THE BIRTH OF OFFSHORE WIND IN POLAND In July 2020 representatives of the Polish government and Polish wind energy industry signed a "Letter of Intent on cooperation for development of offshore wind power in Poland".

The letter defines the next steps in a collaboration to jointly develop a strong wind industry in Poland.

Poland's expansion targets for offshore wind are ambitious.

Poland doesn't yet have any offshore wind farms. But by 2030 they aim to have installed 3.8GW of offshore wind - with 10GW of new capacity awarded CfDs by then. And by 2050 they want a massive 28GW, which would make Poland the largest operator of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. “The potential for offshore wind in the Baltic is immense, and the Polish wind industry is ready to get started. Wind will contribute to a more modern, independent and healthy Poland.

It will strengthen cooperation in the Baltic Sea region. And it will create future-proof Polish jobs in the manufacturing, service, maritime and port industries”, said Giles Dickson, CEO of trade body WindEurope.

The letter is an important step towards Poland's first “Offshore Wind Act” which is being prepared by the Government and is expected to enter into force in 2020.

COVID CREW CHANGE ISSUE PROGRESS An Industry Group comprising IADC, IAGC, IMCA, IOGP, ISOA and the Workboat Association has applauded a 'breakthrough' made at a recent virtual summit.

At the summit, hosted by the UK Government on 9 July, 12 other governments also pledged their support for actions needed to ensure the welfare of the world's seafarers during the Covid-19 pandemic, including making sure that crew changes can take place in a safe and timely manner.

The government representatives at the summit expressed support for recommendations made by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed in consultation with industry groups, which encourage all IMO Member States to support

crew changes by implementing measures to facilitate movement of key personnel notwithstanding the tightened border restrictions imposed due to the pandemic.

The Industry Group recognises the initiative the UK Government has shown and thanks the UK and the other 12 governments for the support demonstrated by their

joint statement, and also recognises the support given by the international agencies involved. The Group hopes that this will now encourage other governments to support this cause and help overcome the issues which continue to impact crew changes causing concern for all seafarers and offshore energy workers globally.

SHIPBUILDER BEHIND 30-YEAR ATLANTIC RECORD

BRIEFS Really motoring

Photo: Incat

Three ships built by an Australian shipbuilder have together clocked up a 30-year stake on a trophy for the fastest commercial passenger ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Built by Incat Tasmania, the 74m long Hoverspeed Great Britain (Incat hull number 025) was the first Incat-built vessel to claim the Hales Trophy in June 1990 with its crossing from New York to England's Bishop Rock in 3 days, 7 hours and 54 minutes. This year marks 30 years since the event.

Two Incat built ships have since shaved time off the 1990 Transatlantic record. They are the 91m long Catalonia (Incat 047) in June 1998 and the 91m long Incat Catlink V (Incat hull 049) in July 1998. The 2 day 20 hours and 9 minute record set by the Danish Catlink V is still held today.

The Hales Trophy is awarded for crossing the Atlantic Ocean at the "highest average speed". This means high speed needs to be maintained over the entire

crossing and the voyage must be undertaken without re-fuelling.

The record-breaking Incat ships were fast due to lightweight aluminium construction utilising revolutionary wavepiercing technology with the advantages of low-buoyancy, long and slender hulls in catamaran form.

While a long narrow hull will slice through waves rather than ride over them, in large sea

The Incat wavepiercer lessens this by including a centre bow, normally clear of the water, which increases buoyancy during these events thus preventing serious nose-diving at high speed or in high seas.

PROFILE

FERHAT ACUNER NAVTEK

It may have helped “realise a revolution” Ferhat Acuner of Navtek told MJ, but the groundbreaking Zeetug project nearly didn't happen.

It started with two - superficially straightforward - renewal requests he explained: Gisaş Shipbuilding asked for harbour tugs that were both “lower emissions... and smaller” than its previous fleet, since the yard's tugboats have to meet a rising environmental awareness along with a particularly tight operating environment inside the Port of Istanbul.

Unfortunately, these turned out to be conflicting demands: despite a growing utilisation of diesel-battery configurations for tugs and a number of clean-tech add-ons, Navtek's initial R&D studies showed fulfilling the contract “wasn't possible with hybrid or diesel power solutions”, he remarked.

That was when a young design engineer proposed a fully electric, rechargeable solution: “We all objected at first, but he convinced us to run a study,” remembered Acuner.

Despite this, he added: “I confess that during the R&D, I'd been worried the final calculations would show that you couldn't apply the

technology to this type of vessel...” He shouldn't have been concerned: although novel, the figures showed it was doable, and the NV-712 build got underway.

However, realising it took “meticulous engineering”. The main challenge was the sheer scale of the electrical power delivering the 32 tonne bollard pull: in fact, standard switching technology would result in “distribution panels needing more space than the whole ship”, he explained. Usefully, a heavy-duty crossover from the mining industry was found to power the 925kW propulsion motors driving the ABB thrusters below. This, combined with locating the various elements around the vessel and connecting them with single core cables rather than power bars, helped pull it all into the limited footprint offered by the modest, 18.7m long, 6.7m beam tugboat.

All this requires a substantially different developmental approach, said Acuner: he underlined that the most important lesson has been “don't design a conventional diesel drive and then try to convert it.... but start from the very beginning as fully electric”. There were also some useful surprises surrounding predicted efficiency: “During the tests, we noticed that it

I confess that during the R&D, I'd been worried the final calculations would show that you couldn't apply the technology to this type of vessel...He shouldn't have been concerned: although novel, the figures showed it was doable, and the NV-712 build got underway needed less energy to complete an operation than we'd calculated,” he remarked.

Despite its success, Zeetug's implications reach further than this first vessel, (which, he added, is “performing excellently” for Gisaş) or even the next three now on Navtek's order book.

As Acuner noted, numbers of all-electric vessels are now rising, along with supporting technology: “Words such as 'bunkering', 'fuel rate' and 'fuel treatment' are being exchanged for 'charging station', 'electric power unit price' and 'energy management software',” he concluded.

AFSLUITDIJK REINFORCEMENT USES IMPROVED INTERLOCKING BLOCKS Plans to both strengthen and raise the height of the long Afsluitdijk across the Isselmeer in Holland have seen a contract awarded to a consortium that has started work writes Dag Pike

8 X-BlocPlus has been developed for this project

The consortium, comprising the major construction companies Van Oord, BAM, and Rebel, has been contracted to complete the reinforcement work by 2023. Working under the title of Levvel, the construction consortium has successfully placed the first of the specially designed blocks on the 32km long dam. In total the consortium will be placing 75,000 of these specially designed concrete blocks as part of a major reinforcement project to heighten the dam and to make it more resilient to cope with predicted rising sea levels and to withstand overtopping.

In addition to the placement of the reinforcing blocks on the face of the dyke the contract also includes work on increasing the size and capacity of the drainage pumping station built into the dyke which will allow a higher rate of discharge of the waters of the enclosed Ijsselmeer into the Wadden Sea which is the open sea area adjacent to the dyke. The two sluices that are incorporated into the dyke to allow water to flow in or out will also be replaced.

The concrete blocks being used to reinforce the dyke are being made to a new design that has been developed by Delta Marine Consultants (DMC) which is a subsidiary of BAM. Known

as the Levvel Block after the consortium doing the placement work, these new blocks are the latest version of the X-Bloc armour unit that was also designed by DMC. This original X-bloc has been in use worldwide since 2004 to reinforce and protect breakwaters, dykes and other sea vulnerable structures.

The more advanced version that has been developed is called the X-BlocPlus and it is claimed to have the same capacity of the original blocks to absorb wave impact and protect structures but which uses less concrete. Instead of the blocks being dumped on the slope in an irregular pattern the new blocks will be placed with identical orientation and interlock.

This contract has been placed by the Rijkswaterstaat and is valued at â‚Ź550 million and it includes the maintenance of the Afsluitdijk for 25 years after completion

the-art system for Sofia, one of the world's largest offshore wind farm projects, located on Dogger Bank, the shallow area of the central North Sea, 195 kilometres from the UK coast's nearest point.

As the consortium leader, GE's Grid Solutions will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of two HVDC converter

stations capable of transmitting 1,400 megawatts (MW) of power at 320 kilovolts (kV). Innovative converter modules and a new high-tech control system have been deployed for Sofia. It will be the most powerful offshore converter station ever fabricated and will be installed at a point 220 kilometres from shore, so will also be the most remote.

Helsinki publishes development scenarios

FLOATING ECOSYSTEM LAUNCHES IN LIVERPOOL A new type of floating ecosystem has been launched in Liverpool, UK, which integrates elements of salt marsh and estuarine ecosystems in a unique multilevel habitat.

Anchored in 7m of water, the ecosystem island is based at Wapping Dock in Liverpool's historic waterfront and has been planted with native estuarine plants using Biomatrix Water's unique 5D planting system in a bid to explore the integration of floating ecosystems in saltwater docklands.

The installation is a part of 'Urban GreenUp', a project funded under the European Union's

Horizon 2020 programme in which the city of Liverpool is taking part.

The island "features multiple habitat types including elevated feature planters, lined rainwater catchment planters and submerged shallow gravel pools," according to Biomatrix Water. It also includes submerged fish refuge structures from Ecocean.

Urban GreenUp's objective is the development, application and replication of 'Renaturing Urban Plans' in a number of European and non-European partner cities with the aim of mitigating the effects of climate change, improving air quality and water

management, as well as increasing the sustainability of cities through innovative naturebased solutions.

Liverpool is one of three 'runner' European cities which aims to validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the URBAN GreenUP methodology.

In addition to Biomatrix Water and Liverpool City Council, the Urban Green Up project partners in Liverpool include the Canal & River Trust, Ecocean, WSP and Bluepoint Marine Services Ltd.

In further reinforcement of the truth that the commercial marine world marches onwards whatever the global circumstances, Port of Helsinki has just published three scenarios for the development of its port areas.

The scenario work involved the examination of three different options from the perspective of traffic and travel forecasts, customer views, investment needs, and technological development up until 2040. The scenarios are as follows: 1. Basic scenario: operations continue in the current harbour ports 2. West Harbour scenario: centralisation of the traffic of the centre ports 3. Vuosaari scenario: extension of the port of Vuosaari to become a passenger port If implemented, the scenarios will produce significant differences by 2040. The Basic and West Harbour options are estimated by the Port authorities to be the most viable scenarios.

VALENCIA: PORT OF SAGUNTO DEVELOPMENTS GATHER MOMENTUM In Spain, the President of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), Aurelio Martínez, has announced that "Valenciaport is going to begin studies for the third dock in the Port of Sagunto”.

“The future of Valenciaport's growth lies in Sagunto and we must think about the design of the third basin that we want for the Port of Sagunto to include it in the Strategic Plan", said Aurelio Martínez .

Martínez explained that "given the complexity of the port works and the fact that traffic continues to grow, it is time to start thinking about this third dock to adapt it to the current needs of the market and port activity". The president of the PAV has indicated that "we have received the support of the

mayor of Sagunto to recover the project of the third dock, a proof of the confidence of the City council in this initiative and in the economic activity that the port activity generates".

BRENT ALPHA REMOVAL UTILISES “HORSESHOES” The single-lift removal of Shell U.K. Ltd's Brent Alpha platform from the North Sea has been completed in less than four hours and is the first offshore lift to utilise specially developed “horseshoes”

Photos: Allseas

8 Pioneering Spirit approaching Brent Alpha in the Brent oil and gas field

Located 186 km off the northeast coast of the Shetland Islands in Scotland, Brent Alpha comprised a topsides structure supported by a steel six-legged jacket standing in 140m of water. Several years of planning and 15 months of offshore preparation, including strengthening and cutting the steel jacket's six legs, culminated in the nine-second “fast lift” of the 17,000t topsides by Allseas' heavy lift vessel Pioneering Spirit on 21 June.

The removal of Brent Alpha is the first offshore lift to utilise specially developed “horseshoes”: connection tools that clamp around pre-installed lift points called bearing brackets mounted on the upper sections of the steel jacket's legs.

The Brent Alpha topsides removal project involves engineering, preparation, removal and disposal of the 94m tall, 52m wide structure.

Pioneering Spirit will now deliver the 44-year old structure to Able UK Limited's Teesside decommissioning yard in North East England for dismantling and recycling.

8 The "fast lift" of the 17,000t Brent Alpha topsides took nine seconds

Brent Alpha is the third of four platforms, after Delta (2017) and Bravo (2019), to be decommissioned and removed from the Brent oil and gas field.

For all four jobs, Shell U.K. Limited selected Pioneering Spirit.

Production from the field continues through Brent Charlie, with Pioneering Spirit booked to remove the 34,000t topsides when the platform finally ceases production.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

RED7 JACK-UP BARGE BUSY ON THE THAMES

Photo: PLA

UK marine construction vessel operator Red7Marine, was recently contracted by the Port of London Authority on the Barrier Gardens pier extension in Woolwich

OBSTRUCTIONS Both natural and manmade features were found during the clearance including wires and timber which were expected.

Fortunately, no obstructions that would have caused issues for the main works were found. However, on previous occasions, Red7Marine's findings have been larger, including a 20t concrete block, old timber piles and a Victorian anchor.

The task was completed using a 30t long reach excavator working on Red7Marine's 250T Haven Seariser 4 jack-up barge.

The barge was put into position using survey assistance to ensure the legs did not sit within 5m of any anomalies.

Both pile positions were cleared ahead of the main piling works to minimise the risk of delays to the project before the piling barge arrived on site for the main works. A UXO desktop study and geophysical survey completed in April 2020 highlighted a selection of potential anomalies within the site boundary.

Whilst these anomalies were a set distance from both planned pile locations and jack-up leg positions, there was a risk of potential UXOs within the area. Red7Marine utilised a UXO expert to oversee the pile clearance works in the unlikely event that a UXO was encountered. A UXO brief was also delivered and a site specific UXO emergency response plan produced.

DIRECT DOCKING For the main works, Red7Marine is carrying out the installation of two 38m length piles into the riverbed to support the

16 | JULY 2020

extension which is due to be fully operational later this Summer.

The extension will enable larger vessels, such as PLA flagship, London Titan, to dock directly at the pier, making it quicker and safer for crews to get on and off at the start and end of their shifts.

Kristen Branford, Managing Director at Red7Marine comments: “We have an extensive history of working on the River Thames and we were delighted to support the Port of London Authority on this particular project. Red7Marine supplies a wide range of solutions for civil engineering projects that require piling, from the supply of specialist marine equipment through to turnkey project delivery packages on inland and coastal projects.”

Peter Steen, the PLA's Director of Marine Operations, said: “This is another example of our efforts to promote safe, sustainable use of the river. It adds to the pier's ability to welcome a wide array of other vessels.

It also demonstrates our commitment to help support a green economic recovery, post COVID-19, by rolling out long-term investment projects, which also contribute towards meeting ambitious Net Zero carbon reduction targets on the river.”

As a part of this contract Red7Marine also carried out pile clearance works to ensure the area was safe for piling activity prior to the extension. The purpose of the pile clearance was to remove any natural or man-made obstructions from the riverbed over two locations where the berthing piles for the new pontoon at Barrier Gardens were being installed. This work was imperative as this section of riverbed had been highlighted as an area of risk for unexploded World War Two bombs.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

LIFTING A 2,500 TONNE LOCK GATE In the Belgian port of Zeebrugge the second lock gate has been lifted and moved from the Pierre Vandamme lock to the inner port for renovation In the presence of the Flemish Minister of Mobility and Public Works, Lydia Peeters, and the Port of Zeebrugge, Jan De Nul Group disconnected, lifted and transported the second lock gate on a heavy lift vessel.

SPECTACULAR OPERATION A spectacular operation because the gate weighs over 2,500 tonnes and has the surface of one quarter of a football pitch (60m x 10m x 24m). The work was commissioned by the Flemish Department of Mobility and Public Works and is part of the large-scale renovation of the Pierre Vandamme lock, the crucial point of access to the inner port of Zeebrugge.

The Pierre Vandamme lock dates from 1984 and consists of two lock gates, each with two rolling gates and two movable bridges. The lock gate closest to the sea was lifted from the gate chambers in 2018 and, after having been renovated in the inner port, was re-installed in 2019. Now, the same will be done with the most landward gate.

GULLIVER'S TRAVAILS After six weeks of preparations to make the lock gate ready for lifting, the heavy lift vessel Gulliver of Jan De Nul Group can now lift the door out of its position. The 'Gulliver' is a pontoon derrick that can lift a weight of over 3,300 tonnes. The whole operation is a sequence of several partial operations that have been meticulously planned and prepared. The works started at 3 o' clock at night and will take an estimated 19 hours.

After the renovation work, the lock gate will be transported back to and mounted into the gate chamber.

During the renovation of this lock gate, the Vandamme lock will remain perfectly operational thanks to the three remaining lock gates In March 2018, Jan De Nul Group removed the first lock gate from its position for the same renovation in the inner port. This lock gate was reinstalled in the summer of 2019.

A consortium of Jan De Nul nv, Algemene Ondernemingen Soetaert nv, Almex Metaal and Demako nv will renovate the lock gate in the inner port of Zeebrugge.

Once on land, a scaffold was placed all around the gate to remove oysters and sludge. The consortium will replace several mechanical parts and install new technologies such as a compressor and agitation screws. Also the steel structure will be taken on and adapted, including the installation of four extra butterfly valves. The door will be repainted to protect it against corrosion.

After the renovation work, the lock gate will be transported back to and mounted into the gate chamber. During the renovation of this lock gate, the Vandamme lock will remain perfectly operational thanks to the three remaining lock gates.

€120 MILLION PROJECT Flemish Minister for Mobility and Public Works, Lydia Peeters, is satisfied that the works on the Vandamme lock have been continued amidst the corona crisis, with due respect for the currently very strict safety and hygiene measures. “I want to thank the contractor and all partners involved for this.

Zeebrugge is an important marine intersection as well as a motor for the Flemish economy. Every year, Zeebrugge welcomes about 8,000 ships. The port offers employment to some 10,000 persons. Today, the Pierre Vandamme lock is the only point of access to Zeebrugge's inner port. To warrant the accessibility of the port of Zeebrugge, Flanders invests a total sum of 120 million euro for this renovation!”

Since 2010, structural renovation works to the Pierre Vandamme lock have been executed almost constantly, commissioned by the Mobility and Public Works Department.

The work involves large-scale and highly complex operations, which are only possible thanks to the close cooperation between different partners. The Mobility and Public Works Department is the Client. Within the Temporary Trade Association Jan De Nul - Soetaert - Almex - Demarko, Jan De Nul Group is responsible for the renovation works on this lock gate. Other stakeholders are: several divisions of the Mobility and Public Works Department and multiple external parties such as the engineering office SBE, SECO, the port authority Zeebrugge (MBZ) and 'De Vlaamse Waterweg'.

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY

SURVEY KEY TO OFFSHORE WIND FARM SITE SELECTION According to Applied Acoustic Engineering, one of the critical elements in site selection for offshore windfarms is the evaluation of the presence of any geological restrictions Prior to the construction of an offshore wind facility, site characterisation surveys are required to evaluate the impact of seafloor and sub-seafloor (sub-bottom) conditions on the construction, operation and structural integrity of the proposed area.

Surveys requiring the acquisition of geophysical information are typically carried out using surface towed sensors. AAE's boomer and sparker systems are being utilised to collect sitespecific data such as stratigraphy, sediment variability and structure, buried boulders and rocky outcrops.

Geomorphological features such as faults and folds can also be detected as well as the presence of shallow gas pockets and other potential geo-hazards. The method used to achieve this is a seismic reflection technique that relies on the interpretation of reflections from acoustic impedance changes at geologic formation boundaries.

Each AAE system consists of a vessel based seismic energy source (a CSP power supply); a seismic sound source towed on the sea surface (boomer or sparker); single or multi-channel hydrophone streamers that receive the reflected signals, and data acquisition and processing software. Offering a modular range of sub-bottom profiling products, AAE is able to configure systems that can be used aboard any size of survey vessel and for varying conditions of geological states and water depths.

Each AAE system consists of a vessel based seismic energy source (a CSP power supply); a seismic sound source towed on the sea surface (boomer or sparker); single or multi-channel hydrophone streamers that receive the reflected signals, and data acquisition and processing software

SHALLOW WATER SURVEYS Whilst AAE produces an extensive range of geological survey systems, the S-Boom triple boomer and the Dura-Spark sparkers are particularly adept in shallow waters in which these site surveys and cable route surveys are generally carried out.

Four seismic sound source sparkers are available for these applications, ranging from the L80, a lightweight 80 tip sparker used extensively in very shallow areas, coastal or estuarine surveys, up to the twin-deck UHD 400 + 400, which features 'tuneable' twin banks of electrode tips that can provide the highest resolution data for windfarm site survey applications.

In addition to the geological information acquired with the towed sub-bottom profiler, AAE also provides positional information of the hydrophones through the use of 101G MiniPod submersible GNSS receivers. The MiniPods can be installed on the head and tail buoys of the hydrophone

streamers to confirm their precise position enabling georeferencing of the geological data.

When integrated with geo-technical results from core samples, borings and data from bathymetric and other surface condition surveys, the data collected using AAE sub-bottom systems provides a key insight that ultimately helps to determine the suitability of proposed offshore installations, helping to create and sustain the future of renewable offshore energy.

TUGS, TOWING & SALVAGE

DELIVERY AND ORDER ROUND-UP

20 | JULY 2020

8 Three of the five vessel order for Svitzer at Port of Sohar have been delivered

Staying in the US, McAllister Towing has welcomed a new family member of note in the 6,770hp Tier IV Z-drive tug Eileen McAllister. To be based at Port Everglades, the 84tbp tug was built by Washburn & Doughty and becomes the 34th tractor tug in McAllister's fleet.

Finally, news of a recent order from the Southern Hemisphere involves a pair of tugs for South Africa's Transnet National Ports Authority from the ways of Cape Town-based Veecraft Custom Commercial Craft.

With the regular reporting of tugs powered by azimuthing or cycloidal thrusters it is a change to report a tug of conventional design involving Cummins 2,000hp K38 main engines driving Teignbridge five-bladed propellers through ZF 2750 gearboxes fitted with a trolling-valve to allow slow speed precision manoeuvring.

Of modest dimensions, the 19.3m pair will deliver 15tbp and speeds in excess of 10kn with a towing bollard and hook aft.

Accommodation is provided for up to six persons and with a fuel capacity of 28m3 and water capacity 10m3 they will have a wide range of responsibilities including towage and pilotage duties.

8 Piriou will build 20 tugs for the French Defence Procurement Agency

If the order of reporting is determined by significance, Piriou's contract to supply twenty 30tbp tugs to the French Defence Procurement Agency would win the prize. The order comprises 15 harbour and five harbour/coastal tugs for naval bases at: Toulon, Brest, Cherbourg, Fort de France and Papeete. To be built at Concarneau with project management by Piriou's JV partner KERSHIP, construction is due to begin before the end of 2020 with four deliveries per year from summer 2022.

Updating a previous delivery report, the world's first Advanced Variable Drive hybrid tug, the 70tbp Bogacay XXXVIII is reported by Sanmar to have “performed admirably alongside her diesel mechanical sisters in the Izmit Bay fleet.”

Sanmar also reports three of the five vessel order for Svitzer at Port of Sohar have been delivered. Ordered as part of a 15year renewal of Svitzer's Sohar operation, the package comprises three Bigaçay class RAstar 2900SX and two Sirapinar class RAmparts 2200SX tugs.

Following delivery of the Sirapinar class pair Svitzer Barka and Svitzer Liwa, the first Bigaçay class Svitzer Sohar is now in service. Slightly larger than the former pair the RAstar 2900SX design features a sponsoned hull enhancing escort towing and seakeeping performance. Caterpillar main engines develop 5,050kW in total powering Kongsberg US255FP thrusters delivering 80+tbp.

Firefighting, pollution response, support and salvage is also listed in its capabilities with a DMT escort winch forward and one of the three is to include an aft towing winch.

Returning to Piriou, its Vietnam facility recently delivered VB Longchamp and VB Guardian to Boluda France for operation in Le Havre. Shipped to the Netherlands by heavylift vessel they are the final pair of a six-vessel order for Boluda by Piriou following VB Concorde and VB Mirage (Boluda Nantes Saint Nazaire) and VB Acheron and VB Surprise (Boluda Marseille Fos).

Piriou's OST 30 Omni Stern Tug designs are capable of both harbour and deepsea operations with a hull length of 30.3m, bollard pull 75t and speed 13kn. A double-drum escort winch is provided forward with towing and tugger winch for deepsea towage aft.

Still with Europe-based builders, Damen recently delivered the Multi Cat 1908 Patricia Matheson to Isle of Mull, Scotlandbased workboat operator Inverlussa Marine Services. It is the company's first Damen-built vessel and will operate in the aquaculture sector. Modifications from standard specifications include positioning of the capstan, cranes and manoeuvring stands along with changes to the accommodation and an additional generator to serve the aquaculture industry.

Robert Allan Ltd has reported delivery of the RApport 2500 tug Hercules, a marque that has been a US West Coast standard for nearly 20 years. This new addition for Crowley Maritime is a product of Diversified Marine Inc of Portland, Oregon and described as “a compact, flush-decked and cost-effective ASD tug developed specifically for ship assist work in busy harbours.”

Providing “a new standard for elegant simplicity in design” the 24.99m LOA vessel supplies a respectable 89tbp from Caterpillar main engines driving MT627 thrusters with 2.7m diameter fixed-pitch propellers.

Credit: OSD IMT

Hoofddorp, the Netherlands-based ship designer OSD-IMT has expanded its range of tugs with the unveiling of a new multi-purpose tractor tug design.

OSD-IMT offer a range of services including refit and conversion projects and marine consultancy but it is its extensive range of specialist vessel designs that catch the eye, its portfolio mainly involving tugs and offshore industry related vessels.

The operational profile often determines the client's requirements in the design of a new tug from standard off-the-shelf examples to bespoke variants and OSD-IMT's latest addition, the Cyclotrac 3960 is marketed as “perfectly suited” for harbour towage and ship handling along with coastal towage and escort operations. With a nod to the increasing popularity of efficient and environmentally friendly operations it is offered in diesel direct, diesel electrical or hybrid with or without batteries.

The design features Voith cycloidal thrusters forward in tractor configuration providing a bollard pull of up to 90t and speed 12kn from twin 3,300kW main engines and principal dimensions include: LOA 36.7m, breadth 15m and maximum draught 7.8m. The option for fifi1 notation from two 1,200m3/hr monitors is included.

As typical with tractor tugs, towing is over the stern via a 250t brake load waterfall type winch.

Deck crane, 100-ton SWL towing pins and 5t capstan are also included with accommodation provided for 10 persons. Wheelhouse equipment includes INMARSAT-C area A-3 GMDSS, electronic chart plotter, X-band radar and an EPIRB and SART.

8 The Cyclotrac 3690 is built to a tractor tug configuration

The design has a hard chine hull for ease of construction with a large deep fin keel aft and high forecastle deck providing good seakeeping performance, the hull shaped to reduce drag and enhance stability.

In other news from OSD-IMT, PT Patria Maritim Perkasa (Indonesia) recently launched the first OSD-IMT7402 shallow-draught tug.

Built to a conventional design, two 610kW Yanmar main engines power fixed-pitched propellers in nozzles with performance figures of 18tbp and speed 8-10kn. A towing hook is

provided aft and fendering includes a push bow.

As with the new Cyclotrac marque, accommodation is provided for ten persons.

Dimensions include LOA 23.6m, breadth 9.4m and minimum draught 2m allowing operation in water depths of 2.5m and this particular example will assist the berthing, unberthing and towing of 300' barges along the Barito river in the South Kalimantan area of Indonesia.

Svitzer has announced three contract extensions and a new towage service provision agreement demonstrating the global reach of major tug operators.

Svitzer is one of a handful of major shiphandling tug owners who have expanded globally connecting their towage expertise with specialist knowledge of local employees.

In 2007 Svitzer commenced towage services at Sakhalin II, Russia's first LNG gas plant. With the contract up for renewal Svitzer has signed a ten-year extension with Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd effective from November 2020. Four TundRA 3400 ice class tug: Svitzer Aniva, Svitzer Busse, Svitzer Korsakov, and Svitzer Sakhalin along with two mooring boats all operated by 58 Russian crew and nine shore staff provide support services at Prigorodnoye.

In Canada Svitzer has renewed a contract dating from 2010, providing shiphandling and safety standby services from three tugs at NuStar's Point Tupper oil storage site. The

the US Gulf coast and Caribbean markets.

The contract involves two tugs supporting GTI Statia's storage facility including berthing and unberthing of tankers on the island of St Eustatius, an operation comprising 60 commercial tanks and extensive marine infrastructure in addition to the tug and barge contract Svitzer holds to support the terminal's operational needs. Among the tugs located around the island are a series of Zamakona Spain-built ASDs built in 2007 and 2008.

Moving to the African continent, a five-year extension has been agreed for Svitzer's contract with Egyptian LNG to assist the land based Idku LNG plant, an operation involving four tugs, two mooring boats and one pilot boat.

Finally in what is described as “an important step towards strengthening its presence in Africa” Svitzer has reported signing of a five-year contract with Nacala Logistics in Mozambique for harbour towage, pilot transfer and potential salvage work in the port of Nacala.

On the African continent, Svitzer is now operating in Egypt, Angola, Morocco, Liberia, and Mozambique.

Salvage round-up

Caterpillar Marine has reported on collaboration for the next generation of tugs in the US and provided further details of its first Advanced Variable Drive tug built in Turkey

8 Bunker fuel was removed by zip-wire and hose from Blue Star to the shore

Tsavliris Salvage has assisted two immobilised bulk carriers including the Chris GR laden with 51,400t of bulk maize on passage from Brazil to Japan which encountered engine problems around 20 miles east of Cape Bojeador, Philippines.

Tsavliris was contracted to assist and the tug Salvage Champion mobilised to establish a tow, another tug Salvage Worker also deployed with storm force winds and heavy sea present. The convoy arrived safely at Hong Kong nine days after the initial breakdown.

Tsavliris was again on hand when the laden bulk carrier Aeolus lost steering off Monemvasia, Greece while on passage from Turkey to Argentina. The tug Vernicos Sifnos quickly established a tow in “severe weather conditions” and was later joined by the tug CH. Gemitzoglou. Following a diving inspection at Neapolis and with Alexander 5 replacing the second tug, Aeolus was safely towed to Piraeus.

Smit Salvage has also been active on a global basis including in Europe, bunker removal from a grounded bulker off Sardinia and provision of salvage services for a gas carrier on France's inland waterways.

When the tanker Blue Star suffered a blackout followed by grounding on a rocky shoreline in Galicia, Spain local tugs tried unsuccessfully to refloat the ship. Smit Salvage was contracted under LOF to salvage the ship and protect the environment.

Bunker fuel was removed via hose and “zip-line” to road tankers on shore and a tug connected to stabilise the vessel.

Meanwhile Smit/Boskalis called in two of its 'big beast' AHTs Union Princess and Boka Pegasus (207tbp and 257tbp respectively) to refloat the vessel after the breached tanks were pressurised and redeliver it to its owners in Ferrol.

A similar fate befell the laden tanker Chemitec when it grounded on a reef following engine problems off Bolinao, Philippines. Smit Salvage and long-time partner Malayan Towage and Salvage carried out a dive survey which concluded that partial lightering of cargo would allow a safe refloating.

22 | JULY 2020

Caterpillar Marine has announced a collaboration with Brusco Tug & Barge involving a Cat marine solutions package for two newbuilding RAL RAmparts 2500 tugs built by Diversified Marine Inc. The 84 short ton bollard pull tugs are powered by US EPA Tier 4 Final certified Cat 3516E main engines developing 2,240kW at 1,800rpm supported by Cat C7.1 gensets of 118ekW each and MTA 627 azimuth thrusters with 2.7m diameter propellers. The full system package from Caterpillar Marine is expected to produce “a class-leading tug”.

Enrique Aponte, Caterpillar Marine territory sales manager for the US west coast says: “This vessel will change the escort tug industry, as currently, no other tug in service has the dynamic thrust and force that Caterpillar is providing in such a small footprint as this tug.

With the world's fleet needs, this tug will be able to manoeuvre between vessels and piers with its substantially decreased turning radius.”

Last month's delivery round-up reported on Boğaçay XXXVIII, Sanmar's 200th delivery to a Robert Allan Ltd design featuring the first example of Caterpillar Marine's Advanced Variable Drive (AVD) technology and with the tug's naming Caterpillar has provided technical details of the AVD system.

The vessel has Caterpillar 3512 main engines, a C32 auxiliary engine and Cat MTA 627 fixedpitch thrusters and bridge controls, the AVD integrated propulsion system optimises engine

This vessel will change the escort tug industry, as currently, no other tug in service has the dynamic thrust and force that Caterpillar is providing in such a small footprint as this tug and system operation independently of propeller speed, supplementing power hydraulically with “significant fuel cost savings”.

Three different modes of operation are provided involving the push of a button, transit mode operates with main engines powered off and unclutched, propulsion sourced hydraulically via an auxiliary engine providing a maximum speed above 9kn. In work mode, propulsion is provided hydromechanically allowing the most efficient combination of engine and hydraulic systems and a bollard pull of up to 60t. In boost mode the auxiliary engine provides additional hydraulic power through the AVD system and a bollard pull of 70t or over 13kn maximum speed.

Caterpillar state that the improved response manoeuvrability and positioning along with a lower noise profile represents the next step in optimised performance and efficiency.

MARINE RENEWABLES

MODULAR FLOATING PLATFORM FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES A new project is set to revolutionise local renewable energy generation and storage following the development of a modular construction system, writes Dag Pike The £1.4million Marlin Star project, led by Plymouth-based technology developer Frontier Technical Ltd. and funded by the Energy Catalyst program, will progress the development and commercialisation of this innovative modular, floating renewable energy platform that will enable coastal communities access to stored and transferable clean energy.

By using modular construction the system avoids any requirement for massive construction sites and heavy lift equipment, factors that make it suitable for smaller scale local operations.

The Marlin modular floating platform is the patented invention of engineer Trevor Hardcastle. He commented, “Our intention is for the configurable Marlin floating platform to be a UK innovation success story. We will apply UK research, technology and manufacturing expertise and export to countries in need of replacing fossil fuels and wood burning with cost-effective sustainable renewable energy that can be operated and maintained locally.”

Our intention is for the configurable Marlin floating platform to be a UK innovation success story.

We will apply UK research, technology and manufacturing expertise and export to countries in need of replacing fossil fuels and wood burning with cost-effective sustainable renewable energy that can be operated and maintained locally The system is based on modules that have a hexagonal cross section, a shape that allows the modules to be bundled together to form larger structures. It is planned that construction of the modules could be in concrete, steel or composites and each module could be outfitted for a different purpose depending on the final requirements of the completed structure. Possible outfitting could include ballast tanks, energy storage such as batteries or hydrogen and even propulsion.

For providing power to remote communities the final structure could be in a semi-submersible form with underwater buoyancy providing support for vertical above water columns that could support a wind turbine. Proposals have been developed for a 50kW turbine to be built as a prototype unit for trials in Plymouth Sound and this would then provide the confidence to move forward to a 2mW turbine unit which would be the standard configuration.

Engineering services firm Francis Brown Ltd will progress offshore fabrication and Tension Technology International will be working on an innovative synthetic mooring and anchoring system, with Plymouth Marine Laboratory deploying and testing the platform offshore. Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult will undertake market analysis and the mechanical testing, assembly and initial demonstration of the floating platform.

MARINE RENEWABLES

With a 16M EUR investment plan, wave energy developer CorPower is establishing a R&D, Manufacturing & Service Centre for Wave Energy Converters in Viana do Castelo, northern Portugal.

The location has been chosen to support CorPower's flagship demonstration project HiWave-5, and for the long-term development of supply and service capacity for commercial wave energy farms. Several factors have contributed to choosing Viana do Castelo for this investment, and are not just limited to Portugal's undeniably powerful Atlantic swells.

A strong competence pool of engineers from adjacent sectors such as offshore wind, composite manufacturing and shipyards, top level universities and industrial infrastructure including ports and grid connection allows effective upscaling of operations in the region.

Portugal also presents an ideal environment for HiWave-5 due to its natural assets and environmental consciousness. CorPower's work strongly complements the Portuguese Industrial Strategy for Ocean Renewable Energies, designed to create a competitive and innovative industrial export cluster for ocean renewable energy.

Grid operator REN recently installed a new offshore cable servicing floating wind, and there is significant commercial interest from utilities and project developers for next generation wave project development.

“This is a crucial stage in our pursuit to develop a new class of high efficiency Wave Energy Converters," says Patrik Möller, CEO of CorPower Ocean. “CorPower's goal is to successfully introduce certified and warrantied WEC products to the market by 2024, making wave energy a bankable technology that can attract mainstream renewable project finance.

CorPower and port authority APDL Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões and Viana do Castelo - have reached an agreement to develop the ocean energy facility within the commercial port of Viana do Castelo.

CORPOWER OCEAN LAUNCHES IN PORTUGAL

It will provide space for the fabrication, assembly and servicing of commercial scale wave energy converters.

Mr Möller added that CorPower will also be contributing to the local blue tech cluster and maritime related value chains. “The arrival of CorPower Ocean Portugal Lda provides a foundation to ramp up exports and attract inward

investment to the region,” he said. “Around 15 highly qualified engineering jobs are planned for the next three years, covering composite design and manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, control and marine operations.”

A new eco-friendly Autonomous Guard Vessel (AGV) design is anticipated to be smaller, lighter and more efficient than others in the offshore wind market.

This AGV design to replace conventional guard vessels came about in a project group facilitated by LISA, a community for maritime professionals. The project group resulted in a consortium, which includes CJob Naval Architects, SeaZip Offshore Service, Sea Machines, MARIN and eL-Tec elektrotechniek BV. The AGV is specifically designed for surveying offshore structures throughout their life cycle, ranging from wind farms to substation platforms and cable routes.

Eco-friendly AGV for offshore wind

8 The Autonomous Guard Vessel design features battery power and solar panels

As the AGV does not require crew, the ship will be considerably smaller than existing guard vessels. Reduced propulsion requirements also enable a battery-powered

design for zero-emission propulsion and solar panels across the top to provide back-up power. Additionally, the reduced power and lack of onboard crew leads to lower operational costs.

The AGV will recharge its batteries via a charging station. The charging station can be moored independently or connected to existing equipment onsite. Depending on the situation, charging could either be via a cable connection to the on-site equipment such as an offshore transformer platform or locally generated using renewable fuels.

The consortium envisions an offshore site will need a number of AGVs, which can take turns in monitoring the area and recharging.

VESSEL LAUNCH

20m WORKBOAT FOR SPECIAL FORCES Inkanyamba, a 20m Monohull Workboat, has recently been delivered to the Armaments Corporation of South Africa (ARMSCOR) Built by Cape Town shipbuilder Veecraft Marine, and designed

by Australian naval architects Incat Crowther, the vessel will be tasked by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) with the transportation of personnel, equipment and also support training activities in coastal waters up to 10 miles off the coast under inclement weather conditions often experienced in the area. The vessel is designed in accordance with BV requirements and in compliance with flag state rules as defined by South African Maritime Authority (SAMSA) for Category C vessels.

The main deck features a forward deckhouse with wheelhouse above and a generous 25m2 aft cargo deck. The modestly sized deckhouse is fitted with galley and mess areas along with two toilets and a deck locker accessible from the cargo deck. The wheelhouse is arranged for 360-degree visibility, including an unobstructed view of the cargo deck.

The vessel will be tasked by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) with the transportation of personnel, equipment and also support training activities in coastal waters up to 10 miles off the coast under inclement weather conditions often experienced in the area The cargo deck of the aluminium vessel is able to accommodate a 6m ISO container and is also fitted with a 5t marine crane. A foldable dive platform is fitted aft of the transom along with stairs integrated into the main deck to provide safe access.

Below deck includes two 7.5 cubic metre cargo holds with access hatches above, engine room, fuel and water tanks, and overnight accommodations. The overnight accommodation features three staterooms for a total capacity of twelve personnel.

Other notable features include a robust fendering system and heavy towing bollards on each end of the vessel.

With a service speed of 15 knots at a substantial deadweight load of 20 tonnes, the vessel is powered by two MAN D2862 LE431 marine engines rated at 588kW @ 1800rpm driving Teignbridge fixed pitch propellers through ZF 2050 gearboxes.

Inkanyamba is the twelfth Incat Crowther vessel built by Veecraft in less than a decade.

Yellow ferries are the greenest in Copenhagen Damen Shipyards Group has delivered five Damen 2306 E3 electrically propelled ferries to Arriva Denmark in Copenhagen.

The ferries make significant strides towards a zero emission service, reducing Copenhagen's public transport NOX emissions by 2.5%, CO2 emissions by 10% and particulate emissions by 66%.

The ferries are prepared for remote monitoring. Informed by a network of sensors incorporated into the vessel, Damen's remote monitoring department is able to set up a dashboard tracking such things as sailing patterns, battery lifecycle and swell dynamics. This allows fine-tuning of the operation towards greater efficiency and reduced downtime for maintenance.

VESSEL REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

NEW UNDERWATER INSPECTION SERVICE FOR UK Ships arriving in UK waters call at Falmouth anchorage for a variety of reasons, including underwater class approved surveys, maintenance and damage inspection to save on the costs and time delay of dry-docking, and now there is a new provider of UWILD (Underwater in Lieu of Drydocking) surveys available for classification bureaux. Since the recent closure of Sub Marine Services, this service has not been available locally but now marine contractor SeaWide Services has achieved full ISO 9001 certification, along with HSE and ADC (Association of Diving Contractors) accreditation for special periodic and annual survey of vessels classified by ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and DNV-GL (Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany). The company has also applied for Lloyds and Bureau Veritas accreditation.

SeaWide Services is a diving and salvage specialist, as well as mooring and general marine contractor, which has been active for almost 50 years, led by Captain Brendan C Rowe. The company has many years' experience of ship maintenance and survey, and has a pool of a dozen trained divers on hand. It was active in the rescue, repair and immobilisation of the Russian bulker Kuzma Minin which went aground in December 2018 (MJ January 2019).

For classification surveys the company deploys a minimum five-man dive team, including a dive supervisor, and has recently acquired a state-of-the-art C-Technics subsea video and voice recording system to monitor dive surveys and feed data to the surface, while providing the ship owners with video evidence.

With the appropriate bureau surveyor on board, a classification survey involves inspecting general hull condition, making sure sea chest gratings are clear and intact, checking steering gear and propellers, making periodical tests of stern tube wear-down measurements and the same on various rudder clearances. The system can be used by two divers

simultaneously with cameras that can be hand-held or hatmounted for other kinds of work, such as replacing or polishing propellers on super yachts.

The company has two dive support vessels, Boy Brendan and Obervargh (MJ August 2019). One of the first inspections made in Falmouth Bay was on the loaded product oil tanker Polar Cod, (73,919 DWT) with a 14.5m draft, which meant that divers' bottom times were limited. The clear waters of that sheltered anchorage give great underwater visibility but the company operates anywhere in UK coastal waters.

Tug antifouling systems deal Lamers System Care has received an order to install Sonihull's Ultrasonic Anti-fouling Systems on a further 11 tugs in the Boluda fleet.

The installations follow four successful installations for Boluda Towage Europe in 2019, and will provide effective and environmentally safe anti-fouling protection in the vessels' cooling water inlet pipes, strainers, box coolers, sea chests and onboard fire-fighting systems.

According to Sonihull, 'these systems have many advantages compared to impressed current anti-fouling systems. Operators can expect to save up to 90% of capital and lifetime maintenance costs when protecting their raw seawater cooling systems with

no cutting, drilling or welding and there are no expensive consumable anodes to replace'.

In August 2019, Lamers System Care performed the first Sonihull installation on a Boluda tug. Three more followed, including the Union Coral and Union Pearl. On these vessels, Sonihull protects the cooling water inlet pipes, strainers, box coolers, sea chests and firefighting systems from fouling. If the cooling water inlet pipes and box coolers are kept free from fouling, this will prevent all kinds of malfunctions in equipment and main engines. It is important for the strainers that they retain their functionality as a filter.

Keeping the fire extinguishing system free from fouling is also crucial for fire safety on board the ship.

SCANDLINES CONSIDERS SECOND ROTOR SAIL INSTALLATION Danish-German Scandlines will consider a second rotor sail plant for its hybrid ferry Berlin if experience with the just-installed system on sister ship 'Copenhagen' proves positive, writes Tom Todd Spokeswoman Anette Ustrup Svendsen told Maritime Journal the 169.5m Copenhagen is currently the only Scandlines ship with the system. However “if the experience is good, we will consider installing a rotor sail on the Berlin as well”, she said.

Scandlines expects a 4-5% reduction in CO2 emissions from the rotor plant, fitted overnight in Rostock in May. The port is the German end of the Baltic Gedser-Rostock route served by the two 5,088dw, 21 knot hybrids - both with Mak M32C engines, The 30m high and 5m diameter cylindrical rotor sail, based on the Flettner rotor concept, was installed by Finnish wind drive specialists Norsepower. However the groundwork for it was laid last year during a routine class renewal and maintenance visit

by Copenhagen to Poland's Remontowa Shipyard, when a steel foundation and cables for the rotor sail were laid.

Svendsen told Maritime Journal the power given to the ship by the new system “corresponds to the consumption of a 4mW engine under optimal wind conditions. 20 m/s slightly aerating from across”.

She added that expected average saving was about 600kW. “Under the right wind conditions, the rotor sail can deliver up to 1 knot of drive, so we can reduce performance on the drive machine accordingly. The rotor sail can supply indirect energy in the form of drive benefits, so we can save a main engine in the transmission approx. 4mW under optimal conditions”.

Norsepower Company CEO Tuomas Riski said the installation showed “retrofitting can be carried out without prolonged interruptions or disruptions to daily operations”. It had made Copenhagen “one of the most energy-efficient ferries in the world", he said.

Scandlines' CEO, Saren Poulsgaard Jensen said the new plant showed how “combining all ship optimization techniques is the key to greater progress."

Anette Svendsen commented, “the rotor sail is far cheaper than the new thrusters on the Puttgarden-Rödby hybrid ferries - an investment of €13 million”.

That referred to the recent fitting of Kongsberg Contez 35 thrusters on the Scandlines hybrids Schleswig-Holstein and Deutschland. Prinsesse Benedikte and Prins Richard get them next year.

Impressive SAR cruiser gets a going-over One of the most versatile cruisers in Germany's sea rescue service DGzRS is undergoing extensive routine overhaul until about mid August in the Tamsen Maritim shipyard, writes Tom Todd.

The now 20 year-old Arkona is one of two 27.5m class boats with the all-volunteer sea rescue organization and is 6.53m wide drawing 2.10m. Carrying a 7.5m tender, Caspar, with a Steyr MO256 K 43 engine, the cruiser is based in Warnemünde on the German Baltic, at the entrance to east Germany's biggest port Rostock. The Tamsen Maritim shipyard, also in Rostock, is regularly used by the DGzRS for newbuilding and overhaul.

The service says Arkona and sister Bremen are among the most powerful boats in its fleet and notable for their “particularly comprehensive” on-board array of search and rescue equipment and facilities. They include “an impressive fire extinguishing pump

Arkona power includes a central MTU 12V 396 TB 93 1,200kW diesel and two Caterpillar C18, 651kW units. It also has ZF and Reintjes gearings and a ZF Herion bow thruster. Top speed is given as 24 knots and range as 2,300nm. Its crew numbers nine, four of them permanently on board.

DGzRS spokesman Ralf Baur told Maritime

Journal the overhaul at Tamsen Maritim included routine engine maintenance, cooler cleaning, engine valve timing and oil change.The yard was also renewing paintwork and removing rust damage. The tender's radio equipment was being replaced.

Earlier this year Ernst Meier-Hedde, one of four 28m Class DGzRS SAR cruisers, was at Tamsen Maritim for overhaul lasting eight weeks before it returned to its station on the German Frisian island of Amrum.

Ralf Baur noted that DGzRS boats underwent regular overhaul every two to three years depending on how often they saw service. He told Maritime Journal: “These regular maintenance visits ensure that boats are on station and ready for service at any moment and that their technology can be relied on in an emergency”. He recalled this was not only for those at sea but also for the safety of the hundreds of volunteers.

CERTIFIED, READY-TO-GO 3D PRINTED PARTS

Photo: ShipParts.com

According to Roy Yap of ShipParts.com the promise of certified, 3D-printed parts that could be used “hot off the oven” may be realised sooner than you'd think The online marine supply company is helping push the research forward: it's collaborating on a project with Singapore's Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre (part of Nanyang Polytechnic) and class society ABS. Investigations are focusing on an SLM280 Selective Laser Melting device. This approach applies twin laser beams to powdered metal, fusing it together at specific points; complex forms can therefore be shaped from variety of materials including corrosion-resistant SS316L stainless steel.

The project will initially develop printing procedures and carry out tensile, chemical and microstructure tests of the printing medium against ABS rules and standards governing weld and material strength.

The second phase will see the creation of a complete pump impeller - the design criteria coming via ShipPart's manufacturing partners - and lastly, the impeller's performance will be evaluated while incorporated in standard equipment.

One key aspect is to optimise parameters “so that post-machining is minimised” said Yap; for

impellers, rough surfaces are a factor in hydraulic flow and friction loss.

However, the project's focus isn't efficiency alone: warranty is also an issue for future commercial viability. To allow support by the original maker, a printed version has to show itself to be a complete match for its

conventional mass-produced counterpart “in dimensions, tolerances, finishing, physical and chemical composition” said Yap. Therefore the ABS qualification “will form the bedrock for future certification of critical components for marine use”, he explained.

Moreover, it should allow the industry to begin to get comfortable with the idea.

Take up is not that far into the future, he predicted. While these first initiatives may be constrained by current systems, he expects a “technology leap” by 2022, prompted by widespread interest and investment in the AM industry. This will see the printing of larger, more complex parts in a variety of metals “including more reactive materials such as aluminium and copper”, he concluded.

Once the project is completed in January 2021, ShipParts.com will promote the commercialisation of the technology to provide 3D printed parts to end users on their platform with manufacturing and ABS certification.

DREDGING

FIRST DAMEN ELECTRIC CUTTER SUCTION DREDGER The Damen Shipyards Group has revealed its first Electric Cutter Suction Dredger, the ECSD 650 Electric motors powering the dredging system makes zero emissions dredging projects possible. Te electric power provides a significant reduction in noise, adding an extra tier of sustainability and ensuring the dredger's suitability for projects in densely populated and environmentally sensitive areas.

The ECSD is a modular dredger based on Damen's successful standardised shipbuilding philosophy. It is dismountable for transportation and easy to assemble in remote locations. Due to the standardisation of the design, Damen was able to quickly produce this sustainable product by simply exchanging diesel motors for electric ones, without the need for re-engineering. Standardisation also helps for easy adaptation of the ECSD to suit local power supplies.

On a conventional CSD 650, the rear side pontoons serve only to provide buoyancy. On the ECSD 650, the starboard side pontoon becomes an electrical nerve centre. The low voltage power system makes for easy maintenance and there is no requirement for special crew training. The associated reduction in vibration while dredging makes life more comfortable for those on board.

The ECSD is just one example of the products and services that Damen is pioneering as we fix our focus on our goal, to be the most sustainable shipbuilder. Our role is not just to build electric vessels Damen sales manager Sjoerd de Bruijn said: "The ECSD is just one example of the products and services that Damen is pioneering as we fix our focus on our goal, to be the most sustainable shipbuilder. Our role is not just to build electric vessels. As integrator we provide the connection, linking and aligning stakeholders from industry and academia. In this way we build a knowledge network that encourages the wider

development of sustainable solutions and ensures the longterm viability of the maritime industry."

Damen's work on vessel electrification falls under its so-called E3 umbrella: Environmentally friendly, Efficient in operation, and Economically viable. The shipyards group is currently working on a number of projects for other electric vessels, including ferries and tugs.

This includes seven fully electric Damen Ferries 2306 E3 for the city of Copenhagen, Denmark. These ferries have a completely emission free propulsion system which will reduce the total emissions of public transport in the city by 2.5% for CO2, 10% for NOx and 66% for particulate matter. Damen is also building two road ferries which will operate in Ontario, Canada. They will be the first fully electric ferries to operate in North America.

GREEN LOAN FINANCE FOR LNG DREDGERS Van Oord has developed a Green Loan Framework which is being used to finance three LNG powered trailing suction hopper dredgers currently under build at the Keppel FELS yard in Singapore

8 Van Oord’s three new vessels will each obtain a Green Passport and Clean Ship Notation

The new addition to Van Oord's financial strategy saw the first loans under the agreement signed by Rabobank and BNP Paribas in May. The Green Loans are linked to Van Oord's sustainability programme, S.E.A. (Sustainable Earth Actions), which is intended to accelerate climate initiatives, enhance energy transition and empower both nature and communities.

The Green Loan is structured according to the Green Loan Principles 2020 as drawn up by the Loan Market Association, the authoritative voice of the syndicated loan market. The Green Loan Principles aim to support environmentally sustainable economic activities. Van Oord's Green Loan Framework contains the criteria that the vessels must meet in order to qualify for this type of loan. one of the advantages of the Green Loan Framework is that additional green loans can be added to the framework in future.

The new trailing suction hopper dredgers are part of Van Oord's innovative investment programme and fit in with the company's ambition of making its fleet more economical and

energy efficient. The vessels will obtain a Green Passport and Clean Ship Notation. By using LNG, Van Oord will reduce the emissions of its fleet.

Each vessel will measure 138m LOA, with a beam of 28m and a hopper capacity of some 10,500m3. The investment is part of a fleet renewal programme, with the newbuilds replacing existing vessels to create a more energy efficient fleet. To that end, a climate control system on board will utilise the vessel's existing cooling and heating sources to recycle energy as efficiently as possible.

New CEDA Information Paper The latest information paper from the Netherlands based Central Dredging Association (CEDA) is titled: Assessing and Evaluating Environmental Turbidity Limits for Dredging.

A survey of companies and organisations working in dredging, conducted by the CEDA Environment Commission (CEC), indicated that respondents understood and supported the

need for environmental turbidity limits but did not necessarily think that the majority of the limits were scientifically or environmentally based. The CEC then asked the question: Is there a need for guidelines on how to set realistic and effective environmental turbidity limits for dredging? A resounding answer of Yes led the CEC to set up a working group which has produced this

WATERJETS GOING ELECTRIC ALL AT ONCE Two water jet manufacturers, Hamilton and Doen, have almost coincidentally announced that they can offer water jets from their range adapted for hybrid diesel and fully electric operation writes Dag Pike These two companies have adopted different approaches to hybrid operation with Hamilton offering the hybrid package as an addition to their standard water jets while the Doen unit has the electric motor incorporated into the water jet itself.

The Hamilton approach puts the company more in the position of a facilitator and they can offer their involvement in three different ways, one as the supplier of the water jet where the designer takes on the responsibility for incorporating the components into the system. The second is a sort of halfway house where the responsibility for the integration is shared and the third is where Hamilton takes over full responsibility for the entire propulsion system.

Hamilton pictures a system where the addition of the electric power is by means of an electric motor where the main engine drive shaft from the gearbox forms the centre of the electric motor so no clutches or separate drives are involved. They have designed a new control head for the system that allows it to operate automatically to match the load or where the operator can select the drive components as required.

These two companies have adopted different approaches to hybrid operation with Hamilton offering the hybrid package as an addition to their standard water jets while the Doen unit has the electric motor incorporated into the water jet itself In the Doen system the main drive from the diesel engine is maintained as in a conventional installation with the electric motor incorporated as an integral part of the water jet.Their waterjets can now be supplied with an integrated Power-TakeIn (P.T.I.) feature that allows a forward facing input coupling for the connection of an electric motor with a continuous rating of up to 150kW. Within the P.T.I. device there is provision for changing the

relative input/output ratio that enables the best match to be made between the power characteristics of the electric motor to the particular waterjet and engine system. This ensures that the optimal performance and efficiency is obtained when operating under both diesel engine and electric motor.

Doen claims that this innovative approach eliminates the need for any expensive hybrid-ready marine transmissions or special in-series transmission products between engine and gearbox, and provides a simple and cost effective device allowing a variety of possible modes of operations.

To support the Hybrid-Ready waterjet package, Doen's ECS400 control platform is readily able to interface to the electric motor, the electric power management system and the diesel engine; ensuring that the distribution of power to the water jet is managed seamlessly.

Cleaner Kohler generators Kohler is extending its marine generator portfolio with new EU Stage V emissioncompliant 50Hz marine ratings starting July 2020.

The Kohler Stage V marine generators, powered by John Deere engines, include sound-shielded models 45EFOZDJ, 55EFOZDJ and 100EFOZDJ; or open models 45EFOZCJ, 55EFOZCJ, 100EFOZCJ. The models are available in heat exchanger, keel cooling or fan-radiator cooling configurations with or without Marine certification, Lloyds, DNV-GL, BV, ABS or CCS.

With the introduction of the new Stage V models, Kohler now offers those vessels that must comply with EU Stage V emission requirements, the possibility to also benefit from Kohler's unique DEC3500 controller functionality, available on the entire Kohler marine generator range from 12kW 450kW at 50Hz. The marine-certified DEC3500 paralleling controller with integrated voltage regulator does not only control, monitor and protect the generator against for instant overload, but also offers the unique possibility to

automatically (PGEN) parallel and manage the load of two or more Kohler marine generators of different kW sizes (also for single phase systems) by simply connecting a communication wire between the respective gensets.

The DEC3500 controller is equipped with software integrated synchronization, load sharing and power management functions which no longer requires external, vessel integrated switchgear, thus saving on board space and extra investments.

ANOTHER SUPER-COMPACT PANCAKE MOTOR An American company Infinitum has developed a new concept of electric motor which they claim could represent the future for marine propulsion writes Dag Pike Currently there are versions of this advanced motor up to 15hp that are ready to be shipped but the company says that the next stage of development will be motors of 250kW that could be ideal as power units for electric vessels. These will offer a more compact and lightweight motor with the ability to design the motor to match the application. There is also the possibility of reduced costs per horsepower.

In these new electric motors the stator windings of traditional electric motors are replaced by a printed circuit board which the designers claim is both a cheaper solution and much more compact as well as being more efficient. Traditional electric motors use coils of copper wire for the stator, the fixed part of the electric motor whilst in the new type of motor the stator is a slim printed circuit board reducing both size and weight as well as improving reliability.

In these new electric motors the stator windings of traditional electric motors are replaced by a printed circuit board which the designers claim is both a cheaper solution and much more compact as well as being more efficient The CEO of Infinitum, Ben Schuler commented, “We are 'strongly encouraged' for an ARPA-E grant that will allow us to produce a 250kW propulsion motor. This would be the most power dense motor in the World and applicable to the majority of EV's (electric vehicles including marine applications)�. ARPAE grants are offered by the US Department of Energy for the development of electrical systems and applications.

The current range of Infinitum's electric motors are mainly aimed at the fan and pump market sectors and Schuler claims that in the next 24 months over 7500 units will have been

Retractable rim thruster launches A German propulsion expert has launched a retractable variant of its rim thruster that covers the power range up to 500kW. Designed for low-level noise and vibration, the Schottel Retractable Rim Thruster (SRT-R) has been developed from the company's existing rim thruster (SRT). Optimised by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the internal propeller blades are hydrodynamically designed to be highly resistant to cavitation.

The SRT-R can cover a thrust radius of 360 degrees. This offers additional versatility, and also allows the thruster to be optimally adapted to any requirement and operation profile, including dynamic positioning (DP) operation or as a take-home device.

Schottel is also offering the retractable rim thruster as an RT variant. This means that it also functions as a transverse thruster while retracted, making it highly effective in shallow water. Characterised by improved manoeuvrability, its range of application extends from brief docking and casting-off in ports to continuous operation with dynamic positioning. The company notes that it also stands out due to its short response time to steering commands, which make precise dynamic positioning easier at all times.

The SRT is an electric propulsion system.

The electric motor stator is installed in the outer part of the tunnel, while the propeller blades are attached to the inside of the rotor.

The company behind the innovative Volabo electric motor has announced that they have now put the motor into series production with the first units being available at the end of the year writes Dag Pike.

Developed and tested for both marine and automotive use, the Volabo electric motor uses a unique form of stator windings that allow much better torque and a more compact design. In marine form it will produce 80kW of peak power and a nominal power of 50kW and it is expected to match the Recreational Craft Directive requirements.

A unique feature of the Volabo motor is that it operates at 48 volts DC which the company claims is a 'safe to touch' voltage. This means that the wiring and clamping technology is much simpler and the technicians do not require extensive training and certification. Another advantage of the motor is its reduced weight which is set at 45kg, a weight that includes the integrated controller unit. Due to the low induced voltage, low voltage semi-conductors can be used in the ISCAD V50 and these are particularly efficient the company claims.

The motor can be mounted either vertically or horizontally due to a reinforced end shield and this makes the motor suitable for connection to saildrives, outboard motors, shaft drives and z-

Howard Arneson, the powerboat legend who gave his name to his famous surface drive system also used extensively in high speed commercial craft has died at the age of 99.

His invention of the Arneson Surface Drive was the first really successful surface drive system that changed the face of powerboat racing and which has been a feature on several ranges of performance production sports cruisers and high speed interceptor vessels.

Arneson had been a participant in powerboat racing from an early age and when one of his race boats flipped and put him in hospital for a spell he invented a swimming pool cleaning device. Production of the Arneson Pool Sweep provided enough money to pursue his powerboat racing and he first experimented with his drive system in an 18 foot boat in the late 1970s.

When the drive was perfected Arneson fitted two units in a Cougar race catamaran which went on to race successfully and the Arneson Surface Drive was born. By being able to both trim the drive up and down and sideways the performance of the surface drive could be fine tuned to the optimum setting in contrast to earlier fixed propeller systems and this greatly improved the performance and made surface drives viable.

One version of the Arneson Drive was fitted with a small electric motor coupled directly to a propeller clamped to the main drive and this was probably the first hybrid drive used on boats but it was not a commercial success.

Arneson pursued his love of high performance boats into old age. He set a record from New Orleans to St.Louis up the Mississippi River that still stands today and ran a Skater catamaran powered by a 4500hp gas turbine that was capable of speeds up to 170mph.

The Arneson Drive was sold to Twin Disc in the 1990s and is still in production today. The patent lasted for 25 years but when it finally expired the biggest tribute to this system was

With the new electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP), Voith is pushing ahead with the continuous electrification of its drive technologies.

Among the advantages of the new eVSP are high efficiency and the reduction of complexity, since the permanent-magnet synchronous motor is already integrated in the propeller system. The complete omission of gears reduces noise to a minimum and frees up critical space on the ship.

"With the electric Voith Schneider Propeller, we are making an important contribution to the electrification of the driveline in marine applications and thus to even more resource-saving shipping," said Dr. Dirk Juergens, Vice President of Research & Development for Marine Applications at Voith.

"The new eVSP was developed for this purpose for all applications involved in the mobility revolution, such as offshore supply vessels, tugs and ferries.” In addition, the eVSP offers ship operators future security through a high degree of flexibility in the choice of power generation (energy source) as well as low maintenance requirements thanks to its robust design. The follow-up costs in operation and maintenance are thus significantly reduced.

INNOVATIVE PROPULSOR NOW INCORPORATES ELECTRIC DRIVE synchronous motor as its main drive, which is fully integrated into the VSP and significantly reduces the required oil volume. In addition, no gears or transmissions are required, enabling stepless operation and virtually loss-free conversion of the electrical drive power with dynamic response characteristics. Furthermore, the eVSP impresses with its low weight and can be mounted without any shaft train restrictions.

The eVSP offers the same advantages as a conventional Voith Schneider Propeller. The core principle of the VSP, the combination of drive and control in one unit, has been continuously developed and perfected over the last 90 years. Ships with VSP designed for offshore wind have been proven to precisely maintain the set position even at wave heights of up to 4.5 metres. Voith says the VSP is also the only propeller in the world that can significantly reduce the rolling motion of ships and thus significantly increase comfort and safety on board.

OCEAN SAFETY’S SUMMER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS With the postponement of Seawork, Ocean Safety, like all the exhibitors, are having to work that bit harder to ensure that all their commercial customers are able to make informed choices “It's important that we always keep our regular customers and potential marketplace up to date with the latest survival equipment,” comments Ocean Safety's Sales Director Mark Acaster. “We must continue to promote equipment that meets with commercial regulations and make sure customers are always getting the right advice.”

With the Covid-secure measures in place during the summer and no chance to exhibit to visitors, Ocean Safety are even more distanced from their customers. “We had to cease our regular van runs from our branches in March to make deliveries and switched to using courier services instead to make sure that our customers are receiving their goods,” adds Acaster. “We also put a system in place to collect from our branches at pre-agreed times, incorporating the government guidelines on social distancing.”

The Hansen Protection range is one of the key new summer offers from Ocean Safety which was recently appointed as UK and Ireland distributor.

The Hansen Protection emergency immersion suits, work suits and thermal protection suits will have to wait for their first Seawork showing but in the meantime Ocean Safety are taking orders and emphasising their certified capability of servicing the suits. Also waiting for its physical debut to the maritime market is Ocean Safety's brand new liferaft canister designed for the ever-popular Ocean ISO liferaft. Along with new built in handles its reduced weight makes the raft easier to handle, a critical factor when launching it over the side of a vessel. Further refinements have also added to the weight reduction.

Opportunities to watch Ocean Safety's USAFE remote controlled motorized horseshoe lifebuoy, the DAME Design Award winner at METSTRADE 2019, will be

scheduled for the future. Still hotly anticipated as the star of the next Speed @ Seawork demonstration, USAFE is a highly intelligent piece of equipment which can propel a person in the water weighing up to 200kg at speeds of 15km/h.

“The equipment we are highlighting here is not just new; importantly each of these items incorporates advanced innovations and each works to improve the chances of survival in an emergency on the water more greatly than in the past,” explains Mark Acaster.

Ocean Safety's lifejackets, EPIRBs, MOB equipment - including the DACON rescue frame and liferaft range, plus two more Seawork newcomers, the Ocean Compact liferaft and the latest most powerful Aquaspec liferaft light, all continue to be part of the essential onboard inventory.

COMPACT EPIRB BUILT FOR QUICK RESPONSE A new Emergency Position Indicating Rescue Beacon (EPIRB) features a 30% reduction in size compared to other EPIRBs and a 10-year battery life.

Ocean Signal said it has developed the world's most compact Category 1 (auto-deploy) EPIRB - the SafeSea EPIRB1 Pro. Weighing 422g, the EPIRB1 Pro measures just 178mm (h) by 89mm (w) by 100mm (d).

James Hewitt, Ocean Signal's managing director, said: “Ocean Signal has a heritage of launching the world's smallest maritime safety products into the market, so we are excited to continue that heritage on to IMO vessels required to have a float-free EPIRB." The SafeSea EPIRB1 Pro is designed to release automatically from the Category 1 Auto Deploy Bracket once submerged in water and float free from a sinking vessel.

When floating on the surface, it will then transmit the boat's distress message to alert rescue authorities.

Users of the EPIRB1 Pro can expect their

POLLUTION CONTROL

NEW INSIGHTS FROM SHALLOW WATER CONTAINER LOSS RESEARCH On the night of January 1st 2019, the large container ship MSC Zoe was making its way on the southerly route along the Dutch Wadden Islands during a northwesterly storm

8 MARIN has advised the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management to conduct further investigations of three ship types

occurring in the future, it is important to look further to other ship types and sizes that sail this busy area. The same four phenomena will occur for smaller ships, but their sensitivity will be different as will be the limiting weather conditions for safe operations. Bas Buchner, president at MARIN: 'Based on the annual traffic above the Wadden Islands, MARIN has advised the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management to conduct further investigations of three ship types: ultra large containerships with lengths of up to 400 metres, like the MSC Zoe, a shorter and narrower Panamax, nearly 300 metres long, and a smaller container feeder with a length of 160 metres. The importance of testing smaller ships was underscored when the feeder Rauma lost seven containers on February 11th 2020. The goal of the present MARIN investigation is that these ships and their crews and cargos may also sail safely in this Particularly Sensitive Sea Area, as well as the prevention of container loss.

The storm caused the ship to lose 345 containers, leading to large-scale pollution of the sea and Wadden Islands. The Dutch Safety Board asked the Deltares research institute and the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, MARIN, to assist in an investigation. The aim: to answer two central questions: what could have caused the loss of containers off the Wadden Islands; and how can we prevent this in the future?

With detailed calculations, Deltares was able to determine the wind, current, water depth and wave conditions at the time of the accident. Arne van der Hout, senior advisor port and waterways at Deltares: 'The water depth on the route that night was between 21 and 26 metres. There was a northwesterly storm, with winds up to Beaufort 8, almost perpendicular to the route. Large beam waves with a significant height of 6.5 metres were coming towards the ship, resulting in extreme wave heights of up to 11 metres. These conditions occur once or twice every year in this area.' As a result of the shallow water above the Wadden Islands, the waves are steep with high crests. Regular breaking occurs, resulting in wave crests falling forward at high velocity. These dangerous shallow water waves are well-known to crews sailing regularly in the area.

The environmental conditions determined by Deltares were modelled accurately at a scale of 1:63 by MARIN at its unique model testing facilities. MARIN prepared a test model of an Ultra Large Container Ship like the MSC Zoe at this scale. MARIN also performed extensive calculations and simulations and talked to nautical specialists who have sailed containerships in this area.

Based on these investigations MARIN came to the conclusion that the following four phenomena together could have led to the loss of the containers: 1. 60 metre-wide containerships like the MSC Zoe are very stable; When a force is applied to them they want to return to their upright equilibrium position quickly. This results in a short natural period during which the ship starts to roll as it is brought into motion by an external force. For the present generation of ultra large containerships this natural period can be between 15 and 20 seconds, close to the wave periods that occur above the Wadden Islands during northwesterly storms. As a result, roll resonance can occur, causing heeling angles of up to 16 degrees.

2. In these beam waves, the ship does not only roll from side to side, but also heaves up and down many vertical metres.

When this happens, shocks and vibrations can occur in the ship, containers and lashings. The lashings can fail as a result.

3. In the very shallow water above the Wadden Islands, breaking waves can hit the side of the ship, resulting in a large upward jet of water reaching the containers, which are 20 to 40 metres above the surface of the sea. This is called 'green water', as it is massive sea water, not just white foam in the wind. This massive green water hits the bottom and the side of the containers. These can become damaged as a result, but complete stacks of containers can also be pushed over like dominos.

4. Finally: the hull of the ship was also hit by breaking waves.

This can result in vibrations throughout the ship, damaging containers and lashings. To prevent this type of disaster from

POLLUTION CONTROL

SNIFFING OUT THE IMO2020 MISCREANTS Against the backdrop of the IMO 2020 regulations, two Finnish have jointly developed the Sniffer Buoy for air quality and emission monitoring

8 The first Sniffer Buoy prototype is in the water now for a pilot period, springto-autumn 2020

The first Sniffer Buoy prototype is in the water now for a pilot period, spring-to-autumn 2020. It was installed in the Finnish west coast archipelago outside Turku and Naantali.

The Sniffer Buoy consists of remote emission monitoring instruments ecapsulated within a robust polyethylene navigation buoy combined with the AirNow emission monitoring service.

The Sniffer Buoy is capable of detecting air pollution particles from vessels' exhaust fumes. Sniffer Buoy coupled with the AirNow service´s AIS recognition and emission measuring instrument detects the amount of emissions and connects the results to right vessel. By using algorithms the program then assesses if the passing vessel complies with the adequate regional emission legislations.

The pilot is a part of the EU-funded Intelligent Sea project headed by Meritaito, in which a variety of technologically advanced buoys are tested in the ports of Naantali and Stockholm. The Sniffer Buoy is believed to be a real breakthrough in the market of marine air quality and emission monitoring. It is a fully automated watchdog, capable of spending years autonomously at sea working 24/7.

In remote emission monitoring installation location is vital as the exhaust plume moves with the wind.

The Sniffer Buoy can be installed almost anywhere and is easily moved to adjust to seasonal winds or changes in vessel operation routes. The Sniffer Buoy has its own solar power unit, so no external infrastructure investments or regular battery exchange is needed.

“We expect the Sniffer Buoy to have a huge market potential”, says Seppo Virtanen, responsible for international sales at Meritaito. “Co-operation with Kine Robot Solutions is very fruitful and the knowhow of both companies complement each other”. Kimmo Salonen, technology director at Kine Robot Solutions continues: “Several nations and significant merchant harbours still lack an automatized emission monitoring strategy. This product could prove to be the missing piece.”

The first pilots still have to verify the functionality of the product and the quality and reliability of the measurements. In the waters of the west coast archipelago in Finland the Sniffer Buoy will have to identify the emissions of dozens of vessels daily to be deemed a full success.

Alfa Laval getting to zero Scrubber manufacturer Alfa Laval has joined the Getting to Zero Coalition, a coordinated effort to fight climate change by introducing zero-emission vessels by the year 2030.

Alfa Laval is committed to reaching this vital goal, which is key to decarbonizing the global

shipping industry and reaching the International Maritime Organization (IMO) target of cutting vessel-related greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050.

“Stopping climate change is not only the greatest challenge of our generation, but also an obligation to the generations

that will follow,” says Sameer Kalra, President, Alfa Laval Marine Division. “Just as marine business spans the world, we must partner across the industry to tackle the global problem of greenhouse gas emissions.

Together we can - and will - lead the way to positive change.”

SECURITY

FIGHTING ILLEGAL FISHING WITH THERMAL CAMERAS Flir PT Series cameras have been used in a surveillance project to detect and monitor illegal fishing and poaching activities along the Spanish Galician coast The Flir thermal imaging cameras combined with maritime video analytics from Gradiant were ideal for spotting illegal vessels on a 24/7 basis and at a long range, says Flir.

The vastness of the Galician coastline and the multitude of fishing and farming activities call for a more automated surveillance approach.

The detection of unauthorized fishing and shellfish harvesting is of paramount importance for the Galician authorities. However, monitoring and protecting all of Galicia's inshore and offshore fisheries, shellfish harvesting areas, and marine aquaculture farms is a challenging task as Galicia has 1,200km of coastline. Its protection involves the surveillance of activity in 122 ports, including around 5,000 fishing boats, 400 beaches dedicated to shellfish harvesting, and 47 mussel aquaculture farms, with a total of more than 3,000 bateas (floating mussel farms).

Most illegal activity takes place at night, making it extra difficult for law enforcers to detect any type of vessel. The Galician climate does not help either.

With an average of 128 days per year of rain, visibility conditions are usually not ideal for surveillance operations. Manned surveillance patrols can only do so much; they are hindered by the climate and visibility conditions, making it impossible (from a practical and financial standpoint) for coast guards to cover the entire Galician coastline.

LONG RANGE MONITORING In 2017, the Galician Coast Guard started a project to test video surveillance of the coastline based on thermal imaging cameras. The pilot included the use of Flir's PT Series multisensor camera, combined with maritime video analytics software from Gradiant (Pontevedra, Spain). The multi-sensor installation was extensively tested on two different locations along the Galician coast. One set-up was used to monitor illegal vessels on coastal waters at short/medium range, while another set-up was used for long-range monitoring. The PT Series thermal cameras allowed the Galician Coast Guard to monitor the required area over a long range on a 24/7 basis, even at night and in adverse weather conditions. In addition, the Flir thermal images were enhanced by Gradiant's intelligent video analytics software for maritime applications. This software is specifically adapted for monitoring coastal environments and allowed the coast guard to detect, track and geo-localize people and vessels, including small wooden and GRP boats. The software enabled the thermal cameras to detect objects and people despite adverse maritime conditions, such as high waves, low contrast due to low light, fog and rain, reflections on the sea surface, camera vibrations, and the presence of distractors, such as birds and vessel wakes.

VIDEO ANALYTICS Gradiant's video analytics software allowed the coast guard to detect, track and geo-localize people and vessels.

The Flir PT Series is a high-performance multi-sensor pan/tilt security camera, incorporating an uncooled thermal camera with

sensitivity of <35mK and a visiblelight camera with 36x optical zoom.

While the thermal camera is used to detect threats over a long range based on their heat signatures, the visible-light camera can be used for verification and identification.

Two different configurations were used in this application. The long-range surveillance station used a Flir PT-606 camera, and was able to detect an inflatable boat at 4,000m. Despite its narrow field of view, this camera allowed for wide coverage thanks to the high-precision pan/tilt unit. The camera was able to sweep a wide field of view span in a pre-programmed sequence of pan/tilt presets. The port surveillance station used a PT-625, offering a good compromise between detection range and field of view with a single pan/tilt preset. The integration of the video analytics software with the camera was easy thanks to IP video streaming and the camera's ONVIF compliant interfaces for pan/tilt control. Long-range surveillance typically requires the use of lenses with a narrow field of view, which is a problem when you want to monitor wide areas. However, the video analytics from Gradiant was able to take advantage of the Preset Sequencing mode of the Flir PT Series. This allowed the coastguard to cover a wide field of view with a single camera and to perform video analysis on each pan/tilt preset.
