such a complex port infrastructure enhancement project,” said James Dobson, head of projects, LDD.

“We look forward to continuing this collaboration and implementing our expertise in marine foundation construction across varying soil conditions, as well as growing our relationship to enable future projects together.”

Bigger and better

The piling works will upgrade the port infrastructure to facilitate the use of new vessels and the improvements are part of the New Islay Vessel Enabling Works project spanning the three sites of Port Ellen, Kennacraig and Port Askaig.

Berths at the Port of Tilbury have been upgraded to accommodate the biggest ships after a five-day dredging project was completed by Cemex.

The UK Marine team at Cemex, which is a global building materials supplier, carried out the work at the largest of eight ports owned by Forth Ports.

Tilbury is London’s primary port and the largest on the River Thames, thus ensuring it can accommodate vessels of any size and shape is essential.

Twenty-two nautical miles north east of central London, the docks have 56 operational berths, 31 independent working terminals, 10.2km of quay and 465,000 m2 of warehouse space.

The port has an annual throughput of 16 million tonnes with an estimated goods value of €10 billion.

The dredging, which was carried out to a depth of 15 metres, was done with the Dutch charter hopper dredger MV Reimerswaal, a 130m long vessel with a gross tonnage of 7,495.

OPINION: PORT OPERATIONS MUST BE MADE SAFER

Continuous vigilance, enforcement and safety cultures are critical to avoid injuries or worse, with internal waters such as ports the scene of more than half of marine incidents last year, says Lars Hardeland, commercial director, Shipping of logistics and marine services provider GAC Group.

In April, a ship’s master and its shipping company were convicted in Australia for a pilot ladder failure that resulted in serious injuries.

The investigation into the incident found that the ladder had not been checked regularly and had been improperly stored, leading it to degrade and become unsafe. Both the vessel’s master and its shipping company were fined after pleading guilty to failing to ensure their arrangements complied with regulations.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) says such preventable accidents can put lives at significant and unacceptable risk. The incident showcased the importance of continuously enforcing safety culture for shoreside staff as well as vessel crews.

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) marine casualties and incidents 2023 annual overview reported that while safety incident rates were similar across all vessel types, ‘internal waters’, including port areas where pilots, tugs and service vessels operate, accounted for more than half of the reported marine casualties and incidents last year.

The need to provide efficient and effective support to vessels and crews during turnaround procedures in a relatively confined space must not be at the detriment of safety efforts.

“Marine services specialists working portside must make every aspect of a vessel turnaround procedure as safe as possible, from docking and unloading cargo to crew changes to bunkering,” says Lars Hardeland, GAC Group commercial director – Shipping. “There must a well-established and enforced working culture that prioritises well-being, vigilance and compliance to prevent accidents.”

GAC has given particular attention to safe boarding procedures, particularly for those operating from tugs or offshore service vessels. The Group’s ‘Safe Boarding Initiative’ was set up more than a decade ago to ensure proper training and constant vigilance of vessel crews and portside staff for GAC and local suppliers alike.

“We drive home the message of ensuring that those working at ports are fit to climb pilot ladders, are wearing the correct clothing, and remain seated and secure on a tender during the journey from shore to vessel, as well as a thorough understanding of how to safely board commercial vessels,” says Hardeland. “By increasing crew skills and knowledge of procedures such as man overboard, pilot ladder and life raft safety training, you can limit the number of situations where workers might find themselves in danger.

“A positive safety culture for port-side operations can extend beyond the port. It provides a framework for applications for hotel inspections, land transport, medical testing and providing mental health support. It all begins on the shoreside.”

The Sri Lankan example In Sri Lanka, GAC has more than two decades of experience

of dealing with the safety challenges of operating a fleet of more than a dozen modern marine crafts, including tugs, crew launch vessels and supply boats.

Continuous training and safety operations for crews and operators is vital to support round-the-clock service to vessels plying one of the world’s major shipping lanes.

GAC also works closely with maritime bodies the Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Coast Guard to enhance safety initiatives.

“We conduct regular safety, fire-fighting and emergency rescue drills for tug vessels to ensure we are prepared for real-life situations in tough seas and harsh weather conditions,” says GAC Sri Lanka’s port captain/general manager Captain Keith Jayasuriya.

“The smaller size and lower freeboard of tugs and similar vessels expose them to greater risks in rough seas and adverse weather conditions, which requires greater attention to load and ballast management. They also typically have fewer crew members and less down-time, which can limit the time and attention they can devote to safety and compliance tasks.

“But no matter the challenge, it is important to put safety of our crews and personnel first. By doing so, we empower our teams to promote safety and ensure vessels and crews know they can dock, load/unload and turn around safely in Sri Lanka.”

The Port of Hanko in southern Finland is to be transformed into a hub for offshore wind, owner and operator Euroports says.

The port could provide a useful link in a supply chain that is groaning under the weight of demand in the wake of geo-political issues and the Covid lockdowns.

Ninety hectares of the 600-hectare Koverhar Harbour will be dedicated to ‘port activities’, the operator says, with facilities that allow it to accommodate major wind turbine projects and in so doing, ’setting the stage for Koverhar to become a pivotal network hub across the whole Baltic Sea region’.

The Port of Hanko, at the southernmost point of Finland, specialises in the export of forest and steel industrial products and the import of road vehicles.

No details have yet been given of what infrastructural changes will need to be made to achieve this transformation, but the first step has been takern in the signing of a Letter of Intent between the port and Euroports.

According to Euroports, the port currently has a deepest draft of 14 metres and quay length of 1,800 metres with eight berths.

Euroports operates and/or manages around 40 sea port terminals and more than 10 Inland terminals and logistic platforms

”These facilities have been specifically set up to be flexible and dynamic, and to cater to

specialised needs for liquid, bulk, breakbulk and containerised goods where required,” it says.

As part of its drive to become net-zero by 2040, Peel Ports Group is installing hydropower at its Queen Elizabeth II Dock at Eastham on the Manchester Ship Canal.

The port operator partnered with Czech renewable energy specialist Hydropol to install a twin Archimedean screw generator, at the site’s 30 foot lock. Now connected to the dock’s electricity network, it will generate up to 1,500,000 kWh per year.

“The introduction of hydropower at Queen Elizabeth II Dock is another major achievement as we seek to make our operations greener and more sustainable for the future,” said Lewis McIntyre, managing director – Port Services at Peel Ports Group.

DREDGING BEGINS FOR PORT ENERGY FACILITY

The UK’s largest port operator has begun work on an energy facility by commissioning Boskalis’ trailing suction hopper dredger Sospan Dau.

The dredging is being carried out at the Port of Lowestoft, operated by Associated British Ports (ABP), to create the Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF), an offshore energy hub.

The capital dredge will remove 170,000m3 of material in the Outer Harbour and channel approaches, with minimum depth berth pockets of 7.5 metres.

“This depth will mean Lowestoft is able to accommodate the next generation of offshore support vessels, marking a crucial step towards transforming Lowestoft into an offshore energy hub,” said ABP regional director Julian Walker. “The commencement of capital dredging signifies a pivotal moment in the realisation of the facility.”

Sospan Dau will be supported by a small survey vessel, Sea Eagle. The operations come after initial works by grab dredger UKD Cherry Sand.

The planned works for creating LEEF are extensive, entailing renewal of the town quay and development of around 120.000 sqft of area to install mooring pontoons for CTVsm a boat lift and other infrastructure necessary for offshore support, such as workshops and warehousing space.

The Port admits that what it will provide in terms of vessel fuelling is uncertain at the moment.

”The global shift to lower carbon energy is going to be a key driver of Lowestoft’s future prosperity,” it says. “Vessel fuelling is going to be no exception. Right now, the technology pathway is atill unclear – marine fuels used could be hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biofuel, battery storage, or a combination – but whatever the future holds, we want the town and port to build competitive advantage by being on the cutting edge of innovation.”

“We are pleased to have reached this important milestone in the project, having recently completed marine piling and tie rod installation,” said David Baskin, senior contracts manager at McLaughlin & Harvey, the contracted construction firm for LEEF. “Works are now well underway and on track to complete by September 2024.”

Dredging should be done and dusted in August.

Denmark gives green light to create OSW hub

The Kystdirektoratet, the Danish Coastal Authority, has given the port – a leading hub for the offshore wind industry – the go-ahead to deepen the 22 km-long Grådyb fairway.

“This will be a game-changer for our port and position us as a critical hub for wind turbines,” said Port of Esbjerg chief executive Dennis Jul Pedersen.

More than 3,700,000m³ of material will be dredged, with much of the material used to expand the port to the south. Work will begin this autumn and is scheduled to finish in spring 2025.

In 2022, Port Esbjerg received a grant of $20 million to deepen the fairway from 9.3 metres to 12.8 metres. The grant came from the EU infrastructure fund, Connecting Europe Facility.

The grant also resulted in Port Esbjerg’s designation as a Ten-T port as part of the Trans-European Network, but work has been delayed until environmental surveys have been completed.

ARCTIC ENGINEERING IN GREENLAND

One of the largest construction projects in Greenland’s history is under way with two airport projects, one of which needs a runway that goes out to sea.

Danish firm Munck Civil Engineering is carrying out the dredging required, with Arctic conditions ‘a particular challenge’.

Two airports are being built in the west of Greenland to accommodate larger aircraft as well as the propeller-driven aircraft that can land there now.

A new runway at one of the towns, Ililissat, is partly in the sea, so a thick layer of clay sediment has had to be removed from the seabed and then backfilled.

Using an HS 8200 duty cycle crawler crane from Liebherr, up to 1,000m3 of clay material was excavated each day, said construction manager Kevin van den Bos.

The 200t machine has a 35m boom and clamshell grab with 3.5m3 capacity.

Munck then had to source all the rock required for the new runway from within the project boundaries, which it did by drilling and blasting around 5.5 million cubic metres of rock.

That was transported to the construction section so the engineers could build a 2-kilometre long runway, which was edged with rocks using the crawler crane as part of the coastal protection it needed.

Arctic challenges

It wasn’t just the below-zero temperatures that created challenges – at 8 degrees C in summer that’s okay, but the work had to be done before they plummeted to minus 35.

“It is very important for us to complete the dredging work before the ice spreads in the bay and makes our work impossible,” the team said.

With just one ship a week bringing in supplies to the region, it was vital that the company had whatever equipment it might need to carry out repairs.

Van Oord launches dredgers and survey vessel

Van Oord has launched the latest additions to its fleet with the christening of two hybrid water injection dredgers and an unmanned survey vessel.

The family-owned company also welcomed new CEO Govert van Oord, as Pieter van Oord steps away from the helm.

The dredgers, Rijn and Rhône, are sister vessels of Maasa and Mersey, which were commissioned in 2021.

Van Oord describes the dredgers as ’among the most sustainable water injection dredgers to date’ with Ultra Low Emission Vessel notation.

“The combination of hybrid energy management systems, heat recovery systems and exhaust gas after-treatment devices reduce the vessels’ energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter,” it says.

A lot of the dredging process can be automated, Van Oord says, thanks to active

heave compensation and dynamic positioning technologies.

Van Oord’s fifth unmanned autonomous

survey vessel was also christened at the ceremony, which Van Oord contracted DEMCON Unmanned Systems to deliver, after its previous four.

VO: X Barentsz is a larger UAV than the previous four, Van Oord said, without giving further details.

CEO Pieter van Oord gave way to new CEO Govert van Oord after 15 years at the helm and 30 years with the family-owned company.

In September 2023, a state of emergency was declared in Bulgaria’s Tsarevo area, on the southern Black Sea coast.

Two people died after heavy rains caused two rivers to overflow and bridges were destroyed.

Among the most visited resorts in the Strandzha Mountain area, the beach resort town of Ahtopol and villages of Varvara, Sinemorets and Rezovo were busy with campers who flock to the region because of its beaches.

The villages were completely cut off because of the broken bridges and the campers had to be evacuated. People were urged to move to higher ground to escape the flooding and emergency services were stretched to breaking point.

As a result, tenders were invited to set up coastal defence works and after the process was launched by the Ministry of Regional Development and Welfare, a contract worth BGN2,725.000 (€1.4 million) was awarded to the Bulgarian engineering firm Transstroy, which is undertaking the works in the second half of this year.

NAVTOR CALLS FOR GREATER ENC ACCESS

NAVTOR is calling on hydrographic offices and other industry stakeholders to help urgently “bridge the divide” between vessels and management teams with the wide-scale roll-out of onshore ENCs.

NAVTOR’s Paul Elgar describes the current state of play as “simply not good enough in an age of smarter shipping, efficiency and crucial sustainability goals”, and that without a joined-up, global approach to the issue, important development areas such as autonomous shipping, route planning, optimisation, and effective emergency response measures could be held back.

The need for change

“At present, traditional pricing structures and usage restrictions mean that hydrographic offices don’t differentiate between vessels and offices,” he says. “So, if you’re a forwardthinking shipowner that wants to enhance operations by allowing onshore staff to access the same charts as your vessel teams you’re looking at an additional bill of hundreds of thousands of dollars for global coverage.”

Leading shipping companies, he says have to resort to unofficial charts onshore and even, in some scenarios, applications such as Google Maps to monitor vessels, plan and even co-ordinate emergency response action.

“Obviously that’s sub-optimal,” he says. “To get the best results – whether we’re talking about fleet planning and performance, safety, empowering new digital technology (such as AI), or regulatory compliance – shipping companies need to have seamless access to the same charts as crews. As more and more tasks migrate from ships to shore this issue is only compounding. We need to see some positive action.”

Changing course

NAVTOR’s campaigning approach has kick-started change, Elgar says, but more needs to be done.

NAVTOR has been working alongside hydrographic offices and Regional ENC Coordination Centres (RENCs) for the last two years to convince key parties of the need for a new approach. RENC IC-ENC has been a close collaboration partner, raising the issue with the 50 Hydrographic Office members it represents, the result being that their ENCs are now offered to IC-ENC resellers at just 10% of the standard price. However, Elgar says talks with Primar RENC have been more “mixed”, although he believes they will change for the better soon.

“To get global coverage for their teams, shipping companies need universal access to charts. That means the offices that have not joined this movement – such as Japan, South Korea, India and China – need to recognise the situation and get onboard with change. We hope they’ll see this and make the right decision to serve the industry, and soon.”

NAVTOR, which provides e-Navigation and smart shipping solutions to more than 18,000 vessels in the world fleet, has responded to customer demand by releasing the new offering ENC Online. This unique service delivers worldwide ENCs to internet-connected shore-side systems at competitive prices, allowing fleet and vessel management teams to integrate ENCs directly into applications where nautical charts can unlock smart shipping benefits.

Realising potential

“This is the first step on a longer journey,” Elgar says. “The next will come later this year with NAVTOR’s ENC Onshore, allowing even non-internet connected onshore systems to use the latest digital charts. That will see whole organisations, both on vessels and on shore, working as one with the latest ENC charts.

“However, to really unlock the full potential of this integrated way of working, modern owners and operators need the remaining hydrographic offices and RENCs to see why official onshore ENCs are not a luxury item, but rather an absolute smart shipping necessity. Greater uptake will boost their revenues as well, so it really is a win-win here.”

NAVTOR is the world’s largest distributor of ENCs and related e-Navigation products. The company, which merged with Voyager Worldwide in 2023, is also in the performance monitoring, management and optimisation, digital logbooks, and smart shipping innovations markets.

The market for marine onboard communication and control systems is projected to increase by 50% by 2028, driven by a rise in the size of marine fleets, according to the market research firm Markets and Markets.

In a 220-page report, it projects the market will grow from a value of $8.6 billion in 2023 to $12.3 billion at a CAGR of 7.3% spurred on by the need for more advanced communication and control equipment, enhanced navigation, secure communications and operational efficiency.

By region, the report says Asia-Pacific will have the highest CAGR, and that ‘new product launches and contracts are expected to offer lucrative opportunities to market players in the next five years’.

“The market growth in Europe can be attributed to significant investments in R&D activities and the technological advancements taking place in the maritime industry,” it says.

As the market rises there will be restraints caused by cost, the report says, which as systems increase in complexity, will turn go higher and cause fleet managers to think twice about investing in such rapidly changing technology.

BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FOR FLEET MANAGERS

A Finnish technology company has designed a solution to give ship managers shoreside an unparalleled view of the surrounding area of all fleet vessels, including tugs and harbour vessels.

Groke Fleet by Groke Technologies builds on its predecessor the Groke Pro Situational Awareness System, to give more detailed information on which to better evaluate, enhance and control the navigational safety and efficiency of their vessels.

”While fleet managers can use Groke Fleet to follow the safety and efficiency of their vessels in congested or difficult seaways, the system really comes into its own in the event of a collision or similar incident,” said Juha Rokka, CEO, Groke Technologies.

“We see a future where situational awareness data will play a central role in ship and fleet management, but our technology also provides irrefutable evidence for accident investigators and insurers. It delivers greater transparency.”

Continuous monitoring

Mr Rokka said that unlike traditional fleet awareness solutions, GRoke Fleet isn’t just based on periodically updated AIS data.

The system captures positional data from onboard cameras, sensors and navigational systems to provide a continuous clear image of each vessels’ operational status, day or night.

Using machine vision and Cloud technology, Goke Fleet provides an accurate overview of the ships, generating insights and historical route information combined with high-resolution imagery from the ships’ Groke Pro cameras and sensors.

If there’s an incident or a near miss, the system automatically captures an image of the situation and creates a report, so reporting is no longer dependent on those onboard. Fleet managers can play back the route leading up to the event to see what actually happened.

Groke Pro’s blending feature combines images from day and thermal imaging cameras to provide a clear view of the vessel surroundings even during night-time operations or other low-visibility situations such as fog, heavy rain or highly reflective situations.

Mikko Mäkelä-Vaitilo, Groke Fleet product manager, said this makes a big difference to fleet management.

“It’s no longer just an AIS-type map view, but you can overlay high-resolution camera imagery. It picks up all the objects detected by the computer vision system, including non-AIS vessels,” he said.

Inmarsat launches ‘game-changing’

future proof, designed to integrate the upcoming ultra-high capacity, high-speed ViaSat-3 Ka-band service, which is expected to enter service in 2025. As a unified solution, NexusWave ensures managed performance levels regardless of the vessel’s location or requirements. It provides complete transparency on total cost of ownership, with no unexpected charges.

“Maritime operators face ever-growing demand for data consumption and speeds on board their vessels, coupled with the operational challenges of connecting worldwide while ensuring the security and efficiency of their communications,” said Inmarsat president Ben Palmer. “Meeting all these requirements typically relies on multiple, disjointed solutions, resulting in a complex patchwork of data caps, speeds, and coverage, in addition to unverifiable cyber security.”

NexusWave is supported globally and fully managed by Inmarsat, with top-tier technical assistance and guidance from decades of experience. The solution will be continuously enhanced, and Palmer added that the synergy from Inmarsat’s combination with Viasat has been integral to NexusWave’s development.

UAV OPERATOR DEMOS DRONE ADDITION TO FLEET

Scotland-based Interocean Marine Services demonstrated its new Flyability Elios 3 UT drone using the Valaris jack-up rig as a base to show how the technology eliminates the risk of working at height and in confined spaces.

By reducing the need for scaffolding and rope, the drone solution minimises costs as well as danger.

The Elios 3 UT has Swiss firm Flyability’s ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) payload on board, which the firms say can provide accurate readings 10 times faster than traditional methods.

“Committed to reducing downtime and improving safety across the energy, maritime and industrial sectors, Interocean is one of the first companies offering the Elios 3 UT drone technology across the globe,” Interocean says.

The Elios 3 has been designed to fly in hazardous areas such as confined spaces and uses LIDAR and photogrammetry sensors to produce a 3D map of the area in real time as an area is flown, a spokeswoman for Interocean said.

“This live 3D map on the pilot’s tablet details the environment surrounding the drone, producing enough situational awareness that the pilot can fly largely by referencing the 3D model, and therefore flying safely beyond visual line of sight.”

It can fly at a maximum altitude of 120 metres and 150 metres horizontally.

“Drones typically used in the offshore environment are commercial grade vehicles and subject to the application carry a range of sensors, cameras and payload to undertake many survey and inspection tasks,” the spokeswoman said. “They are also equipped with a range of additional operational safety features and failsafes that allow them to perform safely in the offshore environment.

“The Elios 3 has been fabricated using state of the art materials including carbon fibre - kevlar composites, magnesium alloy, aeronautical grade aluminium and highquality thermoplastics.”

“As a provider of visual, conventional, and advanced NDT inspections, we are always striving to continue advancing the services we provide,” said Interocean COO Alex Reid. “Introducing the Elios 3 UT drone to market is a significant milestone for Interocean and NDT inspection as a whole.”

“Delivering precise location-tagged measurements in confined spaces, the probe arm of the Elios 3 UT is the smartest ever built on a drone,” said Flyability area sales manager Inga Khchoyan. ”Backed by several years of research and development, the drone is the latest advance in our suite of technologies.”

Interocean provides a wide range of cost-effective marine, engineering, survey, subsea, risk management, and mooring project management services throughout the project lifecycle.

NAPA Studios brings together shipowners, charterers, shipyards, classification societies, financiers, and insurers, and like a band, contributes diverse expertise to create something unique: innovative solutions to some of the most imminent challenges faced by the maritime industry today.

A fresh approach is needed because of the magnitude of the changes required of the maritime industry, and the accelerated pace at which they must happen. In short, we must create new ships powered by alternative energy sources, but also select the right systems for every vessel in an incredibly diverse global fleet.

Beyond technology choices, it is the entire operational ecosystem that will be transformed to enable net-zero shipping: from safeguards to ensure the safe use of new fuels and technologies, to cost-sharing mechanisms and contractual frameworks fit for decarbonized shipping.

Connecting the dots

NAPA Studios will leverage software, performance models and experience with digital twins, data science and simulation tools to create insights and solutions. This will bring together a wide network of maritime

stakeholders to foster partnerships that will range from ship design to operations, all with digital systems at their core.

Some collaborations will aim to provide

more clarity on the practical implications of deploying new technologies, such as wind propulsion, the use of which in a recent simulation study was found to reduce potential emissions by up to 28%.

Other ongoing projects are looking at advancing the use of digital twins from design to operations, to boost the safety, efficiency and environmental footprint of shipping. In tangible terms, this would enable owners to use ship-specific design data to improve operational efficiency and ship maintenance, while also allowing operational data to be fed back to shipyards to improve future designs.

This would mark a breakthrough in data sharing, with new business models between shipyards and owners that could have a transformative effect in accelerating emissions reductions as well as the development of more energy-efficient designs.

Our vision is that by responding to shipping’s growing demand for data-based evidence and proven solutions for every aspect of the huge transformation ahead, we can contribute to the whole industry’s success.

intelligence, we enhance visibility, coordination and decision-making while building a solid foundation of trust among all stakeholders. The new platform’s enhanced functionality perfectly aligns with our promise to empower people and organisations to evolve and create impact at all levels.”

The new Metis platform coincides with a company rebrand and will be on show for the first time during Posidonia 2024.

RESERVOIR SURVEY ACHIEVED WITH MULTIPLE TECHNOLOGIES

A recent survey has been successfully completed using three survey technologies at the same time.

Using drone technology, the bathymetry over an area of nine hectares were surveyed along a 10km corridor of a reservoir in a single day.

Spanish firm Aeromedia, which specialises in aerial surveys, used technology by the Canadian drone technology firm SPH Engineering to survey a 10km-long corridor in the Logrosan-Caceres reservoir in central Spain.

The multiple survey technologies used in combination in the project included an airborne echo sounder system developed by SPH Engineering that is used for terrestrial and underwater terrain.

It also used photogrammetry – making measurements from photographs to identify the relative locations of certain points – and LIDAR to look at the topography of a water catchment and discharge area near the Ruecas reservoir.

“LiDAR+RGB techniques were combined in the terrestrial area and the ECT 400S single-beam bathymetric probe in the reservoir area,” says Aeromedia. “The bathymetry of about nine hectares took one day, and the LiDAR flights took one morning. Our client obtained several cartographic products, such as DEMs and point clouds.”

Aeromedia says traditional methods of survey need separate systems for land and underwater, which complicates data integration, and increases time and cost.

“Moreover, the need to survey under vegetation and achieve depths of up to 100 metres underwater demanded a solution that could provide exceptional precision and versatility,” it says.

Project outcomes

Aeromedia says there were three main benefits from using the three technologies together.

The data collected were accurate and detailed, providing a holistic view of surveyed areas; greater efficiency and costeffectiveness; and a showcase of how a multi-sensor survey can offer potential for similar technologies ‘to revolutionise the surveying industry, setting a precedent for future projects’.

Ocean Infinity hired to survey Dogger Bank

Ocean Infinity has been hired by RWE and power company Masdar to perform 3D Ultra High Resolution seismic geophysical surveys for the Dogger Bank South (DBS) West offshore wind farm.

The contract will see Ocean Infinity surveying subsea terrain at each proposed wind turbine foundation site.

Ocean Infinity (see our feature on P54) will deploy its vessel Deep Helder in June for around a month to use its high-resolution 3D geological data technology, all of which can be remotely operated.

Seafloor changes will be monitored and mapped to determine exactly what the seafloor conditions are like for installing the wind farms, which will have a generating capacity of around 3GW in total.

“We are also collecting geotechnical data from the turbine foundation sites to deliver exceptional levels of detail about the

subsea conditions, which is invaluable and enables us to identify challenges at the development stage and to put in place appropriate mitigations where required,” said DBS development project manager Colin McAllister.

“This is Ocean Infinity’s first 3D Ultra High Resolution Seismic survey project awarded by RWE, which we are very excited about,”

said Ocean Infinity commercial director Maxime Even. “We are being given the opportunity to continue our support in the growing offshore renewables sector, contributing to the overall global energy transition. This has always been our goal and is a huge win for us.”

DBS includes two sites, DBS East and DBS West, more than 100km off the northeast coast of England on Dogger Bank, a shallow area of the North Sea.

RWE leads the project development, construction, and operations on behalf of both RWE and Masdar.

The next step for Masdar is the submission of a Development Consent Order application, expected in the second quarter of 2024. If successful, subsequent steps will include securing Contracts for Difference, followed by financing, construction, and commissioning by 2031.

SAILDRONE UNVEILS LATEST VESSEL

Saildrone, a US specialist in real-time maritime intelligence through small uncrewed systems, has unveiled the latest addition to its fleet.

With a keel and bulb fabricated out of one piece of aluminium – which Saildrone believes to be the largest single chunk of the metal cut in the world – the Surveyorclass unmanned surface vehicle SD-3000 Surveyor is 20 metres in length, a reduction of two metres from the previous version,Voyager

“Minimising metal on metal in salt water is more fail safe,” said Brian Connon, VP of Ocean Mapping for Saildrone and a former captain in the US Navy. “We are very excited about it – we took what we learned from the prototype, optimised the hull, shortened it and went with a yacht designer to streamline it through the water.

”It is 25% faster, and we have upgraded the survey equipment which has increased the amount of the ocean bed that we can map at any one time.”

Connon believes that recent reluctance shown by developers for offshore wind – manifested by firms like Vattenfall and Orsted delayingprojects or cancelling them altogether – was in a way a necessary reset.

”I think it’s a positive thing because it’s causing a reset,” he said. ”We now have a better understanding of what it’s going to take to deliver and developers are taking more time.”

Saildrone, whose three main markets are offshore wind, defence and ocean sciences, is also part of the Seabed 2030 project, which is aiming to map the entire ocean bed by 2030.

Connon believes a quarter of this has now been achieved, and one of the most surprising finds made by Saildrone has been a 1,000m sea mound off California (see graphic), which no one knew existed.

“It’s about putting more eyes and ears in the ocean,” Connon said. ”All of our vehicles use wind power with electric

thrusters as well as a Yanmar diesel engine. The key thing is being able to charge the batteries on it – that’s why they can stay on the ocean for up to two years.”

In fact it is the marine growth that necessitates bringing the vessels back, he said.

Saildrone currently has 100 Explorer hulls in its fleet, with 50 of them at sea at any one time. There aer 30 Voyager hulls, with 15 deployed, and the latest Surveyor is undergoing sea trials.

AUTONOMOUS USVs WILL LEAD BLUE ECONOMY

As the ‘blue economy’ drives the potential of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) in reducing human labour and improving ocean productivity, Matthew Ratsey, managing director of Zero USV, highlights the untapped potential of USVs, foreseeing their dominance in marine surveys and mapping operations.

With the blue economy projected to reach £3.2 billion (€3.7 billion) by 2050, various industries are racing to implement more efficient ocean monitoring techniques. Offshore renewables, driven by the quest for Net Zero and energy security, are experiencing exponential growth. For instance, global offshore wind capacity is expected to increase tenfold by 2030, requiring extensive and accurate seafloor data for installation, a demand met by the marine survey and mapping industry.

USVs are proving their capability in handling complex tasks and challenging environments, enhancing productivity and safety while reducing costs. Regulatory frameworks and technical innovations are steadily overcoming barriers to USV operations, particularly for offshore surveys.

Zero USV has pioneered fully autonomous USVs, distinct from remotely operated vessels.

Major improvements in GPU (Graphic Processor Unit) technology have enabled AI to function effectively on small, power-efficient devices mounted on the boats. These advances allow USVs to operate independently without constant satellite connectivity. The development of hybrid powertrains further enhances reliability and power optimization.

Autonomous navigation and data collection have become feasible with low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and hybrid connectivity solutions, reducing operational constraints. The Mayflower Autonomous Ship’s successful transatlantic crossing in 2022 exemplifies the viability of autonomous USVs. Oceanus12, equipped with AI and advanced sensors, can navigate and make real-time decisions autonomously,

collecting valuable oceanographic data. AI enhances survey operations by automating data collection, optimizing routes, and improving operational efficiency, thereby reducing costs and human error. USVs, equipped with advanced sensors like Navtech’s radar offer improved situational awareness. Their lighter payload and reliance on solar energy reduce carbon emissions and extend operational ranges.

As AI continues to advance, the integration of USVs in marine surveys will increase, transforming the industry by improving efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. The future of ocean exploration will increasingly involve autonomous vessels operating over the horizon, navigating the furthest corners of our seas.

Partnership looks to strengthen autonomy

Two firms have formed a partnership that will see greater autonomy and security on uncrewed surface vessels.

Defence technology innovator BlueHalo and maritime tech firm Kraken Technology Group, plan to integrate BlueHalo’s autonomous systems into Kraken’s littoral security platforms.

This collaboration aims to develop advanced uncrewed surface vehicles (USV) and uncrewed surface/sub-surface vehicles (USSV) with multi-domain capabilities.

The partnership will see BlueHalo’s autonomous innovations embedded within Kraken’s vessels, such as the K3 SCOUT USV, K4 MANTA USSV, and K5 KRAKEN Gunship. These integrations are expected to advance maritime autonomy and

address critical national security priorities.

Additionally, BlueHalo will incorporate its Titan and SkyView RF-based counteruncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) technologies into Kraken’s portfolio, enhancing maritime UAS detection and defence capabilities.“

“This expansion into the maritime domain is one of several initiatives we have been planning as part of our long-term strategic vision,” said Jonathan Moneymaker, BlueHalo Chief Executive Officer. “The ability to rapidly and seamlessly adapt current leading technologies to adjacent domains allows us to out-innovate adversaries and extend BlueHalo’s ring of protection.

“Kraken’s innovative spirit and passion for customer success align directly with our

DNA and we are excited to be bringing these disruptive offerings to the mission.”

The BlueHalo AI/ML-backed autonomous platform will be central to Kraken’s USV and USSV operations, maintaining situational awareness, directing autonomous maritime controllers, enabling multi-vessel swarming, and supporting hybrid maritime and land operations.

Kraken’s track record includes rapidly developing scalable littoral platforms like the K3 SCOUT, a low-cost, high-performance USV for commercial and military use; the K4 MANTA, a scalable platform capable of covert operations; and the K5 KRAKEN, a high-performance gunship designed for precision engagement in defence of littoral and afloat assets.

DEAL SIGNED TO DEVELOP AUTONOMOUS FERRIES

Norwegian ferry operator Torghatten will work with Kongsberg Maritime to develop a system for self-driving car ferries.

Part of the Norwegian highway network, County Road 715, the service will operate between Rørvik and Flakk.

Auto docking, auto crossing, collision avoidance and situational awareness capabilities will all be installed in the vessels owned by Torghatten in a bid to reduce fuel consumption, improve safety and punctuality and optimise staffing.

“The ferry industry has several challenges where autonomous processes can be part of the solution,” said Torghatten’s technology director, Jan-Egil Wagnild.

“We have several industrial environments in Norway that are at the forefront internationally in the field of maritime autonomy. Now there’s another platform where the key players can test new technologies in operational conditions and commercialise these solutions.”

Autonomous solutions can help increase safety and operational efficiency. In addition, autonomy can be a natural step forward to give the crew additional support systems to improve their everyday working life

One benefit is the need for fewer staff given the chronic shortage of seafarers in today’s world.

“Autonomous solutions can help increase safety and operational efficiency. In addition, autonomy can be a natural step forward to give the crew additional support systems to improve their everyday working life,” said Mariann Grønseth, managing director of Torghatten.

Kongsberg Maritime says it has proved its autonomus and remote technologies on several pilot projects on inland and coastal vessels.

“The basic technology is already in place with us, but for it to be optimised and further developed, we are dependent on rolling it out on commercial vessels and building an industry around what can be commercialised for a global market,” said Pål André Eriksen, senior vice president, Remote & Autonomous Solutions for Kongsberg Maritime.

“We are very optimistic about this project and look forward to it giving a positive boost to the maritime authorities’ work to adapt the regulations. This will facilitate a smoother development of the autonomy industry in Norway and create new opportunities for growth and innovation also beyond Norway’s borders.”

DRILLING BEGINS ON ROTTERDAM’S CO2 CAPTURE

Drilling has started beneath the seawall at Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte in the Porthos project, aimed at storing around 37 million tonnes of CO2 in depleted North Sea gas fields over the next 15 years.

The aim of the Porthos project (Port of Rotterdam CO2 Transport Hub and Offshore Storage) is to use Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to return CO2, produced through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil, to depleted North Sea gas fields.

It is part of the Netherlands’ climate objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% in 2030 compared with 1990 and be climate neutral by 2050.

Around 14% of the country’s CO2 emissions originate from the Rotterdam port area and CCS is widely considered to be the fastest way to substantially reduce them for a relatively low cost, allowing the chemical sector, hydrogen producers and oil refineries to reduce the impact of emissions in the short term while developing longer-term objectives of sustainability.

The Porthos project will store about 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year for 15 years, reducing CO2 emissions from Rotterdam’s port industry by around 10%.

Partnership

Porthos is a Dutch partnership between Port of Rotterdam Authority, energy network operator Gasunie and energy transition specialist EBN, each contributing their respective expertise in the local situation and market, experience with gas infrastructure and transport and expertise in deeper soil layers and offshore infrastructure.

The CO2 will flow along a 30km long collective pipeline from the Botlek area through Europoort to a compressor station at Maasvlakte. The pipeline passes through energyintensive areas including Shell’s Pernis complex, Europe’s largest oil refinery, and similar industrial plants at Europoort.

The collected CO2 will flow in a gaseous state at a pressure of 35 bar through the pipeline, which has a diameter of around 108cm. The pipeline itself is housed in the existing pipeline corridor and entrenched section by section, the corridor ranging in width from 10m to 45m.

Various companies will supply CO2, terminating at Maasvlakte, where it will be pressurised by three compressors to a maximum of 130 bar. It will then flow to a platform 22km offshore and pumped into an empty gas field situated in a sealed reservoir of porous sandstone more than 3km beneath the North Sea.

The gas arrives at the offshore P18-A platform through a 40cm pipeline in a gaseous state with the characteristics of a liquid. P18-A is a former gas platform and will be re-used to store the CO2 , the platform fitted with facilities necessary for transporting it to the injection wells. Various technical systems will be installed to monitor and remotely control the system.

For millions of years CO2 was hermetically trapped under high pressure, the pressure gradually decreasing as gas was extracted. This pressure will rise again as CO2 is injected and the reservoir will be constantly monitored and checked to ensure that local pressure never exceeds the values recorded when gas extraction first started.

The shoreside compressor station itself at Maasvlakte has a surface area of roughly 2ha, the entire site supplied with power from an electrical substation. The pumping station houses the cooling water pumps that are used to cool the compressors.

Drilling

Following a period of preparation there is now a period of what is described as a “noticeable start” to construction of the infrastructure, with the first drilling of a tunnel under the seawall on the Maasvlakte.

A drill of more than 300mm diameter was used to dig under the seawall to just beneath the seabed. The tunnel will be widened to around 1,500mm for a casing tube of around 800mm diameter and will accommodate the gas pipeline within the tunnel.

The casing tube, with an overall length of 600m, consists of 34 pipes that have now been welded together. The casing tube will then be pushed down the drill hole from the landward side. The CO2 pipeline itself is expected to be led through the casing tube some time in 2025.

Work will continue on the CO2 pipeline itself at other locations in the port of Rotterdam, the subterranean tubing system transecting multiple waterways, train tracks and roads in the port area. The actual Porthos project is expected to be operational in 2026.

• Accurate USBL, LBL and hybrid positioning of underwater assets, navigation for divers

• Modem emulator and multiple cost-saving developer tools

• Sonobot 5 - the autonomous surface vehicle for bathymetry, monitoring, search & rescue, and AUV support

• Quadroin - the novel bionic AUV for surveys and monitoring

Shearwater Marine Services has showcased its breadth of underwater problem solving by addressing an ongoing challenge of underwater acoustic tiling for the Ministry of Defence.

Military submarines are typically covered in acoustic tiles to reduce their sonar signature and hence their detectability, but the tiles, which are glued to the hull surface in their thousands, often detach. Replacing them is a regular, difficult and expensive task.

With dry docking not an option and temporary fixes insufficient, Shearwater Marine Services developed a solution to control the underwater environment and ensure tile adhesive curing.

The solution involved the creation of an underwater ‘dry space’ for divers to work in, with environmental monitoring and CCTV surveillance to ensure optimal application conditions. The outcome, claims Shearwater, was a significant improvement in adhesion strength over conventional in-water applications, offering a new standard for underwater acoustic tiling.

The project faced several obstacles, including limited information on tiling application, restraining methods, environmental parameters, availability of

SHEARWATER SHOWCASES DRY SPACE UNDERWATER SOLUTION

testing facilities, and requisite training. The principal challenge was creating and maintaining an environment suitable for tile application that had never been attempted before. Testing parameters were challenging to define, but Shearwater’s in-house testing facility, dive tanks, 30m dive sites and training vessel enabled the exact testing conditions required on-site to be replicated.

After exploring various solutions, including industry-standard hydro boxes, Shearwater

decided to construct a dry space for the diver to work in a controlled, dry environment. This dry space was equipped with an environmental monitor and CCTV, allowing certified trainers and supervisors to oversee the application process. The dry space was designed and built in-house using aluminium and CE-approved in the company’s execution-class workshop.

Initial tests were conducted on the surface with a qualified applicator before progressing to sea trials, where QinetiQ was used to ensure procedural compliance and data collection.

The results were nearly identical to those of dry dock application. In contrast, in-water trials not using the dry space showed significant loss in adhesion strength compared to surface application, highlighting the effectiveness of the dry space solution.

By creating a controlled dry space underwater, the company has not only overcome the limitations of traditional tiling methods but also demonstrated a potential model for other underwater engineering tasks.

METHANOL SAFETY: OVERLOOKED IN TODAY’S FUELS RACE

As the race to find the ideal future fuel heats up, so does the need to make sure fire safety systems are suitable for the new chemistries.

Everyone knows the race for alternative fuels is well under way, with one of the leading contenders on many operators’ lips being methanol – it’s far more energy dense than, say, hydrogen, so it doesn’t need as much storage space; it has reduced emissions; can be made from a number of different sources; has a lower flammability than diesel; and so on.

But operators do not realise, says safety equipment company Survitec, that traditional fire-fighting methods will not be suitable in the event of a methanol fire.

A lot of work has been going in to methanol, with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges announcing the launch of the first methanol tug, Methatug, last week, and Van Oord unveiling its methanol offshore installation vessel recently.

Vessels being built with methanol capacity are outnumbering forecasts, says Survitec, but there hasn’t been a matching interest in fire-safety testing.

Survitec tests

And this is where the survival technology company has stepped in, with a new fire safety study carried out to assess just that: and it has found that existing fire-fighting methods, such as water mist suppression, do not perform as expected on methanol-fuelled vessels.

“A completely different approach is required if these ships are to remain safe,” said Michal Sadzynski, product manager, Water Mist Systems.

This

finding

indicates that if existing vessels are retrofitted to run on methanol, they would need to overhaul and redesign

their fixed fire-fi

ghting arrangement completely ‘‘

But while there are established fire safety regulations and testing standards for diesel fuels, clear test protocols for alcohol-based fuels such as methanol and ethanol have yet to be developed – although Survitec says for bilge areas, statutory rules have been formulated in IMO MSC.1/Circ. 1621, where an approved alcohol-resistant foam system is required for ships running on methanol.

For the first time, it says, a fixed, low expansion foam system is mandatory under the rules when it comes to protecting machinery space bilges.

“Our tests demonstrate that standard discharge devices do not properly extinguish methanol pool fires in the confined bilge space. It is crucial to deliver properly expanded foam on the methanol pool fire and this is not an easy task within such a narrow space where throw length is limited,” said Maciej Niescioruk, product manager, Foam Systems, Survitec.

“We believe this is a high-risk situation that needs immediate action,” said Sadzynski. “We had to completely

rethink nozzle placement, spacing and other factors to make water mist suppression effective on methanol. For instance, the range for nozzle installation height is much lower than that needed to put out a diesel fire.

“This finding indicates that if existing vessels are retrofitted to run on methanol, they would need to overhaul and redesign their fixed fire-fighting arrangement completely.”

Fire with a difference

Methanol is a methyl alcohol (CH3OH) that burns in a completely different way than hydrocarbon fuels and has a much lower flashpoint of 12°C. For a diesel fire, water mist suppression works in two ways: first, the water droplets take the energy out of the flame when they land on it, evaporating; second, they create a barrier to any new oxygen coming towards the flame, thus suffocating the flame.

As methanol can mix with water, it doesn’t have the same effect – you would need much more to put it out. And the second factor with diesel, where the water forms a barrier to the oxygen, also doesn’t apply because there is oxygen already in the methanol fuel – so it will continue to burn.

Another difference between the two types of fire is the visibility: with diesel, the flame and smoke are usually fairly obvious. But methanol flames are more or less invisible in daylight, and the smoke is also much harder to detect.

Survitec solution

Survitec says it has developed a full system to deal with methanol fires – of which there have not been any recorded yet, thankfully. It has two sensors to detect the barely visible flame and smoke, an automatic watering process, a foam solution and a flooding capability if needed.

With orders for methanol-fuelled newbuilds increasing by 9% in the last 12 months, 2% more than those for LNG-fuelled ships, and analysts suggesting the methanol-fuelled fleet will account for 20mgt by 2028, it doesn’t take a genius to work out that fire safety needs to be understand and installed, and fast.

And when it comes to retrofits, it is highly likely that firefighting arrangements will need to be overhauled and redesigned right away.

8 Tests by Survitec have confirmed that traditional water mist fire suppression mechanisms do not perform as expected on methanol pool fires

Lives at are risk if operators try to ‘cut corners’ on davit inspection, says the boss of Vestdavit.

Davits are used on a range of safety-critical vessels, including lifeboats, workboats, and rapid response craft and are key to the safe carrying of passengers and crew.

‘‘

Just like an elevator in a building, service work should be entrusted to trained and certified technicians from the original equipment manufacturer to safeguard life

“Davit maintenance is therefore an essential safety factor that should not be taken lightly,” said Magnar Bøyum, managing director of Dutch subsidiary Vestdavit.

“Just like an elevator in a building, service work should be entrusted to trained and certified technicians from the original equipment manufacturer to safeguard life.”

SOLAS regulations dictate davits should be

CUTTING CORNERS ON DAVIT CHECKS RISKS LIVES

inspected by ‘certified personnel of either the manufacturer of an authorised service provider’. This came about in 2020 after a series of accidents attributed to faulty release mechanisms, inadequate maintenance of lifeboats and launching equipment, unsafe practices and design faults.

However, Bøyum believes the shipping

industry still has a way to go to live up to this standard, fearing operators may select lower-cost rogue service providers with ‘supposedly-certified technicians who actually lack the necessary competence’.

“Price remains the overriding decision driver when selecting service providers for annual and five-yearly surveys, especially with merchant shipping companies in areas such as ferries and fishing,” he said.

He points out that davit systems can differ widely so it is foolhardy to assume that any davit supplier can certify technicians to work on all systems.

Vestdavit is therefore urging operators to choose OEM-approved technicians with certification from the company’s in-house training programme when scheduling their annual and five-yearly davit checks.

The company can also provide OEM instruction for service partners at its training centres as well as quickly provide genuine, tested components with a 24 turnaround if stock is available.

Fatigue, regularly passing too close to land and a lack of procedure led to a ferry grounding that injured 41 people, a report has found.

The roll-on/roll-off ferry Alfred grounded on the east coast of Swona Island, Pentland Firth, in Scotland in July 2022, injuring passengers and crew and also damaging the vessel’s port bulbous bow.

Three issues were identified by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB): fatigue leading to ‘loss of awareness at a critical point in the vessel’s passage’; ‘passing too close to land’; and ‘lack of assurance that procedures were being followed’.

“On the afternoon of 5 July 2022, the master almost certainly fell asleep and allowed the ferry to swing towards land,” said Andrew Moll, chief inspector of Marine Accidents.

“Alfred’s master routinely operated very close to the coast, leaving little margin for error when they found themselves in an unsafe situation. Regardless of the type of vessel you are operating, it is critical that a safe passage plan is made and that it is followed.

“Crew should always be sufficiently well rested when coming on duty.”

41 INJURED IN FERRY GROUNDING WHEN MASTER ASLEEP: REPORT

The MAIB has recommended to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency that a review should be made of the exemption given to domestic passenger vessels for carrying voyage data recorders.

Alfred was refloated following the incident

8 Alfred ran aground in July 2022, injuring 41 people and damaging almost all vehicles on board and sailed under her own power back to shore, where she was withdrawn from service for repairs.

A rail and trolley system installed by Goodchild Marine and Harken Safety & Rescue ensures crew cannot fall overboard.

The Port of London Authority made headlines with the UK’s first plug-in diesel hybrid pilot boat Leader, but the vessel’s crew safety considerations were also ground-breaking.

The vessel, built by Goodchild Marine, has batteries that provide enough power for 20 nautical miles at up to 15 knots, with diesel engines capable of boosting speed to 19 knots while charging the batteries and providing propulsion. Along with the unique hybrid technology, the safety of the crew during pilot transfers, inspections, maintenance and general movement on the vessel was paramount.

Goodchild collaborated with Harken Safety & Rescue to install the TR31 Tight Radius rail and trolley system on Leader to act as a movable anchorage point, enabling crew to attach securely to a trolley and move freely around the boat without the risk of falling overboard.

The TR31 system features rails made of high-strength marine grade aluminium, complying with two key Maritime and Coastguard Agency requirements. The trolleys, tested to withstand loads of up to 1200kg (2645 lb), ensure maximum safety. The system’s rails can be bent to accommodate

directional changes up to a 350mm radius without compromising the trolley’s operation over tight radii and joints.

On Leader, the TR31 system was installed around the wheelhouse and at the bow to enhance safety during on-deck activities.

The integration of the system underscores the importance of having a reliable safety mechanism on pilot vessels.

“The Port of London Authority has Harken Safety & Rescue’s safety equipment fitted on many of our boats and craft and have never encountered any problems,” said Daniel Harwood, Marine Engineering Superintendent at the PLA. “We have found them to be very professional and their products are high quality.

“In the case of Leader, the safety rails were professionally custom bent to match the profile of the boat. This means the finished rail has fewer joins for a smoother system for the carriages to run on and this is a positive aspect which improves the use for crew and pilots when they attach.”

CYBER ATTACK: A GROWING MENACE IN MARITIME

With an estimated half of vessel operators being exposed to some form of cyber attack, defence against the onslaught is becoming an essential weapon in the marine armoury.

As head of Haven Knox-Johnston Commercial Malcolm Stewart says in our interview on P166, cyber security is now a major part of his insurance business.

And the irony is that if personal data is stolen by hackers it will be the vessel operator and not the hacker that runs the risk of getting prosecuted because of GDPR and government regulations.

In the UK, government-backed scheme Cyber Essentials, launched in tandem with the National Cyber Security Centre, offers a certification called Cyber Essentials Plus to firms that prove they have taken the necessary steps to get protected.

Cyber attacks, it says, can come in many forms, although the majority are quite rudimentary, carried out by unscrupulous individuals with limited skills – the digital equivalent of pushing at a door to see if it’s locked.

However criminal groups are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more capable of stealing money, information, or simply disrupting operations. One of Europe’s largest marina groups, MDL Marinas, has just been awarded Cyber Essentials Plus certificate, which it says ‘shows that MDL Marinas guards against cyber threats’ to protect customer data.

“From its online visitor berthing booking system and Otium Rewards scheme to its new Falco Smart Wireless Technology, MDL Marinas’ operations are increasingly online based,” says the company. “The decision to better secure its IT systems against cyber attacks will prove a vital one as the business moves towards a digital set-up for the majority of its userbased systems.”

“A conservative estimate is that 50% of our clients who have cyber insurance policies in place have used it in one form another, even if they’ve just taken the advice,” says Malcolm Stewart.

MariTrace unveils

With the rise in hacking coming from Russia, North Korea and China, he says, there are suggestions that other attacks are coming from Eastern Europe and Iran.

Key pointers are:

5 Never log on to insecure systems with work equipment

5 Update your systems as per manufacturer guidelines and updates

tracking for small vessels

Reports of attacks on vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea are a stark reminder of the need to ensure vessels are equipped with live tracking for safety and confidence onboard.

While the attacks may be intended to mark out ships with business connections to specific countries, the risks of collateral damage and the real threat to the lives of innocent people are clear across the maritime industry.

Recently, redefined vessel tracking and data intelligence for the maritime sector has hit the market, offering new and improved maritime tracking capabilities for small vessels, including workboats, tugboats, offshore support, and pilot boats.

Unlike existing commercial or merchant

shipping vessel tracking devices that are only available with large fleets, Mercury – a new tracking device by global maritime intelligence firm MariTrace, - is compatible with all small vessels that have NMEA, power, and internet connection.

Mercury allows users to securely view live and historic positions of the vessel, far surpassing the tracking data usually provided by AIS alone.

Relayed in an intuitive MariTrace map interface or API, existing GPS and AIS data is securely and directly visible only to the owner of that vessel. The highly granular transmission provides a GPS position once per minute as default, with the ability to increase the frequency as required, far exceeding shoreside AIS monitoring

capabilities across the current market. Using small vessels’ network integration systems – compatible with NMEA 0183/2000 – Mercury gives customers the option to share the vessel’s positions with other authorised users, such as from pilot boats to their outbound ships, or from tugs to the vessel it’s assisting, as well as vessel insurers, security teams and crew.

Mercury has been developed with discretion in mind, designed to be concealed, compact, and easy to install. The advanced technology not only detects loss of connectivity but is designed with ultimate connectivity, caching the vessel’s position in the event of an internet drop, even when AIS data transmissions are unavailable, for automatic and on-demand downloads.

RISING CLAIMS MEAN INSURANCE MUST BE SHIPSHAPE

Vessel insurance has to be shipshape to avoid crippling penalties, says head of Haven

Knox-Johnston Commercial Malcolm Stewart in an interview with Maritime Journal, with claims for corporate manslaughter being a very real possibility. He gives his tips on avoiding disaster.

As the value of claims has risen steeply over the past five years, it is more important than ever to make sure any claims have the right amount of insurance to cover potential payouts.

Yet despite the risks, vessel operators and owners are sometimes falling short of managing them, says Stewart.

Vessels are actually safer than ever before, he says, but there are more of them and they are far more complicated.

“We do see a fair amount of under-insurance, particularly as in the last four or five years, the value of claims has gone up perhaps quicker than vessel owners realise,” he says. “So in the event of a claim, the value of the claim can outweigh the value on the policy, or what’s been declared on renewal.

“As tedious as it might be, looking through the detail on a regular basis is really important.”

Regulations have become more onerous and this is particularly true in the offshore wind industry, which is no longer a ’cottage industry’.

“Vessels have become more complicated and more onerous regulations in some ways makes insurance claims harder to deal with,” he says. ”We’ve got to check coding, we’ve got to check safety, we’ve got to check paperwork. Ten to 15 years ago the offshore renewables industry wasn’t very highly regulated – but it’s not a burgeoning industry any more, it’s a highly technical, professional industry. Even getting the boats out of the water can cost a couple of grand.”

Operators also need to be aware that different countries have different requirements, and in the US they can vary from state to state. Brokers can help here.

Personal injury

By far the most expensive and numerous claims are for personal injury, says Stewart, with vessel damage and so on taking up about 35%, personal injury the rest.

“Assets are fairly straight forward. Boat builders can fix a hole. Components can be replaced. But the liability aspect is far more difficult and a lot of the claims are starting at half a billion.

”Keeping people safe is why we spend a lot of time talking to clients about risk management. If a young person gets injured, you have to look after them for the rest of their life. If a boat sinks, that’s bad for business, it might cause disruption for 12 months or so, but if you injure somebody – well that’s the conversation we have to have.”

Stewart says that the corporate manslaughter law came as a result of the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster, when the Townsend Thoresen ferry capsized after leaving the Belgian port of Zeebrugge in 1987, killing 193 passengers and crew.

The vessel left port with her bow door open, which let the sea in and immediately flooded the decks.

The disaster also prompted the creation of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, he says.

“Ultimately in that case the court case fizzled out, but there have been a couple of instances in the leisure

commercial world where corporate manslaughter charges have been brought,” Stewart says.

Cyber security

One rapidly emerging threat is to cyber security, Stewart says, for which insurance is also available.

”Cyber is a big part of our business now,” he says. ”The vast majority of our clients have had some sort of hacking issue, and cyber insurance will cover any fines.

“Russia, China and North Korea are the main culprits, no longer Nigeria – which used to be a big one. It’s unbelievable, the amount of activity we hear about, and the Iranians are also starting to get involved. And you can’t see it – it’s not like a fire or a flood, the data has just gone.

”We’ve got a couple of clients who have done absolutely nothing wrong, but they’ve had the full force of the Kremlin attack them.”

Again, there is cover for this if paperwork is up to date and risk has been managed as well as possible. There are also safety measures to prevent hacking in the first place, with simple steps like changing passwords regularly a good idea.

“At the end of the day, we thoroughly recommend that you sit down and understand what you are insured for, and what happens if you get that wrong,” says Stewart. “Get a cup of tea and a cake, and read your paperwork for half an hour.”

Two of the biggest names in maritime have announced a joint financing facility specifically aimed at workboats.

Damen Financial Services has joined forces with Siemens Financial Services through the Damen Ship Lease (DSL). which is managed by Damen, to provide current and prospective vessel owners with options to expand their fleets.

DSL was actually set up 12 years ago and has already provided financing to more than 100 vessels, generating more than half a billion euros in sales value for Damen Shipyards, it says.

“DSL’s approach is characterised by offering leasing solutions to customers that are in the start-up or scale-up phase. With limited down payment requirements, lessees are given the opportunity to build their businesses. By participating in the financial risk of a client’s operation, DSL demonstrates its confidence in the possibilities for its clients to operate efficiently using Damen vessels.”

Siemens Financial Services is the financing arm of the energy company, offering options for refinancing, renewing, replacing or expanding fleets or making them ‘more sustainable and efficient’.

“This strategic alliance enables them to

Jan De Nul Group ended 2023 ‘far exceeding expectations’ thanks to a strong performance in its maritime divisions.

Turnover stood at a record €2.9 billion with 77% of that figure achieved by maritime activities such as dredging, cable installation and port infrastructure projects.

The group reported a 39% increase in EBITDA to €610 million resulting in a profit of €296 million. It starts 2024 with an unprecedented order book of €8.9 billion, an increase of 38% year-on-year.

Taking receipt of its next-gen offshore installation vessels, Les Alizés and Voltaire, enabled the group to transport and install 277 turbines for the Dogger Bank A, B an C offshore wind farms, as well as transport and install the foundation and offshore substation at Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 in Germany.

The group also laid a 33 kV interconnector cable between the Hoy and the Scottish mainland as well as place on order for a new cable-laying vessel – the Fleeming Jenkin – with an unmatched capacity of 28,000 tonnes.

Several major projects are in the pipeline, including an agreement with RWE for the long-term chartering of its next-gen

PLASTIC: THE POISON IN OUR OCEANS

Initially hailed as the wonder material of the 21st century, plastic surged in production from a mere five million tonnes in the 1960s to a whopping 460 million by 2019.

Its resilience, adaptability and lightweight properties contributed to its widespread adoption, but this has also resulted in the scourge of plastic pollution.

While international regulations exist to control intentional or accidental discharge of plastic from ships, there is an issue with enforcement, says Emma Forbes-Gearey, Loss Prevention Officer at West P&I Club.

Most (80%) of marine plastic debris originates from landbased sources like waste and litter, but the remaining 20% is down to shipping, whether it is accidental ship discharges, ship waste or the loss of fishing gear.

These plastics affect human health, aquatic ecosystems, and maritime industries such as sustainable fishing.

Lost fishing gear, or ‘ghost gear’, can affect shipping through delays and potential navigation hazards, such as plastic jamming the propellors, rudders and thrusters of a vessel.

Being largely buoyant, plastic drifts with the prevailing currents and winds, accumulating in spiralling ocean currents and ultimately leading to vast expanses of floating plastic litter like the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in the Atlantic, which is 4.5 times the size of Germany.

And floating plastic is only the tip of the rubbish pile.

The United Nations Environment Program estimates that approximately 15% of marine litter floats on the sea surface, 15% stays in the water column, and the rest remains on the seabed.

Plastic endurance

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one plastic bottle can take about 450 years to decompose. A fishing line can last for up to 600 years.

Most plastics undergo gradual breakdown caused by ocean currents, UV radiation, wind and other natural elements. Over time, these plastics fragment into tiny particles known as microplastics (less than 5mm), which are readily ingested by marine organisms.

The Environmental Investigation Agency warns that by 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans. The UN Environment Programme estimates that at least 51 trillion microplastic particles could already be in the oceans.

When exposed to environmental toxins, they can absorb up to a million times more toxic chemicals than the surrounding water. There is research to show that toxic chemicals from plastics have already entered the human food chain, raising concerns about potential health issues.

So, with the challenges clear, is the current regulation up to the task?

Regulations

For almost 30 years, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex V has banned all ships from rubbish disposal.

The IMO then adopted an action plan to improve the effectiveness of port reception facilities. And guidelines for MARPOL Annex V to address single-use plastics onboard ships were developed and adopted in 2017.

Another significant regulatory framework is the London Dumping Convention, founded in 1972, aimed at preventing the intentional dumping of waste or other substances from ships into the sea, except for those on the “reserve list,” which excludes persistent plastics.

Deliberate dumping or discarding of fishing nets and other equipment is prohibited unless necessary for the safety of the vessel or human life.

Monitoring and enforcing the ban on plastic pollution in international waters is a challenge. Flag states often need more motivation, and there are no compelling incentives to prompt vessels to retrieve abandoned gear encountered while fishing.

Promising signs

Nevertheless, there are promising examples of initiatives from countries and organisations addressing these concerns.

For instance, Canada has enforced mandatory reporting of gear loss and mandates specific gear marking to enable traceability back to individual vessels, thus enhancing accountability.

The Thai Union, a major seafood company, enforces requirements for tuna suppliers to mark non-biodegradable equipment.

Plastic pollution from cargo or fishing gear is on par with oil pollution and is in some ways worse because it takes hundreds of years to break down.

Regulations are yet to address the issue aggressively, but recent developments suggest regulatory changes are coming in to tackle this issue.

In March 2022, the UN Environment Assembly created international legislation that would be legally binding on plastic pollution, with sections focusing on the marine environment. The completion date for the treaty negotiations should be December 2024, although details regarding the final content are unknown.

In a separate development, the International Maritime Organisation has agreed on draft recommendations for transporting plastic pellets on ships. These considerations were submitted to the Marine Environment Protection Committee for approval in their next meeting.

TIGHT TURNAROUND FOR NAVAID REPLACEMENT

Isle of Wight based workboat and special vehicle and plant charter company Rebel Marine recently completed a critical and time-sensitive project in Cowes Harbour: replacing a lost navigation mark.

The entire process, from contract award to project completion, spanned just 30 hours.

The task involved replacing a navigation mark that had been positioned on top of a pole at the end of a concrete and stone jetty for many years. Given the low water in spring’s vernal equinox, the tidal window for executing the project was extremely short. The site, in a busy part of Cowes town, presented access challenges due to its proximity to a popular area.

A new navigation mark had to be fabricated from steel and painted. This included a new galvanized metal pole and a metal box section to secure it to the jetty. The Rebel Marine team constructed, prepped and painted the mark, ensuring it was ready for immediate installation.

Because of the site’s limited access, the navigation mark was loaded onto Rebel’s crane trailer, with additional equipment transported on its Iveco flatbed truck. The lowest tide, predicted at 18:30, dictated the timing of the operation. The company positioned everything needed in Cowes town centre, ready for when the tide exposed the exact location on the jetty.

The jetty itself was long, narrow, and gradually sloped towards the water. To facilitate the transportation of the new mark, Rebel Marine constructed a temporary ramp using non-slip grating. This ramp allowed a team to utilize the Hoeflon TC1 track carrier to move the heavy mark along the jetty. Once positioned at the end of the jetty, Rebel’s Hoeflon C1e tracked crane was employed to lift and lower the mark into place, securing it firmly onto its concrete base.

As daylight waned, the team relied on the SMC TL55 solar

To transport the new mark, Rebel Marine built a temporary ramp, which allowed a team to utilize the Hoeflon TC1 track carrier to move the heavy mark along the jetty. Once positioned at the end of the jetty, Rebel’s Hoeflon C1e tracked crane was employed to lift and lower the mark into place, securing it firmly onto its concrete base

light tower to illuminate the work site, enabling safe and efficient operations after dark. Both the Hoeflon TC1 and C1e are fully electric and remote-controlled, offering quiet operation and zero CO2 emissions. This makes them ideal for use in confined spaces and residential areas, particularly during non-standard working hours. The SMC TL55, capable of running up to 500 hours on mains charge or 8 hours on solar power alone, ensured no noisy generators were required.

After the new navigation mark was securely installed, the Rebel Marine team swiftly dismantled the temporary ramp and cleared the site. The new mark now stands ready to guide boaters safely for many years to come.

MERCY SHIPS SIGNS DEAL FOR NEW HOSPITAL SHIP

A new ship for the global hospital ship charity Mercy Ships will bring the number of vessels to three.

Seawork charity partner Mercy Ships – the world-famous ship hospital charity – is to get a new hospital ship to deliver vital surgical care and training across sub-Saharan Africa.

A partnership among MSC Foundation, MSC Group and Mercy Ships International has finalised a project to build the ship, which will accommodate 600 crew members and guests as well as house a hospital spanning two decks and 7,000 square metres.

Six operating rooms will be included along with a fully equipped laboratory and training facilities to bring surgery to the region for 10 months, which is the typical length of the charity’s field service.

Three sister ships

The charity’s existing ship Global Mercy has been serving in Sierra Leone since August 2023 and has announced an extension to the 10-month stay after a maintenance break next month. She will return to Free Town in August 2024 to continue providing surgical care and giving education.

Africa Mercy is in Madagascar until December 2024 and anticipates carrying out more than 1,000 surgeries on board.

The project for the third sister ship was signed off in April by MSC Group Chairman Capt. Gianluigi Aponte, MSC Group President Diego Aponte, and Mercy Ships Founder Don Stephens, who said it marked a significant commitment to enhancing healthcare access in the region.

Reflecting on his experiences in the Horn of Africa, Capt. Aponte emphasised the project’s personal significance.

“Improving healthcare availability brings lasting impact,” he said. “Our partnership with Mercy Ships has already yielded extraordinary results, and this new ship will expand our support.”

Mercy Ships, founded in 1978, has performed more than 117,000 specialised surgeries, including maxillofacial reconstructions and burn contracture releases.

The organisation also focuses on surgical education, having trained more than 54,300 local professionals.

The new ship, designed similarly to the Global Mercy, will feature extensive training spaces, enhancing Mercy Ships’ capacity to support host nations’ healthcare systems.

Critical need

Highlighting the critical need for surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa, Sierra Leone’s Vice President Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh recently noted the region’s 91% unmet surgical needs. Mercy Ships’ expanded fleet aims to address these gaps, with the new vessel playing a key role.

Diego Aponte expressed his long-standing passion for Africa and commitment to Mercy Ships’ mission.

“Mercy Ships provides tangible support to thousands of families,” he said. “With MSC’s presence in Africa, we have a duty to give back to local communities.”

Since 2011, MSC has supported Mercy Ships with logistical aid, ensuring the continuous delivery of essential supplies. The new ship, developed with MSC’s technical knowhow, will enhance operational efficiency.

Mercy Ships now operates two hospital ships, the Africa Mercy and the Global Mercy. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has had one to three ships in service.

“At Seawork we are delighted to have Mercy Ships as our charity partner,” said Andrew Webster, CEO of Mercator Media, the organisers of Seawork. “We hope that this partnership raises awareness of the amazing work that these hospital ships and their volunteer crew achieve.”
